Now consider: HOW did God's Government originate? Originally there
were only two living beings--GOD, and the WORD who almost 1,990 years ago
was born as Jesus Christ. In them was LIFE. They LIVED. What did they do? They
CREATED. HOW did they live? They LOVED one another--they cooperated --
they AGREED about everything. One had to be the leader. God was leader. The
WORD did as God directed, in LOVING COOPERATION. That WAY of life is
God's LAW. That spiritual law was the basis of God's GOVERNMENT.
The cherub Lucifer was put on earth's throne to administer God's
GOVERNMENT by that LAW. He and his angels rebelled. Adam and Adam's
world continued the REBELLION against God's LAW--his GOVERNMENT. Jesus
taught that GOVERNMENT. He put that way of life (GOVERNMENT) into his
CHURCH. Jesus came to REPLACE SATAN on earth's THRONE. Satan tried to
have Jesus killed as an infant. He tried to destroy Jesus spiritually when he
was 30
years old. JESUS CONQUERED SATAN, and thus qualified to REPLACE Satan on
earth's THRONE, restoring the GOVERNMENT OF GOD to this entire earth.
But Jesus did not take over that throne 1,900 years ago. First, it was
God's
will that the CHURCH grow and develop, so that when Jesus does take that throne
away from Satan, he will have sufficient God beings, born spiritually through
the
CHURCH, to fill all the places of GOVERNMENT under Christ to RULE the earth
GOD'S WAY.
That's why the Church must GROW in Christ's KNOWLEDGE, and in grace
or spiritual character, to be changed from mortal humans to immortal God beings,
ruling under and with Christ WHEN God's GOVERNMENT is RESTORED over the
whole earth.
The Feast of Trumpets foreshadowed Christ's coming in supreme POWER
and GREAT GLORY to TAKE OVER earth's throne--to set up the KINGDOM OF
GOD on the earth. The Day of Atonement foreshadowed the removal of Satan from
that throne and from the earth.
The Feast of Tabernacles pictures the 1,000-year Millennium under
Christ's
RULE over all nations--when salvation and eternal LIFE shall be offered to ALL
THEN LIVING, just as it was to Adam 6,000 years ago. Only this time CHRIST will
be on earth's throne to HELP them choose LIFE, instead of Satan who induced
Adam to reject LIFE and start Satan's world.
At the end of the 1,000 years will come the Great White Throne
JUDGMENT. All who ever lived prior to Christ's Second Coming, and who died,
without the knowledge of God's plan of salvation, will then be resurrected
mortal,
and judged. But, on being sentenced GUILTY, they will learn that Jesus came and
paid their death penalty in their place PROVIDED they then will repent and turn
to GOD'S WAY, obedient to GOD'S GOVERNMENT.
That, Brethren, is a brief synopsis of WHY Christ is coming again.
But there cannot be world PEACE until all are 100 percent obedient to God
in a right attitude of LOVE and submission to God's loving AUTHORITY. In the
Church we are commanded that all must speak the same thing as Christ does--all
