Rulership in the Third Heaven.
The Body of Christ are the Overcomers.
`To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.` (Rev. 3: 21)
The Lord`s seat of power and authority, His throne has been set up in the third heaven. There He will be visible for us to see and relate to.
The Body of Christ will have New Bodies.
`...we shall be changed - for this corruptible must put on incorruption,
Rulership on the New Earth.
Israel ruling over the Nations under Christ`s Authority.
God says to King David - `Your house and your kingdom shall be established for ever before Me. Your throne shall be established forever.` (2 Sam. 7: 16)
Israel was created by God as the nation to rule the other nations of the world. Even though they rebelled against God there would be those who bowed before Him. These are the ones in Israel who will go onto the New Earth and rule under t
JUDGMENT - The Great White Throne.
Universal Heaven and Earth are No More.
`But the Day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.` (2 Peter 3: 10)
The Day of the Lord starts with the tribulation and continues through the millennium. Finally after Satan`s last battle he is cast into the lake of fire. (Rev. 2
Restoring Rulership over Israel.
Christ brings all Rule under His Authority in the Millennium.
The Lord Jesus Christ, the supreme Ruler of all God`s great kingdom will put down all rule and authority in the tribulation and then on into the millennium. This period of time is for Israel to learn rulership under the Lord and to show that mankind is still rebellious even after Satan is locked up.
`For He (Christ) must reign till He has put all enemies under His feet.` (1 Cor. 1

Restoring Rulership over Israel.
Judgment of the Nations.
After the Lord and His angel army have dealt with the world`s armies, and the anti-Christ and false prophet, He judges the peoples of the nations. Those people who did not look after the Jews during the tribulation will be taken away in judgment. (Matt. 25: 44 & 45 Luke 17: 34 - 37)
`When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. All the nat
Rulership in the Universe.
After the Great White Throne judgment, God makes all things new - the New Heavens and New Earth. The earth is made New, perfect, and the Universal heavens are also made New, perfect. Each of these realms will have God`s righteous rulership under Christ.
The government of the Universal realm has been prepared in the general assembly awaiting its place in God`s great kingdom, the city, the New Jerusalem. (Heb. 12: 22)
The City - the Bride.

Jerusalem surrounded.
Amid the calamities of the tribulation, God destroys the capital of the world, the city of Babylon. In defiance of God, the Global Leader sets about to annihilate God`s people, Israel. The armies of the world are gathered together in the plain of Armageddon, north of Israel. (Rev. 16: 14 & 16)
They organise a full sweep of the land and exterminate every Israeli enroute as they head for Jerusalem. Finally t

Judgment upon the World.
The Body of Christ is then seated with power and authority for they are the heavenly court that takes place in this judgment. The Lord Jesus Christ then takes the Scroll, the legal document with 7 seals. It is an overview of the judgments upon - the 4 Federations, symbolised by the 4 horsemen; those who killed the martyrs: and those who didn`t help the Jews. (Matt. 25: 45)

Restoring Rulership in the Third Heaven.
Jesus Christ is visibly crowned.
The first realm of God`s rulership to be restored is in the third heaven, the angelic realm where Lucifer was cast out. There has been no visible rulership since then. God the Father has appointed His Son to be the Kingpriest, the visible ruler there. It is called Mount Zion, representing rulership, and is in the highest realm.
God says, `I have set My King on My holy hill of Zion.` (Ps. 2: 6)

The Body of Christ is Expectant.
The believers are waiting eagerly, looking expectantly for the coming for the Lord. This is a very important attitude as many will be too busy about their earthly cares and material possessions.
`To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time,..`(Heb. 9: 28)
`...exhorting one another and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.` (Heb. 10: 25)

When Jesus Christ ascended to the Father`s right hand, the Father said -
“Sit at My right hand, till I make Your enemies Your footstool.” (Ps. 110: 1)
The Nations.
The Roman Empire eventually broke into many tribal groups that fought over the centuries. Finally nations emerged till today we see three great Federations that are forming into the final Gentile Global Government. A fourth Federation is emerging that will control the othe
Man, the Unworthy Ruler.
Creation of Man.
God created man and gave him dominion over the earth. Although man walked with God he was vulnerable, having freedom of will. Then when tempted, man chose to believe the lie of the enemy and came under the sway of Satan.
Satan holds sway over man.
Satan and his fallen angels then operate and rule over man as the Prince of the Power of the air and rulers of darkness.
` ...the prince of the power of the air,....(Eph. 2: 2)

Christ, the Worthy Sacrifice.
From Heaven to Earth He came,
Into the midst of rebellion, conflict and the devastation of this sin-ravaged world, stepped the Son of God. He came from the angelic realm where myriads and myriads of angelic beings bowed before Him and did His bidding. He was King of Heaven. The angels rejoiced at creation when He made all things `good,` and are amazed that He would humble Himself to become a man.
So, did the Son of God, the King of heaven, come w
Lucifer,the Unworthy Ruler.
The third heaven is the first realm in God`s great kingdom to be populated. God created the angelic beings and they resided in the third heaven. The most beautiful and powerful angel was Lucifer. He was given authority as a kingpriest over the angels. He had a very special position near God and was the anointed cherub, the son of the morning that led the worship in heaven.

God`s Great Kingdom - the 3 realms.
The Godhead.
The Godhead, Father, Son and Holy Spirit are equal, in unity and of one mind. When operating the Father initiates, the Son administers and the Holy Spirit energises.
God`s Throne.
God`s rule, is above all created realms. His throne, the symbol of His authority is established forever and ever. It is unchangeable and unalterable.
`Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of your kin
OVERVIEW
`God.... purposed in Himself, that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, which are in heaven and which are on earth – in Him,...` (Eph. 1: 9 & 10)
Throughout God`s word we read how God gave different people understanding of His great eternal purposes. These are centred in Christ, and His rulership of God`s great kingdom.
We know that even though God made all things `good,` it was still vulnerable.
GOD`S JUDGMENT
Near the end of the Islamic leaders reign, God deals with the world system in Babylon.
`The kings of the earth who committed fornication and lived luxuriously with her will weep and lament for her, when they see the smoke of her burning, standing at a distance for fear of her torment, saying, “ Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! For in one hour your judgment has come.” (Rev. 18: 9 & 10)

THE HARLOT
Here we see the Quartet of Power, as the world calls them - Britain & the USA, Russia and the European Union. And with these Great Powers is the United Nations. They gathered together to welcome the Palestinian Elections as a Positive Step forward.
This meeting took place in 2005, and these powers are still in place, only the leaders have changed.
The United Nations is not one of the `beastly` powers that Daniel saw, but is associated with them in a `mo
