Maranatha!
The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly. And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God, Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned. And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth. And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail. (Revelation 11:14-19)
Reviewing
God (Jesus) has always reigned over all the kingdoms of the earth. He used Assyria to destroy Israel and Babylon to destroy Jerusalem, then destroyed each of them. He is and always will be in charge of the nations.
Jesus has made a new Covenant with Israel - but only the Israelites who accept Jesus (as Paul says) are the “true Israel” and are a part of it.
Don’t wait for Jesus to “finish” the job - He has completed His work. He is the “head” of His Church and we are His hands and feet to do His work while we are here. We need to do our job!
Matthew 28:18
And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.”
Matthew 28:18 (ESV): All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
Jesus ALSO reigns over hell. He is just.
Folks,
The BIGGER and MORE PROPER question is:
Does Jesus reign over you?
KUDOS!!! A good post. However I’m surprised that this guy even found a church trying to teach from the Word at all. Most Reformed presenters I have heard from are averse to that.
