B. Hussein concludes he owns America. He said, “I
won.” He acts as if he is the nation’s property owner. “I won.”
All the while he loses. America loses. The world loses.
Countless
similar secularists agree with B. Hussein’s ownership of Earth. They
have boasted this for decades as they wipe God off the Earth.
However, facts are that mortals don’t own this property. The Earth was created, not by
God the Father. It was created not by
God the Holy Spirit.
The Earth was created by God the Son with the others within the triune godhead agreeing with the Son.
There is perfect unity within the Trinity. God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are
three-in-one—the absolute union. Throughout Scripture’s research one realizes that there is no conflict in the triune godhead.
Christ prayed in his High Priestly Prayer that His disciples would be one as the triune godhead is one.
Specifically,
Christ was appointed prior to Earth’s creation as Earth’s creator. That
is why Christ came to Earth as the incarnate One to redeem His own
property. (See footnote).
That is why Christ will return to Earth as King of kings and
Lord of lords.
He will rightly rule on Earth for one thousand years. Earth is His
property though Satan rules it temporarily as the Prince of the Power
of the Air. However, the Prince is not the King. Christ is. King tops
Prince.
After the one thousand years, then Christ will see
that the Earth is dissolved. The damned will be consigned to the Lake
of Fire and Brimstone. The righteous will be escorted into the New
Heaven and the New Earth.
Christ holds the deed to this Earth. Right now God
in His anger is disciplining unsaved earthlings for their thievery.
They have sought to grasp Earth from Christ’s hands.
One
dare not do that. But because mortal hubris has wrenched the
impossible, God is responding right now with such a divine press
against worldwide population that everyone is squeezed against life’s
wall.
However, note this: Christ not only owns the Earth’s
property deed. Christ owns His own redeemed children. He owns the
saved. He owns the repentant mortals who have committed to service
Christ. These mortals will this to be so.
That ownership
gives to His children the biblical promises that cannot fail. God being
God cannot break His promises. God is eternal integrity.
This
God in Christ has said that He will never leave us or forsake us, that
is, His grace children. He will order the steps of the godly disciples.
He will be their salvation.
The Bible is replete with
incident after incident of God delivering His own from the enemy’s
grasp. He is doing that today as well. Those disciples pressed against
the wall are discovering openings in the wall they had never
envisioned. God is in the openings.
God’s grace children do
not live in the same sphere as the unsaved. We redeemed ones live in
the Christ sphere, that invisible world overseen by Christ. That is why
grace children continually speak to Christ day and night in order to be
covered with His comfort.
That is why grace children remain
calm. “Fear not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord which
He will show you today. The Lord shall fight for you, and you shall
hold your peace” (Exodus
14:13-14).
“Stand still.” Calm. Wait upon Christ.
Grace children come out from among the ungodly. They keep their robes washed in the
blood of the
Lamb. They witness to victory before visible victory is realized.
Grace children continue because they know that “this is the day the Lord has made and we will rejoice in it.”
Grace
children do not lose their joy for they experience miracles from
Christ. They are directed daily to particular Scripture passages just
for that specific moment. The Spirit of Christ speaks to them within
their inner spirits.
Christ owns this Earth. He will see to
it that the ungodly seeking to wrestle Earth out of His holy grasp are
brought to naught. Zero. Crumbled.
Christ also owns His
grace children’s existence. They will it to be so for they know that
outside of Christ’s sphere is damnation. Therefore, grace children
insist that they remain as love slaves inside the Christ covering.
“Fear not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord which He will show you today. The Lord shall fight for you, and you
shall hold your peace” (Exodus 14:13-14).
