He doesn’t need our vote
“He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.” You see, He’s gone back to heaven. He gets the kingdom from the Father, not from you and me. We don’t vote Him in. When He comes next time, we’re told that He’ll dash them in pieces with a rod of iron. Friends, He’s not asking anybody to vote for Him when He comes the next time. They’ll either receive Him or they’ll be destroyed. That’s the way it will be next time. He came the first time as a Savior. Now He said He’s gone away to receive a kingdom. “And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come. But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.” And that’s just about what the world is saying to Him today. But that’s not going to keep God from sending Him to the earth.

About Dr. J. Vernon McGee
John Vernon McGeewas born in Hillsboro, Texas, in 1904. Dr. McGee remarked, "When I was born and the doctor gave me the customary whack, my mother said that I let out a yell that could be heard on all four borders of Texas!" His Creator well knew that he would need a powerful voice to deliver a powerful message.
After completing his education (including a Th.M. and Th.D. from Dallas Theological Seminary), he and his wife came west, settling in Pasadena, California. Dr. McGee's greatest pastorate was at the historic Church of the Open Door in downtown Los Angeles, where he served from 1949 to 1970.
He began teaching Thru the Bible in 1967. After retiring from the pastorate, he set up radio headquarters in Pasadena, and the radio ministry expanded rapidly. Listeners never seem to tire of Dr. J. Vernon McGee's unique brand of rubber-meets-the-road teaching, or his passion for teaching the whole Word of God.
On the morning of December 1, 1988, Dr. McGee fell asleep in his chair and quietly passed into the presence of his Savior.
