THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST
(CHAPTER 2)
First Level - His Creation
Second Level - His Church
Third Level - His Judgements (St. John 16: 7-11)
When Jesus Christ became a man, he was actually a “33 1/2 year old Word Document” that had to be completed like a checklist and than when this Word Document was done, this “Word Document” had to die because all was fulfilled. He did all that the Father required of him to do at this point as the Lamb of God according to the Revelation of Jesus Christ and he became an Eternal Sacrifice forever.
Jesus Christ is divided into 3 “Divisions of Time” and has yet to be finished with all that he has to do as these times indicate:
The 3 Divisions of Time
Revelation 1:8
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
1.) Which was - Jesus as a Man.
First Level - His Creation
When the inheritance started moving and creating, this became that “Which Was” This level than moves up another level from the beginning to the inauguration of Jesus Christ as he is not yet crowned a God.
The Eternal Christ became a man as Jesus Christ and he also became the Lamb of God in order to be a sacrifice forever. Jesus had to die and since he was a new creation as man, he had to be judged before the Courts of Heaven after his death. Never before had a man been made part of the “Godhead” and this particular work and transition had to be justified legally. After this justification, Jesus had to become a Priest forever after the order of Melchizedek (Psalms 110:4). Jesus Christ has yet to be rewarded for what he has done and has not been officially crowned as a God yet, hence, the inauguration of Jesus Christ as a God after the Millennial Reign.
2.) Which is - Jesus’ Priesthood.
This represents Christ’s coming and his Birth, Death, Burial and Resurrection. The birth of his kingdom is that “Which Is” and than he will go from the inauguration and his placement, to the fullness of the Godhead Bodily.
What this means and indicates, is that after Jesus Christ died, he was judged and while he was still in Heaven, he was then trained as a Priest after the Order of Melchizedek. In addition, he had to start and build his own Kingdom which is the Kingdom of Christ so we call this time the “Birth of his Kingdom”.
2 Peter 1:11
For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Jesus drew from the “First Fruits Resurrection” (1 Cor 15:3-7) in order to create his own Court Panel which is called the “24 Elders”
Matthew 27:52-53
52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, 53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.
God the Father has his own 24 Elders and his own Kingdom. Jesus Christ’s Kingdom also has it’s own panel of “24 Elders” which are witnesses and judges and are men chosen by Jesus Christ to help rule his Kingdom and were chosen from this first resurrection of the saints. Revelation 5:8
8 And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints. 9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
God the Father’s “24 Elders” (Rev 4:4) are not men but are “Ancient Ones” that were chosen and appointed to be witnesses and judges to determine the “Truth of God” before time! They are actual impartial judges that have the authority and power to judge God the Father’s Word to determine it’s validity according to “Truth” and are witnesses to these facts. God does nothing without witnesses involving his Word!
Isaiah 44:7
And who, as I, shall call,
and shall declare it, and set it in order for me,
since I appointed the ancient people?
and the things that are coming, and shall come, let them shew unto them.
So, Jesus Christ had to be judged, had to go to school to become priest, had to set-up his kingdom, had to appoint his 24 Elders, had to create the Covenants with God the Father and more before he could send the Holy Ghost on the Day of Pentecost.
Hebrews 7:16
16 Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life. 17 For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
3.) Which is to come - Jesus’ 1,000 year reign as a King. He is Lord of the Earth during the Millennial Reign.
All judgement has been appointed unto Jesus Christ (John 5:22). This “Which is to come” is the thousand year reign and afterwards, his inauguration when he officially becomes a God. From the fullness of the Godhead Bodily of "Word without Time” and “Word with Time,” then onto the new Horizons of God; Presentation of things to come is that (“Which Is To Come”). Then it is finished as far as what is written in our Bible, however, there is much more to come!
If, you have ever wondered why Jesus Christ is called the “Son of God” and also the “Son of Man” than here is your answer. All Christians know Jesus as the “Son of God” but most don’t know that he has to be the “Son of Man” until the 1,000 year Millennial Reign is over as he must “reign as an earthly King” for 1,000 years in order to fulfill prophecy. The reason he has to do this for 1,000 years during the Millennial Reign is because Israel forced God’s hand when they wanted an “Earthly King” to reign over them beginning with King Saul (1 Sam 10:1). Israel forced God’s hand by not wanting him to reign over them through the “Judges” but instead they wanted a “King” like all the other nations around them. They rejected God in this respect, so God gave them their wish and had King Saul anointed King over them which from then on, it became tremendous suffering for Israel with the ups and downs of men ruling them instead of by the “Voice of God” through the Judges. They paid the price for these “Kingly Men” to rule over them as these men sinned, fell from grace, rebelled, disobeyed God and caused Israel to follow after other Gods, etc!
1 Samuel 8:19
19 Nevertheless the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel; and they said, Nay; but we will have a king over us;
Subsequently, Jesus Christ will rule over Israel and the Earthly sheep nations during the Millennial Reign as a king. And when this 1,000 year reign is over, than Jesus Christ will present everything that he has accomplished before God the Father at which time he will receive his rewards and so will we. You see, Jesus Christ has not completed the fullness of his work with the commission that he was given by the Father, however, when he does finish it at the end of the millennial reign, he will move into another anointing. This anointing and new position will be him as a complete and perfect work and he will finally be crowned as God (Jesus will be The Light of the World and The Light of God’s Throne).
The Light is “Truth” as Jesus Christ is the Spirit of Truth, hence, when his “Truth” shines upon God’s throne, it will then be a merger of The Kingdom of Christ and the Kingdom of God.
Revelation 21:23
And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.
