We all know the American dogma and belief system, that "All men are created equal." It comes from the declaration of independence of the United States of America and its constitution. It was the basis for the usurping of kingship to create the form of government we know as democracy. From this single idea, which came from man, we have let it spread into every area of our lives. It isn't fundamental for this reason. For if it was true to the core of creation then it would be happening the other way around. Man would be making the idea "All men are created unequal" and this idea would be spreading out against every area of our lives. God made man in differing glory from each other. Some are great and some are small. But mankind wants to deny this reality entirely because they do not want God to be ruler over them. Consider this passage:
Then all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah and said to him, “Behold, you are old and your sons do not walk in your ways. Now appoint for us a king to judge us like all the nations.” But the thing displeased Samuel when they said, “Give us a king to judge us.” And Samuel prayed to Yahweh. And Yahweh said to Samuel, “Obey the voice of the people in all that they say to you, for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected me from being king over them. According to all the deeds that they have done, from the day I brought them up out of Egypt even to this day, forsaking me and serving other gods, so they are also doing to you. ~1 Samuel 8:4-8
Now bear in mind the last verse. Here God declares what it is they are doing in asking for a king: that they are "forsaking and serving other gods." We can understand from this that the people together will only continually forsake and serve other gods in every area of our lives. As the people did this to God in the wilderness so they also did to Samuel and as they then did to Samuel in asking for a king so will they also forsake their king and serve other gods. Deeper and deeper into their own shackles of sin and doom, the people will continue to go from bad to worse without any remedy. But you must not follow along with them or let their words sink into your ears. For though they come with an air of righteousness, that is all they come with and you must beware them lest you get caught with them in their iniquity.
Mankind is using this idea, that "all men are created equal" to rebel against kingship and with it apply a sameness to everything human. Male and female are swapped with each other in their roles and homosexuality is legalized. None of this comes from God. For God himself made one man greater than the other and this is true throughout scripture. For so we see that what is plain to all is thrown out entirely as if it never existed as it is written here:
And Isaac sowed in that land and reaped in the same year a hundredfold. Yahweh blessed him, and the man became rich, and gained more and more until he became very wealthy. He had possessions of flocks and herds and many servants, so that the Philistines envied him. (Now the Philistines had stopped and filled with earth all the wells that his father’s servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father.) And Abimelech said to Isaac, “Go away from us, for you are much mightier than we.” ~Genesis 26:12-16
You see it was plain to them that Isaac was greater than themselves and they were envious and even tried to stop them from being great. In the same way Paul describes the disciples having seen what sort of grace was given him here:
and when James and Cephas and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given to me, they gave the right hand of fellowship to Barnabas and me, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised. ~Galatians 2:9
So this greatness is plain to be seen and yet they want to throw it all out. God himself declared what he does in establishing rule in the earth with Nebuchadnezzar.
The sentence is by the decree of the watchers, the decision by the word of the holy ones, to the end that the living may know that the Most High rules the kingdom of men and gives it to whom he will and sets over it the lowliest of men.’ ~Daniel 4:17
God particularly chooses lowly men to be in high position. This is God's way but man doesn't want it to be based off of his decision. Here we see that even in the kingdom of heaven there is inequality.
Other seeds fell on good soil and produced grain, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. ~Matthew 13:8
So we know that God makes some of us to produce more than others and some of us to produce less. Here again God declares that both the great and the small are with him:
And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done. ~Revelation 20:12
He has made us to be of differing measures, some great and some small. Therefore do not go along with the rest of the world in applying equality and sameness where there isn't. For even when it says this in scripture:
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. ~Galatians 3:28
This does not do away with our inequality of measure in the kingdom. But this has to do with our unity in Christ since it is through one man that we are united. Therefore understand that we are united through one man, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords and Kingship belongs to the Lord Yahshua forever and ever and that we all are under him to serve him both now and forever.
Amen.
