Thy Kingdom come

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

 

Most have no clue of what they repeat when citing the “Lord’s Prayer. It is not a prayer, it is a pattern by which we are supposed to  pray. The Americanized gospel has no clue.

 

In this pattern Jesus gave us to use to properly pray, the term or concept of ‘Thy Kingdom come” is designated as an object of prayers.

 

What we are actually to pray according to the Lord’s teachings to His learned ones, is we are to pray some substantial things to God and be a channel for the prayers to be worked.

 

We are supposed to pray the “all things”  to bring the Kingdom to this earth, to come to fruition.  Not for God to get in line, but for us the body of believers to mature to see the Kingdom appear. We must allow His will and not ours. That is a whole complete study way more than most are going to search out. This has dual considerations.

Strange to todays doctrines, of which I call the Americanized gospel,  it is unheard of that Jesus is the one on the throne, in God’s kingdom.
When we pray for this Kingdom come, includes, for Satan to be dealt with once and for all, Set Jesus as king upon the earth in the Kingdom come,  and all earth and man will be under his reign and authority, and all will align to His will.

I covered in a recent study that Jesus could not come during His first coming as King, as this would have been done then.  Sin would have been dealt with…and much much more. He came the first time as “Priest”, even after the order of Melchesidek. Not as King.

 

The baptizing of Jesus was not to wash away His sins, He had none. His baptizing was to wash the Priest for His priestly duties. This is clearly taught in the scriptures.  Now I understand few can understand this or accept it for denominational reasons or traditional teachings, and trust me, I will not try to interfere with one’s denominational nor traditional teachings. Only the Holy Spirit can do that. 

 

Without too much discussion, Rev. 11:15 is the ultimate answer to this prayer

. 

 15. The seventh angel sounded his shofar; and there were loud voices in heaven, saying,

 “The kingdom of the world has become the Kingdom of our Lord and his Messiah,

 and he will rule forever and ever!”

16.  The twenty-four elders sitting on their thrones in God’s presence fell on their faces and worshipped God,  

17. saying,“We thank you, Adonai, God of heaven’s armies, the One who is and was,

 that you have taken your power  and have begun to rule.

18.   “The Goyim raged.^[s] But now your rage has come, the time for the dead to be judged,

 the time for rewarding your servants the prophets and your holy people, those who stand in awe of your name, both small and great. It is also the time for destroying  those who destroy the earth.” Complete Jewish Bible

 

Let me add the KJV so as to not upset certain religious ones.

Rev 11:15.  The seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, which  said:“The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah,

    and he will reign for ever and ever.”

   16.  And the twenty-four elders, who were seated on their thrones before God, fell on their faces and worshiped God, 

   17.  saying:“We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty, the One who is and who was,

    because you have taken your great power and have begun to reign.

  18.  The nations were angry,

    and your wrath has come.  The time has come for judging the dead,

    and for rewarding your servants the prophets-and your people who revere your name,

    both great and small—and for destroying those who destroy the earth.”

 

So clear and simple. Study on!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No Satan influence in our life

Millennium 1000 years shows a life without the influence of Satan.

We talked last lesson of “why Satan will be bound the 1000 years of the millennium reign of Christ.”

I will suggest the answer here again.Satan’s absence certainly is not without purpose. 

 

We cannot blame Satan for our evil  thoughts which produce evil actions, as He does not control our thoughts.

 

Our thoughts are by our will. I say again, Our thoughts are subject to our will and certainly our actions are by our will also.

 

2  Corinthians 10:5

Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.

Read the whole chapter. We do not walk after the flesh……

 

We choose evil or good by the means of our own will.  We do need to understand, yes, the evil one can influence our choices, but it is our will that “pulls the trigger”

 

You make the choice of obedience or disobedience…..oh if we could stand before God and blame Satan for our failures.

 

Not your teachings of this age of fable sermons, but the fact is none the less true and every righteous person is a prime example of it.

There is inclination to sin or inclination of evil still within us whether we are “ Born again” or not.  

 

 Paul even declared in the book of Romans, how he wanted to do good, and the evil he did not want to do, and as us, Paul battled the influence of the evil one daily. He knew God’s order. (see teaching on Canaanite woman for “God’s order)

 

Romans 7:19

For the good that I would, I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.

 

Our righteous living is in Christ…..living by the guidance of the HOLY GHOST power of God.

 

It is how we “will” is the problem.

 

The millennial Kingdom shows is a lot of that evil inclination is within man, as In the millennium reign, Satan will be bound for the 1000 years and man will be able to experience life  without the influences of evil.

What can man see in this God action?
Men will then see that it is and was possible to live right choices without giving in to the temptations and influence of evil or Satan. 

The same choices that are available right now, but clouded by religion and fable teaching of man.

Man will get a seeing of what his Godly eternity will be.  

Man can see how life is and should have been all along…..yielding to God, and not Satan’s influences

But do not run happy yet. The proof will be when Satan is loosed again. Look at the results.

However at the end of the 1000 years, Satan will again be loosed and offer man his influences of his being and many men will follow as he rebels against God.

 

They will at this time have the same ability to make right choice…….the choice we have had all along, but with their “will”, will choose Satan and his kingdom and not God.

Even after man saw and experienced life without Satan, and lives under the righteous Kingdom with the very Son of God, ruling and reigning as the righteous and just King, 

they will still make the wrong choice of God verses Satan. Even after man lives with no influences of Satan, man will still succumb to Satan’s influence even after living free of it for 1000 years. 

Remember Satan got one third of the angels who had only experienced God to that time to follow him. Their will took  priority over the will of God. They lost their relationship with God by their own will. They chose to follow Lucifer.

 

In our time, we fail many times to understand, that God breathed “Spirit of Life” into man. A separate spirit than the indwelling  work of the Holy Spirit….the image of God likeness……

So that breathed in ManGave  at least the ability to have  a conscience, and makes man able to choose right from wrong.

 

There was no law given until Moses…..but man lived with a guidance until then…..

 

If you think of it, unrighteous men can do good.  That ability is in them. So choice is in all man. None will stand in “that day” and declare they did not know good from evil. And sadly good righteous men can do bad…..

 

God does place in us who are redeemed and truly seek Him, the Holy Spirit of God.  Since there is a Holy Spirit, there also dwells an unholy spirit. Both seek to guide and lead us. It is your choice which one gets control.

 

Again due to myth and fable preaching, we fail to understand evil. Evil gives us a choice morally. 

No the devil did not make you do it. Our “will chose to do it. Evil is the opposite of good. So evil comes or abides in where good is. (More on that later)

 

Satan is given so much false power. Satan certainly is not even close to having the power of God.

Satan does not even posses the power of Michael the archangel as that same archangel warred with Lucifer and Lucifer was cast out of heaven by Michael. So yes, Satan has the ability to influence, but not overcome. Walk in to a dark room and turn on the light and the light wins. Darkness becomes when light is cut off. Darkness is there.

Allow the light of God shine in us and the darkness is dispelled

(Isaiah 14:12)

(Ezekial 28:11-19)

(Rev 12:7-9)

Press on saints of the most high God, endure. Jesus is coming with sickle in hand.

 

Whole Earth Corrupt and Satan did not do it.

The whole corrupt earth, and the Devil did not do it.

Genesis 6:11-13

No the devil did not make you do it. God plainly says in verse 12,  that …”the earth was corrupt.” He went on and declares, “for all flesh had corrupted His way upon the earth.

Verse 13 states”for the earth is filled with violence through them” (All Flesh)

No, the devil was not accused of the corruption. God put the blame exactly where He saw the fault. All flesh had corrupted the earth.

I know that is not the Americanized version of todays teachings, but it is Gods’ declaration.

Verse 11 declares God saying, “The earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. 

It is repeated today. The day of lawlessness is here. It is played out everyday in the news. 

Jesus is coming with the sickle in His hand to harvest this earth. The wheat and tares will be separated. 

Are you wheat or tares?

Ripe with fullness of sin

Rev 14:12-20

¹² Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

The true body knows of this harvest.,

     They wait for it.-they long and desire it. They are not of the deceived.

     They know it is God who is allowing them to ripen, they wait to become sweet and ripe

     He is allowing the ripening…..not before……

James 5:7 kjv

7. Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.

We see here the plan of God in effect as He waits for us to become ripe. A ripening is happening in all. It is a law of God.

And ripe we will become as He works in us to bring us to the maturity of ripened fruit. 

We become full……and then the harvest. 

Here is the warning: Some to good, and some to evil.

Matthew 13: 24-30

Verse 24   Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:

Verse 25.  But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.

Verse 26. But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.

Verse 27. So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?

Verse 28. He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?

Verse 29. But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.

Verse 30. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

 Look to Rev. 14 verse 13

Verse 13. And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them

No dread in this group that face the harvest.

     There is rest from their labors. Their labor was long and hard. But it created works pleasing to the Father.

      Their works do follow them.

We are told by the “professing preachers” of this day there are no labors and no works 

In this life, but not according to the scriptures. 

I will trust God and let God be true, and every man a liar. 

There is a rest and there are labors.

     Rest only comes from those tired from work. 

These true believers are finally at a place of rest.

     Life is hard for the true church. They follow the commandments of their God. 

     They work without ceasing to be pleasing to the Father.

     They are never too tired to do the works of the Father.

As much as evil seeks to hinder and destroy the true and faithful, 

No amount of ungodliness will interfere with the life of these faithful ones.

Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

Note the two things that show them as the true….. as the wheat and not the tares.

They keep the commandments

They keep the faith of Jesus

Here at this appointed time, all the faith and patience of Christ’s faithful servants will  be a reality.

This time will prove these to be the faithful and true……

Not the counterfeit, the tares…….

They have obeyed the commandments of God and kept the faith of Jesus, 

These are never separated in the true called……in death, there was found, faith and practice

Death could not even stain the righteous soul of them.

From all troubles, sorrows. Sufferings, from all calamities, infirmities, and miseries of their preceding life

No sin shall effect them anymore. They reap the comfort of all the good works 

 Verse 14. And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.

Human means may be used to restrain the mystery of lawlessness.

Governments, laws, society,  keep it in check for a time. 

But a time will come that only God can deal with the sin by Harvest. The ripeness will demand final seperation.

The true separator steps onto the beginning of Harvest.

A sickle is used at the time of Harvest.

     Harvest is sure as the Sharp sickle is in His hand, and it is set in a time and season of God.

The sickle in his hand is moments away from the separation that is going to occur…..

No mistakes, no missing a deserving one……

     A time of ripeness is at hand. That time that many have considered as myth or untruths by the masses will now be the reality. “The new norm”

While earth remains, no man will mock God. The laws of the Harvests are sure and 

 Settled.

There are two harvests here. One of the righteous, and one of the evil. 

The true harvest now comes to ripeness and the putting in of the sickle.

All will be of the two harvests.

Even the antichrist will seek to change time, to interfere with the harvest, but will not succeed. He has no power to stop the harvests. Mans unbelief will not stop the harvest.

As the righteous are spoken of, and are full and ripe for the harvest, the other side, or the unrighteous are also full and ripe…..the only holding back is awaiting the fullness and ripening of the unrighteous.

Sin began just as a one time slip up, but it soon multiplied until the fullness occurred.

The day of the Lord has not yet begun, since the world has not yet experienced the “rebellion” and the “man of lawlessness,” both of which must precede the day of the Lord.

Although the lawless one is yet to come, “the mystery of lawlessness is already at work

Paul admits readily that the same forces of deception and lawlessness are already prevalent in society

We see it in 2020. The Church as a whole has accepted all manner of sin and filth. 

You can not tell the world from the church nor the church from the world. There is only a god of love preached, but the God of the Harvest will deal with these professors.

Look to:

2 Thessalonians 2:3-12

3. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?

6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.

7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.

8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:

9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Yes now, the Holy Spirit of God holds back.

     Even with the he holding back, look at how sin is peaking to heights unimaginable 

     Of any time of History.

Verse 15.  And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe. 

All of heaven is involved. All now know the time. All know the requirements of the separation.

These have been assigned and set aside for the ages, waiting for the time that the separation is to be.

These beings wait for their appointed times.

     There is no unbelief there. They patiently await the work they have been assigned by God.

They have waited patiently, knowing that the time would be at hand of the harvest.

Verse 16.  And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.

Verse 17. And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.

Verse 18.  And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.

This vine is not the church, not the righteous. These anointed scriptures  says the “vine of the earth”.  

Evil cannot slumber forever. Sin has a time of awakening. Sin has a progression that is unstoppable. “Let both grow together”.

Hypocrisy will tire of its meek, innocent demeanor.  It has become full and ripe for 

Harvests.

Once the fruit is ripened,  The harvest of sin will have to be reaped. 

Let not any man put his confidence in the blinding of one’s eyes,  or the  slowness of the processes of evil….the unseeing is working.

Men think they can control the danger of sin in their lives….but in the end, it rules them

Its full power is not yet revealed. But it will be revealed in that day,.

There are those who treat all sin with unbecoming levity, because they do not yet see its terrible fruits. 

They are playing with a biting adder, that may awake at any moment and inflict a fatal wound. 

No one knows what hidden possibilities of destruction hide and await ripening, in the “harmless” flirting of undeveloped sin. 

 Be assured on that day of reaping, the sin in their lives will start and it  will end up ripe and full on the day of Harvest.

Verse 19.  And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.

Verse 20. And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.

There will be room for all that are reaped in that day. There will be no lack of judgement. The wine press has plenty of room for all judgement.

Light and Lights in Genisis 1

Genesis Chapter 1

1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness

 was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God

 moved upon the face of the waters.

3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God

 divided the light from the darkness.

5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness 

he called Night. And the evening and the morning

 were the first day.

In the beginning, in verse 3, God created light.

It was on the fourth day that God created the Sun.....or “the larger light to rule the day”. 

There was something that God knew, that caused Him to seperate the earth from void and darkness that was spoken of in that beginning created and ruled by God. It was not the plan and purpose of God for this lack of light.

The Spirit of God moved or hovered over the earth without form and void, and the darkness. 

His Spirit moving,  was beginning the process of God’s will on earth, and it is clear, that void and darkness is not what God intended for the earth as a rule of fact.(Neither for the God follower )

How can it be that God created light on Day 1, but the sun, moon, and stars on day 4?

Where did that light come from if there was no Sun? 

Another question would be why?

Look in verses 3 and 4, the original word for light, has a specific meaning. This word does NOT mean an object that emits light.....like the sun or the moon or the stars, or a lamp. 

It is a light different from the light of the sun or moon or the light emitting objects our eyes can detect and see.

It is very possible, that the light spoken of in day 1 illuminates things the Spiritual sees and discerns....and is a signal of Good verses evil and goodness of God for man and the world.

In Scriptures, Light is used to symbolize God, faith or holiness.

     John 1:5.                    Isaiah 60:1.           1 John 1:5

     John 8:12.                  Psalms 27:1

     John 12:35-37.           Acts 13:47

     Luke 11:34-35.           Matthew 5:14

     1Peter 2:9.                 Daniel 2:22

     Rev 21:23.                 Luke 12:3            

     Ecclesiastes 2:13.     Ephesians 5:8

The light and darkness from this point do not mix......God’s order is set and settled. God’s purpose is done. A very important truth that we should not ignore nor forget. Keep it in light as we study Scriptures.

So the first light mentioned in Genisis, I believe carries a meaning of illumination to seperate light from dark, or spiritual  enlightenment is set by God and for that purpose. It is very well possible of a twofold purpose.

In order to eliminate void and darkness of the earth, a “light” was needed which can only be brought about by the Spirit of God, and that Spirit did move upon the face of the waters in Genisis.

In proper place, the Bible says God is “light” (1 John 1:5)

This word  or concept of light is closely associated with life and joy and good.  It also attaches a work of the Spirit of God.

In fact when we read about the 1st day notice, that it says God created the light, AND SAW THAT IT WAS GOOD 

Then this light was divided away from the darkness. Only the light is called “good”, the darkness is not. 

This light is not the sun nor the moon, but a light designed by God to perform the seperation of void and darkness.

A note also, We see the first mention of SEPERATION of God and by God.

It is no reasoning in our human minds,  It is the purpose and will of God and none other.  Serious Bible students will see and understand this move of God, and not seek to label these things as “conflicts”. Sadly many do see this as conflict.

Genisis 1:14-16 Now lets move down to verse 14 when it starts to talk about there being lights in the sky to divide day and night, and in verse 16 when God says he created the larger light (the sun) to rule the day and the smaller light (the moon) to rule the night. 

God has purpose for these lights. He says they are for signs, seasons, days, and years.  This light also gives light the eyes can see on the earth . 

So the Scriptures declare light in two places in the Genisis account of creation, but these were two different lights.

My only conclusion is that darkness was an unsatisfactory state to God. Otherwise God wouldn’t have created light. There would have been no need. This seperation is not accidentally configured that only a sun or moon can seperate it.

At the least darkness was apparently not capable of supporting life; and as we’ll find as we get into the later parts of Exodus and then Leviticus, things that go against, or inhibit, or terminate life are considered as against God.

 So  when God created “lights”, He created illumination and enlightenment, a basic requirement for life.

Note the difference in light of verse 3 and the lights in verse 14.

When God created “the lights”, He created objects that emit light waves. Light waves of a certain type that allow humans and animals to use their light sensors. (their eyes) and for plants to engage in their method of sustaining life, photosynthesis.

In the Book of Revelation we’re told that when God destroys the old earth, and then creates a new one, there will no longer be light emitting objects like a sun or moon) but instead God will be our light, our illumination

It is also good to note that in Zechariah 14:6-7, a light similar is put into place when the sun, the stars, and moon fall from the heavens and there is neither dark nor light.

It’s this same type of “godly light” that is being spoken of here in verses Genisis  3 and 4, but another kind is referred to in verses 14-16.

Note also that in a short time span, God is going to create beings on this earth, that need both types of light. In my thought, Adam had the “light” to make the decision of obedience or disobedience to God and therefore that available light or knowledge holds him accountable.

Conversely let’s look at the word “darkness”. This word is the opposite of illumination. It carries in it the sense of a lack of light. But also many places in the scriptures declare of use darkness to mean opposite of good and denotes evil

The word darkness  has a  meaning of  something that leads to death and destruction. This is not a word that is the opposite of day. It is not a word that describes the natural, and good, phenomenon of nighttime. 

It carries evil spiritual overtones with it.  So one word of darkness speaks  of Night,  which is simply the opposite of day. It is neutral; it carries no negative.

But also darkness can carry a negative value, to add also a dual meaning of that word darkness evil.

John 3:19-20              Romans 13:12

Matthew 6:23.            1 John 1:5-6

Luke 11:35.                1 John 2:9-11

Isaiah 29:15.               Psalms 82:5

Ephesians 5:11.          Ephesians 6:12

Proverbs 2:13.            Romans 1:21                        

2 Corinthians 6:14.     Ephesians 4:18

John 12:35.                 

(Just a few verses to substantiate the point)

So let us be clear: in verses 3 and 4 what God created was illumination and enlightenment of which HE was the source; but it was also divided and separated away from what was the opposite of those things: darkness, blindness and falsehood.

 What exactly was this illumination and enlightenment?

 It could well have been the essence of God that we call the Shekinah, or Shekinah glory; this mysterious illumination, or glory, of God (sometimes visible, sometimes not) that we read of in several places in the Bible. 

Exodus 13:21.          1 Kings 8:10-11

Exodus 40:34.          Revelation 21:23

Luke 2:9.                   Habakkuk 3:4

Isaiah 4:5.                 Revelation 21:11

(Just a few in the Scriptures)

The illumination that is suitable for us to see by, and apparently NOT necessary when the new earth is formed, will come from God Himself. 

While I cannot be sure I see no reason not to suggest that the light of Genesis that was in the 1st day of Creation is the same light that is in the 1st day of the NEW creation as revealed in Revelation 21 and 22 (you can go read it for yourself). 

And it is also interesting that the spiritual counterpart of light which is darkness, will be absent in the NEW creation. 

In its purest spiritual sense the, light is goodness and darkness is wickedness.

We’re told that in the new creation there will be ONLY good and wickedness will no longer exist.

 So  in the new creation we find the complete absence of darkness; instead there is only light. But as certain as I am that what I have told you is correct, I readily admit that there is some amount of speculation involved with it.
