G-d's Authority

The Kingdom of G-d is the entire domain over which G-d rules. It encompasses four realms; the spiritual, the physical, the internal & external realms.

The Kingdom of G-d consists of every area over which He exercises & demonstrates His dominion. The word "kingdom" is a contraction of "King's Domain" or the "domain of the king."

The term "Dominion" means the authority & ability to rule over something or someone. So, anywhere G-d's authority & ability is ruling is the domain of G-d, where His dominion is in effect.

One person tried to usurp G-d's authority in Heaven (The Spiritual Realm) & he was caught & kicked out, so G-d retained His complete dominion over Heaven.

The same person tried to usurp authority in the Earth (The Physical Realm) & partially succeeded, the reason he partially succeeded is because G-d originally gave authority in the Earth to His Chief Ambassador, a man named Adam who committed high treason & rebelled against G-d leaving a vacant spot for Satan to usurp Adam's authority to rule the Earth.

Now, since that time to now, G-d has been implementing His Master Plan to restore the Earth to His complete dominion once again.

In order to fix the problem with the Earth G-d had to go to the source of the problem, which is Adam & his descendants & to the source of their rebellion, Adam's heart & the hearts of all men (The Internal Realm).

The problem of rebellion against G-d's authority is a defect of the human heart, & in the Torah/Bible the heart symbolically represents the mind & spirit.

Therefore, this is where G-d needed to start reclaiming His dominion - Over the minds & spirits of men; this is why His primary command to the human race is to... Repent!

To repent is to change your mind so G-d can transform your spirit!
When we humble ourselves to G-d & once more seek His dominion over our lives we authorize Him to transform our spirits so that His dominion can be established in our hearts.

When His dominion is established in our hearts we give life to the doctrine that the Kingdom of G-d has come & it is within us. We are then Children of G-d.

After this amazing experience of becoming His children we now have the authority & ability of G-d personally restored to us so that we can once more exercise & demonstrate dominion.

What do we do with this dominion?

We influence culture.

Everywhere we go, in whatever we do, as Children of G-d we influence the culture around us until it resembles the culture of Heaven.

This is the purpose of having our personal dominion restored.

The reason we are changed internally is to have an impact on whichever society, in whichever Nation we live (The External Realm).

The word 'earth' is translated from the Hebrew word 'erets' which means Nations or Societies. The phrase 'filled with the knowledge' means 'to be pregnant with the revelation'.

So, 'the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the G-d’ can be translated as 'Societies shall become pregnant with the revelation of the glory of G-d’.

Now, the word 'glory' here means weight & a weight is something that causes an impact.

If you drop a 5 pound weight on your foot it causes an impact on your senses.

What causes an impact on Societies? What is the weight of a Society?

The weight of a society is its culture.

The culture of a society is what influences or impacts it. Therefore, the culture is the weight & the weight is the glory. So, the culture of a society is the glory of that society.

For instance, the glory of ancient Rome was the Roman culture. The glory of African society is African culture & so forth.

So, when the word said, "...The earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of G-d..." can be translated as, "Societies on earth shall be pregnant with the revelation of the culture of Heaven'.

And this is what we, as Children of G-d need to do; we need to impact the culture of the societies in which we live.

The societies of the world are the external realms of the Kingdom of G-d & our job is to influence these societies until their culture is identical to the culture of Heaven.

The Kingdom of G-d is G-d's rule over a four fold realm; Heaven (The Spiritual Realm), Earth (The Physical Realm), Man's Heart (The Internal Realm) & the Societies of the World (The External Realm).

This is the Kingdom of G-d, and every Child of G-d is both a Citizen & an Ambassador of that Kingdom.

G-d Bless,
