New World Order, One World Government 10-17-08

Good morning, Lord Jesus. Lord of heaven and earth, King of kings and Lord of lords, be King and Lord of every area of my life today. ... "Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, 'The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Messiah, and He will reign forever and ever' " (Revelation 11:15). One day there will be a new world order, a one world government. It will be Your order and Your government. There will be "a new heaven and new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth (will have) passed away" (Revelation 21:1). Even now, as from the beginning, You are aligning and redeeming and creating all things in accordance with Your eternal plans for the government of Your eternal kingdom. "And the One who is seated on the throne said, 'See, I am making all things new.' Also, He said, 'Write this, for these words are trustworthy and true.' Then He said to me, 'It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give water as a gift from the spring of the water of life. Those who conquer will inherit these things, and I will be their God and they will be My children' " (Revelation 21:5-7). As was said of Your coming as Messiah, King, and Lord long ago, "The government will rest upon (Your) shoulders" for You are our "Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace" and the kingdom of Your government will increase and "never end" (Isaiah 9:6-7, NLT). As from the beginning, Your Holy Spirit continues to move over the waters and the ways of earth, bringing order out of chaos and light out of darkness (Genesis 1:1-3). By a grace and love for us we can't fully imagine or understand, You have humbled Yourself to live among us and lay Your life down for us so that we can live our lives forever in You (Philippians 2:5-11; Galatians 2:20). And every moment of every day that we choose to humble ourselves in trusting faith and complete surrender to Your authority, Your kingdom comes and Your will is done on earth and in our lives, as it is in heaven. In this way, we respond to the call for Your one world government and new world order: "In your hearts, sanctify Christ as Lord ... so as to live the rest of your earthly life no longer by human desires but by the will of God" (1 Peter 3:15 through 4:2). And at the same time, though Your kingdom has come with Your first coming, it will not fully come on earth as it is in heaven until Your second coming. There is still a battle for the hearts and minds of men and a war within our souls (Romans 7:23). There is still an enemy of our souls seeking whom he will devour (1 Peter 5:8). He appears as an angel of light; he comes with false wonders, false signs, and false promises, as a false messiah with his false apostles, prophets, and followers (2 Corinthians 11:13-15; Matthew 24:24). For a season it will seem that he prevails on the earth as he tries to establish the government of his kingdom, but he will not ultimately prevail (Daniel 7:21-27). There is only the false because there is the truth; there is only the counterfeit because there is the real thing; there is only a false new world order and one world government because there is the true world order and government; and there is only an antichrist because there is a true Christ. To this day, the so-called "god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God" (2 Corinthians 4:4). "Every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. And this is the spirit of antichrist, of which you have heard that is coming; and now it is already in the world" (1 John 4:3). You alone are our true Savior and Lord. You alone are "the Anointed One of God" -- "Messiah" in the Hebrew language of the Old Covenant and "Christ" in the Greek language of the New Covenant. You alone are "the Ancient of Days" who will be "coming with the clouds of heaven" so that Your "dominion is an everlasting dominion that shall not pass away, and (whose) kingship is one that shall never be destroyed" (Daniel 7:13-14). The identity and deeds of this false Messiah and his false government will be exposed and destroyed in the light of the glory of Your coming, when You fulfill and fully establish the true kingdom of Your new world order and one world government (2 Thessalonians 2:1-12). All creation "waits with eager longing" for the coming of that day and the revealing of the glory of Your kingdom in Your children and throughout all the earth (Romans 8:19-21). In the certain hope and knowledge of Your eternal truth and plan for Your eternal kingdom on earth as it is in heaven, we choose to believe by grace "that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory about to be revealed to us" (Romans 8:18). Lord Jesus, You said, "See, I am coming soon; My reward is with Me, to repay according to everyone's work. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end" (Revelation 22:12). The Spirit and the bride say, "Come, Lord Jesus, come!" (Revelation 22:17). In Jesus' name I pray, Amen. Be encouraged today!
