THE KING OF GOD IN YOU !

THE KING OF GOD IN YOU ! The kingdom of God is established upon better principles than that of the world ! The Tower of Babel (Genesis 11:1 through 9). "And the whole earth was of one language, and are one speech. And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the East, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there." Man's failure at Babel. Life continued under the Adamic and Noahic Covenants: this is right after the flood; Satan has ruled and rained over humanity. Besides the eight people that were on Noah ark: God in (Genesis 9:1-2). "And God Blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth. And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that is upon the earth, and upon all the fish of the sea; into your hand are they delivered. Every moving thing that liveth shall be full for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things. But flesh with the life that are, which is the blood thereof, you shall not eat." Now go to verse 7: "And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply there is. And God spoken to Noah, and to his sons with him saying, And I,behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you and with every living creature that is with you, of the files, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth. And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off anymore by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth. And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I made between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: I do set my old in the clouds, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud; and I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters share no more become a flood to destroy all flesh." Now the sons of Noah with the women that was on the ark with them after the ark had landed begot sons and daughters: However the nature of Satan was still in the earth ! Genesis 11 and 12 marks an important turning point in the divine dealing. Herefore the history has been that of the whole Adamic race that has been neither Jew nor Gentile; all have been one in "the first man Adam." Henceforth, in the Scripture recorded, humanity must be thought of as a fast stream from which God, in the call of Abram and the creation of the nation of Israel, has but Dawn off a rivulet thoughts which he may at least purify the great River itself. Israel was called to be a witness to the unity of God in the midst of universal idolatry (Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 43:10-12); to illustrate the blessedness of serving the true God (Deuteronomy 33:26 through 29); to receive and preserve the divine revelation and to be the human channel for the Messiah. Man however failed to rule righteously. That both Jew and Gentile have governed for self not for God, is sadly apparent. This failure was seen racially in the confusion of Babel (Genesis 11:9) in the failure of Israel in the period of the theocracy, which close with captivity in Babylon and in the failure of the nations in the "times of the Gentiles" man's rule will finally be suspended by the glorious reign of our Lord Jesus Christ would write to reign is in contestable the dispensation of human government was followed as a specific test of obedience by that of promise, when God called Abram as his instrument of blessing to mankind. However, man's responsibility for government did not cease but will continue until Christ set up his Kingdom however I will continue !
