A King Versus the King of Kings

When will Jesus begin His Kingly reign? Are Christians suffering helplessly until He returns? Acts 12 shows us that Jesus has been ruling over His Church since His Ascension and will "never leave or forsake' His People. His Sovereign Authority not only allows suffering and persecution, He Ordains, Predestinates and Regulates them according to His Immutable plan. Persecution is always by God's Permission and always serves His Purposes.
