UNION TO KINGDOM GLORY

Matthew 11:11 KJV Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

Some believe THE KINGDOM OF GOD is natural Israel living for God in the middle east with a throne and palace.

They claim the kingdom of God was in the Old Testament times.
And they say this will happen again when Jesus sits on an earthly throne called the throne of David, while the bible actually teaches He is on the throne NOW.

But the Kingdom is a very spiritual entity.

This means John was not in the Kingdom.

And if John was the greatest of all men born of women, and he was not in the kingdom, then no one before John was in the Kingdom.
So it is incorrect to say the kingdom of God was in existence in the old testament.

Jesus came to give the kingdom.

In fact John said the kingdom was coming.

Matthew 3:1-2 KJV In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, (2) And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

The KINGDOM was in the world before.

But only enjoyed for a very brief time.

Genesis 1:27-28 KJV So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. (28) And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

God wants us back in this place of KINGDOM.

The OLD SYSTEM was very individual-oriented and NOT KINGDOM MINDED.

Ministers wanted THEIR KINGDOMS.
Lost burden for GOD'S KINGDOM.
God is shifting this with people who are open to drop their kingdoms and not allow satan to use ANY MEANS to hinder God's kingdom any more.

We are on the verge of KINGDOM CHURCHIANITY.

When we drop our glory and seek the glory of God, WE ENTER A PLACE OF KINGDOM DOMINION.

The bible shows the picture of KINGDOM TRANSITION where God's glory is transferred onto our lives.

Matthew 17:1-2 KJV And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, (2) And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.

2 Peter 1:2 KJV Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,

2 Peter 1:10-11 KJV Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: (11) For soan entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

2 Peter 1:17-19 KJV For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. (18) And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount. (19) We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:

Heeding truth and knowledge of God is like light shining in a dark place, and it shines until the same light begins to ignite and shine out from within us!

It turns us into the same image.
We shine like Jesus shone!.
UNION TO KINGDOM GLORY is when we share the glory and light that shines from Jesus!

We are entering into KINGDOM life.

By getting revelation of union to Jesus to share his glory.
We need grace and peace multiplied to us in order to enter.
It is multiplied through revelation of knowledge of Jesus.
His revelation shines as light entering a dark place and causing the daystar to arise IN OUR hearts and likewise shine.

ATONEMENT means AT ONE with something.

This atonement truth is powerful in scripture.

The high priest sprinkled blood of ATONEMENT on the mercyseat of the Ark.

Leviticus 16:14-16 KJV And he shall take of the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it with his finger upon the mercy seat eastward; and before the mercy seat shall he sprinkle of the blood with his finger seven times. (15) Then shall he kill the goat of the sin offering, that is for the people, and bring his blood within the vail, and do with that blood as he did with the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it upon the mercy seat, and before the mercy seat: (16) And he shall make an atonement for the holy place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions in all their sins: and so shall he do for the tabernacle of the congregation, that remaineth among them in the midst of their uncleanness.

This ritual of blood on the mercyseat made ATONEMENT.

It made something at one with something else.
It made a sinner at one with God again, since sin separated us from God.

Romans 5:11 KJV And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.

Jesus' blood makes us at one with God.

The ark was an integral part of ATONEMENT,
On this model of the THRONE we see ATONEMENT.
AT ONE WITH THE ONE ON THE THRONE.

On the earth this model of the throne of God was to be made.

God would speak from this mercyseat.
It was where blood was sprinkled.
Cherubims eyes would look at that spot where the blood was put on the throne.
EYES represent UNDERSTANDING (Ephesians 1).
So there is a note of UNDERSTANDING something about the blood on the throne, and being AT ONE with God.
When we get a revelation of Jesus' blood shed on the cross, and how He is ATONEMENT, we understand we are at one and seated with Him to exist and live IN HIS KINGDOM POWER.

The blood came from the alter in the Tabernacle and take into the holiest to the throne/mercyseat on the Ark.

Jesus went from the cross (His altar of sacrifice) to the throne of Heaven!
And if we died with Him on that altar of a cross, we are seated with Him on the mercyseat/THRONE in glory!

Ephesians 2:6 KJV And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

We are in the Kingdom seated with Him, and if our eyes could be opened to UNDERSTAND THIS, we would experience far more Kingdom glory in our lives.
That holiest of holies represented the GARDEN OF EDEN.

Genesis 3:24 KJV So he drove out (Heb. Divorced) the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.

Exodus 26:31 KJV And thou shalt make a vail of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen of cunning work: with cherubims shall it be made:

The ark of the covenant was called the GLORY OF GOD.

1 Samuel 4:22 KJV And she said, The glory is departed from Israel: for the ark of God is taken.

It was in the most holy place.

It was in the room that represented the GARDEN OF EDEN.
And the specific barrier to this Garden was the cherubims.
They blocked the entrance.
You could not get in because the cherubims blocked you out.
And when we see the veil blocking the entrance of the holiest, and the same veil embroidered with cherubim, and the same veil removed when Jesus died, we see a representation of the GARDEN OPENED BACK UP TO MANKIND AGAIN.

God blocked man from the Garden because man's sins separated him from God.

When you believe in the cross, your sins that separate you from God are taken away and you can be with God again!

Isaiah 59:2 KJV But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.

God's FACE changes you into his image.

God spoke to the priest from the ark.

He spoke to us through the face of Jesus Christ.
And this is GLORY.

WHEN THE TRUTH OF GOD IS GIVEN, all of this is representing THE GLORY OF THE MOST HOLY GOD SHINING ON YOU words that WILL CHANGE YOU INTO HIS IMAGE.

When the cross occurred and Jesus died and the veil was ripped that had cherubims sewn into it, we see a picture of the Garden opened up to mankind again, where the throneroom of the kingdom was situated.
