Understanding your Kingdom
One cannot understand a kingdom without understanding its king. Every kingdom is a true reflection of its king or in some cases, its priests. This world has been subject to various kingdoms since shinar where they first attempted the tower of babylon up until the world government ruling us this day. These have been kingdoms set by the men and forces of their times, always by God’s will but seldom with God’s pleasure. The Kingdom of God as God would deem fit started with Jesus Christ and is coming to its consummation this moment even as we read.
A true kingdom is that which is within and without. In simpler words, it's not just an outward appearance but is within each one belonging to the kingdom. The language of the world is to force it from outside so that the inside will accept it, but God’s kingdom is from within first, then and now is the then, magnifying itself outside in flesh as much as in spirit within. Its totalitarian with God abounding and rebounding within and without.
Understanding your king
We lived in a slave world called democracy for so long that we never could understand the word king. A king is one who is above law, in essence, what he singularly says or wants is the law. When anyone is above law, then starts the language of pleasure ( Be mighty careful with this word, our whole existence depends on it ). As long as the king is pleased, so prosper the subjects around him. The kingdom is run out of king’s pleasure and no one dares invite an iota of his wrath.
For better understanding, remember the time you went to stand before law enforcers or those who are superior to you. How you had to wait, then stand or sit before them with trembling hands and earnest expectation. But here, we are speaking not just of a law enforcer, but the law giver himself. How much more trembling and awe should we be, in the presence of the owner of the land and all its lots, that is the king. This king has physical control over all people and things that are subjected within, but has no control over people or things without such as nature of the land he owns or the spirit of the people around and under his dominion. This is the order of the Flesh, which dominion started since Adam ate the fruit of knowledge, and it ends with earth.
Understanding your King
Not much difference from above except it comes with a capital ‘K’ and means the same. The real, true and absolute King, who is King above all such kings as mentioned above, both on earth and in heaven. He is Jesus Christ, the First and the Last. This King has both material and Spiritual entities in subjection to Him. And it is by this Spirit, Called the Holy Ghost, that He has been doing His wonderful, marvelous and beautiful work of creation. And as the psalmist, our beloved king David puts it, He bows down the heaven and comes down, meaning for the first time, the heavens bow down to earth, for such is the righteousness found on earth.
David fully comprehended the righteous rule of the Lord, so he did his humanly best in imitating it, with great success. So much strives he after the LORD with all his love and devotion that he took hold of the stronghold of Zion, the resting place of The LORD. Zion is that holy dwelling, or mountain, where one sees and hears The LORD face to face and all curtains are off. David brought Zion out of The LORD’s hiding and showed it plain to all men. Zion is where The LORD is. The King rests and sends out His rod/rule out of Zion. Period.
Understanding your David
Of all the kings that ruled this earth, David is the only exception. For he walked upright before The LORD. His rule was found favourable before The LORD because, he was in The LORD’s court as much as people were in his court. In other words, the king under the King. He always knew he was as accountable to The LORD as he was charging account to men. It is this understanding that is the foundation of Psalms. He lived a lonely life, that was incomprehensible to all those around, his subjects and his kin alike. They all undertook his orders in flesh, but in Spirit, they were a distant lot. That helped David perceive the LORD better, in the sense that subjection without inner love or loyalty is nothing. So, he subjected to The LORD with his whole self, but could not demand nor change the spirit of men around him. All his days, he prayed for the good of his nation, and good means, only that which is pleasing in the eyes of the Lord.
So then, the Lord saw that though David is with Him in Spirit, no one on earth could be found alike for David. That is when The LORD promised David saying your throne is good before me, and I will establish it forever. But as flesh is imperfect, so should David also pass away but there will come after him, One of his own seed, which is by Spirit, and that Spirit will establish David’s throne forever. This is the Order of Spirit and begins with the Heavens. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth fulfilled to the dot.
David prayed, lamented and waited for that day, when a generation would be made manifest, a generation called the seed of the Spirit of The LORD. Just like Jacob, the father of the tribes, so also this once, The LORD, the father of the tribes. A generation that would be called a nation full of Kings and Priests, just as The LORD is our King and Priest and we are made perfect in His image.
Understanding your God
As much hype is created around the World taking the word ‘God’, it's just fools who haggle in the dark. The LORD GOD is He that created Adam, gave his Covenant to Abraham, restored his pledge to Jacob, appeared to Moses in the bush, delivered Israel from babylon called egypt, established the Kingdom of David, spoke through the mouth of prophets in Israel, came in Person as Jesus Christ, known in Hebrew as Yeshua HaMashiach, testified in the mouths of the apostles and poured His Spirit upon whole mankind in the self-same name of Jesus Christ. His Spirit has been endlessly at work till now, for now is His Sabbath revealed to all. And this Sabbath is one and same Zion, the resting place of God, where we join Him to rule alongside Him. The difference being Sabbath is Zion revealed to men of the yester Generation.
Zion is the place of rest for The LORD, so when one seeks The LORD with all of himself, and should he ever succeed, he would have found out what The LORD has to speak from his place of rest, also called Sabbath. This is the meaning of the Word which says the law shall come forth of Zion. So that person who has succeeded is endowed with Truth for that particular generation. Just like Moses’ declared the Law to the generation of Israel and Jesus Christ is the declarer of the Generation that believed in Him. Out of Zion comes out the decrees for that generation.
