The Daily Word of Righteousness
Three Aspects of God's Eternal Plan, #9
Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him. (Psalms 2:10-12)
The advocates of Reconstructionism will fail and they may bring needless, violent persecution on all Christians living in the United States.
The "kingdom-now" movement will pass away because of the catastrophes that soon are to fall on the nations, unless God permits Satan to breathe into this concept the spirit of the False Prophet, making it the great helper of Antichrist.
The fact remains, however, that all the nations of saved peoples of the earth eventually will be brought under submission to the only true King. It is not just the Church, the Body of Christ, which is to be brought under submission to Jesus, but all the nations of the saved also are to obey Him. They are to be baptized. They are to practice the teachings of Jesus even though the Spirit does not draw them into the mysteries of the Bride.
The nation that refuses to bow the knee to Christ will be crushed by Him at His appearing and His Kingdom. The Lord Jesus will rule with a rod of iron.
The nations are to be baptized into the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. This brings them into the Courtyard of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, to speak in a figure. Through water baptism the members of the nations come out from the authority of Satan and place themselves under the jurisdiction of the Kingdom of God. If a nation refuses to submit itself to the jurisdiction of the Kingdom of God it will be destroyed by Divine wrath.
One reason the nations do not obey God is that the churches are not obeying God.
The nations are to hear the Divine Word concerning the soon coming of the Kingdom of God to the earth. This will happen in the last days during the prophecy that will be given by the two witnesses.
Notice the charge that the Spirit of God gives the two witnesses:
And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings. (Revelation 10:11)
The prophecy of the two witnesses (the Lord working with Christ-filled saints) that will be given during the last days is a prophecy to the nations; not to the churches but to "many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings." The latter-rain prophecy of the last days is not to the Church, the Body of Christ, in order to build up the Body. Rather, it is a witness to all nations of the soon coming of the true King—Christ.
The people of the Gentile nations are to be baptized and to keep the commandments of the Lord. The person who will not receive the prophecy but who attempts to harm the saints will be killed.
And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed. (Revelation 11:5)
The saints are being built up now in preparation for the end-time witness that is to be given. When the prophecy comes it will be to the nations.
It is the Lord's will that the nations obey His laws as they are given through the apostles of His Church.
For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish; yea, those nations shall be utterly wasted. (Isaiah 60:12)
It is a humanistic concept that nations of the earth can "give" the saints "freedom of religion." The saints own, through Christ, every nation as well as all the natural resources of the earth.
