The Kingdom of God has Rulership in each Realm.
When God created the heavens and the earth, He established different realms with positions of authority – the third heaven, the Universe, and the earth. These are all within God`s great kingdom rule and were established by the Lord Jesus Christ,
`For by Him, (Christ) all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were crea

This series in my blogs is on Timelines. I find that timelines are very helpful in presenting quite complex thoughts simply. These timelines are on different subjects, and I hope that you find them helpful also.
The first one is an overview of the whole Bible. It helps us to grasp God`s great purpose – Christ being revealed through God`s word.
Conclusion.
As we continue to daily meditate upon our glorious Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, we are being changed into His likeness.
`For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the first-born among many brethren.` (Rom. 8: 29)
The things of this earth, trials, sufferings, difficulties, all become `strangely dim,` as that lovely song says when we look away to Jesus.
`Turn your eyes upon Jesus, Look full
Jesus the Lord in Eternity.
Jesus the Son of God is the heir of all the Father`s estates. As Kingpriest He rules supreme with His sacrificial heart. Then as Lord He administers and executes the Father`s will, even in the ages to come.
The Father `seated Him (Jesus) at His right hand in the heavenly places far above all principalities and powers and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in that which is to come. And He put all things und
Jesus the Lord over the Nations in the Millennium.
After Jesus has brought judgment upon the rebellious, He then sets up His kingdom rule through Israel.
`Many nations shall come and say, “Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; He will teach us of His ways, and we shall walk in His paths.” (Micah 4: 2)
A man named David will rule as king.
`And they shall serve the LORD their God and David their king.` (Jer. 30: 9)
Jesus the Lord over the Tribulation.
When the Body of Christ is complete Jesus takes it to His own throne in glory. There He is enthroned with His Body as the King High priest with His people as Kingpriests. Jesus receives all the glory, honour and power for He alone is worthy.
The Father then gives Jesus the scroll, the legal document of His will to be carried out. Thus, in His office of Lordship, Jesus steps forward and takes the scroll. Only He who is the `Lion and Lamb,`
Jesus the Lord over the Body of Christ.
The Lord holds the scepter of supremist authority and administration. This is portrayed as the `seven stars in His right hand. ` (Rev. 1: 20) It is a picture of the Pleiades, (7 stars) which draw our solar system around the Milky way over a thousand years. If the Lord has power to do that, how much more is He able to manage the Body of Christ over the centuries and across the world.
The Lord Jesus Christ is the founder and perfector of th
Jesus the Lord.
Lord – This office is held by one who has the right to administer in some sphere or capacity. It could be national, social, or spiritual.
It is also the executive part of the government, carrying the laws into effect. It is the exercise of power and can be signing and sealing of laws.
Thus, the Lordship of Jesus is not just a name but a title carrying authority and power.
`…He who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of lords
Jesus, King in Eternity.
This is a picture of the fiery, glorious throne of Jesus the King overall.
`I (Daniel) watched till thrones were put in place. And the Ancient of Days was seated; His garment was white as snow, and the hair of His head was like pure wool. His throne was a fiery flame, its wheels a burning fire; a fiery stream issued from before Him, a thousand thousands ministered to Him; ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him.` (Dan. 7: 9 & 10)

Jesus, King during the Millennium.
`The LORD (Father) said to me, (Son), “I have set my King on my holy hill of Zion. I will declare the decree: The LORD has said to me,
“You are my Son, today I have begotten you. Ask of me, and I will give you the nations for your inheritance, and the ends of the earth for your possession. You shall break them with a rod of iron; …` (Ps. 2: 6 – 9)
When the kingdoms of the world become the kingdoms of Jesus the King, He will rule them with
Jesus, King during the Tribulation.
`The Lord (Father) shall send the rod of your strength out of Zion. Rule in the midst of your enemies!` (Ps. 110: 2)
The Father tells His Son to begin ruling in the midst of His enemies. So, who are His enemies?
`Why do the nations rage, and the people plot a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying, “Let us break their bonds in pieces and ca
Jesus, King on Mount Zion.
The Father said, “I have set my King on my holy hill of Zion.” (Ps. 2: 6)
Jesus is appointed king by His Father and set on the highest ruling position – Mount Zion. This is in the third heaven where the angels are.
`You have come to Mount Zion…to God….innumerable angels….to Jesus…` (Heb. 12: 22 & 23)
