Chapter four The Promise of the governor's return before looking closely at the king's plan to restore the governor. Let's review some major points regarding the kingdom of Heaven and its plan for the colonisation of Earth. The king of the eternal invisible Kingdom desire to extend his own nature and influenced the physical realm of earth which he created. The kingdom of heaven is his governance influence over the world, impacting and influencing it with his will, his purpose and his intent. Heaven is God's kingdom, or home country and earth is his colony. Human beings were created in the image of the king and were given the spirit of the king to live within them. The king's spirit gave life to their spirits. Souls and bodies. Human beings were designed to function like their creator king. The presence of the spirit of the king within human beings guaranteed that they would have his character and nature. It also assured that they would be able to rule on earth as he would rule in the heavenly kingdom. Having his very nature of love, mercy, kindness and forgiveness. The king did not desire to rule the earth directly but to cultivate his colony through his Children, who also functioned at his local governors. They were to exercise Dominion over the earth under the direction of the chief governor. The spirit of the king, Adam and Eve's declaration of independence cut humanity off from the king and cause the governor to be recalled by the kingdom of Heaven. The departure of the governor meant the departure of the heavenly government at its direct influence over the colony of Earth. After humanity rebuild against the authority of the heavenly government, The king immediately promised to restore the governor to his Children. The most important promise the creator king ever made to human beings was a promise of the governor would return to live within them because he is the key to life. The restoration of the king spirit to humanity is central to the restoration of his kingdom on earth. All the above leads to this conclusion. This principle purpose of the redemptive program of the creator king and his dealings with human humanity throughout human history was the restoration of the Governor to the colony of earth. In light of this, that's considered the theme of this sacred literature of the old or first testament, also known as the jewish canon of scripture. Some say it's theme is the creation of the monotheistic religion. Others say it's the story of the rise and fall of the ancient Hebrew nation. Still others see it as record of various traditions and rituals. If you look at it in any of these terms. However, we miss, it's crucial essence. What is the significance of the scriptures? Why do we have to, why do we have to account why do we have the accounts of Noah, the patriarchs, Abraham Isaac and Jacob and the story of the nation of Israel. What was the purpose of all the blood sacrifices? Where is their record of priests, prophets, and the lineage of kings? Well, it's events revolve around the people. A nation of Israel. The theme of the old testament is universal. It is the restoration of the key to humanity's experience. It is the key to humanity's existence, the re establishment of the true life for every human being on the planet. The record of the people and events depict the unfolding of the king's plan to restore his spirit within human beings so they can be and do what they were originally intended to do, so they can fulfill their remarkable purpose and potential once again. Okay, The first two chapters of genesis explain the heavenly government planned for expanding the kingdom to earth. The 3rd chapter describes the interruption of this plan and the immediate promise of restoration. From the 3rd chapter, all the way through the last book of the Old Testament, the king's plan for the return of his governor to earth is revealed. All the situations, people and programs we're read about serve these ends. One, they are a continual reminder of the promise of the governor's restoration. Two, they depict the king's intervention in the lives of specific families on earth to preserve a lineage for the offspring who would restore the governor. Three, they picked a prototype of the restoration of the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth. Four. They exposed the fact that only the governor himself can reconnect earth the colony to its heavenly government. Five, they foretell the coming of the offspring, who will personally reconcile the Children's citizens to the king and authorize the return of the governor. In other words, after humanity's rebellion, the king's intent was essentially this. My purpose in creating the world was disrupted and I'm going to correct it. My spirit can no longer live in the earthly residence I created. I will therefore restore my spirit of humanity so my kingdom can function on earth again. Everything depicted in the old testament about the intervention of God in the lives of human beings was ultimately a means to this end, God was revealing to humanity in effect, here's the program. Your rebellion has put you in a hopeless situation. I am therefore going to come to Earth personally, and I will provide a way of restoring purity of heart and wholeness to you so that the governor can come to live in you again. Second, I will reappoint the governor to the colony of Earth to live within you once more and carry out my desire to transform the earth into a reflection of my kingdom. The old testament emphasizes the fact that when Adam and Eve lost the holy spirit, humanity became unholy. I think this word has so many religious images connected with it that we don't really know what it means anymore. We find its essence by looking at what the creator king told the nation of Israel. You will be for me, a kingdom of priests and a holy nation in this instance, he is using the word holy in relation to a nation. It's obvious he's obviously not talking about wearing a cross or a liturgical rube or entering a religious order. So what does the concept mean? There are two related connotations of the word that I want to emphasize here. One of them is pure and the other is devoted or dedicated. These words signify, first of all, something that is set apart specifically and purely for a certain use in this sense of loneliness can be applied to many things. For example, I could sit apart my favorite cup and see. This may only be used by me for drinking hot tea. Nothing else. I have sanctified by second spinning apart and dedicating it for a specific purpose. Thus the word pure in this context means something beyond just clean. It has to do.
