THE REBIRTH OF A KINGDOM



Genesis chapter 3










Today we are walking in: The Rebirth Of A Kingdom!!!!!










Today we look to the word-BIRTH-H8435 towlĕdah --descendants, results, proceedings, generations, genealogies, account of men and their descendants, genealogical list of one's descendants, one's contemporaries, course of history (of creation etc), begetting or account of heaven












The Torah testifies...............





Genesis 25:33




And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright H8435 unto Jacob.













The prophets proclaim..................



Isaiah 66:9




Shall I bring to the birth H8435, and not cause to bring forth? saith the Lord: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? saith thy God.











The writings bear witness...........................



Ecclesiastes 6:3




If a man beget an hundred children, and live many years, so that the days of his years be many, and his soul be not filled with good, and also that he have no burial; I say, that an untimely birth H8435 is better than he.







The Rebirth of a Kingdom




The greatest motivation of the human Ruach is to control its environment.




The King’s goal was to cause his children to be integrated, set apart, and devoted to him—so that his Ruach could live within them once more. This would be the work of the Offspring, the one called the Messiah by the prophets. The Offspring was first mentioned in Genesis 3 and was revealed by the prophets Isaiah, Malachi, and others to be the King of heaven himself. While the First or Old Testament emphasizes the promise of the coming King, the New Testament reveals the rebirth of the kingdom on earth through his arrival.




The rebirth of the kingdom signified the recolonization of earth. Recolonization is unheard of in human history, or is at least very rare. Once a people declare independence, they don’t go back to the home country. The plan that the King was unfolding was therefore unprecedented.




The Birth of the King on Earth




The King, of course, needed to remain in the heavenly kingdom as its ruler and sustainer. At the same time, he had to come to earth to provide for the return of the Governor. The Ruach of the King was directly involved in his coming to earth. Luke the physician, the writer of the gospel bearing his name, wrote,




Yah sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendent of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Most High is with you.” Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with Yah.”




The angel’s statement, “You have found favor with Yah,” shows us that Mary was yielded to the heavenly government and the purposes of the King, and this is why she was chosen for this crucial assignment in the intervention of the heavenly kingdom on earth. The angel continued,




You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Yahusha. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Most High Yah will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdom will never end. “How will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?” The angel answered, “The Ruach HaQadesh will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of Yah....For nothing is impossible with Yah.” “I am the Most High’s servant,” Mary answered. “May it be to me as you have said.”




Again, we see evidence of Mary’s submission to the heavenly government: “I am the Most High’s servant....May it be to me as you have said.”




In this passage is a fact of vital significance: the Ruach conceived Yah the Son or the King-Son, whose earthly name was Yahusha, in the womb of Mary. Mary was what we might call a surrogate mother for the eternal and invisible Yah’s entrance into the physical world as a human being. Also, the King-Son was filled with the Ruach when he was conceived. This means that the Governor returned to earth at this time within the person of Yahusha. The Governor was resident in the body of Yahusha until the rest of humanity could be prepared to receive him as well, through Yahusha’ provision. At that time, the King-Son would reappoint the Governor to the earth in order to restore kingdom influence throughout the world and to give back kingdom citizenship to humanity.




The King-Son was both fully divine (as Yah the Son) and fully human (as the man Yahusha). Yet he was not infected by the rebellious nature of humanity. The womb of a woman is designed in such a way that the blood of a mother and her unborn child never mix. Yahusha’ blood was pure; his life was pure. As we read in the third book of Moses, “The life of every creature is its blood.” Like Adam before the rebellion, Yahusha and everything about him was set apart and devoted to the King-Father.




The Governor Gave the King so the King Could Give the Governor




The King-Son had to be born of the Ruach and filled with the Ruach, so that he could deliver the Governor to the people of earth in fulfillment of the promise. John the Baptist announced to the world the arrival of the King-Son who would restore the Ruach, and he said about Yahusha, “The one who comes from heaven is above all....For the one whom Yah has sent speaks the words of Yah, for Yah gives the Ruach without limit [to him],” and “He will baptize you with the Ruach HaQadesh and with fire.” Yahusha told his disciples,




If you love me, you will obey what I command. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever—the Ruach of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.




Therefore, the Governor gave the King-Son to the earth so the King-Son could send the Governor to the earth after he returned to the heavenly kingdom. They worked in harmony to achieve this ultimate purpose.




The King-Son Was Completely Filled with the Governor




The King-Son not only was filled with the Ruach at his conception, but he also continued to be filled with the Ruach throughout his entire lifetime. As John the Baptist said, “Yah gives the Ruach without limit [to him].” This was the first time a human being was filled with the Ruach HaQadesh since before the rebellion of Adam and Eve. The Ruach HaQadesh within Yahusha was limitless in presence and power.




In preparation for the King’s appearance on earth, John had been baptizing people who desired to be realigned with the kingdom. Then, just before Yahusha began his public ministry, he also went to John for baptism.




The next day John saw Yahusha coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of Yah, who takes away the sin of the world! This is the one I meant when I said, ‘A man who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.’ I myself did not know him, but the reason I came baptizing with water was that he might be revealed to Israel.” Then John gave this testimony: “I saw the Ruach come down from heaven as a dove and remain on him. I would not have known him, except that the one who sent me to baptize with water told me, ‘The man on whom you see the Ruach come down and remain is he who will baptize with the Ruach HaQadesh.’ I have seen and I testify that this is the Son of Yah.”




John made these declarations about Yahusha: (1) he was the one who would take away the sin of the world (making it possible for the citizens to be fully aligned with the heavenly kingdom); (2) the Ruach came down from heaven and remained on him (Yahusha had the total sanction of the King-Father); and (3) he was the Son of Yah (he came directly from the King-Father and was one with him). Paul wrote, “In Hamachiach all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form.” Yah the Father, Yah the Son, and Yah the Ruach are one. The King expresses himself in three unique dimensions, which he revealed in the plan to restore humanity.




Yahusha therefore possesses a dual nature—he is fully Yah and fully human. Yah the Father is the King, and Yahusha Hamachiach is the King who came in human form. The New Testament book of John says, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Yah, and the Word was Yah.” Yet the King’s coming as a man wasn’t just a convenient way in which to coordinate his rule on both heaven and earth. His mission was to restore holiness to men and women so they could again be a suitable environment for the Ruach HaQadesh to dwell in. As we will see, the only way he could do this was to become a human being himself.




The Era of the King on Earth




In the previous teaching, I stated that Yahusha began his public ministry by saying, “The time has come....The kingdom of Yah is near,” and I posed these questions:




√ What “time” was he speaking about? And why then?




√ What was the nature of the kingdom he was referring to?




The “time” was the “day of the Most High,” or the era when the King-Son would come to earth to restore the Governor to humanity. The purpose and nature of the kingdom was (1) the reconciliation of the earth’s inhabitants to the King-Father, so that it was possible once more for human beings to be his children, and (2) the reign of heaven returning to earth through the Governor’s presence and power operating in the lives of the King’s children.




The inhabitants of the colony of earth had been ransacking the King’s territory—stealing, lying, abusing, killing one another, living their lives outside the nature of the kingdom. Therefore, as the Son and heir of the King of heaven, Yahusha was coming to reclaim his Father’s territory. His arrival on earth marked “the day of the Most High” prophesied by Joel.




The King-Son came to reclaim his Father’s property two thousand years ago as a baby born in Bethlehem. Yahusha being born is not about a beggar coming; it’s about an owner arriving. He came to reclaim the earth because, as the psalmist David, king of Israel, wrote, “The earth is the Most High’s, and everything in it.” He came to recover all of creation as its legal owner.




The King-Son didn’t come to earth to plead with HaSatan to return his property. He treated him as a thief, saying, “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” He also said, “How can one enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? And then he will plunder his house.” The King-Son came to bind the strongman, HaSatan, so he could retake the house and give it back to the children of the household. Therefore, the man Yahusha was the fulfillment of the King-Father’s remarkable plan to send his Son to earth to restore the heavenly government here.




Paul called Yahusha the “last” or Second Adam. The King-Son came to fulfill what the first Adam had failed to do. He lived a life in total harmony with the King-Father, his kingdom, and the kingdom’s purposes on earth. Yahusha taught his disciples to pray, “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.”




As the Second Adam, Yahusha came to rescue us from being dominated by the kingdom of darkness led by HaSatan and to restore us to the home kingdom. He went through his life and death on earth so we could be reconciled to the King as his children.




Through Yahusha, human beings can be restored as vice governors in the world, earthly kings who rule under the direction of the Ruach of the King—the Royal Governor. The kingdom of heaven is therefore a family of kings. This is what the nation of Israel was meant to demonstrate as a prototype: “a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.” Although the Governor is equal to the King-Father and the King-Son, the Scriptures never refer to him as a King in relation to humanity, but as our Counselor or Comforter. This is because his role is to sustain and perpetuate the will and work of the heavenly kingdom in the lives of the inhabitants of earth.
