Or act like we have a mandate to establish His kingdom for ever here on earth?
Isa 9:7 Of the
increase of his government and of peace there will be no end, on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time forth and forevermore. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will do this.
I was reading the above verse just now and was wondering how much we really believe this...now I am not a preterist, but I was just thinking what our attitudes should be if we really believe we are in the end times Or if we believe there will be an "end times".
Does God want us to just roll over and wait it out? Chancellor mentioned before about hindering prophecy...well I am asking how much do we want to SEE this prophecy fulfilled?
Does this prophecy only begin after the Rapture in your mind? Or did this begin from the time He was born until now?
Isa 9:6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Isa 9:7 Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end, on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time forth and forevermore. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will do this.
Just how much responsibility in all this belongs to His church to establish His Kingdom.
