Step 4. The Great Reset.
The phrase the `global economic reset,` has been increasingly used by elitists in the central banking world for several years. In 2014 Christine Lagarde, the head of the IMF, talked about it in relation to the New World Order.
The `reset` is promoted as a solution to the ongoing economic crisis which was triggered in 2008. This same financial crash is still with us today; but now, after a decade of central bank money printing and debt creation, the bub
The Sustainable Development Goals by the United Nations cover every aspect of people`s lives, from water, food, education, health, and business to finance and governance. They declare a `New relationship between people and nature is needed as climate change and biodiversity loss threaten progress.`
However, these goals present so much more than a utopian dream.
The Radical Agenda.
Embedded in these high sounding goals is a `moral` agenda that must be adhered to. For e
Conclusion.
Ruling the world has always been man`s ultimate desire for power and control. History has revealed the world rulers as, Babylon, the Medes and Persians, (Kurds & Iran), Greece and Rome. There has been no world ruler since then.
In God`s word we know that there will be one final Gentile, (non Jewish) world ruler before God will set up His rulership through Israel. Today we see this coming together amid the turmoil of the nations.

Introduction.
After looking at what the world is doing in the last series, `Steps to the Mark,` I thought it would be good to look at the Lord and what He is doing. Thus I would like to do this next series on the book of Revelation. I have done a summary series before but this one will be in greater detail.
Now I am really looking forward to studying the book of Revelation as I know God will unfold more to us in these last days. God`s word says that the Holy Spirit is bringing the Bod
His Counsel.
`His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow,
And His eyes like aflame of fire;
His feet were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace,....`
(Rev. 1: 14 & 15)
The whiteness of His hea
The glorified Lord Jesus Christ is seated at the right hand of the Father `far above all principality and power, and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.` (Eph. 1: 20 & 21)
His Authority
`His voice as the sound of many waters;
He had in His right hand seven stars,
The Apostle John was overcome by this wondrous vision of the Lord Jesus and collapsed at His feet as dead. The blinding sight of Christ`s glory, His concentrated gaze and the terrible sword protruding from the mouth all made John`s heart tremble & become terror stricken. But the Lord lays His hand upon him and reassures him that He has all things under His command.
As the `First,` Christ is the creator of all things visible & invisible, and as the `Last,` He finishes all thi
The 7 Stages of the Body of Christ. (Rev. 2 & 3)
The Lord Jesus Christ, the Head, has planned & is now building together the Body. The 7 cities, Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamos, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia and Laodicea, represent this Body at different stages throughout the past two centuries. It is a complete overview, beginning at Pentecost & finally culminating when the Body will be `caught away,` to its eternal setting in glory.
Christ`s Counsel to the Body of Christ. (Rev. 2 & 3)
We will now look at the Lord dealing with each of the 7 groups. He encourages & comforts, or warns & exposes error, while revealing Himself afresh to each group as the answer to their problem. If we are a part of the Body of Christ then even today we are to heed what the Spirit is saying.
1. Ephesus – Division. (Rev. 2: 1 – 7)
Christ re
4. Thyatira – Idolatry & Witchcraft. (Rev. 2: 18 – 29)
Christ highlights His deity to these believers. He tells them that He is searching their motives & will judge those who are worshipping Satan.
`These things says the Son of God,
who has eyes like a flame of fire, & His feet like fine brass;`
6. Philadelphia – Christ`s Purposes. (Rev. 3: 7 – 13)
Christ reveals His Character (Holy) & His Purposes (True) to this group of believers, and then He opens up to them His riches of wisdom & knowledge.
`These things says He who is Holy, He who is true, .....
See I have set before you an open door...`
7. Laodicea - Man`s Purposes. (Rev. 3: 14 – 19)
Christ reveals Himself to this group as the Originator (Beginning) & the one who will Terminate all things, (Amen) plus the one who oversees all in between. It is His purposes that will prevail, not man`s.
`These things says the Amen, ......the Beginning of the creation of God.`
Christ the Reward. (Rev. 2 & 3)
Christ`s promises of a reward to the seven churches encompass the full inheritance to every overcomer. This includes a new body, an incorruptible one that can dwell in the realms of the third heaven.
`For this corruptible must put on incorruption,
and this mortal must put on immortality...`
Christ`s Character. (The Hidden Manna. Rev.2: 17)
`To him who overcomes i will give some of the hidden manna to eat.` (Rev. 2: 17)
`Jesus said,
“ I am the bread of life.
Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and are dead.....
Christ Likeness and Function. (The White Stone with our New Name. Rev.2: 17)
`To him who overcomes ...
I will give him a white stone,
and on the stone a new name written
which no one knows except him who receives it. `
Christ the Judge. (Name in Book of Life. Rev.3: 5)
`He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments,
and I will not blot out his name from the book of life,
but will confess his name before my Father and before His angels.`
(Rev. 3: 5)
Ruling over 3 Realms. (Name of God, Name of the City of God, the New Jerusalem and Christ`s New Name. Rev.3: 12)
`He who overcomes, .....
I will write on him the name of my God,
and the name of the city of my God, th
Christ`s Kings. (Sit on Christ`s New Throne. Rev.3: 21)
`To him who overcomes,
I will grant to sit with Me on My throne
as I also overcame and sat down with My Father
on His throne.`
(Rev. 3: 21)
These are the overcomer
CHRIST THE HEIR OF ALL THINGS.
Overview.
In the next chapters of Revelation. (5 - 7) we are ushered in to behold the most astounding celebration in all of God`s great kingdom. Christ moves from the Father`s throne to His own throne as the Sovereign King and Heir of all things. He is described and displayed in all perfection of His wondrous person and vocation, exercising His Sovereign authority and His hereditary right.
Previously Lucifer was a King and a Priest in t
Christ on the Father`s Throne.
When the Lord ascended to glory after His resurrection, He went to the Father`s throne. This is above the created order.
`when he (Christ) had purged our sins,
sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,...`
(Heb. 1: 3)
There He sat at the Father
Christ on His Own Throne.
Let us now look closer at the One on this throne -the High Priest and King. The gem stones are given to reveal more understanding to us.
The Gem Stones.
`And he who sat there was like a jasper and a sardius in appearance;...`
(Rev. 4: 3)
The Jasper gem stone was the last on the High Priest`s breastplate. It stood for t
