The Most High's Original Intent for Man!!!!

Psalms 138 

We are walking in today: The Most High's Original Intent for Man!!!!

 Psalms 138:2-3
2 I bow down toward your holy temple and give thanks to your name for your grace and truth; for you have made your word [even] greater than the whole of your reputation. 3 When I called, you answered me, you made me bold and strong.

REDISCOVERING THE KINGDOM CONCEPT

The message of the Bible is primarily and obviously about a Kingdom. If you do not understand kingdoms, it is impossible for you to understand the Bible and its message. However, over the past 2,000 years the true concept of kingdom has been lost, especially since the advent of modern governments built on new concepts of governing, e.g., democracy, socialism, communism, and dictatorships.

While it is true that many kingdoms have dark histories of atrocities and oppression, prospering at the expense of the dignity and value of their citizens, the original concept of kingdom as introduced by Elohim Himself, stands alone as the perfect prototype of government built on righteous judgment. All the kingdoms of the earth were mere attempts to imitate this perfect Kingdom.

Yeshua came to earth to restore what Adam lost, and He brought a kingdom message. Yeshua came to reestablish the government of God on earth and to reinstate His earthly kings to their rightful place of dominion. Adam lost a kingdom, not a religion, and therefore the redemptive work of the Creator would be the reestablishment of His Kingdom on earth.

WHAT IS A KINGDOM?

The Kingdom of God, according to Yeshua, also possesses these components. Here are some you will need to know in order to  understand the concepts of Scripture.

All kingdoms have:

• A King and Lord – a sovereign; The King is the embodiment of the kingdom, representing its glory and nature. Authority flows from the king and the word of the king is supreme

• A Territory – a domain; The Territory is the domain over which the king exercises total authority.

Psalm 24:1 The earth is Adonai’s, with all that is in it, the world and those who live there;

• A Constitution – a royal covenant; The Constitution is the covenant of a king with his citizenry and expresses the mind and will of the king for his citizens and the kingdom.

• A Citizenry – community of subjects; The Citizenry is the people that live under the rule of the king. Citizenship in a kingdom is not a right, but a privilege, and is a result of the king’s choice.

Matthew 6:33 But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

• Law – acceptable principles; The Law constitutes the standards and principles established by the king himself, by which his kingdom will function and be administered.

• Privileges – rights and benefits; The Privileges are the benefits the king lavishes on his faithful citizens.

• A Code of Ethics – acceptable lifestyle and conduct; A Code of Ethics is the acceptable conduct of the citizens in the kingdom and their representation of the kingdom.

• An Army – security; and, The Army is the kingdom’s system of securing its territory and protecting its citizens. A careful study of the biblical constitution of the word will show that the Church, as Yeshua established it, is not identified as an army but rather a citizenship, a family of sons and a nation.

Psalm 78:49-50
He unleashed against them His hot anger, His wrath, Indignation and hostility—a band of destroying angels

Psalm 103:20-21
Praise the Lord, you His angels, you mighty ones who do His bidding, who obey His word. Praise the Lord, all His heavenly hosts, you His servants who do His will

Matthew 13:40-42
So it will be at the end of the age. The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will weed out of His Kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. They will throw them into the fiery furnace, Where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

• A Commonwealth – economic security;
A Commonwealth is the economic system of a kingdom which guarantees each citizen equal access to financial security. In a kingdom, the term commonwealth is used because the king’s desire is that all his citizen’s share and benefit from the wealth of the kingdom. The kingdom’s glory is in the happiness and health of its citizens.

• A Social Culture – protocol and procedures.
The Social Culture is the environment created by the life and manners of the king and his citizens. This is the cultural aspect that separates and distinguishes the kingdom from all others around it. It is the culture that expresses the nature of the king, through the lifestyle of his citizens.

KINGDOM COMPONENTS

All kingdoms, including the Kingdom of God, have:

• A Health program – healing;

• An Education program – Teaching ministry of the Holy Spirit;

• A Taxation system – Tithing;

• A central Communication system – Gifts of the Spirit;

• A Diplomatic Corps - Ambassadors of Christ;

• A System of Administration – the Ministration of the Spirit through mankind called the Church;

• An Economy – a system of Giving and Receiving (seed time and harvest time).

MISUNDERSTANDING THE MESSAGE AND THE METHOD

The greatest danger in life is the misconstruing of a concept. A careful study of the promise will show that the promise was made “to” the nations “through” Abraham.

Abraham had a son of promise as promised, Isaac, who had two sons named Jacob and Esau. Jacob was chosen by God to be the line for the seed of the messiah king and his name was changed by God Himself to Israel, which means “prince with God.”

The Hebrews or Israelites were reminded of the promise from generation to generation, that the Messiah king would come and through Him all the nations of the earth would be blessed. However, they as a people misunderstood the promise and made themselves the object of the promise rather than the conduit. God had promised Abraham that the Messiah would come through his seed to redeem the world, but the Israelites used the choice of their line as a distinguishing factor to separate themselves from the very people they were to serve.

They developed a self-centered religion that condemned the world to which they were appointed to deliver the Redeemer, rather than God’s intention of a Kingdom of heaven on earth. Israel became the masters of misinformation. This error has left scars throughout history and continues to feed the remnant of Judaism today. This is where the great religion of Judaism was born, causing the reactionary development of many other religions of today. Over the past 3,000 years, the message of the Kingdom was gradually buried in the graveyard of religion.

THE PROMISE OF KINGDOM REDISCOVERY

The Old Testament is earth’s file of heaven’s record of the promise of the coming of the King and the Kingdom.

The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your own brothers. You must listen to Him (Deuteronomy 18:15)

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on His shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David’s throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the Lord Almighty will accomplish this (Isaiah 9:6-7).

So he told me and gave me the interpretation of these things: “The four great beasts are four kingdoms that will rise from the earth. But the saints of the Most High will receive the kingdom and will possess it forever—yes, for ever and ever” (Daniel. 7:16-18).

So we see that the restoration plan of God was in motion from its earliest announcement to the adversary in Genesis, chapter 3. The prophecy stated that He would come and prepare the people for the entrance of the King and the Kingdom.

PREPARING FOR THE KING

Ten generations after Noah, God spoke to Abram, a descendant of Noah’s son Shem. God revealed Himself to Abraham and made a covenant with him that would make of him a great nation.

Isaac had two sons, Esau and Jacob. God appeared to Jacob and said, “I will make of you a great nation. Your name will now be Israel.” Israel had 12 sons, who were the fathers of the 12 tribes of the nation of Israel. God was working toward His model.

Through Moses, He delivered the Israelites from slavery in Egypt, brought them into the desert, and told them, “You will be My people and I will be your God. I will lead you into the land I promised your forefathers.” In other words, He was saying, “I will be your King and you will be My Kingdom.” After a while, however, the people of Israel got tired of a God they could not see and longed for a king they could see. God never desired for them to have an earthly king.

Shema Selah let us rediscover the kingdom that we have hidden in the grave of religion!!!
