I generally do not write articles, however The Earth and the World is something I have thought much about. When I came into an understanding that in certain places in the bible the earth and the world are 2 different things, it changed the way I read the bible, or how I understand it in certain readings. The WORLD if you read scriptures very carefully is a spiritual dimension. The EARTH is the natural realm. Nations and Kingdoms of the EARTH are currently under rule by a spiritual realm known in the bible as the WORLD. Many places in the word of God the two meanings/words are used in the same sentence or phrase, hence I beleive they are two different things. If you can get this understanding in your mind and spirit, the Bible will come alive to you all over again, a whole other dimension that you may have not realised exisited in the scriptures. Some might say this is fantasy what I am trying explain here, but I now know different through many challenges this understanding came alive to me. (The Earth and the World)
1 Samuel 2:8 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the EARTH are the Lord’s, and he hath set the WORLD upon them.
Psalm 24:1 The EARTH is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof; the WORLD, and they that dwell therein.
Psalm 98:9 Before the Lord; for he cometh to judge the EARTH: with righteousness shall he judge the WORLD, and the people with equity.
Isaiah 26:9 With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the EARTH, the inhabitants of the WORLD will learn righteousness.
Isaiah 26:17 As a woman with child Is in pain and cries out in her pangs, When she draws near the time of her delivery, So have we been in Your sight, O LORD. 18 We have been with child, we have been in pain; We have, as it were, brought forth wind; We have not accomplished any deliverance in the EARTH, (Gods people) Nor have the inhabitants of the WORLD fallen. (Demonic or those ruling in the Spirit Realm)
There is no deliverance in the EARTH (Natural Realm) because the Inhabitants of the WORLD (The Demonic Spiritual Realm) have not fallen or been subdued by Gods people. The bible reveals the Sons of God will soon be revealed as promised. (The Earth and the World)
When the true church gets this revelation of the WORLD and the EARTH, then the restoration of His Kingdom and rule (something that once was) which the Bible speaks of will begin to manifest in the earth again. Until then we wander the earth building our own Kingdoms. (The Earth and the World)
Satan took Jesus up on to a high mountain to show Him all the Kingdoms of the World. Tell me friends is there a natural mountain any where on earth from which one can see all the KINGDOMS OF THE WORLD? No there is not. So it was not a natural realm situation that Satan was showing the Lord, it was a spiritual dimension. (The Earth and the World)
Matthew 4:8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; 9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. 10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. 11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him
To be clear, He, the Lord, founded or created the WORLD as a governing institution to govern the EARTH. The WORLD is the creation of GOD. He made the WORLD and we, man, have gave up our dominion of the WORLD to another.
Rev 17:8 The beast that you saw was, and is not, and will ascend out of the bottomless pit and go to perdition. And those who dwell on the EARTH will marvel, whose names are not written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the WORLD, when they see the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
Rev 11:15 Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdoms of this WORLD have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!”
The Kingdoms of the World are to become the Kingdoms of the Lord and of His Christ. Plainly the angelic declaration shows us that these Kingdoms of the earth will again be ruled by the Lord and His Christ. Now think for a minute who is the Lord? Jesus of course. Now think for a minute who is the Christ? We ( His people currently in the earth) are. We are the body of Christ and He, the Lord, is the head of the body. (The Earth and the World)
There are Kingdoms in the spiritual dimension called the WORLD that have and will become ours again and all will live in peace. I know them to be the seven kingdoms of influence that currently govern society, and the spiritual realm called the WORLD. These seven kingdoms/mountains are, and were, put in place to govern the natural realm. God put them in the earth as a spiritual institution to govern the EARTH. It was man’s original dominion to rule the Kingdoms of this WORLD (Spiritual Dimension) however we have given dominion of those Kingdoms to another.
So at this time Satan rules over these seven kingdoms of influence, or the Kingdoms (of this WORLD). In this last years (Covid) you see plainly how the Kingdom of media has ruled, how it dissipates information in the earth as a means of controlling the people by fear.
1. Government 2. Media 3. Arts and entertainment. 4. Religion 5. Education 6. Family 7. Business
The seven mountains above are the Kingdoms to be invaded by Gods love through His people currently in earth. The book of revelation reveals who sits or currently rules over the seven mountain of influence currently.
Revelation 17:9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
Finally the so called (spiritual land of milk and honey will be invaded by a people filled with God’s love and new emphasis and understanding of what it means to take the promised land in the spiritual dimension first. There are some giants (spiritual realm) that have gone on ahead of us to occupy the land having heard in the counsels of God what was to happen in the EARTH. However with a better understanding of the WORLD and what it really is in our hearts we will accomplish the true purpose for the church in the days ahead. We will have to really get an understanding of what it really means to GO INTO ALL THE WORLD.
Mark 16:15 And He said to them, “Go into all the WORLD and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He who believes and is baptised will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.
The Earth and The World, The days of becoming a trained missionary to head off to some far distant land has and still does serve Kingdom purposes very well. However the local and national mission field is coming into the local and national Body of Christ’s view. The emphasis has changed and must change. God’s people need to be trained for high office in Government, Media, Arts and Entertainment, Religion, Education, Family and Business. (The Earth and the World)
Filled with His love and moral purpose there are some young people in the church to be singled out and given every opportunity to accomplish God’s purpose for their lives in the seven mountains of influence. What ever it takes, finance or specialist training it must be done. Today’s baby boomers must pour out their lives into the younger generation of God’s people to invade the Kingdoms of the World with a servant’s heart. (The Earth and the World)
One thought that can turn you upside down!
John 3:16 For God so loved the WORLD, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Why does God love the WORLD if it is such a polluted dimension now? Well he loved it so much in its original form, it was perfect system to govern the earth. Again I reiterate that He created the WORLD perfect for His creation man to function in. The WORLD has indeed become morally polluted and dark, however now the purpose of the Sons of God in the Church is to get the WORLD back to its original purpose and present the EARTH back to the father in it’s correct order. In a sense restoring that which was already in place before the fall of man.
This writing can be a bit of a challenge for some as it was for me, some of those long held beliefs get in the way. Especially those who were raised in the Pentecostal church realm as I was. Any current revelation will always challenge the previous days manna or truth. As I previously stated in the beginning of this article, the joy you will feel reading His word is so exciting with fresh understanding from above. Some of Gods hidden secrets in the bible will begin to be revealed to you in a whole new way. (The Earth and the World)
Isaiah 2:2 And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD’S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all NATIONS shall flow unto it. 3 And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. 4 And he shall judge among the NATIONS, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. 5 O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the LORD.
Jeremiah 51:15 He hath made the EARTH by his power, he hath established the WORLD by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heaven by his understanding.
Revelation 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new EARTH: for the first heaven and the first EARTH were passed away; and there was no more sea. 2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. 4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. 5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. 6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is a thirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. 7 He that over cometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. 8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
Looking forward to some comments below. I believe there is a book in the pipeline “The Earth and the World” about this whole biblical subject. Michael.
