God`s Plan.
God`s plan is that all rule come under the Lord Jesus Christ. His Lordship is to be pre-eminent over all.
God, `made known to us the mystery of His will,...
that...He might gather together in one all things in Christ.`
(Eph. 1: 10)
The outworking of this is called the restoration of all things.
`the times of restoration of all things,..`
(Acts 3: 21)
This `restoration of all things,` involves not only the restoring of man & the earth to their former glory but amazingly also includes restoration in higher realms. These heavenly realms that were contaminated by Satan & his angels will also be cleansed & authorities put in place under the Lord Jesus Christ.
`For He (Christ) must reign till He has put all enemies under His feet.`
(1 Cor. 15: 25)
The timetable for this `restoration,` begins when Christ leaves the Father`s throne and comes for the Body of Christ.
`that He (God) may send Jesus Christ....
whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things...`
(Acts 3: 20 & 21)
The setting of the Body of Christ in the third heaven as Kings & Priests on thrones, marks the first realm to be restored under Christ`s rule. This is the thrones & dominions realm.
The other two realms, the Universe (Principalities & Powers) & the earth, are the next realms to come under the Lordship of Christ.
God unfolded His plan a bit at a time to different people & we are privileged to be able to read of this throughout His word.
`the times of restoration of all things,
which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets
since the world began.`
