What is near at hand?...

The "day" of the righteous rule of Christ over the kingdoms of the world.

When the Lord Jesus Christ returns and establishes His Kingdom on the earth there will be many laws that all people must obey. If we are rebellious and resistant to the laws of the Kingdom of God now we will be rebellious and resistant to the laws of the Kingdom of God then; because the laws now as well as then proceed from God.

One thing is certain: no person will be assigned a position of rulership alongside Christ who himself has never learned to be subject to rulership.
