John 12:30-32
Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.
Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
John
12:30 Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.
12:31 Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
12:32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all [men] unto me.

This he said, signifying what death he should die.
The “Rod of Iron” Jesus uses is not what you thought
The link says everything that needs to be said. Premills have this ridiculous idea that JESUS is going to be some evil king just like all the other prophetic beasts. it never occurs to you that after the thousand years satan is loosed …and somehow people are dumb enough to fight your physical beast king GOD.
You should be trying to become a citizen of The Kingdom today.
"evil king", "beast king"? I suggest that someone needs to do some fast back-peddling.

No, my friend, the King of Glory is not the waltzing pink flamingo that you try to paint Him as. He is a God of Justice to those who reject His precious gift. Do you deny the reality of eternal hell also?
It almost appears that you have written your own "bible".
