What does It Mean to DELIVER The KINGDOM?
1 Corinthians 15:23-24 KJV — But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming. Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
JESUS Delivered His BODY.
[Revelation 12:2 KJV] And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
CHRIST Is The HEAD of The BODY, so New Jerusalem is CHRIST’S HEAD.
the dragon had 7 heads
[Revelation 12:3 KJV] And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
his twisted tail of a false church drew a third of Christians. the dragon wanted to devour The BODY Of CHRIST. the dragon used The HEAD Of The BODY to make the beast and false prophet. they are in the next chapter. (ham saw his father’s nakedness) cain had a walled city of darkness …same type of children. false churches that look like they would Save you.
[Revelation 12:4 KJV] And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
The BODY Of CHRIST was Delivered so it did exist during catholics. The gates of hell will not prevail.
So what happened right before? 70 A.D. Chapter 11, Until His enemies were under His FEET. prideful Israel.
[Revelation 11:15 KJV] And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
[Revelation 11:18 KJV] And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
they were destroying The Relationship with GOD …earth.
His BODY KINGDOM was Delivered so that they could be BORN Of The SPIRIT.
They could see The KINGDOM …but they couldn’t Return from It until He Returned:
John 3:3-7 KJV — Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born? Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
Early and Latter Rain:
1 Corinthians 15:20 KJV — But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
[Matthew 27:52-53 KJV] And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,
[53] And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.
James 5:7-9 KJV — Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door.
This didn’t change Subjects between Verses, GOD Being ALL IN ALL is related to being Born Again: The SON’S BODY Becoming Subject to GOD is Another Big Key.
1 Corinthians 15:28-29 KJV — And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all. Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?
They could die in CHRIST, but they couldn’t be Born Again yet, they had to wait:
Revelation 6:9 KJV — And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
our own pride Cross wasn’t A Two-Way Door until we could Return from Heaven as His Saints.
That’s Why It Says In and Out. They couldn’t go out yet. There wasn’t A REDEEMED BODY Yet, Only HIS HEAD. That’s Why they were set in Heavenly Places beforehand. HIS Return was The Start of HIS BODY Of Saints!
John 10:7-9 KJV — Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
JESUS Prepared a Place for you (John 14:2-4) …The Narrow Way of HIS FEET. He Is The Author and Finisher of your FAITH. You didn’t Finish your Race until you Returned from Heaven:
[Galatians 3:25 KJV] But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
Earth is His Footstool …REST (The RELATIONSHIP). Between Ascension and His Return, enemies of THE WAY were being sorted.
we are called gods …we control our own body. CHRIST Controlled His Own KINGDOM BODY until the enemies of THE WAY were under His FEET …Judged.
John 10:32-36 KJV — Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?
Psalm 82:1 KJV — A Psalm of Asaph. God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.
Psalm 82:5-8 KJV — They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course. I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes. Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.
A Throne Is A HEAD. When you get on a Cross to Overcome pride, you are Granted in CHRIST’S BODY …The TEMPLE was Opened in 70 A.D.: CHRIST Was on A Cross to Make your Cross Do This!
[Revelation 11:19 KJV] And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.
Revelation 3:20-21 KJV — Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
Colossians 2:10-14 KJV — And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
So back to Rev 12. CHRIST’S HEAD Gave Birth to HIS BODY. HE IS The BREAD Of LIFE. You need to be That Bread from Heaven That Returned to have Everlasting LIFE. No one Born of THE SPIRIT is choosing death anymore …that’s called Everlasting LIFE. If you Know GOD, you stop choosing death.
FOOTSTOOL. The ROCK. The Two-Way BRIDGE Between Heaven and Earth. A Two-Way Relationship.
[Genesis 28:12 KJV] And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.
the tower of babel was about mimicking what would be Jacob’s Ladder. the false church is an artificial relationship with GOD.
CHRIST’S KINGDOM BODY BECAME GOD’S KINGDOM in 70 A.D.
CHRIST As A HEAD and GOD Are Now In The SAME BODY/Throne. THE SPIRIT. ONE SPIRIT. The Returning Saints today are Married to GOD and say come.
Revelation 22:17 KJV — And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
John 20:12 KJV — And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.
This Next Verse is yet another Giant KEY:
JESUS’ REDEEMED BODY Is Now The Temple OF GOD, so you want to be a Pillar of It.
We don’t go out into pride worldliness anymore.
We get Sealed.
New Jerusalem Is GOD’S Now That Saints can Return from Heaven.
Revelation 3:12 KJV — Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.
The Redeemed BODY Of CHRIST wasn’t there yet, but the people waiting in Heavenly Places was:
[Romans 7:4 KJV] Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.
