THE EMPIRE OF GOD - composed

Factors of the Kingdom :

- Territory

- Subjects

- Law

- Ruler

- Throne

 

Evidence that the world belongs to the Kingdom of God :

1. God created the Earth - territory, so it belongs to Him.

"For My whole land" (Ex 18.9).

2. God created man, so people are citizens of His Kingdom.

"So God created man" (Gen 1.27).

3. God as Creator has a natural right to rule, and He therefore gave a dramatic act of His reign - the Ten Commandments.

"God hath spoken and all these words..." (Ex 20.1).

4. As the creator, He shall have the right to control and other intelligent existence you. God is the ruler.

"Kingdom It all has" (Ps 102.19).

5. His throne in heaven, the third Heaven (yet).

"I know a man in Christ who... entranced was up to the third heaven, in paradise" (2 Cor 12.2-4). "And He showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as Crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb" (Rev 22.1).

 

All the worlds depend on it, subject to Him: therefore rejoice, o heavens, and there they were! (Rev 12.12).

Only true God has the right to govern the universe, and that is because He is the creator of everything in the universe.

Those who were unwilling to submit to His authority and for opposing humans His law condemned to destruction. "For behold, all souls are mine... the soul thus will die" (Ezek 18.4).

"Do not leave... neither root nor branch" (Mal 4.1).

OBEDIENT TO HIS LAW WILL ENJOY BLESSINGS -  PEACE, HAPPINESS, PROSPERITY.

"Come, ye blessed of My Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the Foundation of the world. And go... the righteous into life eternal" (Matt 25.34,36).
