The reality of Jesus and how it changed the world

While Rob played hooky, My Christmas message at Legacy was that the baby Jesus, was sent without big fanfare and marching armies, but the next phase of the battle was on. The Same conflict Augustine recognized, the city of man verses the city of God.

….” For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace There will be no end, Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom, To order it and establish it with judgment and justice From that time forward, even forever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this. Isaiah 9:6-7

Nothing can keep Gods hand from accomplishing his purposes, He is Soveriegn….

The Lord of hosts has sworn, saying, "Surely, as I have thought, so it shall come to pass, And as I have purposed, so it shall stand: Isaiah 14:24


This is the purpose that is purposed against the whole earth, And this is the hand that is stretched out over all the nations. 27 For the Lord of hosts has purposed, And who will annul it? His hand is stretched out, And who will turn it back?" Isaiah 14:26-27 (NKJV)


It was declared that the gates of hell will not prevail against this kingdom and its citizens were told to go make disciples...... And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Matt 28:18-20

So even though all around us we might see things falling apart, situations that get worse and worse, it is important to realize what we are looking at. Namely that it is the city of man and its futile thinking that is cratering. It….is built on sand. It is confusing to us, because Christians have gone along with the whole Americana thing and for the most part we have been part and parcel to it. We are not watching a Christian society and biblical Churchs cracking up and failing.

Rather we are just beginning to pick up the ball again after 150-200 yrs of navel gazing, in the name of loving Jesus.

Therefore my people have gone into captivity, Because they have no knowledge; Their honorable men are famished, And their multitude dried up with thirst. Isaiah 5:13

After my message I had one father that asked for some help to see what I was saying, that the Kingdom of God will prevail against the gates of hell. So for 4 weeks(?) I have been giving 5-10 minute thumbnail sketchs of how much the Kingdom of God has advanced since He sent them out.

…..But when they did not find them, they dragged Jason and some brethren to the rulers of the city, crying out, "These who have turned the world upside down have come here too. 7 Jason has harbored them, and these are all acting contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying there is another king--Jesus." Acts 17:6-7

….” The rabble rousers in Thessalonia had quickly grasped the implications of Christianity: another King, another law, a freedom from the state as the ultimate authority, and a freedom to live under God primarily, not under the state…..” Rushdoony
