Daniel 4:3 "...His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion is from generation to generation.


Verse 25b
...till you KNOW that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever He chooses.
Verse 26b
...after you come to know that "Heaven rules".

Daniel 4:34 King Nebuchadnezzar's words:
"I lifted up my eyes unto heaven, and my understanding returned unto me... and I blessed the MOST HIGH, and I praised and honored him that liveth forever... whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation.."

Psalm 145:10-13
"All Your works shall praise You, O Lord, and Your saints shall bless You. They will speak of the glory of Your kingdom, and talk of Your power. To make known to the sons of men His mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of His Kingdom. Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and Your dominion endures throughout all generations."

MUSIC TEACHER LESSON: FOR EVER AND EVER (Taking truth a step further...)

This song focuses on Christ’s continual reign upon the earth through his people, yet I also did a search of verses that talk about the “for ever and ever” of the Kingdom of God... focusing on the hereafter, as well.

GENERATION TO GENERATION --- FOR EVER AND EVER

Have you ever stopped to think on the “forever and ever” of God and His Kingdom?

Have you ever stopped to think of the “forever and ever” of YOU?

Have you ever stopped to consider you will be “forever and ever” A PART of His Kingdom, OR you will be “forever and ever” SEPARATED from God?

There is no in-between.

IF YOU SEPARATE YOURSELF FROM HIS RULE OVER YOU, AND THROUGH YOU, NOW ON THE EARTH,
YOU WILL SEPARATE YOURSELF FROM HIS RULE,
AND YOUR RULING WITH HIM, FOR ETERNITY.

STOP ---- AND PONDER THIS...

Heaven and Hell are both eternal places. We enter the Kingdom of God on THIS SIDE of our lives…here and now…while we live...not when we pass on through death. Now is the time of decision.

It's not HOW WE DIE, BUT HOW WE LIVE...

It's WHOSE KINGDOM DO WE DWELL IN ? ... that is important.

At the moment of decision, when you receive what Christ accomplished at the cross, His Spirit comes within you to dwell and to reign. Christ within you is the Hope of Glory. You are given eternal life through Christ. You are reconciled to God your creator.
You become part of His Kingdom…you have become His Kingdom.

The Kingdom of God is WITHIN you. See Luke 17:21.

Yes, have you stopped to consider if you ARE His Kingdom?

All that comes under the Reign and Authority of Christ and Father God through the Holy Spirit is the Kingdom of God.

Believers make up the Kingdom by believing, and then as we join heaven and earth by our believing prayers and our obedience to God through Christ, the Lord’s Prayer is being fulfilled. Christ declared “Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven”.

You and I, allowing Christ to reign IN US… and our reigning THROUGH HIM makes this POSSIBLE. It is HIS will to REIGN within EACH of us, and then as we allow Him to unite us in purpose and commitment to our King, He reigns over all of us, His Kingdom.

Realize the Greatness and Eternal Nature of THE LORD.

Let’s together rejoice in the PRIVILEGE that is ours to be a part of an Eternal Kingdom which is right now within us.

A verse in Ecclesiastes states, “The END of a matter is better than its beginning!” and so if we know what eternity holds…and that which is the end of our faith…as life may get a bit tough in this temporal world, we will be given strength and encouragement as we give Christ Lordship daily in our lives.

THE END
HAS NO END
SO BE WISE
NOW
AT THE BEGINNING
OF YOUR END

Rule and Reign with Christ NOW here on earth, and then look forward to enjoying ruling and reigning with Him throughout eternity.

AMEN!
