In Psa. 72 we see the reigning Solomon typifying the reigning Christ in His kingdom; He will reign over the whole earth, for He will recover and restore the earth, and of His kingdom, there will be no end. Hallelujah for the coming reigning Christ! When He came in His incarnation, in His first […]
Our God is the King of the ages – He Reigns in our Hearts by Lovingkindness and Truth
God is the King of the ages, the One with absolute authority for eternity, who never changes; Christ is our King reigning in our hearts, and we live under His kingship. Amen! On one hand, what we see in Judges is lawlessness, immorality, rebellion, corruption, and rottenness; on the other hand, we as believers in […]
God will recover His full title and right over the earth through Christ’s reign
In psalm after psalm we see how God’s intention is clearly to recover the earth and bring it under His rule – read how Psalms 2-22 and Psalms 24-89 show us that Christ will possess the earth and will rule through the church over the whole earth. The subject of the Psalms can be incapsulated […]
at His second return Christ will recover the earth and solve all the problems of humanity!
There are so many problems in this world – there are many vices, the political system is very unhealthy, there are many contradictions in the human institutions, the future looks gloomy… The more people consider this situation, the more they are confused – and the more problems come! How can someone survive in the next generation? There is food shortage, there’s much injustice, the prisons are full with people, there are crisis between nations, cultures, races, religions, etc … What should our attitude be as Christians, as believers in Christ? Hallelujah, God has prepared a solution for all these problems! It is not through our doing something today outwardly, but it is at the Lord’s second return that all these problems will be solved!

the reigning of Christ will be in righteousness and in justice, by which peace will be ushered in
Today we as believers in the Lord need to learn to submit to the Lord’s throne – we need to set Him as the King in righteousness in our being. As Matt. 6:33 says, we seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all the other things that we need will be added to us. The reality of the kingdom today is in the church life – here we learn to live out the righteousness expressed by keeping the new law of the kingdom. In other words, in the church life today we learn to live out Christ as our righteousness. When we live out Christ as our righteousness in the church life, we have peace!
Christ as a man is our king, our refuge, our covering, our streams of water, and our real air conditioning!
Just like the song says, “Be specific for reality / And be done with generality / if we’ll just apply Him, we will see / He’s everything to us” – Christ in Isaiah is so much, but we can experience Him so specifically for our present situation, our specific need! He’s our drink, He is […]
