Q: You’re just insane. “Invisible rulership”!? Listen to yourself. Any proof other than twisted scripture and Watchtower literature to back up that claim?
A:
Luke 17:20, Psalm 110, Daniel 2:44
Luke speaks of Jesus describing the kingdom coming WITHOUT striking observableness. (invisible), at Luke 17:20.
Psalm 110 speaks of Jesus ruling “in the midst” of his enemies. So the foremost enemy is Satan, and when he was cast, Jesus kingdom was set up in the midst of Satan and human Adamic kingdom also maturing to the grand finale.
Daniel 2:44 speaks of God “setting up” a kingdom, “IN THE DAYS” of “those kings” AND IT WILL crush and put an end to these rival kingdoms.
What Daniel’s prophecy shows is that during the reign of earth’s kings God would set up a kingdom. That event in itself is not the end of those kingdoms of rival humans, but it would mature to it, and end at Har-Magedon.
The Har-Magedon like kingdom is what people expect from Jesus “coming”, but they also expected to Jesus to be king of Israel when he came as a man. Obviously human expectation, and the way God does things, do not always, if ever, see eye to eye.
This Kingdom must be set-up in this way as well, because the full number of it’s rulership, is incomplete and many members are still flesh. The anointing they receive, over the years, served some purpose of God’s will, as the Apostles, though imperfect, glorified to God’s blessing, while the world found them to be “fools”, and “nuts”.
Continuing in that maturing of the 144,000 purpose towards God’s purpose, in the “last days”, the “time of the end”, it is loving and fair of God, though undeserved by humans, for God to give the world a last warning phase before Jesus comes in unmistakable power, clearly visible in that power on a global scale.
When God visits the planet, it is an epic event, and none will question what is happening, the conquest of the planet from a sinner angelic power in Satan, and from rival human warlords and kingdoms who have been on this course to climax, since the sin of Eden.
This shows that God’s way of doing things can not be known unless God revealed it through his anointed, through Jesus, to warn and invite mankind to avoid the negative consequences of a war with an immortal army of universal proportions, and apply life’s purpose to the positive results of that war’s completion, the removal of everything which is systemically destroying the ability to sustain life on earth, see Rev11:18, and the chief cause of human misery, Satan, and willful sinner humans following Satanic wisdom, which is also “invisibly” leading man to this finale. Rev 16, the dragon, the beast, and the false-prophet “gather” the nations by demonic inspiration and teachings, to the global showdown, Har-Magedon, where Jesus “completes” his conquest.
The wording that Jesus “completes his conquest” also shows that it had stages arriving at that final, completed, conquest. At his death, Jesus stated that he conquered the world. And it is true, it was merely going to take a “short period” of time in retrospect, to fully finalize all the sub-missions leading to his conquest and completion of his further titles and truth, as “world conqueror”, “Prince of Peace”, “Lord of lords” (even war-lords who he shall neutralize), and King, King of kings.
Indisputable, and at that time, progressively clearly seen, globally.
