There's a couple of examples, more than one example, in the Bible of it. Here's one: Moses' confrontation and conflict with Pharaoh over the release of God's people from bondage. Pharaoh was a natural ruler, of the most wealthy and influential empire in the world; yet one man forced him to bow and let go everything. How did that happen? He carried Sonship Authority; he carried Sonship power! The guy had to yield or lose everything. We see it in Elijah's confrontation with the false prophets of Baal - he called fire from heaven! You understand, when God is backing you, and supernatural power is available at this kind of level... people can't say no! If they say no, there's a big problem! You understand that? Once you start to look in the Bible, and start to see the stories then, of these confrontations of kingdom against kingdom - they all have pictures of the end time of kingdoms in conflict; and Jesus Himself will overcome all resistance to His rule, and establish His kingdom on the earth. He will partner with believers to do that.
Here's the fifth point, #5 and it says: Jesus will establish His rule over the world - over a worldwide kingdom. There will be a one world government; it will be in Jerusalem; it will be Jesus in charge - and He'll have a team! He'll have a people who help Him administer His government - all governments require people to administer it. He has a name written: King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
In Revelation it says: "Jesus Christ was the faithful witness, the first born from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth". He will establish rulership over two types of kings. There will be resurrected kings, resurrected believers - so that'll be you and me, resurrected in a resurrection body; can't be hurt, can't be killed, can't be even captured. Can you imagine? You're living in a resurrection body - in an earth where people are not resurrected. There's nothing can harm you! There's nothing! You can move, transport from one place to another - there's nothing can hold you back. No sickness can touch you, no one can kill you. It's like impossible to cause any problem to you! You understand then, Jesus will have a company of people in resurrection bodies; but then there'll also be natural kings, and they will be guided by and directed by people. They may not want to yield to them - but they will have to, just like all kings have advisors.
Isaiah 61:4 - "They will rebuild the old ruins, raise up the former desolations, repair the ruined cities, the desolations of many generations."
In the season of the millennium, every aspect of society will be changed. Now just think about the task of doing that, the task of changing government just alone: laws, the legal system, the financial, economic systems (which are manipulated), the education systems, the media systems, the entertainment, the sports, community, religion... Think of all the aspects that make up a society - someone has to change all that! Who is going to change all of that? Well, God is preparing believers! He has them from every age since the beginning. He will have people prepared. The thing that will differ will be: what role you have.
#6: Jesus' government won't be instantaneous; it will be progressive, will progressively increase. He's not going to click His fingers and make everything change. He could do that now; but He doesn't want to do that. He wants to raise you up. He wants to raise people up. He wants to raise people up, who He can share His authority with, who will partner with Him - and they'll come from every generation that have ever lived! There will be people arise; some resurrected, and some changed, now that they're alive. In Isaiah 9:7, it says: "of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end." In other words, His government or His kingdom will increase without ever stopping; so that opens up the prospect that, even what we see is not the limit of what God is going to create, or have for us to rule over.
In Daniel 2:35 he says: Daniel had a vision of the end times, and it was a vision - an image he saw; and he saw a stone come and shatter the image, and he said: the stone that struck the image became a great mountain that filled the whole earth. That stone is the kingdom of God. In the vision that Nebuchadnezzar saw (he was the ruler of Babylon), there was a vision of a head of iron and so on, silver and gold, right down through to feet of clay and brass... Then he saw a picture of a small rock come and shatter the feet of this image, and the whole thing collapsed. So when you look historically, every one of the parts of the body that were mentioned represent a kingdom; except when we get to the last ones, which refer to a kingdom originating in Europe from Rome, probably made up of 10 countries, that hasn't yet come into being. Many people thought it would be the EUC, then the EU and so on; but it's a collaboration of nations that hasn't yet come. And he says: in the days of those kings, God will set up a kingdom, and it will invade the whole earth. In other words, there's going to be massive conflict; massive, massive, massive conflict - there's no other way! As David was saying, if you can't run with the footmen, how are you going to handle the horsemen? This is really little stuff compared to what's coming!
