THE FOUR SPIRITS in History.
When Jesus ascended to the Father, He was made Head of the Body and began to build and mature the believers. The Father meanwhile was working to bring the Lord`s enemies, to His footstool for judgment.
`The Lord (Father) said to my Lord, (Jesus), “Sit at my right hand till I make your enemies your footstool.” (Ps. 110: 1)
These enemies are the nations of the world which seek to cast aside God`s righteous rulership and bring in lawlessness.
`Why do the nations rage and the people plot a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord and against His anointed saying, “Let us break their bonds in pieces and cast away their cords from us.” (Ps. 2: 1 – 3)
The nations consider that they control their own affairs and that they are the sole arbiter of their destiny. However, there is a higher authority that will bring the nations to judgment.
Past world rulers have all come and gone – Babylon, Medes and Persians, Greece, and Rome. There has not been a world ruler since. However, at the appointed time God sent out four great powerful angels to bring together the nations into great Federations and then bring them together for judgment.
