The Kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ.

When Jesus ascended, He went to His Father`s right hand, on the Father`s throne. At the appointed time the Father will send Jesus to gather His Body and take them to the third heaven.

`He (the Father) may send Jesus….whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things…` (Acts 3: 20 & 21)

The `restoration of all things` begins with restoring the visible rulership in the third heaven. This is where Jesus will be coronated as the supreme King overall.

`…a throne set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. And He who sat there was like a jasper and a sardius stone in appearance; and there was a rainbow around the throne, in appearance like an emerald. ` (Rev. 4: 2 & 3)

This description of the one on the throne is of gem stones that were the first and last on the High Priest`s breastplate. The jasper is for conqueror, Sardius is for king, and the emerald of the rainbow stands for heir.

Thus the `One` on the throne is the King and High Priest of Heaven, the conqueror, the Sovereign Ruler and Heir of all the Father`s estates. This is the Kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ, His rulership from the third heaven.

With the Lord is His Body that has been promised their inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.

`He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love. `(Col. 1: 13)

`…inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.` (Eph. 5: 5)

`Around the throne were twenty- four thrones, and on the thrones, I saw twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white robes; and they had crowns of gold on their heads. ` (Rev. 4: 4)

Note: The 24 Elders are representative of the Body of Christ.
