Title: The Demonstration of the Coming Reign and Rule of Christ

By: Daniel Peter

The seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, which said: “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah, and he will reign for ever and ever. Revelation 11:15 NIV

The entire redemption plan of God is aimed at restoration man as king over God’s creation. There are aspects of this plan that has been fulfilled, while others are still to be fulfilled, though their basis have been accomplished by the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Gaining insight into the dispensation we are as it relates to the entire restoration process is therefore worthwhile.

Earth was created as a parallel of heaven. Despite man is tripartite in nature and could simultaneously function in both the spiritual and physical world, His dominion was earthly (physical). He was to rule over all on sea and land as stipulated by God’s decree in Genesis 1:26. At his fall, man did lose the right to operate as king on the earth, and that right was passed on to the devil (Luke 4:5). The devil is a spirit entity and has no physical body to operate on earth. Therefore, the only way the devil could rule on the earth is by making man his subject (enslaving him to his desires). This meant, the fallen man could only do the will of the devil, as every imganination of his heart became evil from his youth (Gen. 6:5).

Several kingdoms have appeared on the earth since the fall of man. Though these kingdom seem to be headed by men in the natural, their principles of operation have been sponsored by the devil, giving expression to the kingdom of darkness on the earth. One of such human leaders was Nebuchadnezzar. At a point in his reign, God decided to show him the kingdoms to come when desired to know in His mind (Daniel 2). The dream and it’s interpretation by Daniel revealed the kingdoms that would be, which included the reign of Christ (the God man). One thing we should know about the kingdoms mentioned in that vision was that each were earthly Kingdoms (physically manifest), and they had authority over all nations (Jer. 27:6). And this is also true for the kingdom of God, which was represented by the stone that crushed the other kingdoms and stood in their place (Dan. 2:34).

By His victory over the devil, Jesus Christ regained the right to rule and reign on the earth from the devil on behalf of mankind, and this right He has voluntary passed down to all who believe in Him. This was indicated by the power and authority He has given to us (Luke 10:19). The first place of restoration of the Kingdom was in the spirit, for He said “the kingdom of God is within you (Luke 17:21)”. But the goal of God is to make that Kingdom within us (in the spirit realm) manifest in the natural , just as the kingdoms in Nebuchadnezzar’s vision were all physical (naturally present). This process will be said to be accomplished when Jesus Christ returns, physically, to rule the nation’s from Jerusalem in what is called the millennial reign of christ (Rev. 20). Before His return, His rule and reign must be demonstrated as a witness to the nations of what is to come.

Revelation 12 spoke of a woman who gave birth to a child that is to rule all nations with an iron rod. This woman is symbolic of the Church and the child represent a generation of Christians who will be entrusted with the mantle of the earth, to rule the nations of the world. These people will ascend to the highest office in their nations, to rule on behalf of Christ. Their reign will be a sign of the coming reign and rule of Christ in the natural realm, and by them the Gospel of the Kingdom will be testified to (will be evident), ushering in the time of the end (Matt. 24:14). This is what the Lord is doing now, and he or she that has an ear to hear, let them hear.

Prayer Point:

Let’s thank God for His word today. Let’s ask Him to give us insight into the kingdom and His plans for the generations. Again, we should ask Him to make us worthy vessels for His use.
