Divine Rule? What is that?

It would be interesting to hear the responses from the average Christian if you inform them that there is coming a time when God’s government or divine rule would be established on Earth. That human governments would be no more and the returned Messiah, Jesus, the Christ, would be ruling from Jerusalem as King of all kings. In other words, Jesus is returning to overturn human rule and install divine rule. The truth is God will be establishing His own government.

I say this because to the average Christian, divine rule on Earth, is not their mindset. Their mindset is going to join God in heaven. Going to heaven is the reward of the saved, they believe, contrary to many scriptures, which point to the reality of Jesus’ one-thousand-year rule on Earth when He returns, otherwise called the millennium. If you believe in the Holy Bible, it’s not fiction, it’s fact; it’s not a matter of if it’s going to happen, it’s a question of when.

We look around at the social, economic and political order of our plant, and it should not be difficult to conclude that such state of affairs cannot be for much longer or last forever. Something is going to give way; even the climatologist, and scientists often speak of a ‘big crunch’ as opposed to the ‘big bang.’

One scientific source says this, “In about 1 billion years, our planet will be too hot to maintain oceans on its surface to support life. That’s a really long time away: an average human lifetime is about 73 years, so a billion is more than 13 million human lifetimes.

Long after that – about 5 billion years from now – our Sun will expand into an even bigger star that astronomers call a “red giant,” which eventually will engulf the Earth. Just as our planet existed for over 4 billion years before humans appeared, it will last for another 4 billion to 5 billion years, long after it becomes uninhabitable for humans.”

What then? Does the Creator of the universe, the Mastermind behind all the intricate details that go into creating and sustaining life up to this point in human history, has any plans for sustaining life into eternity? Sure he does! If that weren’t the case, He wouldn’t be God.

You see, our God, YAHWEH, the God of the Bible and the God who knows everything, the Omniscient One, has a master plan for His creation. The master plan is NOT about human beings going to heaven and that’s it. No, His appointed times for humanity outlined in His festivals or Holy Days (Gen. 1:14 and Lev. 23) offer hope for humanity.

The first order of the day when the Christ, the Messiah and Anointed One returns at His Second Coming is to establish His kingdom. Rev. 11:15-18, “Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!” ¹⁶ And the twenty-four elders who sat before God on their thrones fell on their faces and worshiped God, ¹⁷ saying: “We give You thanks, O Lord God Almighty, the One who is and who was and who is to come, because You have taken Your great power and reigned. ¹⁸ The nations were angry, and Your wrath has come, And the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that You should reward Your servants the prophets and the saints, and those who fear Your name, small and great, and should destroy those who destroy the earth.”

Dan. 2:44, “And in the days of these kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and ^]consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.”

The Word of God says it. Yes, divine rule is coming. No one can stop it although the “nations were angry.” Why? The thirst and grasp for power will become insignificant, meaningless. After the millennial reign of the Christ, Rev. 20-22 speaks of the New Jerusalem coming down to Earth and from there onwards a new civilization begins, a new constitution, a new age…it’s called eternity.

God’s people are now celebrating the fall festival season (beginning on the eve of September 23) where the clear picture of how divine rule will be established emerges. First, with the Feast of Trumpets (September 23), symbolic of the Second Coming; the Day of Atonement (October 2) signifying Christ’s atoning sacrifice for humanity to make eternal life possible and the bounding of Satan the Devil for one-thousand years; and the Feast of Tabernacles/Last Great Day (October 7-14), which pictures the millennial reign of the Christ and the Great White Throne judgment.
