CONCLUSION
What has been highlighted to me doing this study is the initial part the Father has in bringing about His great purpose through His Son and through the empowering of the Holy Spirit. The Godhead working together for the Father`s great purpose.
God the Father `...having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposes in Himself, that in the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth - in Him.` (Eph. 1: 9 & 10)
In `one` denotes in unity and harmony of all things under Christ`s rulership.
When Christ came as a babe, `a body was prepared for Him.` (Heb. 10: 5) He was born of the right family, (David`s line) and ruling tribe, (Judah) that God had established over Israel.
Christ was appointed Priest by the Father of a new order, a kingpriest and set upon His throne in the highest heavens. This glorified Son of God and Son of Man `sits` enthroned
`far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named , not only in this age but also in the one to come.` (Eph. 1: 21 & 22)
God the Father has bequeathed the nations and all things to His Son.
So not only is this great conqueror, King of Kings, ruling over all, but He is also Lord of Lords, administrating over every detail in all His great kingdom, and finally He is the Father`s heir who takes possession of all the lands, peoples, rulership, realms, and exercises His great power and authority in a reign of Righteousness and Peace.
`For the kingdom of God is not food and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.` (Rom. 14: 17)
