"So
God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male
and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them,
Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and
have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and
over every living thing that moveth upon the earth." -Genesis 1:27-28 The
Old Testament
Since
the beginning of human life here on earth, the Bible accounts the dominion
that mankind was meant to have while in fellowship with his Creator. This
spiritual fellowship was broken very early in our race when Adam and Eve
disobeyed their Father and Creator by choosing selfishness and greed over
obedience. Because of this rebellion, man's authority over earth as ruler
and supreme governor was severely hampered by Satan's deception. In fact,
although God still had ownership of this planet, stewardship was sacrificed
and given up to Satan as evil continued to prosper. So evil had this
planet become in such a short period of time, that we have our Creator
sadly stating:
"And
it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved
him at his heart. And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created
from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing,
and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them." -Genesis
6:6-7 The Old Testament
Fortunitely
for you and I, Noah found favor in God's eyes and preserved our race from
total extinction. Yet even from a fresh start, sin and its master continue
to plague each human being until it subdues our original intention of godly
fellowship and authority over this planet. Mankinds rule and governance
was so tainted by the time of Jesus Christ's arrival here on earth that
Satan, the great boaster and deceiver, could declare in truth:
"And
the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, showed unto him all the
kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said unto him,
All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered
unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it. If thou therefore wilt worship
me, all shall be thine." -Luke 4:5-7 The New Testament
Yet as
so often happens with those in selfish authority, Satan had no clue to
the coming change in his dominion. The Godhead had planned an ultimate
covert program to rescue this earth from Satan's authority and set it back
on track. It was called The Atonement. No other method could so wisely
pardon the wicked without destroying the honor of the Pardoner. No other
way could be found to sustain the Moral Government of the Creator in the
Universe.
"Now
is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast
out. And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me."
-John 12:31-32 The New Testament
And the
results of such a sacrifice were clearly stated by the Pardoner in such
a way that those who conformed to this sacrifice by true repentance and
obedience could make no mistake about their dominion.
"For
this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments
are not grievous. For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and
this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he
that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son
of God?" -1 John 5:3-5 The New Testament
Now, in
light of the alien threat to our planet, we have a blunt question for those
now managing and controlling our national defenses. Do you really think
that your flawed human intelligence and recovered scraps are enough to
protect this corrupted planet from their superior intellect and technology?
The majority have chosen to fight by weapons of the flesh and so are prohibited
from taking back the authority that was meant to be ours.
"For
though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons
of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down
of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that
exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity
every thought to the obedience of Christ; And having in a readiness to
revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled." -2 Corinthians
10:3-6
The Bible
is clear regarding the battle for our planet. Only those who forsake themselves
and trust in the Creator's Atonement will find forgiveness and restoration
to fellowship with His Spirit. The results of which again will bring about
the proper Dominion of Earth! |
