Thy Kingdom Come on Earth
We stand at the precipice of the end of time. In that I mean – the end of time for MAN to rule upon the earth. Jesus will soon take to Himself all that is His and belongs to Him. When He returns the earth will be restored, but we are in process even now. As The Lord raises up the true structure “As it is in Heaven” we will begin to be acquainted with how His government will be, even before it will come in fullness, because He will raise up that form of Heavenly Government which is in Heaven and we will see it to some degree being raised up prior to His return. We have always thought or considered we would not see any form of it until He had set foot back on the mount of Olives, but He is actually bringing about the basic structure of it before He returns because there will be a “pre-transition” of the structure from the way MAN does it and the way it will be upon the Earth when Christ returns. There is The Father, then Christ to whom all things have been given, and then there will be the 24 elders and then many categories and divisions beyond that. As we read in judgment – those who were faithful were given some 30, some 60 and some 100 fold. To some He will say – go then and rule over this city. Even as we see a structure in the earth today, Heaven on earth will have a structure. As we have a King and there are authorities delegated under Him there will still be such a structure, but it will be a HOLY structure. Remember, Satan only tries to copy – so much of what was set up on earth through men were satanic copies of things Lucifer took with him from Heaven to try make himself god here. The Holy Spirit is bringing forth revelation knowledge of the Governing Structure as it is in Heaven – prior even to the return of Christ. The knowledge and essence and basic structure of the Kingdom will precede the return of Christ. False churches and cults throughout time have tried to emulate this structure and have tried to proclaim themselves “this structure” just as Lucifer tried to raise himself above God so have these false churches tried to raise themselves to be the “class of the ruling stature of the Kingdom of God on Earth”. These were of course false prophets building upon a prophetic truth – that the day would come when such a structure from God would actually come – well, - this is to herald in the fact that such revelation and truth is now coming forth. We have seen and put up with the false prophets, but the real ones are coming forth and they WILL HAVE FIRE proceed from their mouth. That is to say, what they will speak will HAVE EFFECT. They will speak and THINGS WILL HAPPEN. They will be effectual. And if there comes into their path an Ananias and Saphira again – these prophets will speak the word of God and they will fall dead as well. In a way – these shall prepare the way of the Lord and will precede as Elijah did and as John the Baptist did. NOTE: It was said of Jesus that John did come in the Spirit of Elijah and a rare insight is that Johns’ father took from the temple the mantle that was Elijah's and put it upon John the Baptist. The mantle had made its way to the temple where it had been kept and so, this mantle will again be taken from the temple and put upon the “Elijahs” of this day as they again make way for the coming of the Lord, but also in the “path clearing” coming along with these “Elijahs” will be true apostolic chosen vessels of God who will bring forth revelation knowledge of the governmental structure of Heaven and will begin to build upon that prior to the Lord’s return. Remember Jesus said Elijah would return and restore all things at the end of the age. I believe Elijah himself will walk upon the earth and finish his ministry as one of the Two Witnesses of Revelation. There will have been laid a certain foundational structure that is of Heaven that Christ will return to and continue to build upon. It started with the Apostles of the first century, but it veered off course into what we now call “church” which is NOT the Kingdom Governmental Structure AS IT IS IN HEAVEN. Lord have mercy on us all if we had to spend Eternity dealing with the structure we know as “church” with all of the manipulation and control and self importance that all comes with it. NO! Governmental Structure as it is in Heaven – is “HEAVENLY”. The prophets have declared there is revelation knowledge that is coming forth and I am saying now that much of that revelation knowledge concerns KINGDOM STRUCTURE and order and that revelation knowledge is coming on the heels of these prophets being carried in the hands of the Apostles. They will be given “scrolls from God” that they will carry forward. They will unravel these scrolls and find they are “blueprints” to the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth. As we have had gifts and offices on Earth they will continue into the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth. Apostles will still have authorities. Prophets will still proclaim the purposes of God. Evangelists of every generation will speak in the Kingdom of the continuing Good News that will ever proceed from the thrown of God. Teachers shall forever teach and expound on the more intricate details of the mysteries of God which are never ending and the Joy of every Pastor will be to serve up the food that will be eternally given by God to eat of. “Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven”. Taken from what we have called the Lord’s Prayer – this time we are living in is the actual fulfillment and transition that is occurring and coming forth before our eyes.
In the midst of the Anti-Christ trying to establish himself there will be a “construction going on” underneath his nose that is the preparation for the one who will rule the Earth. I imagine that would be an irritation large enough to try to martyr all the believers.
Dan 2:31-35
31: You, O king, saw, and behold, a great image. This image which was mighty and of exceedingly great brightness, stood before you, and the appearance of it was frightening and terrible. 32: As for this image, its head was of fine gold, its breast and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of bronze, 33: Its legs of iron, its feet part of iron and part of [burned potter’s] clay. 34: As you looked a Stone was cut out without human hands, which smote the image on its feet that were of iron and clay – the burned clay of the potter – and broke them to pieces. [ I Pet. 2:3-8 ] 35: Then was the iron, the [burned potter’s] clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold, broken and crushed together and became like the chaff of the summer threshing-floors, and the wind carried them away, so that not a trace of them could be found. And the Stone that smote the image became a great mountain or rock and filled the whole earth.
A “stone” cut out without hands”. When Christ said to Peter, “Upon this ROCK I will build my church” – Christ was not saying upon Peter He would build His church, but upon that ROCK of REVELATION which Peter had just revealed. This “stone cut out without hands” is, to me, that Rock of Revelation that comes from the Father. To say “Without Hands” is idiomatic to mean – NOT BY MAN, but by God. – therefore this “stone” will be cut out by God and will strike the feet of the image – which is representative of Mans’ rule upon the earth, but here we see “the stone that smote the image” became a mountain and filled the earth. This is the mountain of God. This is “Thy Kingdom come upon Earth as it is in Heaven”. And in this verse it depicts that the history of Man will fade away into nothing. This stone will smite the image and it will fall. Christ already smote the enemy on Calvary, but that “Rock of Revelation” continues to grow. It may still be that small stone, but as revelation knowledge and the power of the Kingdom is revealed and comes forth more and more it will grow larger and larger. In the sense that Christ conquered the enemy upon the cross the stone has already struck the image. We have thought to look forward to this as a future event when in some respect it already has occurred and the statement of Christ that “Upon this Rock He will build His Church” He is saying – this is the stone that will grow and fill the earth.
The time of the Gentiles needed to be fulfilled and the “six days of man to rule on the earth needed to be completed”, but that is where we are now at – so then, building upon this rock will take on exponential growth, because it is now time for it to come into the earth and to topple totally the image and to fill the earth. This is a process of some years we are speaking of, but as Christ chose His original apostles He already initiated the first elements of the blueprints for “The Kingdom Come”. Many churches of course have taken this upon themselves to say they are the fulfillment, but there is now coming a great deal more on the “blueprints of the Kingdom” as it is now close for Christ to return and rule.
These apostles that may bring revelation of such blueprints will be humble of heart and will be as servants. This does not mean they will be faint of heart and not bold in Spirit. What it does mean is they will not be like the false self proclaimed apostles we have seen rise up who did nothing more than manipulate and control the sheep and build kingdoms for themselves. As Christ said – if any among you desire to be great then let him be servant to all. This is a basic axiom to the structure of Kingdom Government. There will be no one in authority who does not have the heart of a servant to those God sends them. Although the “Elijahs” that are coming may speak with power to the world and bring judgment even they will speak correction to the church with a heart to see change – not destruction. Too many at this time who think themselves prophets are too hard hearted like Jonah who would rather see judgment come than see repentance, but – as they spend time in the belly of some great fish – they will have a change of heart. And to those many, many, all TOO MANY who think themselves prophets now – they will prove not to be. Scripture even prophesies that these many will be exposed and then people will come to them and say – were you not a prophet and they will say “I am not a prophet, I am just a businessman”. They are only in the prophetic now because, for them it is a “business venture”.
We have focused a little too much on looking to the sky to see the Kingdom come, when again the Lord said the Kingdom is within you. As we approach now closer to the rule of Christ coming upon the Earth we can expect a supernatural rising up of the Spirit within us bringing forth more reality as to how the Kingdom of Heaven is. While we have in some way been looking for the Kingdom to come out of the sky, what is happening is the Kingdom is rising up in us in a way which has not happened before. In a sense, “We are rising up to meet Him”. The Kingdom in us is rising up to eventually meet Him that shall return, but that kingdom we have been anticipating will be rising in our spirits. This has been happening to me. I have been feeling, to a small degree, this rising in my spirit of the person I am in Christ. When it does I feel totally myself and totally “at home” in the position I am in. I know who I am and I know what my job is and there are no questions and there is NO POWER PLAY or competitive attitude present what so ever – it simply is the KNOWING of who I am in Christ and what my function is – and that is the way the kingdom is going to be rising up in those who are HIS. The religious system will continue on its way and will increasingly be agitated at this “whatever it is” that is rising up and growing, but it is that “little stone” that will fill the earth.
Start looking to your inward spirit and be sensitive to that stirring and rising and that kingdom coming forth within you. Many things will overlap in the transition of Man ruling the Earth and Christ coming to rule. The Harvest will transition through different phases as will the transition from the rule of Man to Christ taking ownership of the Earth to Himself.
Now, let me make clear and point out clearly here THIS IS NOT DOMINION THEOLOGY! That again has become a perversion and twisted false doctrine of this basic prophetic truth. Kingdom Government will come and will manifest in rising up within our own spirits and will come through chosen vessels who come with blueprints on how things are to be built, formed, founded and established. Let me make it clear here as well – these blue prints are not “HOW TO” books. The Apostles will come to clarify that which is rising up in our spirits. I do NOT BELIEVE Christians are called to OVERTHROW the governments of the world so Jesus will come back. What I am speaking and saying here is that there will be rising up in believers the way it will be on earth AS IT IS IN HEAVEN and we will begin to understand that structure and to know what our position is and what we were created for. The whole mess with the fall of Lucifer and Man was based on wanting to become something other than or more than God created us to be. Positions in some churches and in cults are handed out like candy and also taken away as quickly if you fall out of agreement with those in higher positions. The Kingdom of Heaven on Earth will come more and more into play as we all become aware of the position we were created for and occupy that position and stop chasing after a position we think we would like or one we think would be interesting or would pay a good salary or get us the attention we may crave. To the degree that each person in the Body of Christ gets into the position for which they were created will be the degree to which we will see “Thy Kingdom come on Earth as it is in Heaven”. In Heaven each angel and each person occupies the position for which God created them and none are out of line. It is in the earth that anyone says they can have any position they wish. After all, we have to admit we have seen fools become kings, idiots become presidents and actors become governors – and it seems in all of their cases they are “actors” not created by God for the positions they are filling. By the way the word “hypocrite” is from the Greek word meaning an “actor”. When Paul spoke of being a “hypocrite” he was speaking of any who were acting out a role – whatever that role might be. For one to hold a position for which he was not created to have – he is defined as a “hypocrite” and it has always been the temptation of the enemy to offer to us more than we were supposed to have or something other than we were supposed be. In the Garden to Eve it was – if you eat of the tree you shall be as God. Lucifer was the greatest of Angels and could have retained his position, but he “ran after” that which was not his place and sought to ascend to the throne of God. If you really look at the structure of this world it is very much about trying to attain to a position of power, wealth, fame or what have you. We were all created for a specific purpose and function and position, but we are so influenced by this world’s system to go after, what SEEMS TO BE THE BEST – when in fact it may not be. What is BEST for every creature of God is to find that position for which God created them to occupy. Anything else is out of God’s will and ends up being unfulfilling and a miserable place to be. So – what am I trying more to say about The Kingdom Come? It is to become aware of the position and place and occupation God has created for you to occupy and it is in that position only that you will find the fulfillment of your hearts cry and the communion with God you so desire to have.
We are going to be introduced to the way the Kingdom will be upon this earth as it is on its way already through the revelatory efforts of the Holy Spirit by Jesus Christ who we will come to know more as the Revelator of the mysteries and the structure of the Kingdom of Heaven. This will all progress and culminate in the physical return of Christ. Many will be martyred and the whole planet brought to near extinction of all mankind if it were not for the return of Christ, but we will return with Christ (those who have died and were martyred) already having had, to some degree, instruction on Kingdom structure. To quote: “These will be the best of times, and the worst of times”.
Many churches and countless people think there are no more revelations to come forth. They say all revelation that is to be known has already been written and revealed in the Bible, and yet they bypass and disregard in Daniel 12 where God tells Daniel to “shut up the words of the book until the time of the end”. Therefore: there is revelation that is to come forth at the time of the end - things that would be held hidden until the time of the end. Daniel 12:3 (Amplified version) And the teachers and those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the firmament; and those who turn many to righteousness – to uprightness and right standing with God [shall give forth light] like the stars forever and ever. [Matt. 13:43] 4. But you, O Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book until the time of the end. [Then] many shall run to and fro and search anxiously [through the Book], and knowledge [of God’s purposes as revealed by His prophets] Shall be increased and become great. Matthew 13:43 – Then will the righteous – those who are upright and in right standing with God – shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Let him who has ears be listening, and consider and perceive and understand by listening.
I believe those as stated here in Daniel – those who are wise shall shine as the firmament. I believe there will be a company that will come forth having the gospel of salvation but also the understanding of Kingdom Structure will in fact have a Holy Shine upon them. Maybe some will see it, maybe some won’t. Maybe there will be a few visible to all. I think those with spiritual eyes, born again by the Holy Spirit will indeed perceive this upon them. I was at several Kathryn Kullman services many years ago and I have related many times how I would, at times, lose sight of her as – to my eyes – she was covered in a light so bright I would lose sight, off and on, of her physical body as it was on stage. All I could perceive was a 5 foot pillar of light. I was once covered in the Holiness of Christ at a Vic Coburn service in the rear balcony in an auditorium – there were about 20 witnesses to this who said they had lost sight of me into a pillar of light and that was all they could see for about 20 minutes. So, I can actually point to instances of this I have already seen and experienced for myself. There are coming apostles, prophets, teachers, manifest sons of God – or whatever you may wish to call them who will begin to usher in the Kingdom Principles as they are in Heaven and NOT as they have been perverted by men and false doctrines. The truth will return and God will establish on this earth His Government. All that is of the enemy is coming closer and closer to its end in all its forms. All those who have loved the ways of man and the way of the government of man will suffer loss if they do not let go of this system and embrace the Holy ways and system of God and His ways.
This is simply a proclamation the Spirit has given me today to send out as a heralding of what is being brought forth. It is a structure that God intends it to be. It is taking our place and occupying the place God created for us to occupy and there will come revelation from within us and it will come from apostles and prophets who will confirm and affirm in the Body of Christ those positions for which we were created and shall be established.
“Thy Kingdom come thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven”
