The Daily Word of Righteousness
First Corinthians, Fifteen, #13
Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. (I Corinthians 15:24-26)
The Lord Jesus is subject to the Father. Jesus is waiting until all of His enemies have been made His footstool. When His enemies have been completely subdued, then Christ shall give the Kingdom to the Father and He Himself will be subject to the Father. If the Lord Jesus did not do this then He, like Satan, would be in rebellion against the Father.
No person ever will be given back his physical body until every enemy of his personality has been defeated by the Lord Jesus. Physical death is the last enemy to be destroyed from our personality.
The type of Joshua and Israel standing at the entrance to the land of promise is a picture of the Church of today. Joshua is the Lord Jesus as the Commander of battle leading the army of saints. Canaan portrays resurrection ground. Israel represents the Church. The two spies speak of those who today are pressing forward to the fullness of God. The people of Jericho symbolize the world. Rahab shows us that there will be people in the last days who will assist the saints and who will be rewarded with salvation.
Our land of promise is an immortal body filled with the fullness of God, living in an environment from which the curse has been lifted and now is filled with the Presence and Glory of God.
Our land of promise is inhabited in the present hour by demons and fallen angels. They must be driven out. The Lord will not drive them out by Himself. He will help us, as He helped Israel, but we must drive them out.
The Church has never been here before. We must keep our eyes fastened on the Lord Jesus every minute and meditate constantly in the Scriptures. We live in marvelous times. Both sin and righteousness are coming to maturity. God is facing Satan. Christ is facing Antichrist. The Holy Spirit is facing the False Prophet, the spirit of religious delusion.
Every enemy shall be trampled under the feet of the Church. The last enemy to be destroyed will be physical death.
The Kingdom is the rule of God over an earth in which sin has been abolished. The Lord Jesus must rule until every other rule, authority, and power has been conquered. Then the Son will present the Kingdom to the Father.
For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith, all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him. And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all. (I Corinthians 15:27,28)
God is putting everything under the feet of the Lord Jesus, Jesus being representative Man.
Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet: (Psalms 8:6)
