There are many passages of the Scriptures pointing toward the rulership of the saints over the world. But the above verse declares the coming authority and power of the saints in such incredible terms it cannot be .:

Revelation 3:21 indeed is a fantastic promise. The throne of Christ is exalted to such a height that were we to behold it we would vanish into obscurity. We simply cannot comprehend such authority and power.

Each of God's elect should go out at night from time to time and contemplate the grandeur of the physical universe. The sizes and distances we can observe in the firmament are so incredibly vast our minds can only speculate on them. In no manner are we able to grasp an expression of energy, mass, and space of this magnitude.

When we consider that Christ spoke the firmament into existence we are left in a mental spin. We cannot imagine the exercise of such power.

The throne on which the Lord Jesus sits governs all angels, all people, all energy and mass, all time, all life, all death, all things past, present, and future. The throne of Christ represents total authority, total power, total glory on a scale so stupendous that mankind is seen as the merest speck of dust on a mountain several billion miles high and wide.

It is well for us that it is a Man sitting on the high throne and not an angel!

Marvel of all marvels, God's victorious saints are destined to share the throne of thrones with the King.

The thousand-year period is the day of image and union, the period of the restoration of all things spoken by the Hebrew Prophets. It is the day of the fulfillment of what was originally spoken to man by the Lord God who created him.

Total image. Total union. Total fruitfulness. Total dominion.

Now we have six days moving forward simultaneously, proceeding toward the attainment of all the Lord God, the Father, has purposed in Christ:

The day of unveiling continues as all God has promised comes into being.

The day of separation proceeds as the elect emerge as the rulers of the nations of the saved, and as the saints leave their animal nature completely and live in God.

The day of dry ground brings increasing strength of righteous behavior to all of God's Israel, and to the members of the nations of the saved as they are ministered to by the royal priesthood.

The day of light reveals the oneness of the Father and the Son, and the Divine love brings the saints into that oneness. The Father and the Son dwell in the believer in fulfillment of the feast of Tabernacles.

The day of life yields an outpouring of Divine Life on the earth that will continue until the waves of resurrection glory cover the multitudes of the saved as the waters cover the sea.

To be continued.
