Our Christ in His ascension and enthronement is the Ruler of the kings of the earth, and He carries out God’s administration by the seven Spirits of God burning before God’s throne and sent to the whole earth! Amen!
May the Lord enlighten us and bring us into a vision of the throne of God in the heavens, see the spiritual scene behind the physical situation, and realize that Christ is preeminent and He is the Ruler of the kings of the earth!
We need to realize that there is a throne in the heavens and God is on the throne; He rules over the universe, and He arranges all things for the fulfillment of His economy.
So behind the world situation with all its events and things there is a spiritual scene, something that God is doing and arranging behind the scenes to accomplish His purpose.
And in particular what God is working to do is to have Christ as the preeminent One, and this Christ is the Lion-Lamb who both redeems us and works in us to make us one with Him to rule and reign over all things.
Hallelujah, Christ is the worthy Lion-Lamb who can open the seals of God’s economy and carry out God’s purpose on the earth and in the universe!
There is a God-man on the throne – Jesus Christ, the God-man, and He is the Head of the Body!
We as the members of the Body of Christ on earth are one with Him, sitting with Him in the heavenlies, ruling and reigning with Him!
Christ as the Lion-Lamb not only accomplished redemption (as the Lamb of God) but also is ruling and reigning (as the Lion)!
Amen, Christ is exalted and enthroned, and He sends forth the seven Spirits of God as the seven lamps of fire to both intensify God’s organic salvation of the believers, and to prepare the world situation for the Lord’s return!
Christ in His ascension and enthronement is the Ruler of the kings of the earth, and He carries God’s administration by the seven Spirits burning before God’s throne! Wow!
These seven Spirits – which is not seven separate Spirits but one Spirit who has been intensified sevenfold – burn and run to-and-fro on earth to cause people to be uncomfortable, so that the situation would be readied for the final day!
Amen, God sovereignly rules, Christ administrates, and the seven Spirits operate and burn to get all things ready for the Lord’s return to smash the human government and bring the kingdom of God! Wow, hallelujah!
In His Ascension and Enthronement Christ is the Ruler of the Kings of the Earth!
In Rev. 1:5 we see that Christ in His ascension and enthronement is the Ruler of the kings of the earth! Hallelujah! For Him to be the Ruler of the kings of he earth means that He is far above the earthly rulers (Eph. 1:20-22; Phil. 2:9-11).
If we look at the situation on earth today we can see that there are many kings, presidents, prime-ministers, and rulers; apparently these all are great and powerful persons, and they think they can do many great things.
All the rulers and kings and heads of state today are part of today’s human government, and they think they can speak and do powerful things.
But then God allowed this virus to run wild on earth, and in this pandemic situation, everyone is brought to ground zero, for nothing is up to them or under their control.
But praise the Lord, the God of the heavens, the ascended Lion-Lamb is above all the kings! Jesus is the real king, the real Lord!
In the past people like Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, or other people who thought they are great and amazing, they thought they control the world situation; but where are they now? The real king is Jesus Christ; the real Ruler of the kings of the earth is Jesus Christ!
Even our own calendar shows us that we are under the rule of Jesus; we are under the rule of him whose calendar we use. Many people unconsciously and unknowingly are under the rule of Jesus Christ, because we use His calendar.
Jesus Christ in His ascension and enthronement is the Ruler of the kings of the earth!
The earthly rulers are not the real rulers; they are here today and gone tomorrow, but Christ, the King of kings and the Lord of lords, He is the real ruler (Rev. 19:16).
He has on His garment and on His thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. Amen! Jesus implies incarnation, Christ indicates He is God’s anointed One.
He was the faithful Witness in His human living, He is the Firstborn of the dead in His resurrection, and in His ascension and enthronement Christ is the Ruler of the kings of the earth! Amen! Right now, Jesus Christ is Lord and Head of all!
And when He returns, He will rule over all nations, for He will come to reign in His kingdom!
He is the Ruler of the kings of the earth in His ascension, in the present situation, and in His coming back! Hallelujah!
When we say that Jesus Christ in His ascension and enthronement is the Ruler of kings we say that He is far above all kings, queens, presidents, prime-ministers, lords, nobles, and rulers.
In a very real sense Christ as the Ruler of the kings dethrones all the kings; only He is the Ruler.
He is the Leader, the chief Ruler, the Administrator of today’s universe. God made the Lord Jesus Christ the Ruler and exalted Him as the Leader; He is the Ruler of the kings of the earth to administrate God’s plan for man, and He administrates the entire universe for the purpose of fulfilling God’s eternal plan!
Praise You Lord Jesus Christ! You are the Ruler of all the kings of the earth! Hallelujah, God has exalted Christ to be the Lord and the Leader, the Ruler of all the kings of the earth to administrate God’s plan for man! Praise the Lord, the situation in the whole universe is not under the human leaders but under Christ as the real Leader, the real Ruler, the real King of kings! Hallelujah, Christ in His ascension and enthronement is the Ruler of the kings of the earth, far above all the earthly rulers!
Christ carries out God’s Administration as the Ruler of the kings of the earth by the Seven Spirits of God burning before God’s Throne!
How does Christ carry out God’s administration today? It is quite amazing to realize that today, in the age of Revelation, we can see the Triune God doing things as one, in their union, mingling, and coninhering in one another.
The Father God rules over all things, and He has enthroned Christ to be the Ruler of the kings of the earth to carry out God’s administration.
And Christ carries out God’s administration by the seven Spirits of God burning before the throne of God (Rev. 1:4; 4:5; 5:6).
We today are in the age of Revelation, where everything is intensified; Christ is intensified – He is no longer a mild, lovely, sweet One, but He is overcoming and conquering, both a Lamb for our redemption and a Lion to defeat God’s enemy.
The Spirit of God is also intensified – today we have the seven Spirits of God who are before the throne of God; it is not seven separate or distinct Spirits but one Spirit that was intensified sevenfold!
Just as in a dark room we need to intensify the intensity of the light to shed light in all the corners of the room, so the Spirit was intensified sevenfold to counteract the degradation of the church.
These seven Spirits are likened to the seven lamps of fire burning; this burning is not like a little fire giving us some heat, but it is an intense burning flame burning before the throne!
Furthermore, these seven Spirits are sent into all the earth to carry out God’s administration. The seven Spirits are burning in China, North Korea, Russia, all the African countries, India, USA, and all the countries on the earth to carry out God’s administration.
All the world rulers are under the flaming of the seven Spirits (Rev. 1:5).
Look at the world leaders today: they don’t know what to do, they try to make plans but things don’t pan out as they assume, and they realize that what’s happening is not up to them.
The burning of the seven Spirits is not here to merely warm us up or give us some heat; the burning is here to burn us, judge us, and make us feel uncomfortable.
We don’t want to be next to such a burning fire; it is pleasant to be next to a warm fire during the winter, but the burning of the seven Spirits is to intensify God’s organic salvation (for us, the believers) and to cause all the earth dwellers to feel uncomfortable and dissatisfied.
These days, whether the rulers, kings, or common people, all feel uneasy with how we live, where we live, what’s going on, for there’s an invisible flame burning and upsetting them.
The whole world situation and all the international affairs are under the flame of the burning of the seven lamps of fire, the seven Spirits of God (Rev. 4:5).
Because of the pandemic spreading across the earth today, treating the whole world like one big piece of land without any boundaries or separations, there are flames of fire burning every continent, country, nation, and human being!
In a dynamic and powerful way, all the countries and people are burned, judged, quickened, and put on the alert; no one can be callous or lose anymore.
We need to realize that the seven Spirits of God are burning before the throne not only concerning the churches but also concerning the world situation for the churches (Rev. 1:4-5; 22:16).
On one hand the seven Spirits are burning and searching and infusing us to intensify God’s organic salvation and produce us as the overcomers for the Lord.
On the other hand, the seven Spirits carry out God’s administration to judge, burn, and cause things to be unsettled and uneasy, for the whole world situation to be prepared for the Lord’s return! Wow!
The seven Spirits bring forth the proper and needed judgement on this rebellious earth, and they also purify God’s people to be the golden lampstands as the testimony of Jesus!
Hallelujah, Christ carries out God’s administration as the Ruler of the kings of the earth by the seven Spirits of God burning before the throne of God! Amen, Lord, we open to Your shining, Your burning, Your searching, and Your judging; work in us to intensify Your organic salvation and produce us as Your overcomers in these last days. Have Your way to burn and judge all over the earth among all the nations to carry out Your administration on earth. Amen, Lord, we believe that the world situation and international affairs are under the flame of the burning of the seven lamps of fire, the seven Spirits of God!
