Part 13 The glory of the latter house Part 1
Haggai 2:9 | The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts. |
GOD SAID HE WOULD REBUILD THE TAB DAVID
Amos 9:11 | In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old: |
Acts 15:16 | After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up: |
Now we know that the tabernacle of David was located on Mt Zion
As we and the church move on from Pentecost to Zion a whole new realm of God opens up to us.
Hebrews 12:22 | But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, |
23 | To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, |
The scriptures tell us that when the Lord builds again the Tabernacle of David, he will manifest himself to the church and the world in a new way.
Psalms 102:16 | When the LORD shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory. |
18 | This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the LORD. |
When we understand this background we will begin to see what God has in store for the end-time church
THE RESTORATION OF THE FIRST DOMINION
Micah 4:7 | And I will make her that halted a remnant, and her that was cast far off a strong nation: and the LORD shall reign over them in mount Zion from henceforth, even for ever. |
8 | And thou, O tower of the flock, the strong hold of the daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it come, even the first dominion; the kingdom shall come to the daughter of Jerusalem. |
TO THOSE IN ZION WILL COME THE RESTORATION OF THE FIRST DOMINION
What is the restoration of the first dominion?
Genesis 1:26 | And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. |
28 | And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: |
Man was originally endowed with great dominion in and over the earth
This dominion was over the entire earth, Animal, Vegetable. Mineral, and Spiritual.
Psalms 8:4 | What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? |
5 | For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. |
The word angels in this verse is the Hebrew word elohiym, meaning God. The translators had a problem doctrinally with this so they translated it as ANGELS
What this verse literally says is this: Thou hast made man a little lower than God. This is a rank far greater than angels.
Psalms 8:6 | Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all [things] under his feet: |
This is an incredible statement; God put all things under Adams feet.
Adam and Eve had the title deeds to this earth, with the mandate to bring heaven to earth.
Previous to this Lucifer had sought to exalted himself above God, but it was never God’s intent that Angels would be higher that God. Lucifer resented this and the pride of his heart deceived him into thinking that he could overthrow God; he was cast out of heaven. When God Gave Adam the jurisdiction of this earth Satan greatly resented this also, and would seek to take it from Adam, which he did.
Satan now had the title deeds to the earth, he now had dominion over the earth, and with this he gained a new name or title
John 12:31 | Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. |
II Corinthians 4:4 | In whom the god of this world |
Luke 4:6 | And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it. |
THEY WERE HIS BY LEGAL RIGHT
However back in Eden God had said this
Genesis 3:15 | And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. |
SATANS HEADSHIP WOULD BE CRUSHED
John 12:31 | Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. |
32 | And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all [men] unto me. |
JESUS WAS SAYING THAT BY HIS DEATH HE WOULD CAST SATAN OUT OF HIS POSITION IN THE EARTH
I John 3:8 | For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. |
Hebrews 2:14 | Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; |
JESUS TOOK BACK THE DOMINION OF THE WORLD
AND THAT DOMINION WAS TRANSFERRED TO HIS SONS
Luke 10:19 | Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. |
The problem is, the church has never entered into this; mainly because of unbelief.
God had said that He would rebuild the Tabernacle of David and when He did the first dominion given to man would be restored. We have not yet seen this; the dominion that Adam had was given to him by God and was all inclusive in terms of his rulership over this earth. This was not given to Angels but to Man and this dominion and rulership will always be in the hands of redeemed mankind
Hebrews 2:5 | For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak. |
6 | But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him? |
7 | Thou madest him a little lower than the God; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands: |
10 | For it became him, for whom [are] all things, and by whom [are] all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. |
We are being trained for rulership, to reign with the Lord in the coming Millennium reign of Jesus in this earth
Hebrews 10:12 | But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; |
JESUS NOW WAITS FOR HIS SONS O FINISH THE JOB
Hebrews 10:13 | From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool. |
THIS GENERATION WILL SEE MICAH 8:4 FULLFILLED
Micah 4:8 | And thou, O tower of the flock, the strong hold of the daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it come, even the first dominion; the kingdom shall come to the daughter of Jerusalem. |
The whole of creation is waiting for the sons of God to take their place and to take dominion over this earth
Dominion over Death, Disease, Demons, and Nature.
God said this to Moses:
Deuteronomy 11:25 | There shall no man be able to stand before you: [for] the LORD your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon all the land that ye shall tread upon, as he hath said unto you. |
God said; without a vision the people perish. If you don’t believe this kind of dominion is possible, then for you it is not. We have not arrived yet, there is much more land to posses. The Promised Land was a picture of walking with God in complete rest and peace, ruling and reigning with Him, as Co-Creators and Co-Rulers in His kingdom, Father and Sons unlimited.
You can only posses what you can see, if you cant see it you cant enter into it, but if by revelation you can see it, you can enter into it, because revelation from God carries with it all that is required to inter into it. With revelation there is released the power to succeed, to enter in.
John 11:40 | Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God? |
