We are walking in today:  The Governor Is Preparing You For Citizenship!!!!!

Witness prepare throughout the Bible: H3559 kuwn--to be established, be stable, be secure, be enduring, to be fixed, be securely determined

Psalm 103:19 The LORD hath prepared H3559 his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.

The Torah testifies...............
 Exodus 23:20 Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared. H3559

The prophets proclaim..................
  Jeremiah 51:12 Set up the standard upon the walls of Babylon, make the watch strong, set up the watchmen, prepare H3559 the ambushes: for the LORD hath both devised and done that which he

 1 Chronicles 15:12 And said unto them, Ye are the chief of the fathers of the Levites: sanctify yourselves, both ye and your brethren, that ye may bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel unto
the place that I have prepared H3559 for it.

Job 28:27
Then did he see it, and declare it; he prepared H3559 it, yea, and searched it out.

The Adamic Administration
The principle and purpose of delegated authority is accountability and responsibility.

The first government on earth came from a kingdom outside it. The world was governed in a way similar to the colonies we have been looking at. Yet the transcendent kingdom had significant differences:
√ The territory of earth was created by the home country rather than taken by force. It was not anyone else’s possession beforehand.
√ There were no inhabitants on earth at first, which was designed with them in mind; it was specifically prepared for those who would live here.
√ The original inhabitants were not of a different culture from the home country but were actually the offspring of the King himself.
The similarities are these:
√ The home country desired to expand the realm of its influence by bringing the nature, mind-set, and purposes of the kingdom to the colony of earth.
√ The King’s Governor was present in the colony to oversee the transformation process. He was to guide the King’s children—his local governors—who were to convert the colony into a replica of the kingdom. Let’s take a closer look at the creation of this colony of earth.
The Original Government
The first book of Moses begins with these words: “In the beginning God [the Creator-King] created the heavens and the earth [the physical universe].” The Creator-King is described by first-century theologian Paul of Tarsus as “the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see.” The eternal King of an unseen kingdom conceptualized and made the entire physical universe. By creation rights, it is his property. It would be impossible to grasp the vastness of the unseen kingdom that encompasses our universe—especially when we consider that the physical realm in which the earth exists is too immense for us to comprehend. Our universe is so enormous that we’re still trying to find out where it ends. Astronomers have discovered billions (some say up to 200 billion) of galaxies in the observable universe. It is estimated By creation rights, the physical universe is the property of the Creator-King. That each of these galaxies has tens or hundreds of billions of stars. Multiply billions of galaxies by billions of stars in each galaxy and you have a staggering number of stars in the universe. If these sheer numbers were not enough to astound us, consider the way they are held together. As NASA records, Almost every object in space orbits around something. The planets orbit the Sun; our Moon and the moons of other planets orbit their planets; comets orbit the Sun....Even the Sun is orbiting around the center of our galaxy....An orbit is the result of a precise balance between the forward motion of an object in space (such as a planet or moon) and the pull of gravity from the body it orbits. An object in motion will stay in motion unless something pushes or pulls on it. This is Isaac Newton’s First Law of Motion. Without gravity, an Earth-orbiting satellite would go off into space along a straight line. With gravity, it is pulled back toward the Earth. There is a continuous tug-of-war between the one object’s tendency to move in a straight line and the tug of gravity pulling it back. The universe exists in remarkable balance. This is why the Scripture says, in essence, that only a fool thinks, Nobody is keeping this universe in order. Clearly, an orderly government of vast ability and power maintains our universe.
Expanding the Invisible Kingdom
One of the New Testament writers said, “The universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.” The King of the invisible world decided to create a physical world. He did this for the purpose of expanding his heavenly domain as an extension of him-self and his government. He created the physical universe so there would be additional territory to rule and to transform into the expression of his nature and desires. Returning to our definition of kingdom, we can say that the invisible kingdom is the governing influence of God over the territory of earth, impacting and influencing it with his will, his purpose, and his intent. Heaven is God’s kingdom or home country, and earth is his colony.We see various types of governing influence in our every-day human experience, not just in a political context:
√ An artist extends the domain of his mind and heart by expressing himself in physical paintings or sculptures, which can have an impact on those who view them.
√ A writer expresses the vision of his inner world through the printed word, and these words can influence the thoughts and attitudes of those who read them.
√ A businessman transforms his entrepreneurial concepts into specific companies that reflect his personal philosophy and provide new products and services that change the way others live. All these are examples of individuals enlarging their personal influence in the world. What people create, express, or build is usually a reflection of their personalities and outlook. Therefore, as we look at the Creator-King’s desire to extend the influence of the invisible kingdom to earth, it is natural for us to want to know the nature of this King and his kingdom. What influence did he want to bring to earth?
The Nature of the King: A Perfect Government
The nature of the invisible kingdom becomes especially significant when we learn that the inhabitants of earth are to have this very nature themselves. The first book of Moses records these words of the Creator-King:“Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule [“have dominion”] over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.Human beings were not made as machines or as beings with no direct relationship to the Creator. They were drawn out of his own person: “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule...over all the earth.”After creating the universe by his own divine prerogative, the Creator chose one planet amid all the planets of the universe as the practical and unique extension of his influence—earth. Then he extended rulership of earth to those made in his own image, his royal “children.”The original Hebrew word for “image,” selem, “means ‘image’ in the sense of essential nature.”  The Hebrew word for likeness is demuth, which “signifies the original after which a thing is patterned.” These words define and describe our design, capacity, potential, and value as human beings made to reflect the person-hood of our Creator.The nature of our Creator-King was recorded by Moses as “the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness.” The only way a kingdom can function perfectly is if it is ruled by a perfect king who will not betray his citizens through corruption or oppression. If he does, he is not a true king but a tyrant and dictator. Since a king is the source and owner of everyone and everything in his kingdom, the key to a true kingdom is benevolence. A perfect government does not exist for itself; it exists for its citizens.
 Shema selah we have to return to the original intent of the Most High, a King placing a colony of Heaven here on the Earth for His appointed citizens to operate on Earth as it is in Heaven!!
