Peace in Christ.
We are to seek first the kingdom/government of God and His righteousness.
His government is the real, true, continuous government. Man’s self-based earthly governments will fail as His heavenly kingdom will supersede theirs in this earth. That process will cause “birth pangs” to happen is this earth. It feels like it is starting to happen.
Mat 6:33 KJV
(33) But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
The kingdoms of this world will become His kingdom.
Rev 11:15 KJV
(15) And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
The government of God comes not with “observation”.
Again, His government does not come with the observing of external man-based handwritings of ordinances (as the world and denominational churches do with their “constitutions, statutes, ordinances, etc).
His government is within us as we keep and DO His commandments that are written upon our hearts.
We are within His government NOW which is far above man’s. It is the highest government that we enter into here on earth. Earthly-men will not like their earthly man-based authority lost….but that is too bad as we would rather be in His government than man’s as we can see by the things that are going on in this world.
“When shall the kingdom of God come?” This was asked of Jesus by a “Pharisee”….which means “separatist”.
Luk 17:20-21 KJV
(20) And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
His kingdom is not outside of us but within our own hearts where we know and want to do His commandments. The government is within us and not in a handwriting-based “church”.
(21) Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
A “pharisee” today is a denominational church (and their supporting followers).
They divide (separate) themselves based on their external handwriting of ordinances that the church “scribes” (their handwriting of church ordinances) have written for their congregations to keep and serve rather than God’s.
The handwritings of the church scribes are what EVERY church is built and organized by. They self-govern and judge themselves according to their founding documents rather than do what their King says to do.
They “shut up” the government of God/heaven so that many do not enter in as they worship and serve their external handwritings of ordinances more than God and His commandments. Yet, they say that they are serving God when they instead bow down to their handwritings and worship and serve them.
Mat 23:13 KJV
(13) But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.
In Heaven, His government rules as His will is done. In earth, doing His will puts you in His government on this earth. The kingdom of God = the kingdom of heaven.
Mat 6:10 KJV
(10) Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
The world and its lusts pass away….now…under the judgment of God. The “world” (Greek: kosmos) speaks of the “orderly arrangement”. The governments of earthly men are constructed by their external enumerated handwritings….their “constitutions” … their “orderly arrangements”.
They are given over to a reprobate mind….a rejected mind…as a result to do things which are not convenient. The world has its many problems because of this.
1Jn 2:17 KJV
(17) And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
“Egypt” is a “type” for the world.
The LORD executes judgment against all of the “gods” of Egypt/the world.
The “gods”…the elohim…the “judges”…speaks of their governmental handwritings that they use to judge themselves with. Those of the outside world does not do God’s commandments who is the true Judge.
The world and its lusts pass away as God smites all the “firstborn” in the land of Egypt….in this earth upon man’s governments. The mortal body is the “firstborn” as the natural body is born first and then the spiritual. The world does not understand as it is “night” to them.
Exo 12:12-13 KJV
(12) For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD.
It is the blood of Jesus Christ that redeems us…..not in the keeping and serving of the dead works of church handwritings (“other gods”).
(13) And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.
Again, the “firstborn” is the mortal body which is being struck down in the judgment of God o those who do not believe into Jesus Christ.
1Co 15:46 KJV
(46) Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
The world is condemned already.
Joh 3:17-19 KJV
(17) For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
(18) He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
(19) And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
He takes us through the “sea of reeds”….which signifies a the sea of reed pens that write many handwritings of ordinances (on papyrus). The first reed pens were used to write on papyruses by scribes in ancient Egypt. We escape the world’s governments when we enter into His government….entering into the kingdom of God.
Exo 14:21-23 KJV
(21) And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.
The "middle wall of division" is broken down leaving the water as wall on the right and left hand. (2 walls).
(22) And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.
And the “Egyptians” are not going to like it and their actions will be done in order to display the power and glory of God.
(23) And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the sea, even all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.
It was a “mixed multitude” that went with the children of Israel out of Egypt.
Exo 12:38 KJV
(38) And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle.
We were aliens and “strangers” once without Christ but we are now in Christ Jesus and are made one man both Jew and Gentile.
Eph 2:11-18 KJV
(11) Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
(12) That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
(13) But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
He has broken down the middle wall of partition between us. The law of commandments contained in ordinances is the Reed Sea.
The middle wall was broken down leaving the waters of the Reed Sea as a wall unto us on our right hand and on our left.
“And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left”.
(14) For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
(15) Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;
We walk on “dry ground” as the waters of hostility/bitterness dries up between us as the middle wall of division between us is broken down by Him.
(16) And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
(17) And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.
(18) For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
He reconciles us unto God in one body by the cross (the “tree”) having the slain the enmity….the waters of bitterness or hostility spoken towards each other. The waters are then made “sweet” as our hostility between each other ceases and is replaced with loving language in Christ.
Exo 15:24-25 KJV
(24) And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?
(25) And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD shewed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them,
