Kings of the Earth, Messiah, Son of God

The Conspiracy

The prophesied plot of the Earthโ€™s kings to unseat Godโ€™s Son is applied by the New Testament to the conspiracy to destroy Jesus โ€“ Psalm 2:1-6.

The Second Psalm is a key Messianic passage applied to Jesus in the New Testament, but when were its predictions fulfilled, and is the Messiah reigning on Davidโ€™s Throne now? Is the Church waiting for a future date for his accession to the Throne? What about the โ€œrevoltโ€ of nations and kings against the โ€œAnointed Oneโ€?

Seeing God’s Glory

Since the Word became flesh, the Divine Glory has been manifested in Jesus of Nazareth and all who follow him behold it โ€“ John 1:14.

Jesus is the Logos in the Gospel of John, the โ€œWord become fleshโ€ in whom the โ€œGlory of Godโ€ resides. He is the True Tabernacle foreshadowed by the Tent carried by Israel in the wilderness where the Glory of Yahweh was manifested in impressive but limited ways. The Crucified Messiah is the true and full manifestation of the Glory of the Living God.

Beast from the Earth, False Prophet

The Ultimate Imposter

The False Prophet will mimic the Lambโ€™s servants and sell the Beast from the Sea as the Lamb to the world โ€“ Revelation 13:11-18.

Jesus warned of coming deceivers – โ€œfalse prophetsโ€ and โ€œfalse messiahsโ€ determined to hoodwink the โ€œelect.โ€ In the Book of Revelation, this satanic effort finds its ultimate expression in the โ€œBeast from the Earth,โ€ also called the โ€œFalse Prophet.โ€ He is a clever imitation of Christโ€™s true servants and is part of Satanโ€™s final โ€œwarโ€ against the people of the โ€œLamb.โ€

Real Power

โ€œThey overcame the Dragon by the blood of the Lamb, the word of their testimony, and because they loved not their lives unto death.โ€

Popular preaching claims the Churchโ€™s victory will be accomplished by the coming massive outpouring of mighty โ€œsigns and wondersโ€ as predicted by todayโ€™s prophetic voices. This has become the โ€œHoly Grailโ€ of charismatic churches. Only a super revival characterized by wave after wave of miraculous deeds will equip the church to fulfill its Great Commission.
