Corporate Destiny

{Principles from the book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ}

The Saints and the Kingdom

This chapter is a compilation of eight other chapters that are not contained here in its entirety. Some of the sub-topics are actually chapters to another division of this book. The other books will follow.

Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure…Yes, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass” I have purposed it, I will also do it. Isaiah 46:10-11

I believe thus far that we have established the significantly important truth that God is going to have his way, anyway. No amount of dispensational divination is going to change the course of His actions to suit the frivolous and fanciful appeals of these self-styled experts of prophecy. No amount of book sales that fosters a pessimistic gospel {Gospel of doom, what a paradox} shall persuade the masses from God’s original intention and plan for man which is dominion. For again, the counsel of the Lord shall stand, and he will do all of his pleasure. Nothing can stop it, and nothing can stand in His way!

We shall begin and conclude chapter Five with a look of ultimate victory from the book of Revelation otherwise termed “The Revelation of Jesus Christ.” In this book are references to over 400 scriptures of the Old Testament. What’s interesting about this book is that John’s revelation of Jesus has its foundation in part from books such as Isaiah, Ezekiel, and Daniel. This supports the principle of the scriptures interpreting the scriptures, or the word of God defining itself.

Though many scholars espouse the belief that the Revelation of Jesus Christ can only be understood from the literal text, there is by far a more deeper cry in the Spirit for Truth as a person then truth as a selected portion of reading found on a page. In other words, the saints abroad are not inherently interested in 12 steps to mastering the Revelation of Jesus Christ. Nor do most care to become experts of the end time. For the teaching the of the end time as a devastating end reinforced by negative doctrines, is effectively waning in number each day.

From strong dispensational groups such as the Assemblies of God, a great shift of emphasis would readily change if the people were introduced to fresher dimensions of grace and glory. For a lot of the church’s doctrinal dilemmas come from a different dietary intake of the word and Spirit. Surprisingly, many saints live primarily in one dimension of grace or the other. Either it is the salvation realm of sovereign grace, whose diet consists weekly of salvation, salvation, and more salvation, or it is many others whose esteem is found in spirit, spirit, and spirit. On one hand you have many whose meals are the ABC’s of the faith, and on the other hand nothing but the Spirit. But beloved, here is truth…

Once you are born again and Spirit-filled, there needs to be a quickening of Truth. Without the quickening of the Spirit of truth, you will potentially major on doctrinal differences that have primarily spawned from the camps you engage with. From this we get Pentecostal doctrine, Roman Catholic doctrine, Baptist doctrine, and others including Church of Christ and Nazarene.

Without the quickening of the Spirit, you are statistically a believer with doctrinal issues.

But, when the Holy Spirit quickens us with the proceeding word of the Lord, we move from bible book knowledge to the Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation and the Person of the Lord Jesus Christ. Ephesians 1:17-18: John 5:39-40: 14:26: 15:26

We move from bible trivia to the travail of the Spirit…Rom. 8:26-27: Is. 66:8; Gal. 4:19: Rev. 12

Important note

One of the biggest errors among the saints today is to place all prophecy into a futuristic world. Like many big and low budget movies of the past, which allude to a post world-war catastrophe, much of the belief is tied into a world with little hope of restoration. In some of these movies, the machines become a single consciousness bent on destroying mankind, or man himself destroys one another. Throughout most of these pictures, the future remains bleak while a few people try to pick up the pieces for survival. Unfortunately, the church world bought into this same jargon.

Now, when it comes to God’s eternal purpose, he is not doing anything different than before. Yes, it appears that way with the happenings of Old and New Testament, but God is forever consistent in his purpose and plan being fulfilled. Our plans may change, but not his!

So, as we approach the subject of Corporate Destiny from the Revelation of Jesus Christ, we shall rediscover fresh, new, and abounding grace for corporate victory. For the book of Revelation is not something we are to merely talk about, but is the Revelation of Jesus Christ to walk about.

Preparatory Principles as we delve into the Revelation of Jesus Christ.

A - When teaching present truth of the glorious, victorious, and overcoming church, many believers tend to stop at the book of Revelation as if they had reached the end of a flat world soon to fall over. For many, their idea of this book is that too much study thereof will drive you bats. “After all, it is a book, which is not meant to be understood, seeing the church is going to escape the cataclysmic end time anyway, says the saints!”

For others, the book of Revelation is the only book worth mentioning thanks to the current world event prophecy experts, who keeps the carrot before the horse so-to-speak.

And then, there are those who read this book entirely from the literal text, making it into something more horrific than the top twenty-five horror flicks of our time. For many, dispensationalism is another way of saying sensationalism!

B - Many saints have not come to know that the Revelation of Jesus Christ is simply a word for all times, and not alone for the 20^th and 21^st centuries. For that is how many perceive the book, as if the events therein would take place in our time, only. With this view, virtually everything is scheduled to take place right after the church vanishes away to Beulah Land.

What many don’t understand is that the saints from John’s day till now all had the right to believe that this same book which is often put into the far distant future, was relevant to their time also. In other words, the saints saw the present unveiling of Christ through history, and not alone to be fulfilled in A.D. 1999 or beyond. In fact, there is nothing in the scripture to suggest that John was speaking primarily to the 20^th and 21^st century church, for that is an assumption.

C - I believe one of the most warring factors in the church system today is the classification of beliefs regarding the coming of the Lord. Note below…

1 – Preterist: This view holds to the belief that the events of Revelation were mostly fulfilled at 70 A.D. during the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem. Such passages, as Matthew 24 would apply to the past. The Beast, False Prophet, Antichrist, and Armageddon are viewed as the past,

while other aspects of the book of Revelation were unfolding throughout time.

2 – Futurist: This view holds to the belief that the book of Revelation has not been fulfilled. This would include the Tribulation, the Beast, Armageddon, and the Millennium. This view is primarily premillennial dispensational, with a more pessimistic view of the end times.

3 – Premillennialism: Christ physically returning to reign on earth before a literal 1000-years.

4 – Premillennial Dispensationalism: Developed by J.Nelson Darby around 1830 {later popularized by C.I Scofield}, this specific view of premillennialism is associated with the belief that the church is the parenthetical plan of God. Also it believes Israel and the church are two distinct programs, and that all of the prophecies concerning Old Testament Israel are necessary to be fulfilled in the future. From this branch we get your modern day prophecy experts.

5 – Postmillennialism: This belief holds that Christ will return after the 1000-year millennium. Like the Amillennialists, the millennium here is believed to by symbolic, from the ascension of Jesus into his heavenly throne. It is said that the reign of Christ is a present administration that is bringing under subjection all rule and authority into his kingdom. It believes that the whole world shall get a powerful witness of the King of kings, and that the future for mankind is glorious.

6 – Amillennialism: This belief holds that the millennium is symbolic, and that Christ is ruling over the earth in power to subdue the nations unto himself. It is similar to postmillennialism, but carries a more negative slant toward the future. For them, Jesus is coming in judgment, and may be reminiscent at times to those whom espouse the any minute return of Jesus. Just the same, the Amillennial view sees the book of Revelation through recorded history, and Jesus as Lord.

7- What do you believe and teach Brother Tim Early? {I believe Christ in all that he is!}

My personal beliefs are tied in to a stream of present truth thinking compounded by the person of the Lord Jesus Christ, the word of God interpreting the word of God, and pioneering apostles and prophets of the Spirit. Though I prefer not to be classified in any of the above particular groups, my understanding of the Holy Scriptures clearly support a more positive view of the end time. Based on the evidence of scripture, the illumination of the Holy Spirit, and the confirming witness of present truth apostles and prophets, the days ahead are becoming glorious for the church. There is no need to abandon the Dominion Mandate for fear of a dispensational antichrist, or for dread of some proposed nuclear holocaust. But let God be true and everything else a lie, including the flattering mathematical calculations and guesswork of carnal teaching.

D – The Revelation of Jesus Christ is just that, the Revelation of Jesus Christ!

It is not about the 144,000 evangelists {supposed}, the number 666, or any of the scary and juicy details often pointed out through the pessimistic or uncertain proponents of the literal text.

Jesus is the Personification of this entire book. Just as the book of Acts acknowledges the Holy Spirit in awesome wonder, so is Christ preeminent in the book of Revelation.

The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to show unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent {apostello – apostolic mission, main mission thrust of the church} and signified {spoke in signs} it by his angel unto his servant John. Revelation 1:1

E – The Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ gives reference to over 400 Old Testament Scriptures. In anointed study of this book, one of the most efficient means leading to endless hours of diligent research is by referencing Old Testament witnesses of scripture. One of the reasons many saints stop and turn around when approaching this book is because the have little to no foundation of the Old Testament. Many Word of Faith assemblies in particular are not that inclined to delve deeply into this area of discussion since a great part of the Old Testament is excluded from their teachings. In fact, many of them are not great teachers at all except for the isolated portions of scripture concerning the Believer’s Authority. I too, came from strong faith backgrounds and appreciate my sincere Pentecostal and Charismatic upbringing. Over a period of time, the Lord took Theresa and me into the revelation of fullness and totality, something distinctly different from being classified as a Full Gospel Believer.

But to be fair, there are realms of grace, which the Holy Spirit leads us into. That means there are dimensions of the Spirit that are not everyone’s measure of grace or measure of rule. If Dr. Fred Price began preaching on the Kingdom of God, the Glorious Church, Apostolic Destiny, and the Melchisedec Order, it would have to be God’s wisdom and timing to do so. If Creflo Dollar

{Create a flow of dollars – smile} were to pioneer the Manifestation of the Sons of God, it would have to be the divine inspiration of the Spirit, otherwise there would be a great lost of his audience.

For it is one thing to bring a renewal of Spirit and truth to a particular emphasis of scripture. But to move into an entirely new paradigm shift, there’s a lot more than a renewal going on.

Not forgetting, Most ministries who are 1^st or 2^nd day {outer court or holy place} are not prepared to pay the price of glorious sonship and perfection. This is not to say that what they are doing is not important, but the truth is, many would fear losing the overhead and the overflow of saints if they were repositioned in the Spirit to pioneer third heaven revelation. 2 Corinthians 12:1-4

If it’s not the fear of entering in, or the troubling of the soul, it could mean one’s does not quite understand the price for such a process. In the past Theresa and me lost everything to become all things to all men. We’re talking about wealth and health for a season. No, this is not the pattern for all coming into totality of kingdom purpose, but the transition was so painful at times, our carnal minds felt like giving up. For we were taught much of our life how to get God’s blessings, but then we moved into the deeper grace of God from getting to BECOMING!

Nevertheless, God has positioned Theresa and me for multi-millions of dollars to advance the saints into new levels of destiny. From schooling for ruling, training for reigning, Antioch Centers, publications, and media, thousands will be impacted weekly for global destiny. With joy unspeakable we are given to impart and to activate countless many.

The Revelation {Revolution} of Jesus Christ, an Overcomers Manual

Before we go further consider this, that whatever is a part of the life and nature of Jesus Christ is a part of his church. If he is victorious, so are we. If he is triumphant on the throne, then his present position is to be ours. If the Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ reveals the undisputed champion – Christ, then it reveals the church as glorious and victorious. Everything Christ is, we are. For we are Christ the body, not just the body of Christ. 1^st Corinthians 12

Everything about the Revelation of Jesus Christ reveals him in power, glory, dominion, and majesty. Not one part of the book contradicts his Lordship. From the visions of John describing Babylon, to the unveiling of historical persecution, Jesus is first and foremost the theme, scope, and character of the book. No matter what the language of the book, be it strong, intense, mild, or horrific, nothing gets pass the glorious unfolding of Christ on the throne. For he is the Lord!

This book is not to be treated as another interpretation, but rather, the REVELATION of Jesus Christ. It does not talk about him, but simply reveals him. He is the author, the subject, and the final end in this glorious unfolding of all that he is. For all things are summed up into the Christ.

Christ is the sum of all things, the head and completion of purpose

To get you onto a right start, everything we propose to do here in the earth as kings and priests is by the leadership of the sovereign King and High Priest, the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the head of all things, before all things, and is the reason why all things consist. He stands as the Preeminent One, the first and the last, the beginning and the end. All things are being vacuumed up into the totality of his redemption for all men. He is the highest order in the church and the home at all times. Colossians 1:16-19: Ephesians 1:22-23

Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come. And has put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church. Which is his body, the fullness of him that fills all in all. Ephesians 1:21-23

Son of man, show the house {Christ the Head} to the house {Christ the body}…Ezekiel 43:10

In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God {he really began the beginning}. He made all things; and without him was not anything made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in darkness, and the darkness apprehended it not. John 1:1-5

…Christ is the Head {KING} of the church: and he is the Savior {PRIEST} of the body. Eph. 5:23

And we are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power. Colossians 2:10

And not holding {or withholding} the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands, having nourishment ministers, and knit together, increases with the INCREASE of God. Col. 2:19

That in the dispensation of the fullness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him. Ephesians 1:10

Ephesians 4:15: Matthew 16:18: Psalms 133:1: John 15:1-7

The Revelation of Jesus Christ is not prejudice to any race, color, culture, creed, or clan. It is a ministry beyond the veil to all people, for every tribe, nation, kindred, and tongue. No one nation or denomination has the exclusive goods on the revelation of Jesus Christ. All nations shall honor him! All creation shall bow before him! And all religious systems shall see him as he is!

Note below that Christ is not prejudice, taken from our 6 months 1996 School of the Wise Master Builder.

1^st Corinthians 1:13 – Christ is not divided. In the book of Revelation, he is not divided over Denomination, Non-Denomination, Non-Denomination Denomination, or Inter-Denomination. In the book of Revelation there is no Baptist Jesus in one chapter, and a Pentecostal Jesus in another. The same Christ with his endless life is for all, to be obeyed by all, and to be enjoyed by all. Christ is all in all! Hebrews 8:6

Thou Son of man, show the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities: and let them measure the pattern. Ezekiel 43:10

Jesus Christ is the pattern son, the blueprint of perfection, and the path that leads to the Father’s glory. He is the pattern for the home and the pattern for the church. All things given to us by the Christ must be done according tom the pattern. And who is the patter? Christ! Exodus 25:8-9…according to the pattern…

And if they be ashamed of all that they have done, show them the form…the fashion…the goings out…the comings in…the ordinances thereof…the laws thereof…and write it in their sight {Revelation 3:12}…that they may keep the whole form…and all the ordinances thereof…Ezekiel 43:11

In present truth, the shame committed here is that the body of the head was performing deeds and actions contrary to the headship of Christ. In the church today, much goes on under the banner of church. Many things are instituted in assemblies, which has nothing to do with his headship at all. Yes I’m firmly aware that the Lord gives us versatility in how we carry out the corporate anointing, authority, and agenda of the local and universal church. But the Father is saying here to return back to headship and a change of nature will come. It is in this where we recognize the true source of the body, his bone, flesh, breath, spirit, and life.

This is the law of the house; upon the top of the mountain {MT. Zion principle} the whole limit thereof round about shall be most holy {most holy place principle, or holy of holies}. Behold, this is the law of the house.

Ezekiel 43:12 {Compare to 2^nd Corinthians 10:12-18:

God is calling us to return to the most holy place, for the law of his house is MOST HOLY! Contrary to many present truth ministries, our life with the Father began in the holy of holies, for that is where we were born. It did not begin in the outer court, but it is in the outer court that we mature from adolescence to adulthood. It is a marvelous race, but in all truth, we were born in Christ, In Him who now sits on the throne. Our identity is not alone cultural, but spiritual. We have a new name and a new nature from within the most holy place

Notice below the call of God to return to life beyond the veil of no limitations…

Outer Court Holy Place Most Holy Place

Jesus Christ Lord

Way Truth Life

Born of the Spirit Filled with the Spirit Fullness of Spirit

Out of Egypt Through the Wilderness Promised Land

30-fold realm 60-fold realm 100-fold realm

Christ is not a Prejudiced Priesthood

And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot…His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow {the Ancient of Days}: and his eyes were as a flame of fire. And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; his voice as the sound of many waters. And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp two-edged sword; and his countenance was as the sun shining in his strength. And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last. Revelation 1:13-17

The Christ that now rules the throne is not the typical picture we’re use to seeing on sanctuary walls. Here, Christ’s appearance would make a hit at the box office for some starship alien adventure. Nevertheless, this is Christ now in ultimate victory, in a realm where no one culture can say he looks more or less like them. {Don’t let your culture become a cult!}

When we really see Jesus Christ as he is, we too, may fall as dead. To think, that our religious and cultural beliefs has placed a supposed grip on Christ is ludicrous. Christ does not come out of our limited mentalities, but rather we come from and proceed to the Father through Christ. Before we got a view {including doctrinal} of the Christ, he already had us in mind. For the law of circularity is, we come from the Lord, and shall return to him…I go to the Father! John 14:

To help us to see that Christ is not prejudice, note below what is, and compare…

A prejudiced priesthood ministers exclusively to its own kind, clan, and cluster. Jesus’ ministry is MORE EXCELLENT, far excelling the limited mentalities of race, creed, color, gender, and religion. In Christ the hope of glory, we see the abolishing end of prejudice and a new breed of priesthood that is Melchisedec in order, and not Aaronic in dimension. For a prejudiced order is sectarian, limited in scope and character. It is not universal or global in mentality, but arrested in development. It primarily has its own interest and agenda in mind. Me, Myself, and I…

Prejudice simply means “you have pre-judged, a judgment or opinion formed before the facts {or truth} are known. It is a preconceived idea, more usually unfavorable. It is suspicion, intolerance, or irrational hatred of other cultures, creeds, regions, occupations, and sexes. It is liken unto James 2:1-4, having the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ with respect of persons, or…

…With an attitude of personal favoritism…NASB

…With acts of partiality to certain ones…WMS

…With flattery of human greatness…KNOX

…Do not exhibit partiality…WEY

…You must never show snobbery…NEB

…With the worship of rank…TCNT

James 2:4 says, Are you not partial in yourselves and are become judges of evil thoughts?

…Make distinctions among yourselves…ASV

…Discriminating among your own…BER

…Drawing distinctions in your minds…MOF

…In your hearts you have little faith…WEY

…To doubt within yourselves…ALF

…Evil-thinking judges…ABUV

…Prejudiced judges…TCNT

…Judge by false standards…NEB

…Prove to be critics with evil motives…WMS

In all that has been stated, if Christ is not prejudiced then what he has for one ethnic group he has for all. If his endless life is flowing from the most holy place, then all nations are given the expressed invitation to come to the mount of the Lord according to Isaiah 2:2-4. If Christ is not prejudiced then there is a people coming forth from every race or culture there is. Christ will have a man in his image, a corporate man in the expressed image of his person. Therefore, to teach the Revelation of Jesus Christ with partiality to one over another is not Christ {Melchisedec} at all. For 1^st Corinthians 1:13 asks, “Is Christ Divided?”

How can we impart revelatory truth of the glorious church in the book of Revelation if we are always chopping up selected portions of scripture for the Jew and the Church? How can we say that chapter’s 1-3 is for the church before the great Zoom, and chapter’s 4-20 begins the great Zoom with harrowing and horrifying events? How could we have become so prejudiced through dispensationalism by teaching the church as the parenthetical plan of God, only to be engrafted in because Israel the nation rejected God? How can we continue on with reverse racism by saying the church is nothing but a temporary instrument of kingdom usage until the Jewish nation returns to the Lord? Whether we despise the natural Jew for not receiving the savior then, or the church as God’s agenda for planet earth, it is racism on either end.

When we begin to preach His GRACE that includes all in the human RACE, we then reveal the new Ethnic without abandoning our individual cultural identity. For we appreciate sincerely all that God made us to be in ethnic cluster, by ascribing worth to HIM as the source of our identity. We chiefly acknowledge the Christ as supreme over every geographical territory on the earth. {Revelation 2:26-27

So, as we continue on with Corporate Destiny, let us once again ascribe all worth to Christ the Preeminent Lord in this book. Let us briefly list some titles ascribed to the headship of Christ.

The Saints and the KINGDOM

And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come SALVATION, and STRENGTH, and the KINGDOM of our God, and the POWER of his Christ: for the accuser of the brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. Revelation 12:10

The words of this scripture bring more than music to my ears. It is a bold declaration of the kingdom made manifest in the lives and affairs of men. But notice this, it says NOW is COME…the KINGDOM! The Kingdom is now beloved, it is here, and not for another time. The kingdom is an everlasting kingdom according to Psalms 145:10-13. The Kingdom is possessed by the saints as confirmed in Daniel 7:22, 27, but there is more to this than the mere possession of it.

For we are called to receive the kingdom and to release the kingdom. That’s right! If something can be received, it can be released. This includes the gifts of the Spirit, the anointing of the Holy Spirit, the power of the words, and the kingdom of God. {Receiving and releasing the kingdom}

Now is come…the KINGDOM!

Now is come…the DOMAIN of the KING!

But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you. Mt. 12:28

When there is genuine deliverance ministry, the kingdom is made manifested. The same with Philip in Acts the 8^th chapter, for he preached Christ, functioning in the working of miracles, gifts of healings, and the casting out of demonic strongholds. That’s what the kingdom does!

When Jesus ascended to the Father, he came into the power of the kingdom. His going was also his coming into power, which released the Holy Ghost to empower his disciples while on earth. For the Baptism of the Holy Spirit is another way of the kingdom being received and released. Just ask the average believer has he or she received the Holy Ghost since they believed. Then, ask them have they released the Holy Ghost since they had received! {Surprising answer perhaps}

Simply put, the Holy Ghost outpouring on the day of Pentecost is the ushering in of the Kingdom in manifestation and power. It is the new administration of the Spirit, which testify of Christ ascending in throne-ship to bring all things under his feet. Ephesians 1:23

If only the Pentecostal saints would see the vast beyond of what the Holy Spirit is doing in the earth. For Pentecost was not given to make us merely Pentecostal. If so, we would have stopped right there to do Pentecostal things, when the Holy Spirit is given to us to be a dynamic demonstration and witness to countless many on earth. The power of Pentecostal outpour, though viewed by Evangelicals as a one-time historical account, did not begin only for us to end {at the beginning of Pentecost}. For this is where the problem lies among the saints, we get a hold of a revelation or a revolution, and turn it into a conclusion. We cease to be when we claim to be something, which God is taking us from. It is not to deny the divinely inspired outpour of the Holy Spirit, but the Father is setting us into priority to advance the kingdom beyond the initial experience of Pentecost to Tabernacles. Unfortunately, Oneness Pentecostals war with Trinitarian Pentecostals and the Holiness groups over the liberated Holiness Groups.

The one main reason why we should not pitch our tents to remain at Pentecost is the fact that Pentecost is an experience and dimension of the three main feasts of the scriptures. One is Passover {the new birth, salvation}, one is Pentecost {Holy Ghost Baptism, the power of the kingdom to be witnesses – Acts 1:8}, and the last is Tabernacles {the fullness of Christ}. If we stop at being Pentecostal, then we deny ourselves the expressed privilege of something more wonderful than speaking in tongues. For the baptism of the Holy Spirit, speaking in tongues, and the gifts of the Spirit are not perfection, it never was. According to Ephesians 1:13-14, the Holy Spirit of Promise is the earnest of our inheritance. It is the pledge and foretaste of something else to happen. It is the down payment before you settle on the house, and the engagement ring before the great wedding. Meaning, there is more of which the Holy Spirit is given for. There is a vast dimension of grace through the Holy Spirit for destiny. But destiny is not receiving the Holy Spirit, but is more inclined to where you are headed through the Holy Spirit of God.

Another look at Revelation 12:10

Now is come…SALVATION {Jesus - Yeshua – the name and nature of Jesus’ mission}

Now is come…STRENGTH {Holy Spirit Baptism – power of the mission to become a witness}

Now is come…the KINGDOM {Receiving & Releasing the Kingdom – mission statement}

Now is come…the POWER of HIS CHRIST {Christ the Body – demonstrators of the mission}

Note the above, Salvation is the means through which we are privileged to walk in the citizenship of the kingdom. The Strength of God is the power of the Holy Spirit baptism to be a witness in the earth by releasing the kingdom of God through the anointing of the Spirit. The kingdom of God is the dimension we live because of the Holy Spirit. For it is here that the coming of the kingdom in power is the Holy Ghost. And, the power of his Christ is Christ manifested through his body – Christ the Body, the corporate body of Christ. Romans 8:19-27: Acts 1:8

His Christ

And the seventh angel {Revelation 10:7} sounded; and there were great voices in heaven saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his CHRIST; and he shall reign forever and ever. Revelation 11:15

HIS CHRIST, is CHRIST the Head and CHRIST the body!

The Revelation of Jesus Christ confirms the church in glory, dominion, and power.

Whatever Christ has done is being realized through his church, as Christ’s victory over the works of darkness is the church’s progressive unfolding of victory in history. Since the times of Christ, there has been an engaging of the enemy as saints are taking new territory in the Spirit, which reaffirms Christ’s present day administration as recorded in 1^st Corinthians 15:24-26: Eph. 1:23

His Christ, is also recorded in Revelations 12:10. His Christ, is the Head and body of Christ subduing the nations unto his Lordship. It is the saints possessing the Kingdom.

Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom. And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him. Daniel 7:22, 27

Notice what the scriptures say of the overcomer in Revelation 2:26-27…

And he that overcomes, and keeps my works unto the end, to him I will give power over the nation. And he shall rule them {the nations} with a rod of iron as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father. Revelation 2:26-27

Now, notice other scriptures from the Old Testament that John obviously built upon…

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 forever. Daniel 2:44

For the kingdom is the Lord’s: and he is the governor among the nations. Psalms 22:28

And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and the battle bow shall be cut off. And he shall speak peace unto the heathen: and his dominion shall be from sea to sea and from the river to the ends of the earth. Zechariah 9:10

Yours, O Lord, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty. For all that is in the heaven and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and you are exalted as head above all. 1^st Chronicles 29:11 {Matthew 6:13}

The Lord shall send the rod of your strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies. Psalms 110:2 {Read also verses 3-7 of this same chapter – interesting}

And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages should serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed. Daniel 7:14

They shall speak of the glory of your kingdom and talk of your power: to make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of his kingdom. Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures throughout all generations. Psalms 145:11-13

Corporate Destiny in the Revelation of Jesus Christ

The Dominion Mandate is the eternal purpose of the Father from the beginning and to the ending. We declare the end from the beginning according to Isaiah 46:10. When reviewing the Revelation of Jesus Christ, we can approach the Revelation from a standpoint of victory as oppose to a fear of getting confused in reading it. We can see the present and progressive unveiling of the saints for all times, as the book reveals word pictures of Christ’s triumphal reign.

Of all that we have shared from the beginning of this book, we are prepared now to apply these truths in conjunction to what the Spirit is speaking to us from the Revelation of Jesus Christ.

For dominion, power, authority, and anointing are ascribed to the Lord and his saints.

We need to press forward and begin to see these truths marvelously unfolding before us, as the Revelation of Jesus Christ is a past and present victory of the saints, and for all times.

To be truthful, every victory and breakthrough in the Christ is already won. But the Revelation of Jesus Christ metaphorically unveils the hidden wisdom of this book to those who are hungering after him. However to those who want a best seller, or a quick and easy way to analyze it from the lofty heights of intellectualism, then go for it. But you won’t get that far anyway!

Below, we shall list some important observations of the Revelation of Jesus Christ…

The Revelation of Jesus Christ is spoken of in veiled languages. According to Proverbs 25:2, “It is the glory of God to conceal a thing, but the honor of kings is to search out a matter.”

The language of this book is for the overcomer, those pressing beyond plain speech into the unfolding mysteries of the kingdom. To become a literalist and say, “I take the bible at face {surface} value, nothing more and nothing less!” is to rob oneself of the glorious reward of the Spirit’s illumination. For surely the Spirit of God is always speaking in diverse expression. Even God whom spoke in sundry times and in divers manner now speaks to us by the Spirit of his Son.

Note below some important thoughts about the approach of this book as OVERCOMERS…

A – The book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ is full of imagery based on the Old Testament. For example, the Babylon and Jezebel of Revelation are not the same as the one of the Old Testament. God’s use this language of the Spirit with a universal grace for all nations to press in and see the glory of the Lord unfolded. No denomination, nation, or imagination is to remain exclusive to an interpretive approach over another. This means that the Holy Spirit can speak as he chooses for it is He that quickens us anyway, as the flesh profits us nothing.

B – When understanding the Revelation of Jesus Christ consider the truth that Jesus had already came to set up his kingdom in the lives of people everywhere. The usage of the word kingdom does not denote a futuristic appeal, but rather, a progressive and actively growing awareness of the kingdom from Jesus’ first coming until. The kingdom is NOW, yesterday NOW, today NOW, tomorrow NOW. For God is revealing his eternal NOWNESS, a present day truth!

C – Concerning the Revelation of Jesus Christ date setting for his coming is folly!

D – The advancing of the Kingdom cannot come by the carnal weapons of men, for in John 18:37 Jesus says his kingdom is not of this world, therefore there is no reason for his servants to fight.

E – The Revelation of Jesus Christ is Ultimate Kingdom. As he is so are we.

Corporate Destiny from the Revelation of Jesus Christ is what the Spirit of God has been saying to his people from the beginning. In it you have opposition, but victory: purpose, but process: You have a more veiled language of the Spirit, yet made plain to those hungering and thirsting after him. In truth the Revelation of Jesus Christ is a word for all times and for all nations.

What’s very important is that Christ makes mention of his truth prevailing in every nation, kindred, tribe, and tongue. From this we see that God’s purposes are universal, not limited to one nation over another. Here, God wants the whole world to behold the glory of the King and His kingdom. Therefore, it is the saints who must advance this truth to the nations and establish that all nations shall come to the mount of the Lord to worship and serve him. He made the nations for his glory. He made man for his pleasure, and he is making a new person out of some of you, too.

In corporate destiny, the EARTH’S IS THE LORD’S…according to Psalms 24:1. God’s scheme of things is global and territorial, encompassing nation after nation through kingdom acquisition.

Every nation and people of this world is to find their origin and sum in the totality of God’s redemptive plan. His Christ {Jesus and his body} is bringing His rule to the nations.

Note below a brief support of some important scriptures…

Revelation 2-3: The 7-fold promise of the overcomer…

1 – Revelation 2:7 – To eat of the tree in the midst of the Paradise of God: Back to Eden –

Jesus is the tree of life {Revelation 22}. John 15:1-7: Compare the tree of Life

{Dependence upon God} with the Tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil {Independence}

2 – Revelation 2:11 – Not hurt by the second death {second death mentality}

3 – Revelation 2:17 – The hidden manna {most holy place}, white stone

{During those times, a victory stone won in a race with your name on it}

4 – Revelation 2:26-27 – Power over the nations, including procrastination, inclination, imagination, abomination, denomination, discrimination, alienation, etc. {Smile}

5 – Revelation 3:5 – White raiment is the holiness and purity of the saints, the saints in white or the glory of the Lord. It is God’s holiness and not yours – not blotted out of the book of life…

6 – Revelation 3:12 – Becoming a pillar in his temple {Get our book on the New Jerusalem} –

The stability of the kingdom, written upon us {mind of Christ – Revelation 14:1-5}

7 – Revelation 3:21 – Ascending the throne, rule reign, dominion in the heavens and the earth –

We sit where Christ now is, as he is so are we – 1^st John 4:17

The OVERCOMERS are those who subdue, conquer, prevail, and get the victory. It is related to the principle of overcoming faith in Romans 8:36-39: 1^st John 4:4: 5:4 and more…

In Revelation 21:7 says, “He that overcome will inherit all things…This is the allotted end for the saints, to inherit all that has been given to Christ. This includes the nations…

Revelation 12 – Is the picture of the church bringing forth an overcomer company. True, it has application to history past, but in present truth, it is Zion travailing to bring forth her children.

Isaiah 66:8…It is Christ being formed…Galatians 4:19…It is a testimony of Victory over the dragon, the opposition against God’s people. Romans 8:19: it is a word picture of the birthing through the Spirit.

Revelation 14 – This is the remnant overcoming church. The mark of the Lord is in their forehead, which is the circumcision of the Spirit and the mind of Christ. Philippians 2:5

1^st Corinthians 2:16: Ezekiel 9, Ephesians 1:13: Revelation 3:12

Revelation 17:14 – Those that are with the Lamb are the following…

30-fold: called – 60-fold: chosen – 100-fold: faithful

Revelation 19:1-16 –The saints ascribes worth {worship} to God: we become whom we worship

Revelation 20: Progressive unfolding battle through the ages, Christ’s kingdom established at his first coming to subdue all rule, power, and authority under him. 1^st Corinthians 15:24-26

Revelation 21-22, the Holy City, the saints in perfection and glory…

So Far, we have listed some brief observations for the saints to enter in to the present truth dimension as overcomers. For it has been repeatedly stated that the Revelation of Jesus Christ was not for the glorious church, seeing we were to escape the scene in chapter 4 thereof.

However, by seeing the Revelation of Jesus Christ as the Holy of Holies, or the veil being lifted, we can assuredly appreciate this impartation of Christ. We can then acknowledge this as a present yet progressive walk with the Lord, as oppose to some commentary based on the isolated opinions of scholars over the last 150 years.

Not forgetting, we shall be releasing to you volume two of Corporate Destiny.
