Christ`s Rule in the New Heavens and New Earth.

                                                     9. Christ`s Rule in the New heavens & New Earth..jpg

 

 

When the New Jerusalem comes down to its appointed setting in the Universal realm, then the Lord Jesus Christ will be the supreme ruler in all of God`s great kingdom, from the third heaven, then down in the New Jerusalem and the earth. He then delivers the great kingdom, His rule to God the Father that God may be all in all.

`Then comes the end, when He (Christ Jesus) delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power.....Now when all things are made subject to Him, then the Son Himself will also be subject to Him who put all things under Him, that God may be all in all.` (1 Cor. 15: 24 & 28)

 

The 3rd Heaven 

The Lord Jesus Christ will be invested with all power and authority over every ruler in every realm. The Body of Christ will share this throne with the Head – Christ. 

`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)

 

The Universal Heavens 

Out of the third heaven into the Universal realm will come the city, the New Jerusalem, with its residents, the just men and women. These are the ones who `looked for a city whose Builder and Maker is God.`  They believed for more than just an earthly inheritance.

`These (Old testament saints) all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, they were assured of them, embraced them, confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.....they desire a better, that is a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them.` (Heb.11: 13 - 16)

 

The Atmospheric Heavens 

There will be nations that continue upon the earth into eternity.

`And the nations of those who are saved shall walk in its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honour into it.` (Rev. 21: 24)

Israel was promised by God that they would rule over these nations. (Gen. 12: 2,  Isa. 66: 22)
