The topic of Epic Global Gospelization describes the global mission of the Church throughout the balance of time. This week we shall resume this topic in order to highlight the massive importance of adjustment of our way of thinking in order to align with the most important aspect of the scope of the mission Jesus has left for His Church. Today we shall examine the Biblically intended mindset that we should employ so that we can endure thinking about all areas of life as God does, as He patiently waits to establish the global reign of Jesus Christ His Only-Begotten Son!
Old Testament Scripture Reading: Isaiah 2:1 – 5 (KJV)
Isa 2:1 The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
Isa 2:2 And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD’S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.
Isa 2:3 And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
Isa 2:4 And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
Isa 2:5 O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the LORD.
New Testament Scripture Reading: Revelation 19:11 – 16 (KJV)
Rev 19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
Rev 19:12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
Rev 19:13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
Rev 19:14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
Rev 19:15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
Rev 19:16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
Transforming Power Statements:
1) Isaiah reveals to us that God has had a plan that has been moving toward completion against the desires of mankind’s wishes to rule and control the creation for selfish purposes, while constantly rejecting God Himself as being King over the creation. If it were left up to mankind, God would never reign over mankind, therefore, God’s Son Jesus Christ The KING of kings, will rise to power and rule the world from Jerusalem and usher in true and everlasting peace!
2) Believers in Jesus Christ must join Jesus in being light in the midst of darkness and not be ashamed of the Gospel so that the greatest news of the greatest KING will be known through our epic mission to the world which is the Gospelization of all nations, and all for the glory of God through Jesus Christ our LORD!
3) The ultimate deceiver the devil, through the spirit of antichrist is systematically luring people under the illusion of “freedom” into an eternal slavery, and is setting up the world to take control everything for himself, and all who are deceived by him are studying war with the purpose of taking control by force, which will come to an end when Jesus Christ emerges with all believers as His servants to be worshiped!
