01/17/11 SS CLASS... SS, AM & PM LINKED MESSAGES on God as King
SS... God is Supreme Sovereign, (Sovereign of sovereigns, King of kings, Lord of lords).
As Supreme Sovereign, He has given limited sovereignty to His creation (angels and humans).
Sovereigns deal with rebels (Lucifer, Adam).
He is Supreme because He is unique, superlative, contrasted rather than compared (see more below).
NOTES AND PASSAGES FROM SS CLASS...
GOD IS THE ETERNAL KING
1 Timothy 1:17
(17) Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
Prehistory reveals the Kingship and hierarchy of God, as seen in Lucifer, the chief of angels.
Lucifer was created to be a...
Prince (appointed to rule the angels),
Prophet, God's spokesman to the angels, and
Priest, representing the angels in worship to God.
This “prince” chose to leave his first estate (Lucifer [light bearer] became Satan [adversary])
Jude 1:6
(6) And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
Satan's new domain would be earth, if he could take it from Adam.
Adam was told to take dominion of the earth.
Genesis 1:26-27
(26) And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
(27) So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
God imparted to humans His Own likeness, which included Righteousness, Life, Sovereignty.
Our righteousness is derived from God and dependent on Him.
Our life is derived from God, and dependent on Him.
Our sovereignty (free will) is derived from God and subject to His sovereignty.
When Adam followed Satan, he gave away his right to dominion, to Satan.
Satan became the prince of the power of the air, the god of this world.
Satan rules over the powers of darkness and in the hearts of unsaved mankind.
SOVEREIGN OF SOVEREIGNS
Proverbs 8:15
(15) By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.
Romans 13:1
(1) Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
Revelation 17:14
(14) These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
Revelation 19:16
(16) And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
UNIQUE
God is the eternally existent One. Only God is eternal.
Lucifer was created, he had a beginning.
We receive eternal life, but we have not always existed.
NO GOD BEFORE, ABOVE, BESIDES OR AFTER THE GOD OF THE BIBLE
Isaiah 43:10-11
(10) Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.
(11) I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no savior.
Isaiah 44:6
(6) Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.
Isaiah 45:5-6
(5) I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:
(6) That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else.
Exodus 20:2-3
(2) I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
(3) Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
ALPHA AND OMEGA, FIRST AND LAST, BEGINNING AND END
Revelation 22:13
(13) I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
HE NEVER CHANGES
Hebrews 13:8
(8) Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever.
Malachi 3:6
(6) For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
James 1:17
(17) Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
AUTHOR AND FINISHER OF FAITH
Hebrews 12:2
(2) Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
ONLY ONE TRUE AND LIVING GOD (God by nature)
Jeremiah 10:10
(10) But the LORD is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation.
1 Thessalonians 1:9
(9) For they themselves show of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God;
FALSE gods MANY (gods by godless appointment)
1 Corinthians 8:5-6
(5) For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,)
(6) But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.
Galatians 4:8
(8) Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods.
FALSE gods ARE...
Pretenders and Presumers to the Throne;
Intruders and Invaders of the Temple;
Unworthy and Unqualified Usurpers of the Crown
WE MUST CHOOSE TO FOLLOW SUPREME SOVEREIGN.
I addressed "God as King" in SS, AM and PM services. The points were as follows.
I. GOD IS THE SUPREME SOVEREIGN (SS CLASS)
II. GOD IS THE KING OF CREATION (AM)
III. GOD IS THE LORD OF LIFE (PM)
IV. GOD IS THE RIGHTEOUS RULER (PM)
V. GOD IS THE BENEVOLENT BENEFACTOR [TO ALL MEN] (PM)
VI. GOD IS THE GIVER OF EVERY GOOD AND PERFECT GIFT [TO BELIEVERS] (PM)
VII. GOD IS THE JUST JUDGE (PM)
VIII. GOD IS THE RESURRECTED, RETURNING RULER, THE CONQUERING KING OF KINGS AND LIFE GIVING LORD OF LORDS (PM).
