Thy Kingdom come


Thy Kingdom Come; Thy Will Be Done


HEADLINE:
________________________________________________________________________
Matthew 6:9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

From our HEADLINE, which is the Lord’s prayer, we will discus, the following words, “Thy kingdom come”.  Every thing that happened in the Garden of Eden and since mankind has populated the planet earth, has been an allegory.  “The planet Earth itself is a stage” as Shakespeare said, and men in every generation are ACTORS following scripts in role-play or daily life events programmed by Director-God.  The Earth-stage is orbiting the sun in what we know is the “bottomless pit”, a holding pen for devils.  Here  the prisoners fall in endless circles until they can climb out when they fall into the body of a man or animal and hold on tightly.  God planned to show the devil why He cast them down from Heaven and convicted them to imprisonment and finally death by fire.

Adam and Eve were two innocent “star-children”.  They were totally ignorant of the events in Heaven that preceded them and their advent on earth.  But Lucifer and Babylon, the male and female parents and progenitors of the so-called “fallen angels” knew what happened upstairs and why they were cast down into the pit.  The bottomless pit-prison is God’s dungeon below through which the earth happens to orbit the sun, Revelation 12:9, 12.  God planned to show devils their fault and why He must destroy them.  Adam and Eve were caretakers in the Garden and they were told they could “eat food from every tree except the tree of knowledge of good and evil in the middle of the Garden”.  This tree was an allegory for devils and their promptings, but this was not known to Adam and Eve.  Devils were invisible to them.  So to communicate with Adam and Eve, the devil entered the serpent which they could see and by that means they addressed them.  You know the rest of the story and what happened eventually.  They persuaded Eve and Adam to disobey God, and the rest of human history on earth has been fraught with pain, sorrow, bloodshed and death.  As a result of disobeying God, human bodies die and disappear back into dust.  Thus devils see what will happen to them.  They will burn by fire and completely disappear!

We also know about Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and their children.  They were chosen as actors to be “the chosen people” to illustrate before the world the glory of God’s family.  But devils also got to them and they disobeyed God and were cast out of the “promise land” just as Adam and Eve were cast out of the Garden of Eden.  When the children of Israel were cast out of the “promise land”, they were scattered by God among all the nations.  There is a reason for this.  It is because in reality all men on the planet earth are the children of God, Isaiah 45:9-12, Matthew 23:9, Acts 17:24-28.  He knew that devils would cause men to show bias against the other human nations on earth and say they are “not God’s people”.  Scattering the “chosen people” among them, makes it difficult to single out a specific nation and proclaim them more blessed than other nations.  Babylonian kings did the honors of defeating Israel, burning Jerusalem, and selling the people into slavery among the nations.

So how was God going to get a “holy nation” of beloved children?  Look at this.

Isaiah 10:20 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay upon him that smote them; but shall stay upon the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth. 21 The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God. 22 For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness.

Amos 9:8 Behold, the eyes of the Lord GOD are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth; saving that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith the LORD.

As you know our Father is the Husbandman and He plants His children in the clay fields of the Earth.  And from this field a remnant is removed daily and harvested to the Barn of Heaven.  This REMNANT is the “daily sacrifice” of sheep/wheat, or the daily number of men who die and are REDEEMED to Heaven after dying.

Numbers 28:3 And thou shalt say unto them, This is the offering made by fire which ye shall offer unto the LORD; two lambs of the first year without spot day by day, for a continual burnt offering. 4 The one lamb shalt thou offer in the morning, and the other lamb shalt thou offer at even;

John 4:35 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.

Matthew 13:24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: 25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. 26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. 27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? 28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? 29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

So "the daily sacrifice" is the removal of the spirits of men at death.  They are RAISED (resurrected) to the “barn of Heaven” where they are REBORN into become a nation that shall obey.  The Clay Master has no problem remaking the spirits of men.

Jeremiah 18:3 Then I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels. 4 And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it. 5 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 6 O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel.

Ezekiel 36:24 For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land. 25 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. 26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. 27 And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.

Isaiah 60:3 And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising. 4 Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side. 5 Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee. 6 The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come: they shall bring gold and incense; and they shall shew forth the praises of the LORD. 7 All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together unto thee, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister unto thee: they shall come up with acceptance on mine altar, and I will glorify the house of my glory.

Malachi 3:1 Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts. 2 But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap: 3 And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.

The case of RISING stones

There is something very interesting about the Word of God.  You just cannot grasp it even if it seems so plain to you.  God loves to speak in parables and allegories.  And if you do not know He is doing that, you will fail to get the message He is delivering.  Take for example what He was saying through John, the Baptist, to the Jews gathered to hear him speak.

Matthew 3:9 And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.

God was not rejecting the Pharisees, Sadducees, and priests in the crowd as that might seem to be at first blush.  He has John using one of His “patented” allegories referencing God’s RE-DO of His children. All men are “lively stones” and chips off the “Old Block”.

Deuteronomy 32:16 They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked they him to anger. 17 They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not. 18 Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee. 19 And when the LORD saw it, he abhorred them, because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters.

Isaiah 51:1 Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the LORD: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged. 2 Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.

1 Peter 2:5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

Matthew 24:1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. 2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

2 Corinthians 6:16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

Acts 15:16 After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up:

Now, when we revisit John the Baptist’s words to the Jews, it only seemed harsh.  But that is the way our Father does things.  He uses tactics to get the attention of men to make them reassess their behavior, but He means no harm to the children.  When you look at the allegories that refer to men such as wheat, sheep, grass, animals on a sheet as in Peter’s vision, plants and trees of righteousness, we can add flying stones.   In Matthew 24: 1-2, the stones of the temple are men.  So when God builds up the temple which is thrown down, He uses angelic stone masons to remove (cut) men from the flesh and prepare their spirits for ALTAR –ation upon the Heavenly Altar.  These rise up and fly away daily as the “daily sacrifice” of men.

God made Jesus become His “Savior of all men” and “Savior of the world”.   As a result of His work as the Lamb of God, Father gave him the task of retrieving his heritage from the bottomless pit.  God gave Jesus all the children created as a reward for his service (sacrifice).

Psalm 2:6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. 7 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. 8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.

John 17:20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; 21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. 22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: 23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. 24 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.

God has required that Jesus call all the children by our God-given "TRUE name" received at creation in the beginning.  The family roll is in Father's head.  It is called the Book of Life.  Jesus must call each child by his heavenly name that no one has heard before.  This act causes the children on earth to be "circumcised" from their flesh which is discarded as they rise to stand before the Father and the Son at the Throne.  God has a “no child left behind policy”.  So Jesus cannot miss any name on God's list.  It is not Father's will that one sheep shall perish.  So now you know what Jesus has been doing ever since he rose from the dead.  He has been very busy calling names on the Family Roll.  You cannot die on earth until and unless Jesus calls you by your true name.  It is just a fact, NO MAN GOD CREATED IS DEAD!  We were created as IMMORTAL spirits.  That is OUR BIRTHRIGHT by God’s SPIRIT-DNA!

Matthew 18:11 For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost. 12 How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray? 13 And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray. 14 Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.

John 6:39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.

John 10:2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. 4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.

John 5:25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. 26 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; 27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man. 28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,


Luke 20:36 Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection. 37 Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. 38 For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.

This is what Jesus was referring to in the Lord's prayer when he said, "Thy Kingdom come". 

John 18:36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.

And now you understand why.  The Family of God rises up as REDEEMED children and REAPED living spirits.  These "lively stones" form the Temple that God is rebuilding in Heaven.  As men we live on earth, but to be "true worshipers of God”, we must become living spirits in Heaven.  As Peter’s vision shows, “Thy Kingdom come” means “Your children, “the son-suns”, RISE UP TO STAND BEFORE YOU, Acts 10:9-16, 28, Psalm 49:20 and Romans 14:7-13.  These are the ones who are MADE PERFECT IN SPIRIT whom You desire to worship You”.

John 4:21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

It is not Father’s will that one human being He created shall perish and Jesus will lose nothing!

Glorify God!
God did it!
