INTRODUCTION Christ the Conqueror in Glory. In the near future, the Lord Jesus Christ will leave His Father`s throne, gather His believers together and go to His own throne in the third heaven. There, amid the acclaim of myriads of angelic host and His Body of believers, the Lord is inaugurated as the mighty conqueror. Christ the conqueror over Satan, his World System and death. We are given a fore view of this momentous celebration. `A throne set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. And he who sat there was like a jasper and a sardius in appearance;...` (Rev. 4: 2 & 3) The Jasper gem stone was the last on the High Priest`s breastplate. It stood for the tribe of Naphtali whose name means to prevail, to conquer - `I have prevailed.` (Gen. 30: 8) Prevail – to gain the victory, to conquer. `Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David has prevailed…` (Rev. 5: 5) Christ was the last Adam and He prevailed over the World System, the flesh and the devil. He has secured the supreme victory over the greatest foe. So, how did the Lord prevail and conqueror His great foe and the World System? Christ the Man on Earth. Over two thousand years ago the Lord left the heavenly realms and entered the sphere of Satanic influence on earth. His mission was to give Himself as the sacrifice for the sin of mankind. To do this Jesus had to live life as a man and not use His divine ability to overcome trials and temptations. Satan did not know of God`s plan to save mankind, however, he could see that by thwarting Jesus he could continue controlling man through his world systems. `the hidden wisdom of God ordained before the ages ….which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.` (1 Cor. 2: 7 & 8) Jesus told His disciples, “ I have overcome the World (System). ` (John 16: 33) And Jesus tells us, `To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne…` (Rev. 3: 21) What a wonderful but challenging promise. Let us now look at what Satan`s World System is like, and then how Jesus overcame his mortal enemy, the World System and death. Finally, we look at how we are enabled to overcome also.

Hi SwordMaster, What Sower has written is very good and I know will help you. My thought is that you and your son need to find out the areas that he has willingly, by an act of his will allowed demonic influences into his life. It is only by an act of his will - repenting, that those demons will not have access to him. God does NOT go against our will.

You might like to read these scriptures, Wayne. `I will keep You and give You as a covenant to the people, as a light to the Gentiles.` (Isa. 42: 6) "This is the new covenant in My blood." (1 Cor. 11: 25) -
Hi backontrack, May I encourage you to know that Christ has by His Holy Spirit placed us all, (who believe) in His Body. `But now has God set the members every one of them in the Body, as it has pleased Him.` (1 Cor. 12: 18) So, we are all in unity, (Eph. 4: 3) which we are to keep otherwise we, individually will not be in the Body. That means our attitude is of grace towards each other. Now, the differences we have while on this earth regarding various topics, will either remain as truth with us or get done away with when we go to glory. We, as humans do not do the uniting, (as if we ever could) but the Holy Spirit does that when we are incorporated into the Body of Christ.

Hi Ad Hoc, I have posted your comments above about the Body and Bride. I replied that that was transgender. Transgender - A transgender person is someone whose gender identity is different from the sex they were assigned at birth. The Body of Christ was called the `New Man,` (see op. Col. 10 - 11) Then you have introduced this wrong teaching (I believe) that says the Body is a female, a bride. But that was NOT what God called it. -

Actually, Wayne Jesus IS the covenant, (Isa, 42: 6) I will write more to Ad hoc if you want to read that. -

That`s right RdJ, however, it is about God`s relationship with the NATION of Israel. God is their husband,`meaning in Hebrew - Master. -

Glad you brought that up Michael, about relationships. God`s relationship with Israel is as you said a husband and wife, (Isa. 54: 5) The word `husband `is master. Thus, the nation of Israel knew that God was their master, and He would look after them. As to the believers in the Body of Christ we know that the Lord is the Head of the Body, which is a closer relationship than master. -

Yes, but not one that we can build a doctrine on. -

So, are you saying that you think the `bride`is spiritual therefore it is ok? But God`s right and wrong does not change in the spirit. A `bride`is female,`and you are certainly not that whether in the natural or spiritual. -

But with no backup scriptures. I ask men, do you say to an unbelieving male, `Come to Jesus and be His bride? ` I think not. It really amazes me how so many men (especially) do believe that they as men are a bride. Not having been taught this teaching I am amazed. Having been to Bible College I know that doctrine has to be clear and clearly developed just as Paul wrote of the Body being the New Man in the first 4 chapters of Ephesians. Also, a doctrine is not based on a type, symbol, imagery, etc but clear straight forward development of teaching.
