Hi ebedmelech,
I do agree with you as to the Lord having all authority and power. We agree also that He is at the right hand of the Father using this great authority and power to rule over the Body of Christ, interceding for us, building, and maturing His Body of believers.
However......we do not see the Lord operating His rulership over the nations just yet. ewq said it very well.
Now you never answered my question even though I asked twice, but you kept evading behind scriptures we both agree on, that the Lord has all authority and power. Yet you don`t give any scripture to SHOW when or HOW He is or will rule over the nations. So let me help you...
Ps. 2: 1 - 9 `Why do the nations rage, and the peoples plot a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves against the Lord and against His anointed, saying, "Let us break their bonds in pieces and cast away their cords from us."
He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; the Lord shall hold them in derision, then He shall speak to them in His wrath and distress them in His deep displeasure; "Yet I have set my King on my holy hill of Zion."
`"I will declare a decree; The Lord has said to me, "You are my Son, today I have begotten you. Ask of me & I will give the nations for your inheritance and the ends of the earth for your possession. You shall break them with a rod of iron; You shall dash them in pieces like a potter`s vessel."
So we see that this is yet future when the nations, the kings of the earth go (together) against God. Then we shall see the Son taking His inheritance and ruling over the nations.
