The message of God's kingdom confronts all nations in the world throughout history. The prophetic message is that kingdom of the world will be transformed into the kingdom of God and His Son... Then the seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and with a loud voice broke forth in heaven saying: "The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our God and of His Anointed One! He will reign supreme for an eternity of eternities!" Revelation 11:15 (The Passion). Egypt had ruled the world for centuries, and then in the fullness of time, God came to confront, deliver, and judge. Saying the ten plagues were a week apart, within just a few months this huge and powerful empire was brought to its knees. (Read Exodus 12:12). This process of deliverence and judgment is and will cotinue in these end times. But the good news is God's love can bring us out of darkness into light! Those who are set apart and being delivered will become the 'one new man' ...a group of people called out of the evil empire of this world. These called-out-ones are serving to set up a new kingdom of love and truth! We as the people of God need to stand in and on faith living supernaturally under God's protection and provision! I believe the people of God will be revealed in special grace and glory as this "kingdom of love" unfolds and manifests.
Exodus 34:6 And the Lord passed before him and proclaimed, "The Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering , and abounding in goodness and truth... In this verse IS the disposition of Messiah. The early church used this important verse to judge prophecy and conduct in the church atmosphere. There were three elders who were in charge of hearing and deciding if what was said and done in that time was in the disposition of Messiah. In this very shaky and explosive time we are living in (exciting & wonderful time I might add) it would serve us well if we would write this verse on the tablet of our heart and in every circumstance, situation we find ourselves apply it rightly and justly. By doing this, we, as the body of Christ, will start looking like the "church" the public has never seen!!!
