Introduction
What is being proven extensively here is that the universal question of who will rule mankind is the question the majority of humans will be called to answer since Abel. The exclusive Messianic Kingdom provision is NOT the end all, but the MIDDLE of the controversial resolution of this issue. The Messianic Kingdom is the means to a greater end, not the end all itself, but the new beginning of mankind by Jesus Christ’s perfect deliverance of fallen mankind into a human perfection; (1John2:2). Heaven’s Messianic Royal family is limited to 144000, not a mass exodus of the majority of mankind to heaven; (Rev 5:9-10; 14:3-4; 20:4-6) Believing otherwise is distracting many humans from the issue that needs to be resolved individually by full repentance; (2Pet3:9; Luke24:47) Admission and repentance is the FIRST step to answering Satan’s accusation and charges in God’s sovereign favor.
This human perfection salvation in Last Adam is the resolution of the sovereignty issue that Jesus Christ performed perfectly in favor of God’s rulership for a very HUMAN integrity reason first, and a Messianic reason later; (Prov27:11; Heb4:15). This issue was brought forth through mankind on earth by Satan the challenger in Eden, and this issue must be settled in mankind on earth as the final phase of the sovereignty controversy as Revelation 20-22 illustrates.
FIRST Christ resolved the heaven issue in God’s Kingdom IN HEAVEN; (Rev12:7-10). God’s much older Universal Kingdom is the means by which the Messianic Kingdom was purposed, born and empowered AFTER that pattern, but with an earthly sovereignty as the objective LAST; (Gen3:15; Matt6:9-10). And by that humankind will also take part in a perfect resolution of this question of sovereignty on earth in the end through Satan’s temptation of perfect mankind in Last Adamic sinless state; (1Cor15:24-28; Rev20-22; Heb2:14)
This will explore the priority of God’s Super-Universal Kingdom. The Eternal Kingdom of the King of Eternity; super universal in that God’s Kingdom encompasses HEAVEN, the material universe and the earth – it is actually beyond universal. The Messianic Kingdom is a younger Kingdom with the express objective of installing a 1000 year duration proxy sovereignty over EARTH through Jesus Christ the King of that Messianic Kingdom with the 144000 ruling king-priesthood; (Matt19:28; Rev7:1-8; Rev14:1)). But Jesus is also a King with Jehovah in the older covenant he made with Jehovah also for a Kingdom before he came to planet earth as a human born “second man” out of heaven; (Luke22:28-30; 1Cor15:47).
See [UniversalCovenant]
Christ will hand back all earthly sovereignty to God when his full mission with the 144000 Messianic New Jerusalem is complete and solidly founded over the heavens and earth of this material universe; (1Cor15:24-28)
God’s will for earth as stated in Genesis 1:27-28 cannot and will not change. In Eden’s sin, God purposed a solution to Satan’s sovereign charge by providing mankind a divine perfect sovereignty from their own human origins, former human beings glorified through Christ’s blood into a ruling heavenly one world government, the Messianic Kingdom Administration of Ephesians 1-3. This will replace and destroy Satan’s Kingdom of Ephesians 6:12 currently ruining the earth and the world of mankind; (Luke11:18; Rev11:15-18)
God’s Kingdom FIRST, the Messianic Kingdom over earth NEXT, and mankind’s perfection and resolution of the issue of God’s rulership LAST.

Heaven and Earth: Two Realms and Two Kingdoms Related to those Realms
The material universe, and it’s heavens and earth are much younger than the spiritual realm of Heaven:
See [1] Heaven, Heavens and Earth
We are made aware therefore that there are two realms of existence with beings who are in God’s image as the righteous older angels, and a material human creation which was in God’s perfect image as well; (Gen1:27-28; Prov8:22-31; John1). We see clearly from the bible the difference in these realms, one is spiritual and older, the other is material having come into existence after the spiritual realm; (Gen1-2)
So God has always had The Kingdom, he is the King of Eternity, and His Kingdom is therefore also an eternally existent element He rules as the Almighty God, the ONLY eternally existent Becomer/Creator in all eternity of existence.
(1 Timothy 1:17) 17 Now to the King of eternity, incorruptible, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
Everything else came into existence through The Word, The One Son Jehovah personally created as his ONLY begotten Son known today as Jesus Christ, known in that Heaven as Michael the ancient angel; (Rev22:16) Since he was with God from the beginning he was ancient before he became chief angel for there were no other angels in existence; (Prov8:22; John1:1-18; Mic5:2)
These “sons of the true God” came into existence through Michael by Jehovah’s power of Creation being The Creator Jehovah. Then Michael came to be the Master Worker and Archangel by firstborn priority, and by position. There is only one Archangel and type, the “master pattern” of all the angelic types. The Son is Unique. Though born mortal like all the angels, he has become better than the angels, and exalted to a superior position of Mighty God in immortality and incorruptibility like his Father Jehovah due to extreme diligence in the performance of Jehovah will PERFECTLY for 6000 years of a 7000 year mission;(Heb1:3-6; Phil2:5-11; Isa53)

Jehovah God’s Universal Kingdom of Heaven
Now we see this Universal Kingdom of God has been symbolized as a “mountain”. Mount Zion:
(Psalm 48:1-2) Jehovah is great and much to be praised In the city of our God, in his holy mountain. 2 Pretty for loftiness, the exultation of the whole earth, Is Mount Zion on the remote sides of the north, The town of the grand King.
(Isaiah 24:23) And the full moon has become abashed, and the glowing sun has become ashamed, for Jehovah of armies has become king in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem and in front of his elderly men with glory.
(Psalm 99:1-2) Jehovah himself has become king. Let the peoples be agitated. He is sitting upon the cherubs. Let the earth quiver. 2 Jehovah is great in Zion, And he is high over all the peoples.
==
Messianic Kingdom Cut From The Mountain (God’s Kingdom)
Now we see LATER, a new “stone” is cut “not by hands” human, from the pre-existing “mountain” of Zion:
(Daniel 2:44-45) 44 “And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin. And the kingdom itself will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite; 45 forasmuch as you beheld that out of the mountain a stone was cut not by hands, and that it crushed the iron, the copper, the molded clay, the silver and the gold.
We see this “stone” must itself become an earth filling “mountain” as well – The Messianic Kingdom over earth:
(Daniel 2:34-35) You kept on looking until a stone was cut out not by hands, and it struck the image on its feet of iron and of molded clay and crushed them. 35 At that time the iron, the molded clay, the copper, the silver and the gold were, all together, crushed and became like the chaff from the summer threshing floor, and the wind carried them away so that no trace at all was found of them. And as for the stone that struck the image, it became a large mountain and filled the whole earth.
And this Messianic Kingdom is “set up” in the final part of the days, “in the days” of certain kings which will be identified later; (Rev16:13-16):
(Daniel 2:44) “And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin.
We have there two Kingdoms because of a controversial issue that has arisen on planet earth among mankind, an issue raised by Satan in Eden concerning divine sovereignty on earth as his “proving ground”, a controversy over whose laws and rulership shall prevail over earth; Satan’s and self-willed human rulership, or God’s rulership. Though Satan gutlessly raised the issue from behind a mere woman, we see the impact of this issue also affects heaven’s sovereignty and God’s slandered name. That WILL be permanently resolved in ALL realms, not if, but ensured by God Himself.

Problem: Sovereign Supremacy of Jehovah God Challenged First on Earth
Anointed Cherub of The ‘Garden of God’ in Eden
Though this controversial rulership issue of sovereign supremacy affects heaven, it was commenced through humans on earth, that is where the rebellious action was first manifested. This was brought about by self-willed actions of Satan the Devil, an anointed cherubic angel of former righteousness, now a cataclysmic failure and failed mission overseer:
(Ezekiel 28:12-15) “‘“You are sealing up a pattern, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. 13 In Eden, the garden of God, you proved to be. Every precious stone was your covering, ruby, topaz and jasper; chrysolite, onyx and jade; sapphire, turquoise and emerald; and of gold was the workmanship of your settings and your sockets in you. In the day of your being created they were made ready. 14 You are the anointed cherub that is covering, and I have set you. On the holy mountain of God you proved to be. In the midst of fiery stones you walked about. 15 You were faultless in your ways from the day of your being created until unrighteousness was found in you.
==
Angelic Bloodguilt
This anointed cherub angel is the first sinner in all universal history. He is described as a sinner, liar and murderer:
(1 John 3:8) He who carries on sin originates with the Devil, because the Devil has been sinning from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was made manifest, namely, to break up the works of the Devil.
(John 8:44) That one was a manslayer when he began, and he did not stand fast in the truth, because truth is not in him. When he speaks the lie, he speaks according to his own disposition, because he is a liar and the father of the lie.
We do note that this bloodguilt in the human sin and death responsibility is noted here, because it will also be resolved here on earth. We see Satan’s lie recorded in Genesis 3:1-17, and though Adam and the woman did sin as well in free will Devil worship:
(Genesis 3:1-5) Now the serpent proved to be the most cautious of all the wild beasts of the field that Jehovah God had made. So it began to say to the woman: “Is it really so that God said you must not eat from every tree of the garden?” 2 At this the woman said to the serpent: “Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat. 3 But as for eating of the fruit of the tree that is in the middle of the garden, God has said, ‘you must not eat from it, no, you must not touch it that you do not die.’” 4 At this the serpent said to the woman: “you positively will not die. 5 For God knows that in the very day of your eating from it your eyes are bound to be opened and you are bound to be like God, knowing good and bad.”
We see Satan worked through the less experienced and younger human, the woman – and by this Adam also sinned, and by this Satan incurs human blood-guilt which will be taken from his head in the final accounting; (Gen3:15; Heb2:14) and in God’s wisdom and justice former humans will be aiding Christ in the execution of the demons; (Rom16:20; 1Cor15:54-55)
See [First Curse]
==
Slander Against God and Terminal Human Death
We see this was a slander against God’s character as well, implying a selfish dishonest motive behind God’s divine law in Eden regarding the ‘tree of the knowledge of good and bad’. We see as well that Satan lied to the woman, and from her accepting that lie, Adam eventually also joined in the sin, an attempted theft of the knowledge of God regarding the sovereign definition of legal and illegal “realities”. Man became their own sovereign judge, but in reality Satan was the new sovereign guide in sin with a purpose; Controlling humans by a fear of death through sin and death as mankind’s rival “sovereigns” to cause all humans to join him in sin and rebellion and great blood-guilt as well:
(Romans 5:14) Nevertheless, death ruled as king from Adam down to Moses, even over those who had not sinned after the likeness of the transgression by Adam, who bears a resemblance to him that was to come.
(Romans 5:21) To what end? That, just as sin ruled as king with death
(Hebrews 2:14-15) Therefore, since the “young children” are sharers of blood and flesh, he also similarly partook of the same things, that through his death he might bring to nothing the one having the means to cause death, that is, the Devil; 15 and that he might emancipate all those who for fear of death were subject to slavery all through their lives.
Adam and Eve both fell under the divine death curse due to sin from that transgression in Eden, they died; (Gen3:17)
This allowed the human world to be enslaved in terminal death, systemically spread in all humanity through the first human beings Adam and Eve, and this is where Satan also received the first curse, upon him, to a judgment of death:
(Genesis 3:14-15) And Jehovah God proceeded to say to the serpent: “Because you have done this thing, you are the cursed one…15 And I shall put enmity between you and the woman and between your seed and her seed. He will bruise you in the head and you will bruise him in the heel.”
(John 16:11) then concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.
(Ezekiel 28:16) And I shall put you as profane out of the mountain of God, and I shall destroy you, O cherub that is covering..
Important Difference Between Heaven and Earth’s Sin Severity
We may note a crucial difference between the issue Satan raised on earth that also became the demon falling away in heaven; (Gen6; Jude6). Earth is systemically captured in sin and death to the last Adamic man. Heaven’s angelic life system is only sinful in an isolated one-third of the angels as fallen demons – it is not terminally compromised systemically, death is not a tool of heavenly coercion and oppression as it is on earth; (Heb2:14). Heaven only required a “surgical” removal of the septic spiritual tumor of Satan at Revelation 12:7-10, to be fully holy again; (Eze28:27)
Earth required a saving act in humanity far greater, to replace the root of sin and death; Adam. Forgiveness of sins by Jesus Christ’s blood, is NOT all that will be required to reach human perfection. Christ provides a replacement also for Adam’s sinful body, in Last Adam, the “lamb that takes the sin of the world away”, that is Adam himself “AWAY”, removed, by providing humans a perfect alternative in actual everlasting life and actual perfection. Christ replaces the Adamic patriarch ENTIRELY, Christ will be called Eternal Father as Last Adam, the new patriarchal father of humanity; (Matt19:28; Isa9:6)
God permitted Satan to raise his issue and accusation in heaven temporarily, to further glorify Michael/Christ with the holy angels when they bashed Satan and demon faces from that realm, forever shutting their mouths in heaven permanently, giving Satan “exodus” with a kick in the pants on the way out the “door”; (Ex9:16)
==
Satan’s Seed
We see though Satan has others in his rebellion from the angelic realm. We may note here, his sovereign usurping criminality is NOT systemic, he only drew a third of the heavenly angels to side in Satanic sovereignty, sinning against God, and becoming demons, and Satan’s “angels” in his founded rebel kingdom defiant to God:
(Revelation 12:3-4) And another sign was seen in heaven, and, look! a great fiery-colored dragon, with seven heads and ten horns and upon its heads seven diadems; 4 and its tail drags a third of the stars of heaven, and it hurled them down to the earth; (Gen6)
(2 Peter 2:4) Certainly if God did not hold back from punishing the angels that sinned, but, by throwing them into Tartarus, delivered them to pits of dense darkness to be reserved for judgment
(Jude 6) And the angels that did not keep their original position but forsook their own proper dwelling place he has reserved with eternal bonds under dense darkness for the judgment of the great day.
(1 Peter 3:18-20) Why, even Christ died once for all time concerning sins, a righteous person for unrighteous ones, that he might lead you to God, he being put to death in the flesh, but being made alive in the spirit. 19 In this state also he went his way and preached to the spirits in prison, 20 who had once been disobedient when the patience of God was waiting in Noah’s days
(Matthew 25:41) cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the Devil and his angels.
This Satanic “seed” was already noted in Genesis 3:15 at the time of the sin, so we cannot know, but can assume certain demonic attitudes were already developing, since Satan’s seed would include humans as well, but his demonic seed is the more powerful and evil aiding this Satanic rebellion. In both cases of holy and evil “seeds” seen here, BOTH came from spirit realms first, into the human realm in time:
(Genesis 3:15) And I shall put enmity between you and the woman and between your seed and her seed.
This is noted as many speculate Satan tempted the demons later, due to the later manifestation and record recorded at Genesis 6. Yet there is no definite indication, Satan may very well have been developing his ideas in others even prior to the Edenic manifestation of Satan’s sin. Hence his “seed” is already mentioned in Eden, and it does include humans and demons who follow Satan’s evil will, and no doubt his temptation continued on to the flood itself. We can assume that at some point the temptation to God’s angelic sons was completed by the time of the flood, and the eternal bonds of the judgement upon the demons; (Jude6; Gen6; 1Pet3:19; 2Pet2:4-5)
In any event, Satan has a developed “seed” in both spirit and material realms:
(Ephesians 2:2) according to the system of things of this world, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, the spirit that now operates in the sons of disobedience.
(1 John 4:4-6) 4 you originate with God, little children, and you have conquered those persons, because he that is in union with you is greater than he that is in union with the world. 5 They originate with the world; that is why they speak what proceeds from the world and the world listens to them. 6 We originate with God. He that gains the knowledge of God listens to us; he that does not originate with God does not listen to us.
(John 8:43-44) Why is it you do not know what I am speaking? Because you cannot listen to my word. 44 you are from your father the Devil, and you wish to do the desires of your father.
(1 John 3:8) He who carries on sin originates with the Devil, because the Devil has been sinning from the beginning.
(1 John 3:10) The children of God and the children of the Devil are evident by this fact: Everyone who does not carry on righteousness does not originate with God, neither does he who does not love his brother.
Satan therefore has a rival sovereignty over mankind from the spirit realm, also extended though proxy evil and misled humans.
(Matthew 12:26) In the same way, if Satan expels Satan, he has become divided against himself; how, then, will his kingdom stand?
(Luke 11:18) So if Satan is also divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand?
(Revelation 12:9) the one called Devil and Satan, who is misleading the entire inhabited earth..

Universal Operating Room: Surgical removal of Satan and the Demons
This is a complex situation that will require the surgical eradication of Satan and the demons in 4 phases.
The Flood
Satan’s removal from access to materializations into earth was the first; (Gen6; Jude6)
The Casting from heaven
His ouster from heaven to earth and it’s “heavenly places” as in Rev12:7-10 was second.
Abyss POW of Armageddon War
At Armageddon, when the “heavens” are “rolled up like a scroll”, Satan will be removed from earth to “chained, shut and sealed” abyss, as the third, a full but temporary neutralization; (Rev20:1-3; Isa24:21; Isa34:4)
Lake of Fire
The fourth and final downgrade of Satan and the demons for their criminal usurpation of God’s sovereignty from the realm of heaven and the spirit worlds is to the final resort “retirement”, the ‘Lake of Fire’ permanent extermination; (Rev20:10) This fulfills the serpent curse of Gen3:14-15, the first curse, the first prophecy.
=======
The Bible Addresses All the Details of The Sovereign Controversy
1. God’s Will Unchangeable – The bible lays out in complete detail the promise of God to restore this irreversible will of God on earth:
(Genesis 1:27-28) And God proceeded to create the man in his image, in God’s image he created him; male and female he created them. 28 Further, God blessed them and God said to them: “Be fruitful and become many and fill the earth and subdue it, and have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and every living creature that is moving upon the earth.”
God identified in the first biblical prophecy the means by which this issue would be resolved on earth:
(Genesis 3:15) And I shall put enmity between you and the woman and between your seed and her seed. He will bruise you in the head and you will bruise him in the heel.”
Jesus Christ who became that perfect seed of God’s “woman”; (Gal3:16), showed that this Kingdom in a powerful unity of purpose would be intimately involved with that will of God being done on earth as it is in heaven, so this unified will of God is completely inter-related:
(Matthew 6:9-10) “‘Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified. 10 Let your kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also upon earth.
The Christ “seed” solution has thus been known since Eden, the “founding of the world” in sin; (Eph1:4; Rev13:8) This is where this was addressed as a perfect counsel of God’s power to complete his sovereign restoration upon the human and material realm that had fallen 100% into Satanic control by sin and death; The fact that earth and the human world, and all creation of this earth and physical universe is involved is also shown in the human world kingdom which Christ is taking over with God:
(Revelation 11:15) And the seventh angel blew his trumpet. And loud voices occurred in heaven, saying: “The kingdom of the world did become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he will rule as king forever and ever.”
See [God's Will]
2. God’s Sovereignty is the Key Life Issue – This also reinforces the main sovereign restoration that will ensure God’s will is done on earth, and that is Jehovah recovering also 100% of his Sovereign Supremacy over earth and the material universe, just as He has in heaven. This will also sanctify Jehovah’s name because His name means His purposeful power to do whatever it is He states that He will do; (Isa 55:11)
3. Messianic Kingdom is the Earth and Human Directed Sovereign Power – The bible therefore lays out in exact detail why there came to be a Messianic Kingdom in complete unity with God’s overall Heaven and Universal Kingdom. The Messianic Kingdom is the agency by which the earthly and human sovereign issue will be fully resolved. The Messianic Kingdom is of the Messiah. Messiah is “savior of mankind”. Messianic is a term with human and earthly meaning.
The Messianic “salvation of mankind” significance is that the Messianic Kingdom is employed to restore perfection to humankind, in the exact fashion of perfection that Adam lost as “God’s image” in Genesis 1:27 by the sin of Genesis 3. Adam thereby also lost the everlasting life blessing in Genesis 1:28. Adam also lost the divine right to the divine commission to “fill the earth and subdue it” with perfect, obedient human offspring living forever in sinless happiness. Outside of Eden, in banishment from the divine guidance in the sovereign rulership of God, now by Adam under Satan, the whole world of sinner Adamic mankind is since then illegally in sin, and abusing the earth and creation; (Rom8:18-23). Adam lost the rights to the full subjection of the creation to himself as God’s son, for he chose self-willed rebellion with Satan as his sovereign lord, and the demons were the powers Satan set in his kingdom over mankind; (Gen6; Eph6:12) Adam lost God’s “image” of perfection of Genesis 1:27.
4. Christ Must Replace Adam as Last Adam – Christ as King of the Messianic Kingdom is also the perfect man, the second man out of heaven, the Final Adam, the New Adam, the Last Adam, he is Adam’s replacement. Christ is also to be called Eternal Father of mankind due to this replacement of Adam as the new and final human Patriarch.
See [Last Adam]
Christ has in Messianic authority of King, also a High Priest status, and will also employ a royal family of heaven that is composed of former humans. The entire ruling system of the Messianic Kingdom all were former humans. By Christ’s absolutely perfect moral integrity as a perfect sinless human being born into mankind, but from heaven in perfection, these human co-rulers are set into Christ’s perfection in this spiritual incorruptible immortality for the purpose of ruling over the earth for 1000 years.
(Revelation 20:5-6) This is the first resurrection. 6 Happy and holy is anyone having part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no authority, but they will be priests of God and of the Christ, and will rule as kings with him for the thousand years.
(Revelation 5:10) you made them to be a kingdom and priests to our God, and they are to rule as kings OVER THE EARTH.”
See [3] The 144000 Messianic Kingdom Royal Family are a Special Purchase; Firstfruits of the First Resurrection
5. God’s Universal Justice will be Towards Humans against Demon Criminals – In this way the former human victims of Satanic murderous and lying criminality with the demons, can with Christ answer in full justice of God the final executionary verdicts upon the demons; (Rom16:20), with Christ destroying Satan as stated in Gen3:15. In this way the earthly sovereign issue is fully resolved permanently in respects to the earthly domain, and it’s truly new heavens of power. This issue on earth is not solved by angels, or by humans, but by a divinely purposed super-human, immortal and incorruptible agency of the Christ of God through 144000 chosen former human rulers. By Jehovah’s ‘Eternal Purpose’; see [4], with full rulership capability, full priestly empowerment under Jesus Christ the High-Priest and complete familiarity with human needs and human issues and desires, this is the perfect government for all mankind. Since ALL of this sovereign counsel were formerly humans, a perfect ruling and judicial power in the Messianic Kingdom is empowered by God for human happiness and all affairs of earth.
See [Eternal Purpose]
These can then restore perfection in mankind, so that mankind TOO, can answer the sovereign challenge and false accusations of Satan successfully, fully resolving this issue permanently where it began, in humankind on earth! Brilliant! Jehovah is The Master Mind soon to be undisputed in ALL realms.
=======
Solution: Messianic Kingdom Objective – Jehovah’s Universal Sovereign Supremacy over the Earth and Mankind
The end objective is the full restoration of Jehovah’s Universal Sovereign Supremacy over the earth, as it is in heaven, with death and ALL rival sovereignties exterminated from all existence, especially this Satanic usurpation through sin of the human realm:
(1 Corinthians 15:24-28) Next, the end, when he hands over the kingdom to his God and Father, when he has brought to nothing all government and all authority and power.
25 For he must rule as king until God has put all enemies under his feet. 26 As the last enemy, death is to be brought to nothing.
27 For God “subjected all things under his feet.” But when he says that ‘all things have been subjected,’ it is evident that it is with the exception of the one who subjected all things to him. 28 But when all things will have been subjected to him, then the Son himself will also subject himself to the One who subjected all things to him, that God may be all things to everyone.
=======
God’s Kingdom in Heaven: First Things First
The Sign of Christ’s Kingdom Power
But that 1Corinthians 15:24-28 prophecy is the “end” of the 1000 year reign that Paul was speaking of, we are not there yet. The bible shows that currently, and since the second most important date in all human history, in 1914, God has settled the sovereign issue in heaven first; (Rev12). And it is fitting in this divine sequence, that this should be the case, since as Jesus described, as this Messianic biblical development does as well, the Universal Kingdom of Jehovah is the guide Kingdom empowering the Messianic Kingdom existence and the completion of the royal cabinet of 144000 immortal king-priests.
Jesus indicated a set of globally developing and noticed poly-events, happening at the same time, would indicate his Kingdom powers of heaven had been commenced. The “great sign seen in heaven” was accompanied by a negative ‘great sign seen on earth’ so to speak:
(Matthew 24:33-35) Likewise also you, when you see all these things, know that he is near at the doors. 34 Truly I say to you that this generation will by no means pass away until all these things occur. 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away.
(Mark 13:29-31) Likewise also you, when you see these things happening, know that he is near, at the doors. 30 Truly I say to you that this generation will by no means pass away until all these things happen. 31 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
==
The Great Sign Seen in Heaven has Earthly Evidence; (Rev12:1)
This is a GLOBAL AND HEAVEN signal set of events we are talking about; (Rev12:1). These things happening in symphony earthwide and heavenwide is NOT a coincidence, this IS the end cycle. People should be taking SERIOUS NOTE of these things; (Matt24:28-29)
1. Foretold Appointed Time – The appointed time for the Kingdom of Messiah to end the gentile lease of Satan’s Kingdom global domination by the sovereign conquest of heaven first, would be fully known globally. The Christ identified “appointed times of the nations” had expired; (Luke21:24)
(Daniel 7:21-22) 21 “I kept on beholding when that very horn made war upon the holy ones, and it was prevailing against them, 22 until the Ancient of Days came and judgment itself was given in favor of the holy ones of the Supreme One, and THE DEFINITE TIME ARRIVED (Luke 21:24) that the holy ones took possession of the kingdom itself.
See [1914] Daniel 4, 7
2. Heaven Conquered Completely – Woe to the Earth Concurrent! – This conquest of Michael of heaven, as the illegal sovereignty of Satan and the demons was permanently crushed IN HEAVEN FIRST, would climax with Satan’s casting from heaven and the LATER progressively worsening Satanic inspired rageful “woe to the earth”. This negative signal development would be a sign on earth CONCURRENT with, that is happening at the same time as, Christ’s Kingdom presence in heaven.
3. Woe Progresses in Intensity WHILE Good News is Preached Globally - The signal global developments progressively leading to the great tribulation and Armageddon’s final earthly gathering of “nations for the war” with Christ’s Kingdom would be concurrent WITH this Kingdom reality in heaven AND the evidence of it from the bible AND world history.
This indeed would be a truly “great sign seen in heaven” of Rev12:1, concurrent with a “signs seen on earth” in Luke21:25; Matt24; Mark13. The Good News of the Kingdom worldwide preaching work would FULLY explain and be able to prove from BOTH the bible and current/historic world prophetic developments especially since that actual time and event in 1914 with great “convincing evidence” that this is all truth; (John16:8-11; Matt24:14).
(Matthew 24:13-14) But he that has endured to the end is the one that will be saved. 14 And this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come.
See [Last Days]
=======
‘Woe to the Earth’ is Nearing Climax
Jesus showed a global time of trouble would be apparent on earth, as nations progressively were brought under the “woe to the earth” of Satan’s three war, famine and overall death horses riding AFTER Christ’s ‘White Horse of Kingdom’ ALSO commenced it’s heavenly ride in Revelation 6:1-7:
(Luke 21:25-28) 25 “Also, there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth anguish of nations, not knowing the way out because of the roaring of the sea and its agitation, 26 while men become faint out of fear and expectation of the things coming upon the inhabited earth; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 27 And then they will see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 But as these things start to occur, raise yourselves erect and lift your heads up, because your deliverance is getting near.”
We see in the above these “signs” are part of an overall composite sign that Jesus indicated we should pay attention to; “when you see ALL these things” taking place GLOBALLY, know Jesus is about to bust down the worldwide doors of global domination and fully destroy Satan’s earthly kingdom, abyss him and exterminate all his human global sovereign rivals against God’s Kingdom. All this WHILE delivering the final “great crowd” through that culmination of the great tribulation at Armageddon’s “war of the great day of God the Almighty”; (Rev7:9-17; Rev14:14-16). This “White Horse” will complete his ride, with a full heavenly army also completing the Christ Kingdom conquest on earth:
(Revelation 19:11-21) And I saw the heaven opened, and, look! a white horse. And the one seated upon it is called Faithful and True, and he judges and carries on war in righteousness…he is called is The Word of God…the armies that were in heaven were following him on white horses, and they were clothed in white, clean, fine linen. 15 And out of his mouth there protrudes a sharp long sword, that he may strike the nations with it, and he will shepherd them with a rod of iron. He treads too the winepress of the anger of the wrath of God the Almighty; (Rev17:17-20; Joel3:13-17)…
And I saw the wild beast and the kings of the earth and their armies GATHERED together to wage the war with the one seated on the horse and with his army. 20 And the wild beast was caught, and along with it the false prophet that performed in front of it the signs with which he misled those who received the mark of the wild beast and those who render worship to its image. While still alive, they both were hurled into the fiery lake that burns with sulphur. 21 But the rest were killed off with the long sword of the one seated on the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth. And all the birds were filled from the fleshy parts of them.
This “gathered” national global rack of nations opposed to God’s Kingdom is this “gathering” of the demons while in Satanic “woe to the earth”:
(Revelation 16:13-16) And I saw three unclean inspired expressions that looked like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the wild beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet. 14 They are, in fact, expressions inspired by demons and perform signs, and they go forth to the kings of the entire inhabited earth, to gather them together to the war of the great day of God the Almighty. 15 “Look! I am coming as a thief. Happy is the one that stays awake and keeps his outer garments, that he may not walk naked and people look upon his shamefulness.” 16 And they gathered them together to the place that is called in Hebrew Har–Magedon.
The “thief” is Christ’s final conquest to drop into and upon this earthly world by surprise; (Matt12:26-30). We even see that the good news of the Christ’s kingdom irreversibility is not good news to earth’s powers, and they are not happy with the foretold outcome and the role of conquered they get to play in it:
(Revelation 11:18) But the nations became wrathful, and your own wrath came, and the appointed time for the dead to be judged, and to give their reward to your slaves the prophets and to the holy ones and to those fearing your name, the small and the great, and to bring to ruin those ruining the earth.”

Revelation 12 Shows Complete Detail of God’s Kingdom as Empowerer and Creator of the Messianic Kingdom by Heavenly Birth
=
Firstly this “sign seen in heaven” is great and shown biblically to have occurred in 1914 – See [1914]. Since Jesus Christ’s coming and completed mission of good news and sacrificial atonement, this is the most important date in human history, that will culminate in the most important event of this system of things; “war of the great day of God the Almighty” at Armageddon, the complete conquest now of the earth sovereignty over Satan and rival human sovereigns; Day one of the Messianic Kingdom’s One Thousand Year Reign.
Let’s examine this “great sign seen in heaven” and see just how it is actually seen by some, but not all; (Rev1:1):
(Revelation 12:1-2) And a great sign was seen in heaven, a woman arrayed with the sun, and the moon was beneath her feet, and on her head was a crown of twelve stars, 2 and she was pregnant. And she cries out in her pains and in her agony to give birth.
Woman
We see this “woman” is the same “woman” of Genesis 3:15 as in Galatians 4:6 “Jerusalem Above” as a “mother”, who produced the “seed” Christ on earth through the promised Abrahamic lineage of that covenant at Genesis 22:17-18. But “she” is upgraded immensely, the “woman” of God Jehovah is crowned and glorified in Jehovah’s “sun”, the dominant power of all heaven.
Crown
Does a “woman” in this role crown “herself”? No, this is the spiritual body of angels in heaven, from where Michael the chief of those angels, and the ancient first born before all of them, is the archangel who is “crowned” as Immortal Mighty God by divine decree; (Ps2; 110; Heb1:1-6). Michael’s name HAS BECOME better then the angels; (Heb1:6), in that it is a NEW upgraded glorified position. Jesus Christ HAVING BEEN also exalted to a superior position with the name of salvation of Jehovah; (Phil2:5-11), all in fulfillment of Dan12:1, and Rev12:7-10 – This is a prophecy in regard to The “Kingdom” Christ had ALREADY made with his Father by the divine decree of Psalm 2 and Psalm 110.
See [King] below.
Devour What???
Now we see Satan intends to obstruct the new kingdom birth of the new Messianic element coming into “birth” in heaven. What would be coming forth that Satan could possibly believe he could “devour”? Could it have been Christ’s foundation stones of the 12 apostles to be built upon him mentioned in Rev21:14? Would God have not redeemed witnesses to this event? In any event, Satan intended to destroy this Messianic Kingdom birth:
(Revelation 12:3-4) 3 And another sign was seen in heaven, and, look! a great fiery-colored dragon, with seven heads and ten horns and upon its heads seven diadems; 4 and its tail drags a third of the stars of heaven, and it hurled them down to the earth. And the dragon kept standing before the woman who was about to give birth, that, when she did give birth, it might devour her child.
Something new is brought forth in heaven AFTER this “woman” is shown ALREADY in her crowned “kingly” capacity from God “her” owner, though subservient to Jehovah’s Sovereign Supremacy, hence “her” “feminine” “woman” symbology, yet “she” is “crowned” with “12 stars” as the feature of that crown. This “child” “she” bore after “her” “crowing”, is to be the ruling power of the earth. Human nations are NOT in heaven. Human nations and earth are the subjects over which this newborn sovereign Messianic Kingdom is destined to rule; (Rev22:1-3):
(Revelation 12: 5-6) 5 And she gave birth to a son, a male, who is to shepherd all the nations with an iron rod. And her child was caught away to God and to his throne. 6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and sixty days.
As we see this “child” was caught away to “his” Father Jehovah at His throne. THEN Michael, not with a ‘baby kingdom’, but with full divine Kingship in God’s Kingdom WITH also a Messianic authority as King Christ, with a full load of experienced powerful holy angels, fully settles the sovereign issue in heaven’s Kingdom first.
This is fitting because the angels of heaven with Michael were the ones hearing Satanic accusation for 6000 years up there approximately as at Job 1. These angels and Michael made it damnation clear that they will not and do not ever respect or recant their integrity for some demon Satan’s desire to be sovereign lord of all angels as he attempted in Noah’s days and Adam’s day. Satan and the demons “bent knee” alright, but backwards as they flew out the door hounded, pounded, kicked and booted from behind on their toppling way out to eventual extermination with a flaming vengeance they could test there in heaven as a preview of what is coming. This shows that the “12 stars” of Michael’s crowned authority of God’s “woman” is related in symbology to the ” third of the stars of heaven”, but as holy angelic powerful orders, and they completed the casting of Ezekiel 28:17, since these demons forsook “their own proper dwelling place” and only accessed heaven to harass God; (Jude 6; Job1:6-7)
So Michael and his holy angels laid down the law once for all time in heaven regarding this septic demon charade of wannabees and carnal poly-addicts, and booted Satan’s person and that of his cohorts permanently and forever from heaven, there “places” were even destroyed from the midst of Zion’s abodes; (John 14:2):
(Revelation 12: 7-8) 7 And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels battled with the dragon, and the dragon and its angels battled 8 but it did not prevail, neither was a place found for them any longer in heaven.
Now we see Michael sunk this ‘ship of fools’ to the earth realm that they were sinning in anyways “misleading the entire inhabited earth” since the days of Adam and Eve. We see the heaven issue IS settled, but the earthly issue will instead intensify, for Satan knows in Ezekiel 28:17-18 that his casting precedes his destruction to “ashes”; See [Doom].
(Revelation 12: 9) 9 So down the great dragon was hurled, the original serpent, the one called Devil and Satan, who is misleading the entire inhabited earth; he was hurled down to the earth, and his angels were hurled down with him.
This is the full power of God’s Kingdom not the infant Messianic Kingdom newly born. Yet the full Christ King capacity of the Messiah, NOW called such in also the Messianic Kingdom founding here in one massive heaven first event, is in full power – This King aint no baby. Notice Michael is noted in this heavenly name, because his Kingly authority though entering the Messianic power as Christ, is firstly in behalf of Jehovah’s Kingdom sovereign issue in heaven. Notice the authority he exercised when he purges Satan and the demons is by him and his angels alone. None of the 144000 are shown assisting this task, as they do not have a heavenly sovereignty issue in their past as Michael and the angels do, and many that were dead were resurrected AFTER the Kingdom was founded and available.
The first act of Michael’s “authority as God’s Christ” is a power-blast against the accuser – a dual sovereign response for heaven, and the Messianic Kingdom 144000 falsely accused who are to enter that royal Kingdom estate eventually. We see the reason for the Christ Kingdom coming to pass: “BECAUSE the accuser of our brothers has been hurled down”. We may rightly wonder who said that? The 12 glorified apostles as witnesses to the magnificence of Michael becoming the Universal Christ in this massive, enormous great event? Well that will be revealed in due time.
In any event Michael was given full authority now as Jesus Christ in his Messianic title as well, but his Michael name and role MUST precede this Messianic completion we see here: “Now have come to pass the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ.” The “salvation” is a Messiah related one for humans, holy angels don’t need salvation. The “kingdom of our God” which includes now the Messianic earth sovereign agency is complete by divine power. It is a done deal in heaven, and not long for earth to also undergo a massive event such as this one:
(Revelation 12: 10) 10 And I heard a loud voice in heaven say: “Now have come to pass the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ, because the accuser of our brothers has been hurled down, who accuses them day and night before our God!
Again we may see here a reference to God providing a foundational resurrection “salvation” at the Messianic Kingdom “birth” to a chosen anointed set who were destined to see Satan humiliated and cast from heaven by their Christ Lord. “And they conquered him because of the blood of the Lamb”; they are even mentioned in regard to their conquest of Satan by faith, as “they offer themselves willingly” to Christ on earth in his “military force” of Psalm 110:3, to the true final destination, Kingly power with Christ. This is all past tense in the spirit of conquest by faith assurance, Christ’s blood, and Jehovah’s witnessing to the death:
(Revelation 12: 11) 11 And they conquered him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their witnessing, and they did not love their souls even in the face of death.
Now yes Heaven is eternally ridden of the haranguing accuser, thank God and Christ. And we see this massively monumental epoch in heaven is ALSO quite devastating upon Satan and the demons, they KNOW they have a “short period of time”, and so does their Satan Kingdom human proxies to come into completed 7th and 8th “King” development DURING this time; (Rev17:10). Satan in anger and defeat has but one recourse, and that is Satanic “woe to the earth” that will climax in a full gathering of the nations to Armageddon. This of course intensifies many signal features fulfilling Christ composite “time of the end” sign. This must fully develop into a climax global “great tribulation” as the final ruination of mankind who follow this liar and challenger of God’s sovereignty:
(Revelation 12: 12) 12 On this account be glad, you heavens and you who reside in them! Woe for the earth and for the sea, because the Devil has come down to you, having great anger, knowing he has a short period of time.”

Revelation 12 Summary of Sovereignty Clues
1. Heaven’s Sovereignty Resolved Permanently First
We may note that this was an example of the first full vindication in heaven of Jehovah’s sovereignty there, and Michael and the holy angels were the ones who resolved that issue in heaven. God permitted Satanic access to this realm temporarily so like Pharaoh pawned usage, God’s name will be declared and His power will be felt, and felt again; (Ex9:16) Though the anointed have no issue in heaven’s realm from their previous human lives, having been earthlings in the material realm, Satan’s usurpation of earth’s sovereignty is what they will resolve with Christ at Armageddon.
The 144000 DO HAVE AN ISSUE with Satan’s earthly sovereign challenge, and at the final execution of Satan in the end from their Messianic heavenly power that will be a finalized conquest of earth’s realm and the material universe surrounding it. In this way the 144000 and all heaven along with the faithful of perfected mankind will fulfill a comprehensive vindication of Jehovah’s sovereignty in heaven, the material universe and earth that ALL can then take part in by faith and obedience.
Notice how Michael and as Jesus Christ in both roles, is the sovereign conqueror by divine will of God in BOTH realms!
2. Messianic Kingdom Completes Sovereign Issue on Earth Next
This shows why the heavenly Kingdom of God preceded the Messianic Kingdom. Heaven’s sovereign resolution needed to precede earth’s sovereign resolution. Then we see logically the Messianic Kingdom will aid the earthly “Kingdom of the World” human perfection; (Rev11:15-18) with Christ as High Priest and his ruling king-priesthood to restore Last Adamic perfection to mankind removing Adam, the “sin of the world”, by the lamb’s perfection; (Heb10:5-10; 1Cor5:7-8; John1:29) In this way the human family can be prepared to also answer the sovereignty controversy on earth after the 1000 years ends, and during their lives in this period’s unfolding.
3. Humans to be Included in Sovereign Issue on Earth
The 144000 with Christ in Messianic Kingdom authority will in the end with Christ resolve Satan and the demons executionary curse of Gen3:14 after the 1000 years have ended as Satan completes the final temptation; (Rom16:20) For this earthly sovereign reason, the 144000 with Christ, will also face Satan and the demons at Armageddon AND the lake of Fire destruction, similar to the way Michael and his angels faced Satan and the demons to resolve the heaven aspect of sovereignty; (1Cor6:3)
Since Satan and the demons are the impediment to the complete earthly sovereign reign of Jehovah God, the former earthling human 144000, will be with Christ, the complete vanquishers of Satan and his entire “seed” infecting earth and this material universal sovereign purity; (Gen3:15; Rom16:20) Faithful humans will have also answered Satan’s lying controversial sovereign accusation like Christ as the man, thus positively affirming the great human salvation objective of Christ’s original mission to earth; (1Pet2:21)
Many forget the great issue of sovereignty was acted out first on earth through human sin – Satan, demons AND humans went into rebellion. Faithful humans can even now conquer the Devil joining this overall sovereign conquest to Armageddon. All faithful humans will be involved during the temptation and destruction phase of Satan and the demons to also resolve the sovereignty issue to it’s finality BY OBEDIENCE; (Heb5:9-10) This is what the general church escapist teachings to a mass heaven/hell exodus of humanity is NOT addressing, but is actually by delusion catatonic to this needed repentance.
(Hebrews 5:8-10) Although he was a Son, he learned obedience from the things he suffered; 9 and after he had been made perfect he became responsible for everlasting salvation to all those obeying him, 10 because he has been specifically called by God a high priest according to the manner of Melchizedek.

Two Kingdoms and Two ‘Women’ with One Productive Life Objective
We can also see from this illustration involving Jehovah’s “woman” as his universal body of spiritual entities, his universal organization of spiritual sons as the holy angels including Michael, that this is Jehovah’s Universal Kingdom powers with Himself as the dominant Eternal Power as King of Eternity Almighty God; (Joel3:9). This is the aspect of God’s subservient, but extremely potent and powerful “woman” arrayed in the “sun” of Jehovah’s approved dominant glory. The “woman” is a symbol when this “body” is producing something. At other times this are the “hosts” in Lord of Hosts, and the “armies” in Jehovah of Armies; (2Kings6:15-17)
We shall see that the Christ will also soon have his own “woman” of the “Bride” Class for the Marriage of the 144000 New Jerusalem to the Lamb, which comes after these developments involving God’s “woman” in Revelation 12; (Rev21:1-5). Both “women” are shown to be for fruitful objectives, but for different purposes. God’s “woman” producing Christ on earth as the “second man”, out of heaven; (Gen3:15; 1Cor15:47), who was the sacrificial gateway for the birth of the 144000 co-rulers to heavenly life also “born from God” through His “woman” in “seed” Christ’s perfect incorruptible immortality as the perfection of “new creation”; (1Cor15:50-57; Gal6:15-16; Rev12:1-6; 1John3:9). We see they are the Messianic kingdom ‘New Jerusalem’ Bride and will also “give birth”; (Isa26:19)
(1 Peter 1:23) For you have been given a new birth, not by corruptible, but by incorruptible reproductive seed, through the word of the living and enduring God.
See [5] Zion
It is fitting that the Messianic ‘Bride of Christ’ as Kingdom comes through this crowned “woman” of God, and will be the source of the Eternal Father Christ’s also producing on earth, perfect humans in Last Adamic form from the power of the “Bridal Body” of 144000 perfect immortals; (Ps45). The 144000 partook of Christ’s perfection for real in heaven upon first resurrection; (Rev6:11; Rev20:5-6). This is symbolized on earth through “new covenant” entry of the 144000 by symbolic means partaking of Christ’s perfect sinless body (unleavened bread) and perfect blood (red wine) in symbol of the coming REALITY NOT SYMBOLOGY for faithful humans to actually become perfect Last Adamic humans; (1Cor5:7). This perfection power is to be fully administered later in reality into mankind coming into human perfection through this Last Adamic human sacrifice provided by Christ as human perfection THROUGH his 144000 priesthood, the “bridal” New Jerusalem “woman”.
(John 1:29) The next day he beheld Jesus coming toward him, and he said: “See, the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world!
(Isaiah 53:10) If you will set his soul as a guilt offering, he will see his offspring..
(Psalm 45:16) 16 In place of your forefathers there will come to be your sons, Whom you will appoint as princes in all the earth.

Climax of Earth Sovereign Issue Next
So now the clear earth stage is set. Heaven’s Kingdom is guiding a dual power system for full settlement of the sovereign issue in heaven first, AND on earth last, in a fully set and known “great sign seen in heaven” in 1914 of this Kingdom of God AND Messianic Kingdom reality. This came into heaven being, in one massive heaven blow out event as recorded in Rev 12, also shown in part in Rev6:1-8. Now we see yes, this is the most important date in recent history in 1914 since Christ’s earthly mission accomplished, which made this Messianic Kingdom all possible with God’s will and guidance. This Messianic Kingdom by God’s will for a ruling class to be “bought” from the earth as first-fruits, in first resurrection into this new earthly sovereign supremacy OVER EARTH is to become permanent and everlasting; (John19:28-30; Dan2:44) The firstfruits, by first-resurrection, enroll in the congregation of the firstborn firstfruit first-resurrected Christ; (Heb12:22-24; Rom8:29; Rev1:5)
==
God’s Will on Earth Accomplished Last as in Heaven Accomplished First
Now Christ’s prayer has the total meaning in becoming, irreversible:
(Matthew 6:9-10) “‘Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified. 10 Let your kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also upon earth.
God’s will was ONLY the temporary permission of Satan’s sovereign controversy in heaven, fully answered by Michael by divine power. Now it does not take a prophet to see that this world’s sovereign issue is next, and Christ hounds Satan and the demons to the abyss hurling and clearing these heavens and earth of these celestial scoundrels, and forever destroys all evil human sovereign rivals upon this planet as permanently as he ruined, uprooted and destroyed Satan and the demons’ place in heaven. This was the big third “woe” on Satan’s head, God’s Kingdom power in full; (Rev11:14-18; 12:1-12)
See [Armageddon]
We see obviously Satan’s arrogance and anger and desperate resistance will affect earth greatly, and this will indeed intensify here as well, as Satan also intensifies his own “woe” the “woe to the earth”. This progressive “woe” also gives “birth” to great tribulation globally very soon:
(Matthew 24:7-8) 7 “For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be food shortages and earthquakes in one place after another. 8 All these things are a beginning of pangs of distress.
Paul also likened it to an uncontrollable contraction to “birth”:
(1 Thessalonians 5:3) Whenever it is that they are saying: “Peace and security!” then sudden destruction is to be instantly upon them just as the pang of distress upon a pregnant woman; and they will by no means escape.
These pangs are a birth about to become a real ugly global baby, a fill grown monstrous global tribulation commensurate with Satan’s own anger and doom as that too progresses to extinction mode mentioned by Jesus very plainly:
(Matthew 24:21-22) for then there will be great tribulation such as has not occurred since the world’s beginning until now, no, nor will occur again. 22 In fact, unless those days were cut short, no flesh would be saved; but on account of the chosen ones those days will be cut short.
(Mark 13:19-20) those days will be days of a tribulation such as has not occurred from the beginning of the creation which God created until that time, and will not occur again. 20 In fact, unless Jehovah had cut short the days, no flesh would be saved. But on account of the chosen ones whom he has chosen he has cut short the days.
The “days of great tribulation” are met from God with an even ‘greater tribulation’ upon all the “great tribulators”:
(2 Thessalonians 1:6-10) This takes into account that it is righteous on God’s part to repay tribulation to those who make tribulation for you, 7 but, to you who suffer tribulation, relief along with us at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with his powerful angels 8 in a flaming fire, as he brings vengeance upon those who do not know God and those who do not obey the good news about our Lord Jesus.
9 These very ones will undergo the judicial punishment of everlasting destruction from before the Lord and from the glory of his strength, 10 at the time he comes to be glorified in connection with his holy ones and to be regarded in that day with wonder in connection with all those who exercised faith, because the witness we gave met with faith among you.

Messianic Earth Mission: Finalfruits – Earthly Human Survivors through Great tribulation and Armageddon
And that is the “four winds” great tribulation that a “great crowd” of earthly human survivors must come out of as the chosen ones of the final-fruits, the final ingathering; (See Rev14:14-16; Rev7:1):
(Revelation 7:9-17) After these things I saw, and, look! a great crowd, which no man was able to number, out of all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes; and there were palm branches in their hands.
10 And they keep on crying with a loud voice, saying: “Salvation we owe to our God, who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb.”…These are the ones that come out of the great tribulation, and they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb…the One seated on the throne will spread his tent over them…because the Lamb, who is in the midst of the throne, will shepherd them, and will guide them to fountains of waters of life. And God will wipe out every tear from their eyes.
That Jesus Christ “will guide them to fountains of waters of life” means these are NOT in heaven which is of course deathless life and sin free, and this “great crowd” need continued guidance to “water of life” continuing through day one of the 1000 year reign of this Messianic Kingdom now in total earthly power.
See [Waters of Life]
These are the foundation of the human “new earth” which are the first to begin feeling and seeing the positive effects of the Last Adamic Christ’s beneficial powers of this Messianic agency of God’s Kingdom totality of sovereign universal rulership:
(Romans 8:18-25) Consequently I reckon that the sufferings of the present season do not amount to anything in comparison with the glory that is going to be revealed in us.
19 For the eager expectation of the creation is waiting for the revealing of the sons of God. 20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not by its own will but through him that subjected it, on the basis of hope 21 that the creation itself also will be set free from enslavement to corruption and have the glorious freedom of the children of God. 22 For we know that all creation keeps on groaning together and being in pain together until now.
23 Not only that, but we ourselves also who have the firstfruits, namely, the spirit, yes, we ourselves groan within ourselves, while we are earnestly waiting for adoption as sons, the release from our bodies by ransom. 24 For we were saved in this hope; but hope that is seen is not hope, for when a man sees a thing, does he hope for it? 25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we keep on waiting for it with endurance.
This “hope” will not be disappointed in the 144000 or the “great crowd” – it WILL be realized. All that Adam lost in the blessing of everlasting life in Genesis 1:27-28; (Ps133), the “image of God” lost to sin, corruption and death and the subjection of earth’s creation in righteousness lost to wicked demon and imperfect human rule, will be restored.
As Heaven’s incorruptible “12 tribes” have the “life giving spirit” power from Christ, the total “12 tribal” global picture of humanity, is the members of the earthly restoration of God’s human family under his completing perfection and sovereignty proceeding from day one, Armageddon conquest:
(Matthew 19:27-30) Then Peter said to him in reply: “Look! We have left all things and followed you; what actually will there be for us?” 28 Jesus said to them: “Truly I say to you, In the re-creation, when the Son of man sits down upon his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also yourselves sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29 And everyone that has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or lands for the sake of my name will receive many times more and will inherit everlasting life. 30 “But many that are first will be last and the last first.
See [12 Tribes]

Earth and Animal Creation to be Perfected
Since Adam’s terminal death sin provided Satan a way to enter the earth’s planetary life system by sin and error performed through man from his septic hatred and human compounding error over generations and millenniums, even animals must be changed into the everlasting perfection that God has purposed they should also be delivered to, as they were innocent bystanders under Adam’s lost subjection, and that Adamic hierarchy with Satan at the top, is now to be exterminated permanently – from which effects the animal creation must benefit:
(Isaiah 11:1-9) And there must go forth a twig out of the stump of Jesse; and out of his roots a sprout will be fruitful. 2 And upon him the spirit of Jehovah must settle down, the spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the spirit of counsel and of mightiness, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of Jehovah; 3 and there will be enjoyment by him in the fear of Jehovah. And he will not judge by any mere appearance to his eyes, nor reprove simply according to the thing heard by his ears. 4 And with righteousness he must judge the lowly ones, and with uprightness he must give reproof in behalf of the meek ones of the earth. And he must strike the earth with the rod of his mouth; and with the spirit of his lips he will put the wicked one to death. 5 And righteousness must prove to be the belt of his hips, and faithfulness the belt of his loins.
6 And the wolf will actually reside for a while with the male lamb, and with the kid the leopard itself will lie down, and the calf and the maned young lion and the well-fed animal all together; and a mere little boy will be leader over them. 7 And the cow and the bear themselves will feed; together their young ones will lie down. And even the lion will eat straw just like the bull. 8 And the sucking child will certainly play upon the hole of the cobra; and upon the light aperture of a poisonous snake will a weaned child actually put his own hand. 9 They will not do any harm or cause any ruin in all my holy mountain; because the earth will certainly be filled with the knowledge of Jehovah as the waters are covering the very sea.
The futile ruination from mankind’s sovereign rebellion was also foretold to precede the full benefit of Jehovah’s truth by His sovereign rule so that ” earth will certainly be filled with the knowledge of Jehovah as the waters are covering the very sea”, just as in heaven now completed preceding this, and this futility of blood-guilt in mankind, leading to this perfection is foretold as well:
(Habakkuk 2:12-14) 12 “‘Woe to the one that is building a city by bloodshed, and that has solidly established a town by unrighteousness! 13 Look! Is it not from Jehovah of armies that peoples will toil on only for the fire, and that national groups will tire themselves out merely for nothing? 14 For the earth will be filled with the knowing of the glory of Jehovah as the waters themselves cover over the sea.
Even the earth will undergo the perfecting transformation:
(Psalm 46:1-2) God is for us a refuge and strength, A help that is readily to be found during distresses. 2 That is why we shall not fear, though the earth undergo change
(Psalm 72:16) There will come to be plenty of grain on the earth; On the top of the mountains there will be an overflow. His fruit will be as in Lebanon, And those who are from the city will blossom like the vegetation of the earth.
(Isaiah 35:1-2) The wilderness and the waterless region will exult, and the desert plain will be joyful and blossom as the saffron. 2 Without fail it will blossom, and it will really be joyful with joyousness and with glad crying out. The glory of Lebanon itself must be given to it, the splendor of Carmel and of Sharon. There will be those who will see the glory of Jehovah, the splendor of our God.
(Isaiah 35:1-8) The wilderness and the waterless region will exult, and the desert plain will be joyful and blossom as the saffron. 2 Without fail it will blossom, and it will really be joyful with joyousness and with glad crying out… There will be those who will see the glory of Jehovah, the splendor of our God. 3 Strengthen the weak hands, you people, and make the knees that are wobbling firm. 4 Say to those who are anxious at heart: “Be strong. Do not be afraid. Look! your own God will come with vengeance itself, God even with a repayment. He himself will come and save you people.”
5 At that time the eyes of the blind ones will be opened, and the very ears of the deaf ones will be unstopped. 6 At that time the lame one will climb up just as a stag does, and the tongue of the speechless one will cry out in gladness. For in the wilderness waters will have burst out, and torrents in the desert plain. 7 And the heat-parched ground will have become as a reedy pool, and the thirsty ground as springs of water. In the abiding place of jackals, a resting-place for them, there will be green grass with reeds and papyrus plants. 8 And there will certainly come to be a highway there, even a way; and the Way of Holiness it will be called. The unclean one will not pass over it.

Earth and Human Perfection through Earthly Resurrection
So all this is evidence that death is Satan’s sovereign power tool, and his “king” will be the “lake of fire” due to his evil intent, and he cannot change his death sentence; (Gen3:15). But in the meantime Jehovah must neutralize Satanic control, abyss him and perform also the “filling of the earth” from the death and graves of mankind, which are states in death/hell also slated for divine removal from the human system.
These things are temporary, not some everlasting home of mankind in mythical sadistic hell-fires. It is destination paradise earth for billions of people, or heaven for the 144000 former humans into spirit immortal incorruptibility as the ruling class with Jesus Christ the King of kings. These are the only destinations provided, not death or Hades:
(Revelation 20:12-15) And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and scrolls were opened. But another scroll was opened; it is the scroll of life. And the dead were judged out of those things written in the scrolls according to their deeds. 13 And the sea gave up those dead in it, and death and Hades gave up those dead in them, and they were judged individually according to their deeds. 14 And death and Hades were hurled into the lake of fire. This means the second death, the lake of fire. 15 Furthermore, whoever was not found written in the book of life was hurled into the lake of fire.
Since these people all died, the penalty of sin was fully paid for with their lives; (Rom6:7). There is no reason to be unjust in God’s sight, and judge these people twice, for one life of sin. No, these people will be given full opportunity in the earthly resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous to benefit completely from the Last Adamic provision from God. This power is through a perfect man in Jesus Christ by that sacrificial atonement AND perfection to live forever under this new and everlasting sovereignty of God exercised through the Messianic Kingdom over earth.
These can benefit from the removal of sin and death by God’s truth as “waters of life” just as the great crowd also is in perfecting development towards these “waters of life” soon to become a global “river”. We see this restoration is guaranteed to earthlings, to humans, to mankind, to “nations of earth” in Revelation 21-22. This will fulfill the promise to Abraham in the “families of the ground”, and “nations of the earth” to receive this everlasting life blessing at Genesis 12:3; and Genesis 22:17-18 respectively:
(Revelation 21:1-5) And I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the former heaven and the former earth had passed away, and the sea is no more. 2 I saw also the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God and prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his peoples. And God himself will be with them. 4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” 5 And the One seated on the throne said: “Look! I am making all things new.”
(Revelation 22:1-3) And he showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, flowing out from the throne of God and of the Lamb 2 down the middle of its broad way. And on this side of the river and on that side there were trees of life producing twelve crops of fruit, yielding their fruits each month. And the leaves of the trees were for the curing of the nations. 3 And no more will there be any curse.
This curse removal is by the removal of sin, therefore the death sentence is no longer valid, and this connects Rev22:1-3 directly back to the Edenic divine blessing of everlasting life at Genesis 1:28. We see Last Adam Jesus Christ provides this new “image of God” in human perfection as well:
(Genesis 1:27-28) And God proceeded to create the man in his image, in God’s image he created him; male and female he created them. 28 Further, God blessed them and God said to them: “Be fruitful and become many and fill the earth and subdue it, and have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and every living creature that is moving upon the earth.”

Final Objective: Human Decision in the Sovereignty Controversy Finalized
At this point in approximate time as the 1000 years are ending the final temptation of Satan upon now perfect mankind takes place. These are humans who MUST also be brought to the completion of the sovereign rulership issue on earth as humans, as it was brought to heaven to completion, and into the Messianic Kingdom power in completion. Thus we see the Messianic Kingdom is for the purpose of having a perfect sinless mankind like Adam before he sinned and Last Adam Jesus Christ maintained sinless.
This “Judgment Day” is a live decision period based on performance DURING this period, not for past Adamic lives which are now irrelevant. This will climax in Satan’s temptation and judgment to condemnation at the end of this 1000 year period. This temptation and test will answer the sovereign issue of who humans will obey, that being Jehovah’s law or Satan’s. This will be a decision people will make from a perfectly knowledgeable and perfect state.
Therefore the exact conditions which Adam and Christ are the only humans to have been in, and answered this issue, is now brought into all mankind present at this time. Many “bible theologies” completely ignore this obvious truth of the totality of this sovereign challenge, still promoting denial when time is limited.
This is the full resolution of this great controversy on earth, and not from imperfect Adamic mankind, but from a perfect sinless mankind in Last Adamic form as Christ is called the Eternal Father of these perfect humans, since only Last Adam has actual perfection in sinlessness, and Adam never will again; (Isa9:6; Rom5:14) This period is for Satan and the demons to bring their stubborn self-willed issue forth in a situation similar to Genesis 3′s ‘Garden of Eden’ account for a fair resolution of an issue they piledrived into sinner man.
Now they must raise the issue in perfect mankind, a fair controversy not lopsided in demon favor by human sin, imperfection and death. But now humans on their own true freewill responsibility in human perfection can answer this controversial issue for the final conquest, or for a course that ends in “second death”, an irredeemable death from the perfect Last Adamic “second life” state. An everlasting life potential is at stake as it was with Adam and the woman, and with Jesus Christ the perfected man; (Heb5:8-10; 7:28)
==
Satan’s Final Sovereign Attempt and Temptation of Perfected Humankind
We see Satan was formerly abyssed as POW of God’s war at Armageddon; (Isa24:21):
(Revelation 20:1-3) And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven with the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand. 2 And he seized the dragon, the original serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. 3 And he hurled him into the abyss and shut it and sealed it over him, that he might not mislead the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended. After these things he must be let loose for a little while.
But Satan must be released after the work of the Messianic Kingdom is completed after the 1000 year reign:
(Revelation 20:7-10) 7 Now as soon as the thousand years have been ended, Satan will be let loose out of his prison, 8 and he will go out to mislead those nations in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together for the war. The number of these is as the sand of the sea. 9 And they advanced over the breadth of the earth and encircled the camp of the holy ones and the beloved city. But fire came down out of heaven and devoured them. 10 And the Devil who was misleading them was hurled into the lake of fire and sulphur, where both the wild beast and the false prophet already were; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
Now we see the basis of Satan’s temptation will be the same as it is today, and since Eden, attempted self-will over God’s will, and the same corruptions Satan will attempt to revive in his own “resurrection” of evil practices attempted on earth, that of course still has no everlasting future but in the “lake of fire” completely destroyed:
(Revelation 21:6-8) To anyone thirsting I will give from the fountain of the water of life free. 7 Anyone conquering will inherit these things, and I shall be his God and he will be my son. 8 But as for the cowards and those without faith and those who are disgusting in their filth and murderers and fornicators and those practicing spiritism and idolaters and all the liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulphur. This means the second death.”
What we know is that at this time it will NOT be a systemic compromise in sin and death of the whole human family. Whoever it is with Satan and the demons who fall into this temptation and try to restore Satan’s sovereignty, annihilation is the outcome in a selective removal of all sinners in humans to destruction, along with the destruction of Satan and the demons; (Rev21:8; 22:15)
==
Satan and All Enemies Annihilated
In that way “all government, authority and power”, and in fact the “last enemy” in death and Satan are completely vanquished and removed to non-existence by divine destruction as promised in Genesis 3:15; (Heb2:14) that Christ would crush Satan’s “head” in his intellectual capacity to bring sin into action, and the “seed of the serpent” would also be exterminated as promised in Romans 16:20:
(Romans 16:20) For his part, the God who gives peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly.
Satan being intimately involved with death as a systemic/terminal reality among humans, not holy angels in any systemic or other fashion, also is shown to be destroyed as the enslavement to his own desires and conditions. He will be exposed and convicted of his own weakness and sins. These are the things, the sins he helped bring mankind into as the main instigator and first sinner. This is also resolved permanently assisting “Abraham’s seed” to restore the blessing, removing sin and death, as promised in Genesis 22:17-18 freeing all willing humanity:
(Hebrews 2:14-16) 14 Therefore, since the “young children” are sharers of blood and flesh, he also similarly partook of the same things, that through his death he might bring to nothing the one having the means to cause death, that is, the Devil; 15 and that he might emancipate all those who for fear of death were subject to slavery all through their lives. 16 For he is really not assisting angels at all, but he is assisting Abraham’s seed.
At this time Christ will return the Messianic Kingdom supremacy that he ruled in as God’s King and Christ, to fully sanctify God’s name Jehovah, to vindicate his Universal Sovereignty in both Heaven and Earth realms, and to complete God’s will on earth, as in heaven, that Jehovah will be the Supreme Sovereign King forevermore to all persons and all things – case closed:
(1 Corinthians 15:24-28) Next, the end, when he hands over the kingdom to his God and Father, when he has brought to nothing all government and all authority and power. 25 For he must rule as king until God has put all enemies under his feet. 26 As the last enemy, death is to be brought to nothing. 27 For God “subjected all things under his feet.” But when he says that ‘all things have been subjected,’ it is evident that it is with the exception of the one who subjected all things to him. 28 But when all things will have been subjected to him, then the Son himself will also subject himself to the One who subjected all things to him, that God may be all things to everyone.
=======
Messianic Kingdom is for Earthly Divine Sovereign Restoration
The objective of the Messianic Kingdom to restore this divine sovereign order to earth and this material universe will be complete. The Messianic Kingdom 144000 “New Jerusalem” Bride of Christ and Jesus Christ will be involved forevermore in God’s will done on earth, but humans may now be in a one on one direct sinless relationship with God, as purposed in Adam but lost to sin, but recovered in Christ Jesus the “image of God” in human perfection and sinlessness. God’s will cannot be changed regarding genesis 1:27-28 or any of His purpose.
Thus the Messianic Kingdom is not a mass exodus to heaven as many churches sell people that catatonic, death accepting delusion and sovereign issue divergence in denial as humans. The Messianic Kingdom is composed of Jesus Christ and the 144000 “bought” “firstfruits” who complete this earthly mission, from heaven and it’s authoritative Kingdom of God overall direction by Jehovah Almighty God.
This is the Messianic Kingdom means to complete the sovereign controversy to full resolution among all of mankind recovered into this divine arrangement. Edenic paradise on earth, and perfection and glorification of all creation of earth is guaranteed to also be completed as Adam is completely removed from the human systems with the sin and death that he instrumentally gave to his offspring in Satan’s dead will spiritually and materially.
Jesus Christ as Last Adamic Eternal Father now inherits all mankind and all the earthly system and creation formerly under Adam in fulfillment of the decree of Psalm 2:8 and many other prophecies concerning Jehovah’s Christ for life restoration purposes.
(Isaiah 9:6-7) For there has been a child born to us, there has been a son given to us; and the princely rule will come to be upon his shoulder. And his name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. 7 To the abundance of the princely rule and to peace there will be no end, upon the throne of David and upon his kingdom in order to establish it firmly and to sustain it by means of justice and by means of righteousness, from now on and to time indefinite. The very zeal of Jehovah of armies will do this.
(Psalm 2:6-8) Saying: “I, even I, have installed my king Upon Zion, my holy mountain.” 7 Let me refer to the decree of Jehovah; He has said to me: “You are my son; I, today, I have become your father. 8 Ask of me, that I may give nations as your inheritance And the ends of the earth as your own possession.

[1] Heaven, Heavens and Earth Back
God brought a creative epoch into existence from His own eternity that preceded all the material universe and earth:
(Genesis 1:1) 1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
(Genesis 2:1) Thus the heavens and the earth and all their army came to their completion.
(Genesis 2:4) This is a history of the heavens and the earth in the time of their being created, in the day that Jehovah God made earth and heaven.
God employed His only-begotten Son in these creative works; (Proverbs 8:22-23) “Jehovah himself produced me as the beginning of his way, the earliest of his achievements of long ago. 23 From time indefinite I was installed, from the start, from times earlier than the earth.
(Colossians 1:15-16) 15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation; 16 because by means of him all other things were created in the heavens and upon the earth, the things visible and the things invisible, no matter whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All other things have been created through him and for him.
(Revelation 3:14) 14 “And to the angel of the congregation in Laodicea write: These are the things that the Amen says, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation by God,
This Son, The Word of God who became Jesus Christ later in these events for a sovereignty and salvation issue has an origin:
(Micah 5:2) “And you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah, the one too little to get to be among the thousands of Judah, from you there will come out to me the one who is to become ruler in Israel, whose origin is from early times, from the days of time indefinite.
(John 1:1-3) In the beginning the Word was, and the Word was with God, and the Word was a god. 2 This one was in the beginning with God. 3 All things came into existence through him, and apart from him not even one thing came into existence.
(John 1:10) He was in the world, and the world came into existence through him, but the world did not know him.
(John 1:18) No man has seen God at any time; the only-begotten god who is in the bosom position with the Father is the one that has explained him.
This is God’s Master Worker, existing from times before all material creation and aiding that creative work of God:
(Proverbs 8:22-27) “Jehovah himself produced me as the beginning of his way, the earliest of his achievements of long ago. 23 From time indefinite I was installed, from the start, from times earlier than the earth. 24 When there were no watery deeps I was brought forth as with labor pains, when there were no springs heavily charged with water. 25 Before the mountains themselves had been settled down, ahead of the hills, I was brought forth as with labor pains, 26 when as yet he had not made the earth and the open spaces and the first part of the dust masses of the productive land. 27 When he prepared the heavens I was there..
(Proverbs 8:29-31) when he set for the sea his decree that the waters themselves should not pass beyond his order, when he decreed the foundations of the earth, 30 then I came to be beside him as a master worker, and I came to be the one he was specially fond of day by day, I being glad before him all the time, 31 being glad at the productive land of his earth, and the things I was fond of were with the sons of men.
Angels as some time after the Word’s Firstborn position also were involved in the creation of the material universe and earth as no doubt more than idle witnesses:
(Job 38:4-7) 4 Where did you happen to be when I founded the earth? Tell me, if you do know understanding. 5 Who set its measurements, in case you know, Or who stretched out upon it the measuring line? 6 Into what have its socket pedestals been sunk down, Or who laid its cornerstone, 7 When the morning stars joyfully cried out together, And all the sons of God began shouting in applause?
(Isaiah 40:25-26) “But to whom can you people liken me so that I should be made his equal?” says the Holy One. 26 “Raise your eyes high up and see. Who has created these things? It is the One who is bringing forth the army of them even by number, all of whom he calls even by name. Due to the abundance of dynamic energy, he also being vigorous in power, not one of them is missing.

[2] Angels Symbolized as Stars and Sons of God Back
Genesis 6 and Job 1-3, shows that angels are called Sons of the True God. They are also referred to as stars.
Angels as stars:
(Job 38:7) When the morning stars joyfully cried out together, And all the sons of God began shouting in applause?
(Numbers 24:17) 17 I shall see him, but not now; I shall behold him, but not near. A star will certainly step forth out of Jacob, And a scepter will indeed rise out of Israel.
(Revelation 22:16) 16 “‘I, Jesus, sent my angel to bear witness to you people of these things for the congregations. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright morning star.’”
Angels as sons:
(Job 1:6) Now it came to be the day when the sons of the true God entered to take their station before Jehovah, and even Satan proceeded to enter right among them.
(Genesis 6:1-2) Now it came about that when men started to grow in numbers on the surface of the ground and daughters were born to them, 2 then the sons of the true God began to notice the daughters of men, that they were good-looking; and they went taking wives for themselves, namely, all whom they chose.
[3] The 144000 Messianic Kingdom Royal Family are a Special Purchase; Firstfruits of the First Resurrection Back
The 144000 are a special purchase, the word “BOUGHT” used only 3 times in Revelation:
(Rev 5:9-10) with your blood you BOUGHT persons for God out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, 10 and you made them to be a KINGDOM and PRIESTS to our God, and they are to rule as KINGS over the earth.
(Rev 14:3-4) the hundred and forty-four thousand, who have been BOUGHT from the earth…These were BOUGHT from among mankind as firstfruits to God and to the Lamb.
(Revelation 20:4-6) And they came to life and ruled as KINGS with the Christ for a thousand years… This is the first resurrection. 6 Happy and holy is anyone having part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no authority, but they will be PRIESTS of God and of the Christ, and will rule as KINGS with him for the thousand years.
Putting it all together:
“with your blood you BOUGHT persons for God out of every… nation… to be a KINGDOM and PRIESTS to our God, and they are to rule as KINGS over the earth…the hundred and forty-four thousand, who have been BOUGHT from the earth…These were BOUGHT from among mankind as FIRSTFRUITS to God and to the Lamb…And they came to life and ruled as KINGS with the Christ for a thousand years… This is the FIRST resurrection. 6 Happy and holy is anyone having part in the FIRST resurrection; over these the second death has no authority, but they will be PRIESTS of God and of the Christ, and will rule as KINGS with him for the thousand years.”
No one else’s purchase is mentioned in Revelation except the “firstfruits” of Kingdom first-resurrection. We know Christ bought the world of mankind, but not all of them are “firstfruits” for the Messianic Kingdom. Since there is only one group purchased with all these attributes unique to themselves, this is all the same Kingdom group:
1. All bought;
2. All kings;
3. All priests;
4. All the Messianic Kingdom powers
5. All as firstfruits and
6. All first resurrection of those firstfruits;
7. All from among mankind, not all mankind, but among the nations.
Firstfruits is also FIRST. Obviously as in other, FINAL, “ingathered” human “fruitage” must also follow this with earthly significance: Great crowd survivors and the earthly resurrection “harvests” of the righteous and the unrighteous.
(Rev 5:9-10; 14:3-4; 20:4-6)
“with your blood you BOUGHT persons for God out of every… nation… to be a KINGDOM and PRIESTS to our God, and they are to rule as KINGS over the earth…the hundred and forty-four thousand, who have been BOUGHT from the earth…These were BOUGHT from among mankind as FIRSTFRUITS to God and to the Lamb…And they came to life and ruled as KINGS with the Christ for a thousand years… This is the FIRST resurrection. 6 Happy and holy is anyone having part in the FIRST resurrection; over these the second death has no authority, but they will be PRIESTS of God and of the Christ, and will rule as KINGS with him for the thousand years.”
[4] Eternal Purpose Unchangeable: Earthly Perfection Back
(Ephesians 3:8-12) To me, a man less than the least of all holy ones, this undeserved kindness was given, that I should declare to the nations the good news about the unfathomable riches of the Christ 9 and should make men see how the sacred secret is administered which has from the indefinite past been hidden in God, who created all things. 10 This was to the end that now to the governments and the authorities in the heavenly places there might be made known through the congregation the greatly diversified wisdom of God, 11 according to the eternal purpose that he formed in connection with the Christ, Jesus our Lord, 12 by means of whom we have this freeness of speech and an approach with confidence through our faith in him.
(Ephesians 1:8-14) This he caused to abound toward us in all wisdom and good sense, 9 in that he made known to us the sacred secret of his will. It is according to his good pleasure which he purposed in himself 10 for an administration at the full limit of the appointed times, namely, to gather all things together again in the Christ, the things in the heavens and the things on the earth. Yes, in him, 11 in union with whom we were also assigned as heirs, in that we were foreordained according to the purpose of him who operates all things according to the way his will counsels, 12 that we should serve for the praise of his glory, we who have been first to hope in the Christ. 13 But you also hoped in him after you heard the word of truth, the good news about your salvation. By means of him also, after you believed, you were sealed with the promised holy spirit, 14 which is a token in advance of our inheritance, for the purpose of releasing by a ransom God’s own possession, to his glorious praise.
(Ephesians 1:15-23) That is why I also, since I have heard of the faith you have in the Lord Jesus and toward all the holy ones, 16 do not cease giving thanks for you. I continue mentioning you in my prayers, 17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the accurate knowledge of him; 18 the eyes of your heart having been enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he called you, what the glorious riches are which he holds as an inheritance for the holy ones, 19 and what the surpassing greatness of his power is toward us believers. It is according to the operation of the mightiness of his strength, 20 with which he has operated in the case of the Christ when he raised him up from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, 21 far above every government and authority and power and lordship and every name named, not only in this system of things, but also in that to come. 22 He also subjected all things under his feet, and made him head over all things to the congregation, 23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills up all things in all.
(Romans 8:18-23) Consequently I reckon that the sufferings of the present season do not amount to anything in comparison with the glory that is going to be revealed in us. 19 For the eager expectation of the creation is waiting for the revealing of the sons of God. 20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not by its own will but through him that subjected it, on the basis of hope 21 that the creation itself also will be set free from enslavement to corruption and have the glorious freedom of the children of God. 22 For we know that all creation keeps on groaning together and being in pain together until now. 23 Not only that, but we ourselves also who have the firstfruits, namely, the spirit, yes, we ourselves groan within ourselves, while we are earnestly waiting for adoption as sons, the release from our bodies by ransom.
[5] Zion – God’s Dominant Universal Kingdom the ‘Fatherly’ Source of the “Woman’s” Birth of Rev12 Back
(Isaiah 8:18) Look! I and the children whom Jehovah has given me are as signs and as miracles in Israel from Jehovah of armies, who is residing in Mount Zion.
(Hebrews 2:13-15) “Look! I and the young children, whom Jehovah gave me.” 14 Therefore, since the “young children” are sharers of blood and flesh, he also similarly partook of the same things, that through his death he might bring to nothing the one having the means to cause death, that is, the Devil; 15 and that he might emancipate all those who for fear of death were subject to slavery all through their lives.
(Psalm 110:1-7) The utterance of Jehovah to my Lord is: “Sit at my right hand Until I place your enemies as a stool for your feet.” 2 The rod of your strength Jehovah will send out of Zion
(Psalm 2:6-9) 6 Saying: “I, even I, have installed my king Upon Zion, my holy mountain.”
(Revelation 14:1) And I saw, and, look! the Lamb standing upon the Mount Zion, and with him a hundred and forty-four thousand having his name and the name of his Father written on their foreheads.

[King] Back
(Luke 22:28-30) “However, you are the ones that have stuck with me in my trials; 29 and I MAKE a covenant with you, just as my Father HAS MADE a covenant with me, for a kingdom, 30 that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones to judge the twelve tribes of Israel.
One covenant is in the past tense: “my Father HAS MADE a covenant with me”, the other Messianic Kingdom “new covenant” was being made new that night: ” I MAKE a covenant with you (11 apostles) “.
The covenant for Universal Kingdom of Heaven with Jehovah Almighty God was given details in the bible before Jesus came to earth by none other than King David the great typical symbol of Christ the “Son of David”, God’s King:
(Psalm 2:6-8) 6 Saying: “I, even I, have installed my king Upon Zion, my holy mountain.” 7 Let me refer to the decree of Jehovah; He has said to me: “You are my son; I, today, I have become your father. 8 Ask of me, that I may give nations as your inheritance And the ends of the earth as your own possession.
We see that Zion is God’s Kingdom into which Christ by mission accomplishment in full sealing of that covenant power with his Father Jehovah enters as Michael also a King to stand from “Great Prince”, the archangel, into the Mighty God King by Almighty God plainly stated decree.
(Daniel 12:1) “And during that time Michael will stand up, the great prince who is standing in behalf of the sons of your people. And there will certainly occur a time of distress such as has not been made to occur since there came to be a nation until that time.
We see in Daniel “standing” refers to Kingship, as it does in Revelation as well in certain context:
(Revelation 14:1) And I saw, and, look! the Lamb standing upon the Mount Zion, and with him a hundred and forty-four thousand having his name and the name of his Father written on their foreheads.
We see in Daniel this as well. First Christ receives Kingly power:
(Daniel 7:13-27) “I kept on beholding in the visions of the night, and, see there! with the clouds of the heavens someone like a son of man happened to be coming; and to the Ancient of Days he gained access, and they brought him up close even before that One. 14 And to him there were given rulership and dignity and kingdom, that the peoples, national groups and languages should all serve even him. His rulership is an indefinitely lasting rulership that will not pass away, and his kingdom one that will not be brought to ruin.
Then Christ’s “holy ones” ALSO receive Kingdom, just as his Father Jehovah made and delivered a kingdom to Christ so to Christ delivers his Messianic Kingdom to the “holy ones” and he rules in dual capacity as shown in Revelation 12′s crowned “woman” of God PRIOR to the Messianic Kingdom birth.
(Daniel 7:22) ..the Ancient of Days came and judgment itself was given in favor of the holy ones of the Supreme One, and the definite time arrived that the holy ones took possession of the kingdom itself.
(Daniel 7:26) And the Court itself proceeded to sit [1], and his own rulership they finally took away, in order to annihilate him and to destroy him totally. 27 “‘And the kingdom and the rulership and the grandeur of the kingdoms under all the heavens were given to the people who are the holy ones of the Supreme One. Their kingdom is an indefinitely lasting kingdom, and all the rulerships will serve and obey even them.’
We see too in Daniel 12:1 the reference to Satan’s “woe to the earth” as culminating also concurrent WITH Michael’s standing into Kingship in heaven, ” And there will certainly occur a time of distress such as has not been made to occur since there came to be a nation until that time.”
This fulfills Psalm 110 that shows by divine decree of Jehovah, the Son of God rules in the midst of his enemies while they are still active he is subduing the faithful from the nations in the “good news” preaching work also climaxing on earth. In fact the “sheep” come in willingly, Zion is Christ’s first source of power – the “rod of strength”:
(Psalm 110:1-3) The utterance of Jehovah to my Lord is: “Sit at my right hand Until I place your enemies as a stool for your feet.” 2 The rod of your strength Jehovah will send out of Zion, saying: “Go subduing in the midst of your enemies.” 3 Your people will offer themselves willingly on the day of your military force. In the splendors of holiness, from the womb of the dawn, You have your company of young men just like dewdrops.

(Genesis 3:14-15) And Jehovah God proceeded to say to the serpent: “Because you have done this thing, you are the cursed one…And I shall put enmity between you and the woman and between your seed and her seed. He will bruise you in the head and you will bruise him in the heel.”
(Ezekiel 28:17) 17 “‘“Your heart became haughty because of your beauty. You brought your wisdom to ruin on account of your beaming splendor. Onto the earth I will throw you. [Rev12:7-9] Before kings I will set you, for them to look upon you.
(Ezekiel 28:18) And I shall bring forth a fire from the midst of you. It is what must devour you. And I shall make you ashes upon the earth before the eyes of all those seeing you.
(Revelation 20:9-10) But fire came down out of heaven and devoured them. 10 And the Devil who was misleading them was hurled into the lake of fire and sulphur..
(Ezekiel 38:22) a flooding downpour and hailstones, fire and sulphur I shall rain down upon him
(Matthew 25:41) cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the Devil and his angels.
