You bet your 401K!

At Christmas we sing, “Joy to the world, let the earth receive her king,” but nobody does. When Christ returns, all kings are going to serve Him as He rules an earthly, visible, political kingdom in Palestine as the headquarters.

“You just keep reading through Scripture and you can’t miss the fact that all this stuff is looked at and thought about to be just as real as it’s said to be!” says Jordan.

Isaiah 2:2 says, “And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.”

Similarly, Daniel 2:44 says, “And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.”

Jordan reasons, “Does it say it shall stand hereafter and the dream is ‘symbolic and the interpretation is highly figurative, apocalyptic and uncertain’?  No, it said you can bet your 401K on this one—it’ll come to pass right on the money!

“In Habakkuk 2:14 is the promise, ‘For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.’

“The earth is going to be filled with the knowledge, not just of the Lord, but of the glory of the Lord, and when He sits upon His throne of glory, which is located in the city of Jerusalem, the 12 apostles will sit upon 12 thrones judging the 12 tribes of Israel and the earth will be filled with the knowledge of a KING reigning in a city in Jerusalem. You can just go on and on and on with these things!

“What I want you to see is that when you read these passages, you get a sense that it’s real; it’s not some symbolic ‘spiritual rule in the hearts of men.’

 

"When you ask somebody where is that verse in the Bible, they always run over to Luke 17.

“We already studied that passage where Jesus said to the Pharisees ‘the kingdom of God is within you.’ If you think that the kingdom was within those Pharisees—that it was a ‘spiritual rule in the hearts’ of those lost Pharisees that Jesus was talking about—then you got bigger problems than just not understanding this verse!

“You see, Jesus said, ‘Seek ye first the kingdom of God and then all these things will be added unto you.’

“It’s only the nation who trusts Him with heart faith who receives the literal, physical kingdom. When God promised Abraham some land to him and his descendants forever, if He doesn’t give it to them, He’s a liar and He’s not ‘the God who cannot lie,’ and you got a big problem. But it is real!”
