The Daily Word of Righteousness
Two Current Issues, #10
Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn. "Lift up your eyes and look about you: All assemble and come to you; your sons come from afar, and your daughters are carried on the arm. Then you will look and be radiant, your heart will throb and swell with joy; the wealth on the seas will be brought to you, to you the riches of the nations will come." (Isaiah 60:3-5—NIV)
After the influence of Satan has been driven from the earth, the peoples who have been saved from destruction must be governed with the rod of iron of the Spirit of God, and also taught the righteous ways of the Lord. The governing and the teaching will be conducted by the members of the Body of Christ.
The Lord's true saints know well how the Lord deals with us endlessly, day and night, night and day. Every thought, every word, every action is scrutinized. We are perplexed. We are cast down. We are persecuted. We are frustrated. We are made weak. Our most intense desires are set aside—perhaps for our lifetime on earth.
Situations other people take in stride are not permitted to us. We must exercise endless patience if we are to endure to the end.
All of this chastening and instruction are for the benefit of other people—perhaps for multitudes yet unborn. God is making us His eternal dwelling place, His chariot, His voice and hands reaching out to those who have been saved from wrath.
To sum up all we have been saying: We of the Christian churches of today are being prepared for the Lord's return. We are not ready as yet to rise to meet Him in the air and then return to earth to govern and teach the nations. But those who are hearing the voice of the Spirit are pressing into the new realms of grace that are available in the present hour.
The Body of Christ must be constructed and the eternal moral law of God must be engraved in our minds and hearts.
The members of the Body must learn spiritual warfare so we can bring the eternal moral law of God into the earth in order that the peoples thereof may dwell in righteousness, peace, and joy. This is the Kingdom of God.
The Kingdom of God is soon to come to the earth. The Kingdom of God consists of Jesus Christ and those who are an integral part of Him, those whose life He is.
When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. (Colossians 3:4—NIV)
The nations of today are being destroyed by Satan-inspired people. The political leaders are willing to sacrifice the lives and welfare of their citizens in order that they might gain their own desires. The rich amass their wealth and ignore the needs around them. Some people have more food than they can eat while multitudes are starving. Injustice abounds.
It is the responsibility of the pastors, elders, and other leaders of the Christian churches to work with the believers until they are filled with the Lord Jesus Christ and ready to appear with Him that justice and peace might be brought to the nations.
