The Increase of His Kingdom...The Shaking of Creation

[tatwo]

Greetings...

It should be obvious that the world today is shaking...shaking in a manner that “I” have never experienced in my 65 years on this earth. This shaking is setting up to be a greater impact than World War II or anything since...as I see it...here’s why. Perhaps the reader has not yet experienced this shaking...if you have...you understand what I am saying.

The Kingdom of God as is encountered in Christ...is a “continually increasing” invisible spiritual eternal reality....as we are told by Isaiah...“There will be no end to the increase of His government or of peace.”¹ John the Baptist mentions it similarly...“He must increase, but I must decrease.”²

And again it would appear that Daniel wrote of the matter of the increase of the Kingdom of God and His Christ as well...“But the stone that struck the statue became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.”³ Consider Luke’s words in chapter 1 of his letter...“He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and His kingdom will have no end.”⁴ You get it...

There are more examples...but anyone who actually loves the Lord Yahshua and knows Him, already realizes this truth. His Kingdom has been and is increasing since it came to the earth in the Lord Yahshua Himself and...He mentioned this truth a number of times as recorded. What am I getting at...why did I even bother to post this to a forum?

It is precisely this “continual increase” of the Kingdom of God that is producing the “shaking” of creation today. Perhaps we should consider what the effects of this “shaking” actually are...by Scriptural and prophetic definition. Matthew 24 and Mark 13 speak of Lord saying...“the powers of the heavens will be shaken.”^5,6

Dr. Luke in the 21^st chapter of his Gospel records the Lord in this way...“men fainting from fear and the expectation of the things which are coming upon the world; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.”⁷ Here Luke includes a shaking upon the earth as well that will “deeply disturb humanity.” This is both a temporal shaking of earth and a spiritual shaking of the earth and heavens.

Of course everyone is free to attach their own time frame as to when the shaking of the heavens and the earth is set to begin. I am not here to discuss that matter from any one perceived dogmatic view...no... I am simply attempting to point out the shaking currently underway, how it is playing out, and why. Some will see it and get it...others are blinded to it via deception.

The purpose of the shaking of creation as we are told in Hebrews 12 is...“denotes the removing of those things which can be shaken, as of created things, so that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.”⁸ That which “cannot be shaken” is the Kingdom of God because it is eternal...and it is not possible for tribulation of any degree...”great or small”...to shake the Kingdom of God or His son...Christ.

“We”...Christ...the glorious Head and radiant Body...also known as...the Son of the living God...and I am referencing specifically...those of us here on the earth today...have “received a kingdom which cannot be shaken.”⁸ Now if one does not know or believe this...I can completely understand one’s thoughts about leaving earth...prior to Christ having completed “His Fathers will” and thereby “accomplishing His works”⁹ here on the earth...which by the way was the “original intent” of God...in bringing creation forth to begin with.

The “Son of God...Christ” can neither be threatened nor intimidated by anything in creation...meaning the heavens and earth...He is eternal. That which can be shaken is...anything that was created...seems to me that there would be a direct connection between that which cannot be shaken...and the eternal reality that is doing the shaking...hope I didn’t lose anyone there? If I did...just go back a re-read it if you like.

God does not define death like the carnal, religious and immature do...I mean why would God have to remove His temple from the earth so that He won’t have to suffer...due to the shaking that He Himself is administering to His creation? That which cannot be shaken...is...the reality that is doing the shaking...right?

That is why those who often talk about things like...“not having to go through the tribulation” and “not having to experience the wrath of God” by being taken off the earth...are being so presumptuous. The Son of God...Christ...is strengthened in tribulation...even unto the death of the flesh. Similarly how could the Body in which the actual presence of the Spirit of the eternal God dwells...in any way ever suffer the “wrath of God” that He is pouring out upon creation...that is just pure folly.

So...back to the shaking...just one thing for now...the global economy has become utterly unstable at this time...increasingly so. The dragon is attempting to bring in a “new economic system” and all those who are assisting the dragon in bringing this forth today...believe that they are going to profit handsomely from the transition and then subsequently rule over it...and us...they may...but for a time.

Like I always tell my family...I do not know if the effort will be successful or not...I doubt it...making sure not to forget the cascading of events that are dependent upon the current debt based economic system. However...whether they succeed or not...in either case...humanity...you and I...are going to be directly exposed to the judgment that will inspire the kings of the earth...whose “love of money” which known as the “root of all sorts of evil”¹⁰ as it plays out here in our lives.

If...your identity is in your eternal God and Father...”His economy”...is abundantly available to you now...by faith. He will sustain you...though your flesh “may die” in the process. If you find yourself “shaking” immediately discern your spiritual proximity if you can...and make the faith based and obedient adjustments quickly...the darkness is increasing exactly as prophesied.

Do not be deceived beloved of the King!

End Notes:

1.      Isaiah 9:6-7 NASB For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.  (7)  There will be no end to the increase of His government or of peace, On the throne of David and over his kingdom, To establish it and to uphold it with justice and righteousness From then on and forevermore. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will accomplish this.

2.      John 3:30-31 NASB "He must increase, but I must decrease.  (31)  "He who comes from above is above all, he who is of the earth is from the earth and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all.

3.      Daniel 2:34-35 NASB "You continued looking until a stone was cut out without hands, and it struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay and crushed them.  (35)  "Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold were crushed all at the same time and became like chaff from the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away so that not a trace of them was found. But the stone that struck the statue became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.

4.      Luke 1:32-33 NASB  "He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David;  (33)  and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and His kingdom will have no end."

5.      Matthew 24:29 NASB  "But immediately after the tribulation of those days THE SUN WILL BE DARKENED, AND THE MOON WILL NOT GIVE ITS LIGHT, AND THE STARS WILL FALL from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

6.      Mark 13:24-25 NASB  "But in those days, after that tribulation, THE SUN WILL BE DARKENED AND THE MOON WILL NOT GIVE ITS LIGHT,  (25)  AND THE STARS WILL BE FALLING from heaven, and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken.

7.      Luke 21:25-26 NASB "There will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth dismay among nations, in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves,  (26)  men fainting from fear and the expectation of the things which are coming upon the world; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

8.      Hebrews 12:26-29 NASB  And His voice shook the earth then, but now He has promised, saying, "YET ONCE MORE I WILL SHAKE NOT ONLY THE EARTH, BUT ALSO THE HEAVEN."  (27)  This expression, "Yet once more," denotes the removing of those things which can be shaken, as of created things, so that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.  (28)  Therefore, since we receive a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us show gratitude, by which we may offer to God an acceptable service with reverence and awe;  (29)  for our God is a consuming fire.

9.      John 4:34 NASB Jesus *said to them, "My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to accomplish His work.

10.  1^st Timothy 6:10 NASB For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.

There are two types of covenants, unilateral and bi-lateral. The covenant with Israel was bi-lateral;

Exo 19:8  And all the people answered together, and said, All that the LORD hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the LORD.

Since Israel broke the old covenant (often), a new covenant was promised;

Jer 31:31  Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
Jer 31:32  Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD:
Jer 31:33  But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Jer 31:34  And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

This new covenant (kingdom) was what was offered to Israel by John the Baptist and Jesus himself. However, this offer was rejected.

Some say the new covenant was given to the gentiles. However, another view is that while gentiles today can be placed into the kingdom, it is the heavenly kingdom and accessible because we are placed into the body of Christ. The earthly kingdom has yet to be established.

That the new covenant will be accepted by a faithful remnant of Israel might be seen in Isaiah;

Isa 66:8  Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.

I see the tribulation described in heaven in Revelation chapters 4 and 5. As the scroll is opened and the seals broken, the wrath of God is poured out on the earth. Those that are left on earth have to choose and when the kingdom is established on earth, it will start with those who were faithful. As a result there will be both a heavenly kingdom and an earthly kingdom.

Eph_1:10  That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:

The Lord another the New Covenant at the last Super and the disciples eventually understood that it also includes the Gentiles. Actually they understood those who understood it well like Peter with his experience with Cornelius family that there is no more Gentiles as it was before the Cross of Jesus Christ. 

That the Jews are not more Jews and the Gentiles are no more Gentiles but there is only the New MAN on earth that he is invited to have his sins forgiven in Jesus Christ. In the same way for everyone. 

The disciples understood the New Covenant that it was for everyone and they accepted their duty to go to the rest of the world and preached the good news that we are not better than you we also needed forgiveness of sins in the same way it is offered to you by God. 

God in Jesus Christ  reconcile the world unto himself. 

And we also found our selves in our sins and we had to believe in Jesus Christ to be in the people of God. We are not Israelites anymore we are Hebrews. The author of Hebrews understood that because he knew that Israelites meant the people of God. Because he was asking those who called them selves Israelites to believe in Jesus Christ to be the people of God.

He showed them as the other Hebrews their cousins who were excluded from the blessings of God but now they are included in the blessings of God in Jesus Christ. In Abraham they were excluded but now they are included in Jesus Christ and those who were included in Abraham now they are excluded and they also need to believe in Jesus Christ to be included. This is why Paul said that Israel is now Hagar and they need to believe.
