A Psalm of David. The LORD says to my Lord: “Sit at My right hand Until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.” (Psalm 110:1 NASB)

Until…

Do we see the enemies of the Lord made a footstool for Jesus’ Feet?

No, not yet, not yet in reality although I have seen it in the spirit (the spiritual realm) and know that it will happen shortly…

How can some of our brothers and sisters in the Lord believe that Jesus will return soon when this has not become a reality in our earth?

It simply can’t happen…

looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, (2 Peter 3:12a NASB)

How can we hasten the coming of the day of God?

By being involved in His Purpose on this earth…

What is His Purpose on this earth?

And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear. He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come. (Luke 19:11-13 KJV)

How do we occupy?

We multiply…

We fill the earth and subdue it…

Not physically but spiritually…

We simply create more and more and more light…

Each one saves one…

And on and on it goes…

For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. There will be no end to the increase of His government or of peace, On the throne of David and over his kingdom, To establish it and to uphold it with justice and righteousness From then on and forevermore. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will accomplish this. (Isaiah 9:6-7 NASB)

Jesus has been given to us…

Jesus was crowned, “King of the Jews”…

The Jews did shout, “Hosanna to the Son of David” when He entered Jerusalem on the foal of a donkey…

Jesus is now reigning from heaven (with the Government resting upon His Shoulders) at the Right Hand of God the Father waiting for all his enemies to be made a footstool for His Feet (the increase of His Government and of peace)…

Who is going to do this for Him?

The angels?

God the Father?

God the Holy Spirit?

The Church! – empowered by God the Father and God the Holy Spirit and with Jesus Himself continually making intercession for us and yes, with the help of the elect angels sent out to minister to the heirs of salvation – the Church! has been set the task to complete this work…

The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you. (Romans 16:20 NASB)

When is that going to happen?  When Jesus comes back?

No, it must happen before He comes back…

He must remain in heaven until His enemies are made a footstool for His Feet…

How can this practically occur?

Every tongue must confess that Jesus Christ is Lord and every knee must bow to Jesus Christ as Lord…

This is what it takes…

It takes world wide revival and world wide salvation…

Every tongue must confess…

Every knee must bow…

The gods of this earth must be starved as the word has spoken…

The LORD will be terrifying to them, for He will starve all the gods of the earth; and all the coastlands of the nations will bow down to Him, everyone from his own place. (Zephaniah 2:11 NASB)

And all this must happen before Jesus returns from the Right Hand of God in heaven…

Jesus has set a challenge…

That He can complete His work remotely trusting fully in His Church – the twelve (or eleven) whom He trained initially and then those who would believe in their word – He is trusting them (us) to complete this work and He will stay seated in heaven at the Right Hand of God the Father until this occurs…

What a responsibility has been given to the Church – do we really understand this? [Selah]

What greater responsibility has ever been given to anyone in the history of humanity? – think really hard about this [Selah]…

Only the responsibility which Christ took upon Himself when He became sin and paid for the eternal wrath of God against all sin for all time in three hours of human time on the cross – uttering those words, “My God, My God, why have you forsaken Me?”…

What a responsibility…

So we’d better get out there and start trying right?

Wrong…

What God wants us to do is to wait upon His Spirit to come upon us with power and enable us to complete this task…

But there is one thing we can do…

Decide in our hearts that this – the salvation of the world – the full and free worship of God – of Jesus Christ – by all creation under heaven – every human being alive on the planet – we can decide that this end – this climax of human history – is all that we are living for – this is our goal – and we can give ourselves to the Lord to be His vessels (in whatever way He sees fit) to make this a reality in our world – to look towards and hasten the coming of the day of God…

God will not come and punish the disobedient until our obedience – as His Church – is complete…

and we are ready to punish all disobedience, whenever your obedience is complete. (2 Corinthians 10:6 NASB)

And He most definitely will not come and ‘rescue’ His Church from the ‘wicked world in which we live’ until first that entire world has bowed down and from their hearts confessed Him as Lord and God and stated that all their streams are in Him…

He is a Great God and He will be Greatly Praised – there is no ‘rescue’ for a Church who has forsaken Her Purpose in this world – no rescue…
