Mysteries of The Kingdom & Israel
The message of the significance of Israel is foundational to the end-time structure God is building that He will return to! In these times of the summing up of all things the focus will be foundations and leadership. God intends to shake everything including His House, rebuild the foundations, cleanse the defilement in its walls, reset the Covering and prepare the Canopy of Glory He intended for it.
Everything taking place on the world stage right now is a result of this shaking—in the heavens and on Earth! The enemy may think he is doing the shaking, but God has a glorious plan in it all, and always outmanoeuvres the enemy—every time! It is important to understand the dynamics and significance of foundations, specifically of the House of God. The Lord intends to build His people and the foundations of His House to be able to stand during the shaking He is bringing on Earth and in the Heavens.
“…whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, “YET ONCE MORE I SHAKE NOT ONLY THE EARTH, BUT ALSO HEAVEN.” Now this, “YET ONCE MORE,” indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. For our God is a consuming fire.” Hebrews 12:26
God is buildin foundations in His people that cannot be shaken. Foundations that are secure, eternal, and immovable. He has said that unless He builds the House, that we labor in vain (Ps. 127:1). It is important in these times to love truth more than we love our opinions, as righteous as they may appear to us.
“According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it. For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.”1 Corinthians 3:10
Jesus’ Jewishness is a foundational first Stone laid in the House of God. Israel, His family, is significant to everything He puts His hand to, and is the Home He will return to. These is a non-negotiable facet of the House of God. Jesus is Israel! The name Israel means the one who rules as God. HJesus said that what is done to the least of these His brethren is done unto Him. In understanding the inseparable union of Jesus and Israel we can then begin to understand the mysteries of the Kingdom.
THE KINGDOM OF GOD
The Message of the Kingdom holds significant importance, providing essential insights crucial to the foundational building blocks of the House of God. These truths will be highlighted during the significant time of the climax of the ages.
God’s intention from the outset when He told Abraham to go to a certain land, was to invade planet Earth and set up a House for Himself, the Seat of His Kingdom where He would install His King. This land was where He would rule and be ministered to by a holy nation and a royal priesthood. Israel represents The Bridegroom, and Jerusalem represents His Bride.
“As a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments, And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.”Isaiah 61: 10
“For as a young man marries a virgin, So shall your sons marry you; And as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, So shall your God rejoice over you. I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem; They shall never hold their peace day or night. You who make mention of the LORD, do not keep silent, And give Him no rest till He establishes and TILL HE MAKES JERUSALEM A PRAISE IN THE EARTH. Isaiah 62:-7
God has said that the Land of Israel is His PORTION. In God’s plan to retake the Dominion of the Earth, Israel was established as a beachhead in its centre, in enemy territory. A transcendent supernatural Portal between Heaven and Earth was opened in this land where the work to establish God’s Kingdom on Earth began!
Beginning with Joshua, God led the armies of Israel to conquer and occupy this land and led them to the place where the Throne of the Kingdom of Heaven united to Earth would be firmly founded and secured. The Place He chose was Jerusalem, which became the City of God. This open portal is depicted by Jacob’s ladder connecting Heaven and Earth, where angels ascend and descend—a portal fulfilled in Christ.
“Then he dreamed, and behold, a ladder was set up on the earth, and its top reached to heaven, and there the angels of God were ascending and descending on it.” Genesis 28:12
“And He said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, hereafter you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man.” John 1:51
Within Jesus, who is the Messiah and Savior, and the Son of Israel, the union of the Throne of God in Heaven and in man became fixed eternally. Jesus became the Ladderand He is the Portal where men gain entrance and access to Heaven—established eternally in the City of God, Jerusalem, Israel. God’s people don’t have to go to Jerusalem, Israel, because Jesus is positioned there eternally in Spirit, and we are positioned in Him.
“Son of man, this is the place of My throne and the place of the soles of My feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel forever.” Ezekiel 43:7
This passage depicts the positioning of God’s Throne in heaven, with Earth as His footstool. In the chosen Holy Land, God designated the place and the City where His House and Throne would be built and eternally established—where His people would worship at His Divine Footstool.
“Let us go into His tabernacle; Let us worship at His footstool.” Psalm 132:7
“And of all my sons (for the LORD has given me many sons) He has chosen my son Solomon to sit on the throne of the KINGDOM OF THE LORD over Israel.” 1Chronicles 28:5
The Queen of Sheba recognized the supernatural, transcendent nature of Solomon’s Throne and kingdom. I believe she was She was drawn by God to go have a look! She said to Solomon:
“Blessed be the LORD your God, who delighted in you, setting you on His Throne to be king for the LORD your God! Because your God has loved Israel, to establish them forever,therefore He made you king over them, to do justice and righteousness.” And she gave the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold (15600 lbs), spices in great abundance, and precious stones; there never were any spices such as those the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.” In 2 Chronicles 9:8-9
From the time of the Babylonian occupation, until 1948, when the nation of Israel was born again and regained control of Jerusalem in 1967, Israel had been under the occupation of enemy powers. God’s Kingdom on Earth will be restored to Israel at the inauguration of the Messiah King when He returns in the fullness of the appointed time.
During His time with the disciples, they sought Him for guidance on how to pray, He taught them one prayer: Our Father in Heaven, Holy is Your Name! YOUR KINGDOM COME, ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN!
Within the words—On earth, as it is in Heaven, lies the fullness and completion of God’s plan—a time when the King and the Kingdom of Heaven will invade, conquer, and occupy the planet, and Jesus takes the seat of His Throne in Jerusalem. There is coming a HOLY OCCUPATION! This is our prayer; this is our war cry! On earth as it is in Heaven! The Kingdom is coming and will be united with Earth in Jerusalem—the Bride of God!
“The time is fulfilled, and THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS AT HAND.” Mark 1:15
Time is the Greek word kairos and means THE APPOINTED TIME. Fulfilled means completed, and at hand is eggizo: meaning to draw near—approaching.
When time reaches its fullness for something to occur, the appointed time has come and approaches with intentionality. In this heightened atmosphere, things begin to OCCUR SWIFTLY! The Kingdom of God advances and accelerates with power and fullness towards planet Earth.
I believe the Kingdom of Heaven and the fullness of time is swiftly approaching. A time when the fullness of the Kingdom will be restored to Israel and returned to the Messiah King in the line of David—Jeshua Messiah. Jesus ascended the ladder to Heaven from Jerusalem Israel, and at the appointed time of the Father, He will descend and return to Jerusalem Israel to rule from there over the Earth. Everything is now being perfected in Him for this event. The time is coming when all things will find their completion in Christ!
“…that in the dispensation of the FULLNESS OF THE TIMES He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth—in Him.” Ephesians 1:10
HEAVEN IS MANIFESTING ON EARTH
The book of Ephesians unveils the mystery of His will, purposed in Christ for the culmination of times when all things, both in Heaven and on Earth, will be brought together under Christ’s supreme Lordship. The celestial and terrestrial realms are beginning to converge as God’s sublime design unfolds, uniting everything in Heaven and on Earth in Christ. The world is resonating with signs on Earth, signs heralding the arrival of the King and His Kingdom such as wars, war with Israel and worldwide persecution of the Jewish people, earthquakes, and pestilence, all pointing to the imminent arrival of a new era.
Psalm 24 God speaks to the generation of Jacob’s descendants that seek Him, who desire to stand in His Holy Place. He tells Jerusalem to lift up these ancient Gates so that the King of Glory may come in. The Lord of Heaven’s Armies shall come into Jerusalem and all the world and shall experience the ecstatic excellence of His Glory.
Isaiah 60 declares of Jerusalem, that Gentiles shall come to her light. Kings will come to the brightness of her rising and the wealth of the world brought to her as the Queen of Sheba did! God’s tangible Glory will be seen over this City! Nations that do not serve God’s purposes embedded in this city shall perish. God says He will make this city an eternal excellence, Her walls represent salvation, and her gates praise. Jesus said that as they did it to the least of His family, they have done it to Him. There is a Day of Vengeance coming!
“…the LORD will come with fire And with His chariots, like a whirlwind, to render His anger with fury, And His rebuke with flames of fire.” Isaiah 66
YOUR KINGDOM IS ESTABLISHED FOREVER
“I will make the lame a remnant, And the outcast a strong nation; So the LORD will reign over them in Mount Zion from now on, even forever. And you, O tower of the flock, The stronghold of the daughter of Zion, To you shall it come, Even the former dominion shall come, The kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem.” Micah 4:7-8
“But the saints of the Most High shall receive the kingdom, and possess the kingdom forever, even forever and ever.’… until the Ancient of Days came, and a judgment was made in favor of the saints of the Most High, and the time came for the saints to possess the kingdom.” Daniel 7: 18-22
Israel is God’s key to BLESSING AND GLORY for all nations, through Christ. God’s intention was to bless the world through the blessings He bestowed on Israel. As He told Abraham, Isaac and Israel:
“IN YOUR SEED, ALL THE FAMILIES OF THE EARTH WILL BE BLESSED.” ALL NATIONS WILL GO UP FOR LIFE & DIRECTION.”
