Solomon had lots of horses and lots of wives! And was very ‘wise’

Only Jesus could fulfill the criteria. All the other ‘Kings’ were, I guess a foreshadowing of Christ. why the preamble? why didnt all this unfold long ago? and yes the prophecy but God could have made this happen a long long time ago.

Hi mabel,

Now that is a very, very good question. To our minds it would have sorted things out much quicker, ay. However God has great purposes on the go. Also He gives mankind every opportunity to live right, but as we have seen over the centuries mankind is so wicked.

Now the great purposes are for all rulership in every realm to come under Christ`s rulership.

The earthly will be governed by Israel, then the universal realm will have rulership in the New Jerusalem, and finally the angelic realm, (third heaven) is where we will be with Christ on His throne. 

People tend to just think of the earth and this world and how it needs being made new, however God desires that the Universal realm will also be cleansed and have rulership there. And finally above all that amazingly is where we will be with a new body and mind to be able to comprehend more. It is beyond our limited understanding now, though. 

God has a whole expanding universe out there and I believe He is going to create more and more worlds in the age to come. 

regards, Marilyn.

Just another thought - God is not a Dictator who would have just wiped out Lucifer when he sinned. God is giving Satan, (Lucifer`s name change to Satan - meaning accuser of the brethren) time to fulfill his desire to rule the world.

And what sort of rulership will Satan have? Yes a controlling, accusing, down treading, crushing power. Satan is deceiving the nations to think they have to `save the world` and that they can do it together. However, as we well know it is all about power and control - our way or you can`t `buy or sell` in our economy.

Thus Satan`s evil motives are exposed to all, and God`s judgments will be shown to be righteous.

`Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are your judgments.` (Rev. 16: 7)

what struck me about what you are saying here, got me thinking that the world is busy moving towards a universal system, whether people know it or not. Health, economy, religion, government a few to mention and this will be all tied to the Mark, Mark of the Beast) a 0ne body if you will...the counterfeit of the real deal 

The real deal, is being  Saved, people who have accepted and trust and  believe  What Jesus Christ did for them on the Cross of Calvary, his shed blood, his blood atonement for ALL of our sins past, present and future sins .
 

Quote

 

KJV John 3:15-16

¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

 

note it says loved and not loves and therefore this is past tense, which suggests that Jesus Christ paid for All of our Sins in full by his blood attonement

Quote

¹⁵ That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

and for our part, this is a  free gift  to accept (grace), no strings attached, its fully up to us, its our freewill to choose as to whether we believe  what Jesus Christ did for us and receive Salvation. and like you say Maz, God is not a dictator and so it is up to us to choose, Heaven or Hell that is the choice.

Hi mabel,

What you have written, is I believe by the Holy Spirit. It is the most important truth that we need to bring to mind and tell others when the Lord quickens us to.

Thank you so much for sharing. Marilyn.

maybe the Holy Spirit is preparing me things are gathering momentum you could say
