Tablets of the Kingdom - 

Preface: The outline and then the larger story which much will be conjecture and speculation and my hope is to support the larger story by putting the pieces of evidence together throughout the bible to complete the picture.

 

1. The Story Itself - The Supernatural Fairytale 

    The offer to reside with God in the Perfect Setting.

    Theme of those that walked with God and those that didn’t walk with God

    

a. The idea that God had Kingdom that He gave to His Angelic hosts and there are an 

named Lucifer that desired to rule and reign over this Kingdom and not to follow the 

reign of God. In His thirst for power, God cast Lucifer out of his Kingdom and onto the 

earth which at the time was void and dark and without form. Then God in His 

redemptive plan to reveal himself and His character and his nature He chose to make a 

people in His image, a little lower than the angels.  Telling His overall principle that He 

exalt the humble and make low the proud.

    

b.  God to show Lucifer and the fallen angels who He gives His Kingdom to. God gives

away His Kingdom because of loyalty and allegiance as God’s example to the angels. 

The angels look into these things.

*Insert a link into angels

    

c. God creates a lowly human being created in His image and He places him on this 

earth which ultimately designed for Jesus, By Jesus and Through Jesus (Col Ch 1)

    

d. This is God’s receptive plan and story about who He is. His Goodness, His Authority,

His Holiness and His righteousness.  He creates this universe through this weaker than 

the angel man and gives this man authority, rulership and dominion over this universe 

and He uses Satan/Lucifer in this story to show Lucifer ultimately that you may nip at 

His heal but God’s Son will crush your head (Genesis) and God will play this story out

by letting Lucifer come into this universe to try to deceive.

 

e. The serpent comes into the garden on the earth and tries to usurp God’s authority 

like Lucifer has always done with the same old game that he played in heaven. (1John5:19)

“We know we originate with God, but the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one.”

(Luke 4:6) And the devil said to Jesus, “All this authority I will give you and their glory: For this has been delivered to me and I give it to whom I wish.” 

So we were given the choice to still Obey God and rebel against Satan’s kingdom!

 

(Deut 30:19-20) God still gives us the choice on which kingdom we will serve. It is a battle of kingdoms. It is a kingdom that he took from us and He, the King, is ready to bring the Kingdom back to earth and reward all of His followers.

 

God uses Lucifer to unfold this story to reveal Himself and His Kingdom. Lucifer tells Adam

and Eve that God is trying to withhold something from them, deceiving them. Lucifer

wants God’s throne just like Lucifer wanted in heaven and now He wants Adam’s 

throne. Lucifer says I may not be able to take God but I can take His people that He

made in His Image and so he comes in and tests God’s people’s allegiance to God. 

Lucifer fell because of one thing he couldn’t have and God gave Adam and Eve 

everything except for one and he tempted them on the one thing that would make them 

fall because he fell the same way. In Satan’s victory over Adam, they serve now a new master.

So the question here is were they going to give allegiance to their King or to another??

God needed to test them now to show their allegiance to their true God or to worship another.

Is man going to worship God or worship another or worship themselves? 

Satan tells them to be their own God. Satan knew if he could get them to do what he did that they would fall as well as he didn’t want anyone else to be in the divine place that Lucifer was as God created man to be in the same place that Lucifer had been in and Lucifer said, you don’t get that spot…..i am taking that spot away from you.

As soon as he usurped authority over the earth that God gave man it now became Lucifer’s which is why the earth is now ruled Satan himself…..so we are now looking at a battle of Kingdoms (the kingdom of Satan and the Kingdom of God). Satan is ruling over a kingdom of Gods people that God chose for Himself.

 

Only God could weave this story! He knew what Satan would do and God knew that man would fall just like Lucifer fell and He knew that he would send a redeemer who would not fall.

f. This rescuer, this knight in shining Armor, before the heavens were created, God had this plan to send His Son to rule over a people that were lower than the angels to come as a humble suffering servant to serve His Father and so in the balance of our lives holds this deep underlying truth that the humble He will exalt but the Proud He will bring low.

 

g. The word Satan means deceiver. The God as the universe gets to walk among Adam and Eve and say where are you, look what I gave you….now this supernatural relationship is taken away, the garden is removed and the earth prevails and groans because it is now ruled by Satan and his demons and we now have the world without the tree of life. The tree of Life was taken away and God in His mercy numbered the days of man knowing that his plight was now going to be huge. There would now be a cosmic battle between good and evil on the earth where Satan’s Kingdom was going to suppress and was going to suppress the people of God in Egypt as a comparison of the way that the world has now fallen to Satan (like Pharaoh).

 

f. God still provides a justice system and that a sacrifice must be made of your lawlessness.

Even though you chose a different master, I am still going to love you and I am still going to provide a way for you but now it is going to be extremely difficult and now you will be appointed once to die. Your disobedience  caused death and interrupted our union together and we can’t walk with God in the garden and now you will struggle on this earth and you will have to fight for your existence. God’s promise to us is that He will send to us a Redeemer.

 

g. The Redeemer will redeem everything that was lost….everything. There is not one thing that He won’t Redeem. All that was lost and given to Satan He will redeem. 

 

We were created in God’s image but now we are born in the image of Adam with a sinful nature without the higher capacity of the Spirit which is why we need to be Born Again!

Man now has to breed offspring made in the image of himself (Gen 5:1-3).

Adam now bore children in his image.

In God’s redemptive plan, the fallen angels slept with man and created.

Ex. When you xerox the xerox copy and then copy again it gets to be a more and more faded image…..just like our image of God becomes more and more faded over time.

 

h. Now you have the earth filled with man and his evil thoughts and ways and God in His mercy destroyed the earth with a flood in order to create an opportunity for one family that served Him.  This is another archetype of His rescue of us. This is how He prophetically shows us His plan to come for us as He will ultimately choose the man of Jesus Christ to come for us.

In this story He chose the man of Noah, who was the only righteous in his day.

 

1. Now we have this divided nature in us of the sin and flesh vs the spirit this plays out in Adam’s two sons of Caine and Abel. We now have a choice between two Kingdoms.

Our choice is still to pledge allegiance to God in this fallen land.

We are now prisoner on this earth with the Garden (our homeland) that was taken away and we are now living in Satan’s home as prisoners of war. God wants to set the captives free, free His people made in His image but you have a choice to make as you are prisoner trapped….whom will you serve? Will you be mistreated for His name’s sake? Will you go against the authority of the evil one?  Caine decided to live and remain a slave to Satan’s Kingdom….Abel decided to serve God and he was murdered for it.  They both brought their offerings to God and Caine was angry because God didn’t accept his offering…..if you do not do well then sin lies at the door and its desire is for you but you should rule over it!

 

This world is now being governed by an evil ruler but we are not supposed to give into his demands we are to fight against his demands but still pledge allegiance to God even though we are in the enemies territory!

 

Caine says “am i my brother’s keeper?” i don’t know where my brother is…a lie.

This replays later as we are our brother’s keeper….are you going to fight for your brother?

Caine was a tiller of the soil (earthly) and Abel was a shepherd of sheep….this is a metaphor of being mindful of the earthly world or a shepherd of sheep being mindful of God and His plan to shepherd His sheep. Tilling the soil is not a sin (have to fight to grow your crop now) but ultimately Abel represents the Good Shepherd who has to die (same story being replayed).

Caine killed Abel

The Roman Empire

The Pharisees and the Sadducees

Corruption abounds and the stories retell themselves.

 

Caine said to God if you banish me, I am going to surely be murdered, you have sentenced me to death. But God put a mark on him to tell others they would have to answer to God if they kill Caine. This is very interesting. They are still brothers, still family. One brother honors God and does what is right, the other brother dishonors God and does what is wrong so you have these paths of family that diverge.  

The church is a family and there are those in the church that go the way of Caine and those in the church that go the way of Able.

God’s people throughout history have always divided.  Did Caine still receive protection from God? He did, he was given a land, a wife and children.

Caine’s lineage had an Enoch and a Lamech.

 

God replaced Abel with Seth for Adam and Eve.  In the lineage of Seth you have Enoch and Lamech as well.  Enoch walked with God and God “took” Enoch. 

Noah came from Lamech who came from Seth (from Enoch’s line).

The Lord saw that man was wicked and the Lord was sorry that he made man and He was grieved in His heart. But Noah found grace in the eyes of Lord and he was a just man who walked with God. God told Noah to make an arc as He was going to destroy the earth with a flood. (Genesis 6)

Noah offered burnt offerings as soon as he left the arc. God said He would not flood the earth again although the imagination of man’s heart is evil from the youth.  This offering was a sweet aroma to God.  The Caine lineage was killed in the flood, the line that remains is the line of Noah (who came from Seth)

 

The rainbow is the sign of the everlasting covenant. The whole earth was populated from Shem, Ham and Japeth. Noah starts the whole human race. He is the lineage of Seth.

Ham didn’t cover his father’s nakedness but Shem and Japeth covered his nakedness without seeing it so Ham didn’t help his dad and be “his keeper”. Again in the family, someone choosing to not do what is right and someone choosing to do what is right.

 

 

The promise is Jesus came from the lineage of Noah and his sons.

Abraham came from the lineage of Shem. From Abraham Isaac and Ishmael (another divided lineage). 

From Isaac you have Jacob and Rebecca. From Jacob the 12 tribes of Israel including Judah.

From Judah is Jesus. Jesus is called the Lion of the tribe of Judah.

From Jacob also comes Joseph. Judah was one of the brothers who threw Joseph in the pit.

 

Basically from Abraham through Judah came David the King.

Judah’s plan was to sell Joseph into slavery and Joseph’s plan goes from slavery to ruler.

Another parallel of Jesus going from slavery to rulership.

j.  Deut 7:7-9

God chose His people based on the promise to Abraham. God chooses the least, the humble. 

God keeps His promise for those that follow and obey Him. He repays to those who hate Him.

God always secures for Himself a few faithful citizens in this fallen world. God chooses the few, those that kept His commandments.

 

Daniel 2:44 The Kingdom Promised.

Revelation 11:15 Confirms this promise that He will return to rule over His Kingdom!

Luke 21:31 Jesus is speaking to His followers and says “so you also when you see these things happening know that the Kingdom of God is near…But take heed to yourselves lest your hearts be weighed down with partying, drunkenness and the cares of this life and that day come upon you unexpectedly. For it will come as a snare on all those that dwell on the face of of the whole earth. Watch therefore and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass and to stand before the Son of Man.”

 

This Kingdom is promised both to Jews and to Gentiles…the House of Israel and the Church.

Romans 11:17 - …”and you being a wild olive tree was grafted in among them and with them became a partaker of the root and the fatness of the olive tree….”

Revel 20:3-7 - The promise of Millennial Kingdom and Reign of Christ.

 

Other Inserts: Who gets to Reign, Who gets to See, Who gets to Enter…Who gets rejected.

 

The person that God sent to get back rulership and authority over the earth is His Son, Jesus Christ. (Luke 4) He passed the test that Adam didn’t. He was tempted in every way that Adam and Eve were and He had to pass the test and he did pass the test. This is why He is called the second Adam.

 

1Corin 15:45-49 The first man Adam became a living being the last Adam a life giving Spirit.

The first from the dust of the earth and the second man from heaven….

 

1John 3:8 Jesus was sent to break the works of the devil.  

Romans 16:20 Jesus will finally crush Satan.
