Welcoming God's Kingdom Rule

Welcoming God's Kingdom Rule

Welcoming God's Kingdom Rulership

The Theocratic Kingdom
was designed by God, Jehovah
to seize the rule of planet earth
when this violent age is over

Christ will be God's chosen king
in this government Divine
where justice is the leading force
with a ruler that is kind

The days of human fallacy
where leaders play the fool
have come to their fated end
because God found them cruel

The kingdom that Christ prayed for
is near to take its stand
The government that he'll install
is from Jehovah's Hand

Kingdom supporters around the world
will welcome their Anointed King
When at Last they can enjoy
What The Kingdom Blessings Bring

Christ prayed to Jehovah God, saying -
"Come and set up YOUR Kingdom,
so that everyone on earth will obey you,
as you are obeyed in heaven."
(Matthew 6:10)(CEV)-BibleGateway

putting an end to the present temporal age...."

God's Kingdom Will Rule The Earth

"...And You have made them a kingdom
and priests to our God,
and they shall reign as kings
over the earth. "
(Revelation 5:9,10)(AMP)-BibleGateway

"Endow the KING with your justice, O God,
the ROYAL SON with your righteousness.
He will judge your people in righteousness,
your afflicted ones with justice.
He will defend the afflicted among the people
and save the children of the needy;
he will crush the oppressor.
He will endure as long as the sun,
as long as the moon, through all generations.
He will be like rain falling on a mown field,
like showers watering the earth.
In his days the righteous will flourish;
prosperity will abound till the moon is no more.
He will rule from sea to sea
and from the River to the ends of the earth.
(Psalm 72:1,2,4-8)(NIV)-BibleGateway

"There will be no end to the increase
of His government or of PEACE,
On the throne of David and over his kingdom,
To establish it and to uphold it with
justice and righteousness
From then on and forevermore..."
(Isaiah 9:7)(NASB)-BibleGateway

"And my servant...shall be king over them;
and they all shall have one shepherd:
they shall also walk in mine ordinances,
and observe my statutes, and do them.
And they shall dwell in the land...for ever:
my servant shall be their prince for ever.
Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them;
it shall be an everlasting covenant with them;
and I will place them, and multiply them,
and will set my sanctuary
in the midst of them for evermore.
My tabernacle also shall be with them;
and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
And the nations shall know that I am Jehovah."
(Ezekiel 37:24-28)(ASV)-BibleGateway

".....after crushing the opposition,
he (Jesus) hands over his kingdom to God the Father. "
(1Corinthians 15:24)(MSG)-BibleGateway

"And Jehovah shall be King
over all the earth:
in that day shall Jehovah be one,
and his name one."

AGAINST  JEHOVAH
             AND
AGAINST  HIS  ANOINTED  ONE

Against Jehovah
and Against His Anointed One

"The kings of the earth set themselves,
And the rulers take counsel together,
Against Jehovah,
and against his anointed messiah."
(Psalm 2:1,2)(ASV) -BibleGateway

"The kings of the earth took their stand
and the rulers massed together as one
against Jehovah and against his anointed one."
(Acts 4:26)(NWT)

"The kings of the earth prepare for battle;
the rulers plot together
against the LORD (Jehovah)
and against his anointed one."
(Psalm 2:2)(NLT)-BibleGateway

Foretold in Advance

It was foretold in Bible Prophecy that all the Kings
of the Earth and their armies would do battle against
Jehovah God and against His Anointed One. 
Even the New Testament supports this prophecy,
as can be seen by the scriptures above.

Jesus is identified as the anointed one of Jehovah.

Jesus is Identified as
"Jehovah's Anointed One"

Jesus is Identified as
"Jehovah's Anointed One"

"...And he (Jesus) stood up to read.
The scroll of the prophet Isaiah
was handed to him.
Unrolling it, he found the place
where it is written:
"The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah
is on me, because HE HAS ANOINTED ME ...
and he began by saying to them,
"Today this scripture
is fulfilled in your hearing."
(Luke 4:16,17,21)(NWT)

Jesus was quoting from here :

"The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah is upon me;
because Jehovah hath anointed me...."
(Isaiah 61:1)(ASV)-BibleGateway

"And the Spirit of Jehovah
shall rest upon him,
the spirit of wisdom and understanding,
the spirit of counsel and might,
the spirit of knowledge
and of the fear of Jehovah.
And his delight shall be
in the fear of Jehovah;
and he shall not judge after the sight
of his eyes, neither decide after the hearing
of his ears; but with righteousness
shall he judge the poor,
and decide with equity for the meek of the earth;
and he shall smite the earth with the rod
of his mouth; and with the breath of his lips
shall he slay the wicked."
(Isaiah 11:2-4)(ASV)-BibleGateway

Jehovah Will Exalt His Anointed One.

"As for Jehovah, those contending against him
will be terrified; Against them he will thunder
in the heavens.  Jehovah himself will judge the ends
of the earth,  That he may give strength to his king,
That he may exalt the horn of his ANOINTED ONE ."
(1Samuel 2:10)(NWT)

The Details

...Then I saw... the kings of the earth
and their armies gathered together
to make war against
the rider on the horse and his army."
(Revelation 19:11,13-16,19)(NIV)-BibleGateway

The scriptures tell us that when Christ Returns to
the earth - he will wage warfare with the Kings of the
earth - and their armies and that he will destroy all
governments existing - to pave way for his Government
and his rulership.

"In the time of those kings,
the God of heaven will set up a kingdom
that will never be destroyed,
nor will it be left to another people.
It will crush all those kingdoms
and bring them to an end,
but it will itself endure forever."
(Daniel 2:44)(NIV)-BibleGateway

Christ Will Win The Battle
Christ Will Rule The Earth

"You, O king, are king of the earthly kings
to whom the God of heaven has given the kingdom,
the power, the might, and the glory."
(Daniel 2:37)(AMP)-BibleGateway

"Behold, my servant, whom I uphold; my chosen,
in whom my soul delighteth:
I have put my Spirit upon him;
he will bring forth justice to the Gentiles...
He will not fail nor be discouraged,
till he have set justice in the earth...
Thus saith God Jehovah,...."
(Isaiah 42:1-3) (American Standard Version)

"And the Spirit of Jehovah
shall rest upon him,
the spirit of wisdom and understanding,
the spirit of counsel and might,
the spirit of knowledge
and of the fear of Jehovah.
And his delight shall be
in the fear of Jehovah;
and he shall not judge
after the sight of his eyes,
neither decide after the hearing of his ears;
but with righteousness shall he judge the poor,
and decide with equity for the meek of the earth.
and he shall smite the earth
with the rod of his mouth;
and with the breath of his lips
shall he slay the wicked."
(Isaiah 11:2-4)(ASV)-BibleGateway

"For the LORD (Jehovah) declares,
'I have placed my chosen king on the throne...
`You are my son.
Today I have become your Father.
Only ask, and I will give you the nations
as your inheritance,
the ends of the earth as your possession.
You will break them with an iron rod
and smash them like clay pots....' "
(Psalm 2:1,2,4-12)(NLT)-BibleGateway

"...'He will rule them with an iron scepter;
he will dash them to pieces like pottery'
just as I have received authority from my Father."
(Revelation 2:25-28)(NIV)-BibleGateway

".....a son, a male child,
who will rule all the nations
with an iron scepter. "
(Revelation 12:5) (NIV)-BibleGateway

"The Father loves the Son
and has placed everything in his hands."
(John 3:35)(NIV)-BibleGateway

"In my vision at night I looked, and there before me
was one like a son of man, coming with the clouds
of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days
and was led into his presence.   He was given authority,
glory and sovereign power; all peoples, nations and
men of every language might serve him.
His dominion is an everlasting dominion
that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one
that will never be destroyed."
(Daniel 7:13,14)(NIV)-BibleGateway

A  DIRECT  CHALLENGE
TO  THE  POWER  STRUCTURES
OF  THIS  WORLD

A  DIRECT  CHALLENGE
TO  THE  POWER  STRUCTURES
OF  THIS  WORLD

 The gospel which Jesus preached is
a direct challenge
to the power structures of this world. 

Mankind does not often, think of it like that.

"Now then, you kings, act wisely!
Be WARNED, you rulers of the earth!
Submit to God's royal son,
or he will become angry,
and you will be destroyed
in the midst of your pursuits..."
(Psalm 2:10,12)(NLT)-BibleGateway

"Jesus'..."POLITICAL"  rhetoric he used in announcing
that God's rule was about to replace human rule,
led to mounting opposition toward him..."
- Global Encyclopedia; volume 11, pg.403 1968 edition.

So when we say that the gospel of Jesus posed a threat
to the established power structures, we cannot imagine
that he was simply offering an alternative political
solution.  He wasn't coming to propose a left-wing
alternative to a right-wing government, or vice versa.
He was offering a new world.

"But God has promised us...
a new earth, where justice will rule.
We are really looking forward to that!"
(2Peter 3:13)(CEV)-BibleGateway

"All the Gospels attest that Jesus ministry began
when he was baptized by John the Baptist and report
that at the moment of his baptism - a divine voice
was heard assuring him of his unique relationship
with God.  After this experience, he saw himself as
empowered and commissioned to announce the coming
of the Kingdom of God foretold by the prophets. 
As God's messenger, he summoned....to calling people
to prepare for the new age that was to be established
on  EARTH."
- Global Encyclopedia; volume 11, pg.403 1968 edition.

"...in this present age....

(Mark 10:30)(NIV)-BibleGateway

"...in this age - or - in the age to come."

Jesus, then, has come NOT to offer yet one more
political alternative but to break the stranglehold
that the powers have on the world.

Evil influence upon human governments.

Jesus offers a new world,
a world in which Jehovah is God
and where Christ is King.

"And it shall come to pass,
that from one new moon to another,
and from one sabbath to another,
shall all flesh come to worship before me,
saith Jehovah."
(Isaiah 66:23) (ASV) -BibleGateway

"But thou, Bethlehem...
out of thee shall one come forth...
that is to be ruler in Israel;
whose goings forth are from of old,
from everlasting.
And he shall stand, and shall feed his flock
in the strength of Jehovah,
in the majesty of the name of Jehovah his God:
and they shall abide;
for now shall he be great
unto the ends of the earth."
(Micah 5:2,4)(ASV)-BibleGateway

" 'But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah,
are by no means least among the rulers of Judah;
for out of you will come a ruler
who will be the shepherd of my people Israel.'"
(Matthew 2:6)(NIV)-BibleGateway

"And I will set up ONE shepherd over them,
and he shall feed them.....
and he shall be their shepherd.
And I, Jehovah, will be their God...
(Ezekiel 34:23,24)(ASV)-BibleGateway

"For the Lamb...will be their shepherd;
he will lead them to springs of living water.
And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."
(Revelation 7:17)(NIV)-BibleGateway

"...and the Lord Jehovah will wipe away tears
from off all faces; and the reproach of his people
will he take away from off all the earth:
for Jehovah hath spoken it."
(Isaiah 25:8)(ASV)-BibleGateway

"He will wipe every tear from their eyes.
There will be no more death or mourning
or crying or pain,  for the old order of things
has passed away."
(Revelation 21:5)(NIV)-BibleGateway

This generous, loving God, has plans to rid this world
of the evils which have resulted from human abuse
of God-given freedom.

Jesus is the one person who had NEVER submitted to
the rulers of this world, the one who all along had
been free of them, who had lived as a free human being,
obedient to Jehovah God - the loving Sovereign over
the world.

Jesus NEVER submitted to the rulers of this world

"Christ was humble.
He obeyed God..."
(Philippians 2:8)(CEV)-BibleGateway

Christ's death is not a defeat, but a victory.
It is the dramatic reassertion of the fact that
God's love is sovereign, that the rulers of the world
do not have the last word, that the kingdom of God has
and will defeat the kingdom of Satan.

"and all the kings.... near and far,
one after the other - all the kingdoms
on the face of the earth...
...You will not go unpunished,
for I am calling down a sword
upon all who live on the earth,
declares the LORD Almighty.'"
(Jeremiah 25:26,29)(NIV)-BibleGateway

"and all the kings...far and near,
one with another;
and all the kingdoms of the world,
which are upon the face of the earth...
Ye shall not be unpunished;
for I will call for a sword
upon all the inhabitants of the earth,
saith Jehovah of hosts.
(Jeremiah 25:26,29)(American Standard Version)
Bible-Gateway

"Jehovah will roar from on high,
and utter his voice
from his holy habitation;
he will mightily roar...
against all the inhabitants of the earth.
A noise shall come even to the end of the earth;
for Jehovah hath a controversy with the nations;
he will enter into judgment with all flesh:
as for the wicked,
he will give them to the sword, saith Jehovah.
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts,
Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation,
and a great tempest shall be raised up
from the uttermost parts of the earth.
And the slain of Jehovah
shall be at that day
from one end of the earth
even unto the other end of the earth:
they shall not be lamented,
neither gathered, nor buried;
they shall be dung upon the face of the ground."
(Jeremiah 25:30-33)(ASV)-BibleGateway

The Entire World is under Satan's influence
(click-here)

The simple message of Jesus was
the "Kingdom of God".

That message included the following :

1. God is establishing His direct rule or government
 in the earth, and this government will be manifested
 through the Messiah (Psalms 2)

"...with Your blood You purchased men
unto God from every tribe and
language and people and nation.
And You have made them a kingdom -royal race-
and priests to our God,
and they shall reign as kings
over the earth!"
(Revelation 5:9,10)(AMP)-BibleGateway

"...His rule will extend from sea to sea
and from the River to the ends of the earth."
(Zechariah 9:10)(NIV)-BibleGateway

2. God will establish peace and judge and rule the earth
 in righteousness -  by means of his son (Psalms 98:9)

"May the nations be glad and sing for joy,
for you rule the peoples justly
and guide the nations of the earth."
(Psalm 67:4)(NIV)-BibleGateway

"...See, your king comes to you,
righteous and having salvation,
gentle and riding on a donkey...
He will proclaim peace to the nations.
His rule will extend from sea to sea
and from the River to the ends of the earth."
(Zechariah 9:9,10)(NIV)-BibleGateway

3. God will hold every man accountable for the deeds
   of this life (Ezekiel 18:4)

".... each will  receive his own reward
according to his own labor. "
(1Corinthians 3:8) (NASB) -BibleGateway

"God will give to each person
according to what he has done."
(Romans 2:6) (NIV) -BibleGateway

4.  He will introduce a period of "restitution of all
   things" (Acts 3:21), that will ultimately result
   in the removal of the Adamic curse on mankind
  (Revelation 22:3);

"He(Jesus) must remain in heaven
until the time comes
for God to restore everything,
as he promised long ago
through his holy prophets."
(Acts 3:21)(NIV)-BibleGateway

"...At the time that God
has already decided,
he will send Jesus Christ
back again."
(1Timothy 6:15)(CEV)-BibleGateway

5. When Christ has restored the earth and mankind back
   to Paradise conditions - he will then turn rulership
   back over to his Father - Jehovah God.  So that all
   things will be restored to what they were in the
   beginning before Adam and Eve had sinned against God.

"...after crushing the opposition,
he hands over his kingdom to God the Father.
When everything and everyone is finally under God's rule,
the Son will step down,
taking his place with everyone else,
showing that God's rule is absolutely comprehensive
--a perfect ending!"
(1Corinthians 15:24,28)(MSG)-BibleGateway

"And Jehovah shall be King
over all the earth:
in that day shall Jehovah be one,
and his name one."
(Zechariah 14:9)(ASV)-BibleGateway

Some implications of these foundational points
concerning the establishing of God's kingdom reveal
that every form of human government
(international, national, state and local) will be abolished.
Every constitution written will be voided because
the government will "rest on His shoulders" (Isaiah 9:6).

"Yet I have set my king Upon my holy hill of Zion.
I will tell of the decree:
Jehovah said unto me,
Thou art my son;
This day have I begotten thee.
Ask of me, and I will give thee the nations
for thine inheritance,
And the uttermost parts of the earth
for thy possession."
(Psalm 2:6,7)(ASV)-BibleGateway

"...Jehovah will judge the ends of the earth;
And he will give strength unto  'his' king..."
(1Samuel 2:10)(ASV)-BibleGateway

The battle will be with the rulers of the world,
the power structures who have organized themselves
and their authority in opposition to Jehovah God
and his chosen KING.

"Why do the nations rage,
And the peoples meditate a vain thing?
The kings of the earth set themselves,
And the rulers take counsel together,
Against Jehovah,
and against his anointed messiah."
(Psalm 2:1,2)(ASV) -BibleGateway

"...Why did the nations rage?
why did the people waste their time
with futile plans?
The kings of the earth prepared for battle;
the rulers gathered together
against the Lord
and against his Messiah."
(Acts 4:25,26)(NLT)-BibleGateway

"and who through holy spirit
said by the mouth of our forefather David,
your servant, ‘Why did nations become tumultuous
and peoples meditate upon empty things?
The kings of the earth took their stand
and the rulers massed together as one
against Jehovah and against his anointed one.’
in order to do what things your hand and counsel
had foreordained to occur.
And now, Jehovah, give attention to their threats,
and grant your slaves to keep speaking your word
with all boldness."
(Acts 4:25,26,28,29)(NWT)-BibleGateway

...Then I saw... the kings of the earth
and their armies gathered together
to make war against
the rider on the horse and his army."
(Revelation 19:11,13-16,19)(NIV)-BibleGateway

The scriptures tell us that when Christ Returns to
the earth - he will wage warfare with the Kings of the
earth - and their armies and that he will destroy all
governments existing - to pave way for his Government
and his rulership.

"In the time of those kings,
the God of heaven will set up a kingdom
that will never be destroyed,
nor will it be left to another people.
It will crush all those kingdoms
and bring them to an end,
but it will itself endure forever."
(Daniel 2:44)(NIV)-BibleGateway

1914 - The Beginning
  of "The End"

“The appointed times of the nations”
began in 607 B.C.E. and ended in 1914 C.E.

HOW  IS  THE  "1914"  CALCULATION  FIGURED ?

 (Calculation of 1914)
**************************************
Prophetically referring to Jesus as "Lord,"
King David said:
"The utterance of Jehovah to my Lord is:
'Sit at my right hand
until I place your enemies
as a stool for your feet.'"
(Psalm 110:1)(ASV) compare Acts 2:34-36

This prophecy indicates that Jesus' rulership
would not begin immediately after his ascension to heaven.
Rather, he would wait at God's right hand.
 (Hebrews 10:12, 13)

 How long would this waiting go on?

 When would his rulership begin?

The Bible helps us to find the answers.

The only city in all the earth upon which Jehovah placed his name
was Jerusalem. (1 Kings 11:36)

It was also the capital of a God-approved earthly kingdom
typical of God's heavenly Kingdom. Therefore, the destruction of
Jerusalem by the Babylonians in 607 B.C.E. was very significant.

This event marked the beginning of a lengthy interruption
of God's direct rule over his people on earth.

Some six centuries later, Jesus indicated that this period
of interrupted rule was still in effect, for he said:

"Jerusalem will be trampled on by the nations,
until the appointed times of the nations are fulfilled."
-Luke 21:24.

During "the appointed times of the nations,"
worldly governments would be allowed to interrupt
rulership approved by God.

That period began with the destruction of Jerusalem
in 607 B.C.E., and Daniel indicated that it would go on
for "seven times." (Daniel 4:23-25)

 How long is that?

The Bible shows that three and a half "times"
 equal 1,260 days. (Revelation 12:6, 14)

 Twice that period, or seven times, would be 2,520 days.

2 x 1260 = 2520 Symbolic Days
or 2520 Literal Years.

 By applying "a day for a year" to Daniel's prophecy
and counting 2,520 years from 607 B.C.E., however,
we arrive at the year 1914 C.E.
-Numbers 14:34; Ezekiel 4:6.

Calculation: 607 B.C. + 2520 = 1914 A.D.

*************************************

Noteworthy also is the fact that Jesus would sit
at Jehovah's right hand - until his enemies were
placed as a "footstool" for his feet.

"Thus saith Jehovah,
Heaven is my throne,
and the earth is my footstool..."
(Isaiah 66:1) (ASV) -BibleGateway

By ousting Satan and his demons (his enemies)
out of heaven - at the time of his kingdom setup -
and throwing them to the earth (his footstool),
where they are now confined -
fulfills this prophecy.

1914 -
The Kingdom Rule Begins

A key to understanding when Kingdom rule begins
is found in the words of Jesus. “Jerusalem will be
trampled on by the nations,” he said, “until the
appointed times of the nations are fulfilled.”
(Luke 21:24)

Jerusalem was the only city in all the earth
that was directly associated with God’s name.
(1 Kings 11:36; Matthew 5:35)
It was the capital of a God-approved earthly
kingdom. That city was to be trampled on by
the nations in that the rule by God over his people
was to be interrupted by worldly governments.
When would this begin?

The last king to sit on Jehovah’s throne in
Jerusalem was told: “Remove the turban,
and lift off the crown. . . . It will certainly
become no one’s until he comes who has
the legal right, and I must give it to him.”
(Ezekiel 21:25-27)

The crown was to be lifted off the head of that king,
and God’s rulership over His people was to be
interrupted. This happened in 607 B.C.E. when
the Babylonians destroyed Jerusalem.

During “the appointed times” that were to follow,
God would not have a government on the earth
to represent his rulership. Only at the end of those
times would Jehovah give the power to rule
to the one “who has the legal right”—Jesus Christ.
How long would that period be?

A prophecy in the Bible book of Daniel states:
“Chop the tree down, and ruin it. However, leave
its rootstock itself in the earth, but with a banding
of iron and of copper . . . until seven times themselves
pass over it.” (Daniel 4:23)

As we will see, the “seven times” mentioned here
are equal in length to “the appointed times of the nations.”

In the Bible, individuals, rulers, and kingdoms are
at times represented by trees. (Psalm 1:3; Jeremiah 17:7, 8;
Ezekiel, chapter 31) The symbolic tree “was visible to the
extremity of the whole earth.” (Daniel 4:11)

Thus, the rulership represented by the tree that was
to be chopped down and banded extended “to the
extremity of the earth,” involving the whole kingdom
of mankind. (Daniel 4:17, 20, 22)

The tree therefore represents the supreme rulership of God,
particularly in its relationship to the earth. This rulership
was expressed for a time through the kingdom that
Jehovah set up over the nation of Israel.

The symbolic tree was cut down, and bands of iron
and copper were placed upon the stump in order to
prevent its growth. This indicated that God’s
representative rulership on earth was to cease
its operation, as happened in 607 B.C.E.—
but not indefinitely.

The tree would remain banded until “seven times”
had passed. At the end of that period, Jehovah
would give rulership to the legal heir, Jesus Christ.
Clearly, the “seven times” and “the appointed times
of the nations” refer to the same time period.

The Bible helps us to determine the length of the
“seven times.” It equates 1,260 days with “a time [one time]
and times [two times, plural] and half a time”—
a total of three and a half “times.” (Revelation 12:6, 14)

This means that twice that number, or seven times,
is 2,520 days.

When we count 2,520 literal days from 607 B.C.E.,
we come to 600 B.C.E. However, the seven times
lasted much longer than that. They were still in progress
when Jesus spoke of “the appointed times of the nations.”
The seven times, therefore, are prophetic. Hence, we must
apply the Scriptural rule: “A day for a year.”
(Numbers 14:34; Ezekiel 4:6)

In that case, the seven times of earth’s
domination by worldly powers without divine
interference amount to 2,520 years.

Counting 2,520 years from 607 B.C.E.
brings us to 1914 C.E. That is the year when
“the appointed times of the nations,”
or seven times, ended.

This means that Jesus Christ began to rule
as King of God’s Kingdom in 1914.

Satan's Confinement to the Earth
Brings Woes

Mankind is feeling the effects of Satan's confinement
to the earth.    After his ousting from heaven - he has
nothing better to do than to afflict mankind in many different ways.
Although we cannot blame him for all our troubles -
mankind has certainly seen an increase in our woes in recent years.

"...woe to the earth and the sea,
       because the devil has gone down to you!
   He is filled with fury,
       because he knows that his time is short."
             (Revelation 12:12)(NIV)-BibleGateway

HOW  DID  THIS  COME  ABOUT   ?

"And there was war in heaven.
 Michael and his angels fought
against the dragon,
and the dragon and his angels
 fought back.
But he was not strong enough,
 and they lost their place in heaven.
 The great dragon was hurled down--
that ancient serpent
called the devil, or Satan,
 who leads the whole world astray.
He was hurled to the earth,
and his angels with him.
Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say:
   "Now have come the salvation
and the power and the kingdom of our God,
       and the authority of his Christ.
   For the accuser of our brothers,
       who accuses them before our God day and night,
       has been hurled down........
 Therefore rejoice, you heavens
       and you who dwell in them!
   But woe to the earth and the sea,
       because the devil has gone down to you!
   He is filled with fury,
       because he knows that his time is short."
(Revelation 12:7-12) (NIV) --BibleGateway

HOW HAS THIS
AFFECTED MANKIND ?

".....the whole world
 is under the control
of the evil one."
(1John 5:19) (NIV) -BibleGateway

You may have noticed in the prophecy recorded in Revelation
that the birth of the "Kingdom" is linked to this same time -
when Satan and his demons would be permanently removed
from heaven.    Yes - the Kingdom would be set up at the
very time that the heavens would be cleansed of the evil angels.

"The great dragon was hurled down--
that ancient serpent
called the devil, or Satan,
 who leads the whole world astray.
He was hurled to the earth,
and his angels with him.
Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say:
   "Now have come the salvation
and the power and the kingdom of our God,
       and the authority of his Christ.
   For the accuser of our brothers,
       who accuses them before our God day and night,
       has been hurled down........"
(Revelation 12:7-12) (NIV) --BibleGateway

Do we have any way of knowing
when this happened ?

Yes we do  - thanks to Bible Prophecy.

By Bible Prophecy and chronology -
1914 is the year that the Kingdom
was set up in heaven.

It was also the year when Satan and his demons
were thrown out of heaven.

^"Then I heard a voice from heaven shout,
'Our God has shown
his saving power,
and his kingdom has come!
God's own Chosen One
has shown his authority.
Satan accused our people
in the presence of God
day and night.
Now he has been thrown out !"
(Revelation 12:10)(CEV)-BibleGateway

How Safe Do You Feel ?

How Safe Do You Feel ?

BHUBANESHWAR, India (AP) - India on Sunday successfully test-fired
a medium-range nuclear-capable missile with a range of up to 300 kilometers
(180 miles), a defense ministry official said.

How Safe Do You Feel ?

Most people in the world today would reply to this question
without thinking twice.  Their Answer? -  "NOT Safe at All."
It's True.  Very few people in the world today - Feel secure.

And Why is That ?

The world is not only filled with Violence but it also
has the "Nuclear Threat" being spread from country to
country.  Even third world countries that are so poor,
their people are starving to death - still have managed
to find the money and the means to obtain nuclear armaments. 
Everyone is rallying to the war wagon, and threats are being
thrown back and forth between opposing countries. 
The Nations are in anguish, and the Leaders don't know
the way out.   No One feels safe anymore.

"...The nations of the earth will be troubled
and will not know what to do. .."
(Luke 21:25)(NLV)-BibleGateway

"...and upon the earth there will be distress,
trouble and anguish of nations in bewilderment
and perplexity without resources, left wanting,
embarrassed, in doubt, not knowing which way to turn."
(Luke 21:25)(AMP)-BibleGateway

Remember One Thing

There is one important Factor to remember - whenever you are feeling
insecure or worried about the world's problems, and the impending threat
of nuclear war. 

And What is that ?

Jehovah is in Control

Jehovah God is in control, and he will only allow Satan and Mankind
to go just so far.  Jehovah has his worshippers whom he has promised
to protect - so an all out nuclear war - would be out of the question.

We must also remember, that Jehovah God Will step in - when the time
is right - to stop all of this madness.  Jehovah will send his Savior to the earth,
when the timing is just perfect - to bring an end to the evils of this world.
When the wicked are cut off - you will see it.

"For evil-doers shall be cut off;
But those that wait for Jehovah,
they shall inherit the earth.
For just a little while longer,
and the wicked ones shall be no more:
Yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place,
and he shall not be.
But the meek shall inherit the earth,
And shall delight themselves
in the abundance of peace...
The righteous shall inherit the earth,
And dwell therein for ever...
Wait for Jehovah, and keep his way,
And he will exalt thee to inherit the earth;
When the wicked are cut off,
thou shalt see it."
(Psalm 37:9-11,29,34)(ASV)-BibleGateway

the innocent who are suffering under terrible oppression.
