Romans 8
Foreknowledge
4 Now the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
5 "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations." - Jeremiah 1:4-5
4 even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love
5 he predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, - Ephesians 1:4-5
Before the creation of the world God knew Kris would choose Him July 1973. Then God said, "I choose Kris."
Two places we go upon death:
Hades
Sheol (place before the cross) Jesus was dead for three days where he went to Sheol. The spirit realm has no time. He went from a time zone to a timeless zone.
Abraham's bosom
When Mary saw Jesus after resurrection, mary fell at His feet and told her, Mary don't touch me because I have not yet ascended to the Father.
Thomas touched the holes in Jesus' hands after Jesus appeared in the room.
When Jesus went into Sheol he went from earn to eternity. He took all the saints captives out of Sheol and when he rose from the dead all the saints rose with him.
6 Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb. He saw the linen cloths lying there,
7 and the face cloth, which had been on Jesus' head, not lying with the linen cloths but folded up in a place by itself. - John 20:6-7
Face revealed but body not yet revealed.
Satan knows who you are. Angels know who you are. It's only you who does not know who you are! You were born to be in a palace but you act like you are in a prison. Heaven will not come to earth until the body knows it's identity as royalty. Women are suppressed by Satan, but If women figure out who she is the devil will be defeated.
Why did Jesus die at Golgotha (skull). Why did Jesus have a crown of thorns? Because he died to break the curse of woman (to be ruled by their husbands) and man (to work the land of thistles).
Who was at the mount of transfiguration
Moses: represented the law. Moses died because he hit the rock instead of speaking to the rock.
Elijah: prophets
But when the archangel Michael, contending with the devil, was disputing about the body of Moses, he did not presume to pronounce a blasphemous judgment, but said, "The Lord rebuke you." - Jude 1:9
Satan wanted the Law alive in Promised Land. Michael protected Grace Land by keeping Moses out.
Law says don't steal, Jesus says cut off your hand if you are tempted to steal. Jesus adds to the law to up the requirements.
10 A stream of fire issued and came out from before him; a thousand thousands served him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him; the court sat in judgment, and the books were opened.
11 "I looked then because of the sound of the great words that the horn was speaking. And as I looked, the beast was killed, and its body destroyed and given over to be burned with fire.
12 As for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was taken away, but their lives were prolonged for a season and a time.
13 "I saw in the night visions, and behold, with the clouds of heaven there came one like a son of man, and he came to the Ancient of Days and was presented before him.
14 And to him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him; his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom one that shall not be destroyed.
15 "As for me, Daniel, my spirit within me was anxious, and the visions of my head alarmed me.
16 I approached one of those who stood there and asked him the truth concerning all this. So he told me and made known to me the interpretation of the things.
17 'These four great beasts are four kings who shall arise out of the earth.
18 But the saints of the Most High shall receive the kingdom and possess the kingdom forever, forever and ever.' - Daniel 7:10-18
We have received the Kingdom when Jesus died in the cross and the time arrived when the Ancient of Days made a decree that allowed the Devil to live without power and gave to the saints with all dominion.
Daniel 7 is not about our future but the church era.
Isn't the world coming to an end? Yes, but the kingdom is coming!
The last days began at the resurrection or Joel's Acts 2. Last days go until their are no day or light... Not on heaven, but on earth. The great Jerusalem will come down to earth. You are praying Heaven down.
If you have a rusted old 55 Chevy, I don't care how much it costs. If I come to see how the work is doing and then say, hurry up and finish, give me the bill. I decided to take it to the dump and crush it for recycling. The quality of workmanship will drop significantly.
Don't expect the earth to be recycled. The earth will have a baptism of fire. Creation is waiting for its born again experience.
How can the world get darker but the church get brighter? If we come to church (our basket) and not become the church on the top of hills where cities are the light gets dim yet the world gets dim. We need to get out of our basket!
Isaiah 2 says that in the last days
He shall judge between the nations, and shall decide disputes for many peoples; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore. - Isaiah 2:4
Mt 24 has been mostly fulfilled except verse 14
Mt 24:14 is "discipling nations" to Kris. [instead of people groups]
The Bible says the devil has had his power taken away (Daniel 7). How does satan have power in the Book of Revelation?
28 "And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions.
29 Even on the male and female servants in those days I will pour out my Spirit. - Joel 2:28-29
Behold, you shall call a nation that you do not know, and a nation that did not know you shall run to you, because of the LORD your God, and of the Holy One of Israel, for he has glorified you. - Isaiah 55:5
KV (not Bethel) Eschatological Beliefs
I will not embrace a view that empowers the devil
Takes away children's future
Sabotages the 3rd command that we disciple nations
Doesn't restore cities
Celebrates bad news bc Jesus returns sooner
Takes promises of God away from our time zone
Great and terrible day of the Lord
Great bc we see Jesus
Terrible bc God judges those who trampled on Jesus
