Second Kingdom

Before there was a second kingdom there had to be a first
the kingdom of heaven
First we must understand that God is God
We must understand that before anything existed there was God
What does God mean
The word God indicates self existing one or self sufficient one
This name describes a being that needed nothing or no one to exist
key that you understand this
tuck it away in your memory
So the ultimate question is why did he create us?
God existed before everything and anything
all this got his creative juices flowing
by doing so he created what we know to be the invisible world
the first kingdom
better known as the kingdom of heaven
and it was the creation of the what we now know as the invisible world that initiated a concept of a ruler or rulership
and another word for ruler is king
Thus God became the king of the domain that is called heaven
This is the creation of the first kingdom
the kingdom of God
The kingdom of heaven
This creates the concept of kings and kingdoms
2. Spirit Children
so is what draws a conclusion to the question, why did God create us?
why did he create children?
Another question that comes to mind is,
was he not please or satisfied with what he had created
i mean he had a domain to rule and a plethora of angels to serve and worship him
1 John 4:8 ESV
Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.
1 John 4:8–18 ESV
Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us. By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. By this is love perfected with us, so that we may have confidence for the day of judgment, because as he is so also are we in this world. There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.
1 John 4:16 ESV
So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
Both say he is love and not that he has love
we get that mixed up
we focus to much on the fact that we consider him an example of or a representation of love
of his father
we must focus on the fact that he is an embodiment of
not an example of but that he is love
see what an embodiment is a tangible or visible form of an idea, quality, or feeling.
what that means is that he is
being God in the flesh
all of this being part of the fathers master plan
as he needed a man in the flesh to redeem the world
God is love
And one of the qualities of love is that love has to give and share of itself
So if God is love than one of his desires is to share of himself
So again why did he create us
is the little light bulb coming on
Thus his children were birthed
He created us out of His love to share of himself
ex. mother and father create a child
so it was out of love in which he created spirit children
so it was out of love in which he created spirit children
so it was out of love in which he created spirit children
not an example of
better know as man kind
understand that we are all his creation but we are not his children
i will let that sink in a little bit.
there is really no explanation needed with that i don’t think
3. Purpose of creation
mankind was created to share of himself
share in his authority
share in his power
for the purpose of rulership and leadership
And what is really hard for our minds to comprehend is that this kingdom belonged to us before earth was even created
Matthew 25:34 ESV
Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
matt 25:
all this was organized and ordained before your creation
you were kings and queens before you were kings and queens.
that just went over someones head
4. meeting with the God head
In geness God had a meeting with himself
the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost
Genesis 1:26 ESV
Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
The book of genesis is the activity of creation
God spoke and things aligned
this leads the creation of the 2nd kingdom
the manifestation of his eternal purpose
kingdom establishment
family
As his creation we would represent the God head
His plan would be carried out by creating a family
an offspring
that they would act like him
that they would be created in his image
As his children we would be his representatives
by doing such we would release, establish and implement his laws of the invisible kingdom into the visible, natural one
this is the initial reason for creating man
4. Birth of a kingdom
in the book of genesis the second kingdom is born
He spoke and things aligned
much like we are to do
set laws and decrees just as those of the 1st kingdom
Matthew 6:10 ESV
Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
God created the 2nd kingdom earth to be an exact replica of the 1st
God never intended to leave his kingdom and to rule the 2nd
it wasn’t like he got bored and decided he needed something new to play with
But during creation he had a meeting with the God head
Let us create man in our own image and likeness
he didnt create a carbon copy
ex tanner and bry
But what he created was spirit children
ones that would walk like him and talk like him
to share with them the benefits of the kingdom
to walk in power and authority
to be the embodiment of him
See you are not just a carbon copy
you are not an eidetic image
But you are the embodiment of your father
created in his image and his likeness
see the one word “in” in the sentence carries weight
this word causes this statement to mean a living example
see if it was the word “of” it would emphasize a carbon copy
But you were created in his image and likeness
in the image of
in the likeness of
meaning equality and identity of your father
see you were created for a reason
a purpose
your father wanted a family
wanted spirit children
your father wanted you to walk in purpose, power and authority
he desired to share of himself to his children
and i will say it again
we are all his creation be we are not all his children
and so if your father is a king
and if you were created in his image and likeness
does that not make you of royal blodd
see in my eyes and in my definition it does
it makes you a king/queen
one residing in a kingdom
the second kingdom
and if a king/queen
than a ruler of a domain
