Wise and Faithful Servant

So step one, remove the demonic influence in it, so that that's not there. Now release people, who are in resurrection bodies and accessing heaven, in and out of heaven, to go and begin to work to change these things, to begin to educate them how they need to set them up, so justice is available for all. So there's huge things - so what will happen is, every sphere of life there'll be a change, and so that means that existing leaders in areas of society will be replaced. Think about it. I'll just show you a scripture here, this scripture here in Psalm 110, notice what it says: The Lord is at your right hand - Verse 5 - He shall execute kings in the day of His wrath. It says it in there. It's spiritual. He will judge among the nations - sounds like the second coming doesn't it? It says: and the places will be filled with dead bodies. And then it says: He shall execute the heads of many countries. There'll be no one resist Him. No one can resist His coming, and no one can resist His purpose. The devils are out of the way, so now it's just human beings, arrayed against the Lord and His anointed.

His anointed is the body of Christ, people who are serving with Him, so think about that. So what will happen then is people - someone's got to take over managing the food, water, the education, the finances, the political system, government - someone's got to actually be appointed in there to run it right, and someone's got to help them make it go right, and the people who'll be helping make it go right are those who have now got resurrection bodies, able to enter in and out of the earth's realm, and instruct and teach and minister and empower and impart and bring heaven to earth. Isn't this extraordinary? Yeah and just think, you know, Jesus could eat food while He was here, enjoy food. He sat down and had a feed with them. That raises a whole lot of things doesn't it aye?

So during the millennium period, all the kings of the earth will bow down to Jesus Christ, all the kings of the earth. See, have a look in Psalm 72. You can search - there's so many scriptures, I just brought out a couple to just get you thinking down this line. Great to think about this though isn't it? Because then you've got to say: well, what am I doing now? And if I'm waiting for it to burn up, I haven't got the kind of attitude that would make me of any use in that day. Seventy-two, Verse 11: all kings - all kings will fall down before Him, all nations shall serve Him, and He will deliver the needy when He cries, and the poor also that has no helper. He will spare the poor and needy, and save the souls of the needy, and redeem their life from oppression and violence, and precious shall be their blood in His sight. So He's talking again about the millennial kingdom, He's talking then about the attitude God has towards oppression and poverty. He will engage people. If they will not change they will be destroyed. It's very clear.

You can see it in Revelations, where it talks in Chapter 20, about Him coming on a white horse to make war. Now that's not nice, but He's determined that this earth, the kingdom will advance on this earth; and so what you've got is, you've got the period now, where we're in now, and that period covers two thousand years of history, and it's where the servants of God prove out and run their assignment, so they prove whether they're faithful for the thousand years; during the thousand years, they work with Christ to redeem the earth, and bring every part back into government order, into the order of the kingdom; and so there'll be a time of unprecedented productivity, creativity, blessing, peace, absence of wars, absence of conflict, everything coming to order; and then when it's all in order, then the end comes. They let the devil go one more time, and that's when there's an almighty battle; and then there's a new heaven and a new earth, and everything is delivered over to the hands of the Father.

What do the people of God do? Well, they've already had the best thousand years they've ever had. Now they've got all eternity, and God has got much more, probably the rest of His universe to govern. So this is not bad is it? This is pretty good. [Laughter] This is pretty good, don't you think? The resurrected saints then will rule with Jesus - in Revelations 5 verse 10 - let's have a look at that, and so He said: you have made us priests unto our God. Get it? You have made us kings and priests to our God, we shall reign on earth. Where will we reign? ... On earth. ... On earth. We'll reign on earth. We'll reign on earth. So you can look around you and realise then that the earth we're in now, no matter how difficult it is, and how upset and how much injustice and poverty or whatever; the mandate of the church is to be salt and light, because one day we take it over. In 1 Corinthians it actually tells - I think 6 - He says: don't you know, the saints will judge the world? Judge the world? Judge the world? That means you put it into order. That means that those who do wrong, are dealt with. This is a huge thing ahead of us.
