We need to live like people who want our King to rule this earth. Edmund Burke said, "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." Good men should educate themselves. Good men should first seek the Kingdom: A system of governance with the blessing and authorisation of the Almighty. God wanted to be our king, but we wanted our own king like the nations. Now we are stuck with 'the god of this world' legally ruling over us.
Deu 17:15 Thou shalt in any wise set him king over thee, whom the LORD thy God shall choose: one FROM AMONG THY BRETHREN shalt thou set king over thee: THOU MAYEST NOT SET A STRANGER OVER THEE, WHICH IS NOT THY BROTHER.So, we learn that some people are our brothers and some aren't. Who is my brother? The stranger is not my brother. He may be our neighbour though, and we are commanded to not oppress strangers because we were strangers in Egypt. We are currently strangers in Egypt, and we must anticipate and pray for the coming of the Kingdom. If we do the will of our Father, we are our Yeshua's brothers, sisters, and mothers:
Mat 12:50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.Our Father said that He will choose a king, and in fact, he already has. He has chosen his Son. But 'until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled', Satan has the right to rule. We however have to promote governance by the righteous - government according to His way. He has over many generations pleaded with us repeatedly. He had sent his prophets. Finally he sent his Son.
It is better to have one wise man rule over a nation, than to have a thousand blockheads choose a king. Democracy is mob-rule. Democracy is not supposed to work across ethnical boundaries either. Imagine we have one-man-one-vote across the entire planet, then we'll have some foreign president ruling over us, forcing his strange doctrines on us. This is where I believe democracy is taking the world: A dictatorship by a despot for sure.We are NOT to act like those who sent a delegation to heaven, saying, We don't want your Son reign over us. In the parable of the certain nobleman who went to a far country to receive for himself a kingdom after he's given them 10, 5 and 1 pounds, and told them to 'occupy till I come', we read:Luk 21:24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, UNTIL THE TIMES OF THE GENTILES BE FULFILLED.
Luk 21:25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Luk 21:26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
Luk 21:27 And then shall they see THE SON OF MAN COMING IN A CLOUD WITH POWER AND GREAT GLORY.
Luk 19:14 But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.They ended up slain:
Luk 19:27 But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.Let's behave like people who want our Brother to be king. He said of Jerusalem:
Luk 13:35 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, UNTIL THE TIME COME when ye shall say, BLESSED IS HE THAT COMETH IN THE NAME OF THE LORD.Those that are not ready when He comes will have to wait for a thousand years and learn righteousness while the Children of the Kingdom will rule over them. Blessed are the meek: for THEY SHALL INHERIT THE EARTH. Mat 5:5. Democratically ruled countries have never produced peace. The very system is based on partisanship — the division of people into diverse political parties. The majority wins and forces the others to submit. It's rule by the masses. I say, let the various people groups each govern themselves, within their own boundaries. We'll then see less division. If we are a friend of this world we are enemies of God. The demoncratic masses have chosen leaders who legalised abortion and sodomy. They quickly turned into kleptocracies legalising the embezzlment of money through deception. They are disarming honest citizens. They are biting the hand that feeds them. They plunder, rape and destroy. Satan rules, and we are so deceived that we are not even aware of it.
Exo 23:2 Thou SHALT NOT FOLLOW A MULTITUDE to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment:Although God has created all nations of one blood, he has set their boundaries accoring to the number of the children of Israel. Israel, spiritual Israel, will rule the world.
Deu 32:8 When the most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, HE SET THE BOUNDS OF THE PEOPLE ACCORDING TO THE NUMBER OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL.
Act 17:26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
The times of the Gentiles will be fulfilled when they say "Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord." We can choose to be part of this evil empire, or we can set ourselves apart and prepare ourselves for our King. We as kings and lords will govern with Him. As it is written, He will be Lord of lords, and King of kings.


Hey CJ ... I was trudging thru a pile of links and found yours . I believe I have been here before .
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion you seem to have quite a bit figured out .
As we all must be aware though , including myself , acquisition of Truth is an ongoing process . What sayeth Paul of the milk vs. meat ? And how we'd respond to each ?
Deeper truths will naturally be harder to digest until such time we mature in our growth and can handle it .
What sayeth the scriptures - line upon line , precept upon precept . To deny any level of the building is to weaken the whole structure .
I would like to offer a link bearing a few words I've already mentioned about Acts 17 : 26 for your perusal .
A true understanding of this verse , and subsequent realizations , usually exposes some of the last falsehoods to go . And they're the hardest for some to let loose .
If your welcome is extended and we both honestly can search for deeper understanding , you have so many good points I'd like to talk with ya later about . Didn't see no email available so it's this venue .
This link is from my blog and yer welcome to visit . Or perhaps you've already dropped by and that's the reason for no visit . Guess I'll find out . My exterior may be a bit crusty but such are the times and the resultant need .
As you know , His Will will be done ... not ours .
Take care .

Hi Jeff,
ReplyDelete(I also posted same on your blog)
Thanks for your kind comments on my blog. I'm still checking out yours. Lots of reading, and I'm such a slow reader; often having to read the same sentence twice to sense the spirit properly. Do you agree with my sidebar 'statement of faith'?
I think we have a slight difference in our understanding of God, and I think it's important.
I believe that Yeshua (Jesus) is the Son of God, and that Yeshua came to earth. His Father is our father, and his god is our God. Yeshua is our Brother, and God's Spirit is in him, you, and me.
1Jn 4 tells us that Yeshua came to earth; not God.
The rest, again, is in the sidebar.
Blessings till next time,
CJ
