LORD OF THE REALMS!
My IV treatment for my painful muscle disease was so difficult to try and get started yesterday the nurse walked away to get a Breath she said at one stage as I was in such pain “…But God…,” allowed me to think and meditate upon Him and some truths these past few days which I scribbled down concerning “LORD OF THE REALMS. ” I got through the treatment and honestly if it was not for His Word I could not go on ..,” But God…” Hope these thoughts encourage you
LORD OF THE REALMS…
God The Father “HIGHLY EXALTED” Jesus !-(Read Phil 2:9-11). “Highly exalted”comes from two words which speak of ” “over” and “to raise up, Lift up.” God delighted to raise His Son up from the dead and lift Him up and Over all Creation by seating Him On the Throne and All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Him- (Read Matt 28:18)…And confer on Him the honor as “LORD,” which speaks of greatness, ownership, Sovereignty, master… And over ALL Of Creation … Jesus is LORD…
WHERE is He LORD OF?
The day will come when it will be manifest “and every knee will bow,” which speaks of submission and “every tongue will confess…” “Tongue” here, refers to language.
There is not a language barrier when it comes to Jesus being acknowledged, submitted to and exalted. There will be no one who will not understand due to language difficulties for all will confess ” agree” and here speaks of “openly declaring ” Jesus is LORD!
THERE ARE THREE REALMS THIS WILL TAKE PLACE
1.HEAVEN.-
Who is in Heaven ?
Angels who will and do worship Him -( Read Rev 5:11) and believers, “No longer will there be a curse upon anything. For the throne of God and of the Lamb will be there, and HIS SERVANTS WILL WORSHIP HIM.” -( Rev 22:3). Note it is “His Servants” who are in Heaven. Not a denomination, though it is possible to be part of a denomination and be His servant. But it is also possible to be a part of a denomination and not be His Servant. There have been times I have asked people about their relationship with the Lord and they often revert to telling where they “go to church,” as if that equates to knowing Him personally! A “servant” is one whose will is swallowed up in the will of another to do His Will… It is ONLY His own, who are characterized by being servants of His who are there!
2.- ON EARTH-
Who is on earth?
BELIEVERS…
Believers who will upon seeing Him “on the day He comes to be glorified in His holy people and to be marveled at among all those who have believed. This includes you, because you believed our testimony to you.”-(2 Thes 2:10)
And the DISOBEDIENT…
“…when the Lord Jesus will be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels in flaming fire, dealing out retribution to those who do not know God and to those WHO DO NOT OBEY THE GOSPEL OF OUR LORD JESUS. These will pay the penalty of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power-(2 Thess 2:8-9)
“….and THEY DID NOT REPENT so as to give Him glory”-( Rev 16:9). THE DISOBEDIENT are characterized by refusal to repent and obey the Gospel and refusal to Repent so not to give Him glory!
3.- UNDER THE EARTH
Who is under the earth?
satan, demons, and those who refuse to repent so as to glorify Him- are there. They all without exception will openly declare Him in His rightful position. satan cannot go and try negotiate with God to agree to Confess Jesus in some side alley or in secret but not in front of the demons, so as not to lose face, as it were. The demons know who He is and already tremble “…Even the demons believe this, (“there is One God”) and they tremble in terror.”- ( James 2:19) and those who refused to obey the Gospel. The “religious” will be there who even called Him ” LORD, LORD…,” whom He says, “depart from Me you workers of iniquity I never knew you.”-{Read Matt 7:21-23}. They had a profession but never surrendered to Him! There will be no atheists who will mock, ridicule or set themselves up as their own “god,” they too will now and openly confess this Jesus they once denied … All of Hell will now and openly confess this Jesus whom God raised from the dead is LORD!
In These THREE REALMS;
ALL are UNDER His Sovereignty will join as one in submission…and openly declaring Jesus is LORD! He is OVER ALL and ABOVE ALL IN RANK, power, authority. He is King of kings and LORD of lords…”
WHY- did The Father HIGHLY EXALT JESUS ?
“… For His Glory!”- (v 11).
God will be glorified by all creation, past generations, present generations, future generations. There will be no doubters, atheists, when all of creation bow to Jesus Christ in submission to… And public declaration of Him…And receives that which is rightly due Him… Glory!
** Think on Him- The LORD of the Realms!
** Praise Him – The LORD of the Realms!
** Tell of Him – The LORD of the Realms!
…while there is still opportunity – good news “He is not willing any should perish but ALL come to repentance…” – (2 Peter 3:9)
Jesus Christ is LORD Of the Three Realms !:)
