Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment. And a man shall be as a hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land. And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear shall hearken. The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly. Isaiah 32:1-4.
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelled righteousness. 2 Peter 3: 10 -13.
To all my children in the faith as well as to all my correspondence, and to the fathers and mothers in the Lord, and to friends and brethren worldwide in the Lord which observe this day and those who do not see any significance in it for a reason of their faith (one-man esteems one day above another: another esteems every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. He that regards the day, regards it unto the Lord; and he that regards not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he that eats not, to the Lord he eats not, and gives God thanks. For none of us lives to himself, and no man dies to himself. For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord’s. For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living. Romans 14:5-9), I wish to humbly submit before us this morning of the present and future reasons of Christ incarnate – the God manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. 1Timothy 3:16.
Had Adam and Eve overcome their temptation in the Garden of Eden, Satan should be neither god nor the prince of this world (John 14:30): though he was expelled after his rebellion against God from heaven to earth, it was the fall of man on earth which made a room for the illegal existence and operation of the kingdom, rules and powers of darkness; thus the whole world fall into the hand and the direction of the wicked one through its lawful captives of Adam and Eve. 1 John 5:19. Devil was the first sinner from heaven (you were perfect in thy ways from the day that thou were created, till iniquity was found in thee. Ezekiel 28:15), the father of all sinners (he that commits sin is of the devil; for the devil sins from the beginning. For this purpose, the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 1 John 3:8): therefore, whosoever is practicing sin is under the rule of Satan – a servant of sin, and the servant abides not in the house for ever: but the Son abides ever. If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. John 8:34-36.
Though Satan lost the battle in his quest for the throne of God in heaven, nevertheless, he was able to rob and deprive man of his right to continue in his fellowship and service before God in the Garden of Eden, whereby he corrupt and enslave man to his own flesh, slave to sin, slave to the fallen world he misled to deceive man to love (1 John 2:15-17), and become a slave under Satan’s pleasure and influence who has pioneer or instigate the rebellion and the fall as a wise servant (angel) bear rule over a son that bring shame to his father (Proverbs 17:2) as he continue to  carry out spiritual imprisonment in the lives and hearts of the unredeemed and  unrepentant men to fulfill their wrongful, sinful, ungodly and lustful desire of the flesh and of the minds, influencing sinners to walk according to the course (purpose) of the prince of the power of the air (Satan), the spirit that is now at work in the children of disobedience. Ephesians 2:2-3.
Right from the Garden of Eden, Satan succeeds to deceive and take away the heart of man from God; but worst of it all, he pursue to change and to take man’s eternal future and destiny away from God and away from the man unto himself in hell for eternity by setting up the establishment of his own kingdom – the kingdom of this world (Jesus answered, my kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence. Matthew 4:8-9. John 18:36) to rule over the man whom he has taken captive by him at his will (2 Timothy 2:26), thus he obtains the title of the god of this world (but if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: in whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. 2 Corinthians 4:3-4) who fight vigorously by all possible means to protect and defend his temporal territory in order to keep his subject (souls of men) in perpetual captivity through hardness of heart, deceitful of sin and lusts of many other things against the truth and salvation of eternal life which is preached through the gospel of Jesus Christ for repentance and forgiveness of sins.
Our Lord Jesus was revealed as the King who has come in the name of the Lord (and when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen; saying, blessed be the King that comes in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest. Luke 19:37-38), not only for the Jews people, bur for the Gentile nations and people as well (now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers: and that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name. And again he says, rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people. And again, praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye people. And again, Isaiah says, there shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust. Isaiah 10:11. Romans 15:8-12), whose kingdom at first, is not designed to a be visible one as the Jewish people wrongfully perceived in their expectation and imagination of a Messiah who’d come as a political leader or as a revolutionary man, or as an worldly -earthly royal lord, but not a lowly, humble man born to a carpenter father through the foolishness of God which is wiser than man’s wisdom for their spiritual deliverance from sin and inner transformation and sanctification (then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, this is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world. When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone. John 6:14-15) Christ came to give and represent on earth.
The kingdom of God in Christ present reign is spiritual – a King shall reign in righteousness and his princes (let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds. Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand; to execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people; to bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron; to execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the Lord. Psalms 149:5-9) shall rule in judgment: as it is written, for it shall come to pass in that day, says the Lord of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds, and starngers shall no longer serve themselves of him: but they shall serve the Lord their God, and David theit king, whom I will raise up unto them. Jeremiah 30: 8-9.
This is the  rule of Christ over those he has redeemed by the sacrifice of his precious unblemished blood whose lives are changed from the old and ungodly sinful life to the new – righteous, holy and godly life by the circumcision of the heart by Christ to dethrone and to undo the past, present and future works of Satan in their lives, having made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him (2 Corinthians 5:17-21), who has  delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son (Colossians 1:13), which is also the kingdom of righteousness (Romans 14:17) but is residence to rule from within us (and when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, the kingdom of God cometh not with observation: neither shall they say, lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. Luke 17:20-21), even in the hearts where Christ should dwell by faith (Ephesians 3:17) as Christ subjects awaits through the Spirit, the hope of righteousness by faith in him – eternal life. Galatians 5:5.
In the Garden of Eden, the devil secretly robbed to devalue the worth of man and to turn his glory into shame by the corruption of his divine nature to lustful animalistic behaviors of ungodliness and worldly lusts. On the contrary, Christ openly spoiled the principalities and powers on the cross, triumphing over them in it for all the remnant of the seed of the woman to behold the shame, defeat and the fall of Satan for the vengeance of God’s righteousness and purpose which he altered and destroyed in the Garden.
The danger of eternal loss – second death of the fallen man provoked divine love to come down to earth in the nature of the sinful man from heaven when he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and helmet of salvation upon his head: and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing (to bruise the head of the serpent and to avenge man of his deception to fall) and was clad with zeal as a cloke, (Isaiah 59:17) that as sin has reign unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord in his beloved redeemed souls. Romans 5:21. 
The necessity of Christ birth in the flesh as the word of God that was made flesh to dwell among us (and she shall bring forth a son, and thou shall call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins. Matthew 1:21) necessitated the second birth – spiritual birth of the fallen man to quicken him back to God in the Spirit (John 4:24), and to bring him back into fellowship with God (Jesus answered and said unto him, verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus said unto him, how can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born? Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, you must be born again. Nicodemus said unto him, how can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born? Jesus answered, verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, you must be born again: he was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God John 1:10-13. John 3:3-7), having once dead in sins and trespasses as the effect of the Garden’s fall – slave in bondage to sin, but is now freed and made to be dead to sin (Romans 6:2) been delivered from it that he might bring forth fruits unto righteousness and holiness before God through the righteousness which is by faith of God in Christ Jesus (Romans 10:1-10): I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness. For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness. What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. Romans 6:19-22.
Believers should be fed with strong meat – undiluted word of God, thoroughly be instructed in the way of righteousness (in the way of righteousness is life, and in the pathway thereof there is no death. Proverbs 12:28) that they might not be unskillful in the word of righteousness. (Hebrews 5:13) but that they should be filled with the fruit of righteousness which are by Jesus Christ (Philippians 1:11) as they put off the old man which is corrupt according to its deceitful lust and to put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and holiness (Ephesians 4:24): for all the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth: proving what is good and acceptable unto God. Ephesians 5:9.
Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work is pure, and whether it is right (Proverbs 20:11): there is no gainsaying or any dispute about who (Satan or Christ) is reigning over your life if you are allowing sin to reign in your mortal body by obeying it in the lust thereof, then you are indirectly obeying Satan, crowning and testifying to his influence and lordship over your life (Romans 6:16): this is also true if you are not allowing the flesh to have its way or its day in your life by suffering or subduing it through the power received from Christ (if you through the Spirit, you mortify the deeds of the flesh, you shall live. Romans 8:13) at regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit to gain victory over sin condemned in the flesh, so that Christ should be the reigning King of righteousness over your life as you continue to live for the will of God, and not for the lusts of men (1 Peter 4:1-6): blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that do righteousness at all times. Psalms 106:3.
The King of righteousness (and again, when he brings in the first begotten into the world, he says, and let all the angels of God worship him. And of the angels he says, who makes his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. But unto the Son he says, thy throne, O God, is forever and ever: a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of thy kingdom. Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. Hebrews 1:6-9) is another title name given to Jesus Christ by the Father for the honor and praises of the travail of his soul (Isaiah 53:11) to bring many sons unto glory whom he has clothed with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels (Isaiah 61:9-10: the Lord has brought forth our righteousness, come and let us declare in Zion the works of the Lord our God. Jeremiah 51:10.
There are different attributes of God among which he is known as the righteous God which loves righteousness. Righteousness is the symbol and the rod of his power and authority – the scepter of thy kingdom is a scepter of righteousness. In righteousness he judges and fights his war, and his subjects can only be established, unshaken, untouched, unmovable and undefeatable in their battles, struggles, confrontations, contradictions and their sufferings in righteousness or for righteousness’s sake. Revelation 19:11. Believer must overcome the unrighteousness in the flesh (Romans 8:3-4), and the unrighteousness in the world (Titus 2:11-12) while his present victory over sin through grace obtained by prayer from the throne of grace for help against sin is the present reign of Christ in his purchased possession: it is the present triumph and rejoicing of the saints over the indwelling sin – for sin shall not have dominion over them because they no more under the law, but under the power of grace by which they are quickened and made alive unto God in the spirit (and if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the spirit is life because of righteousness. Romans 8:10): for if by one man sin death reigned by one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by One, Jesus Christ – if they are yielding their body as instruments of righteousness unto holiness. Romans 5:17. Romans 6:13.
If we suffer with Christ for righteousness’s sake, we shall also reign with him (2 Timothy 2:12): and who is her that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good? But and if ye suffer for righteousness’ sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled; but sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asks you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ. For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing. For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit1 Peter 3:13-18.
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled – not only now, but shall be satisfied with Christ likeness and image when they shall see him as he is, and they shall be like him in the ages to come because they have been planted together right now in the likeness of the death of their Savior, Lord and King: he shall also make them like him in the likeness of his resurrection, having sown continually to the spirit, that can should reign uninterrupted in their mortal bodies. Romans 6:5.
The saints speak righteousness and righteously because the law of his God is in his heart- the mouth of the righteous knows what is acceptable, but the mouth of the wicked speaks perversion. (Proverbs 10:32): he preaches righteousness in the great congregation (Psalms 40:9) and he lives righteously because the Lord leads him in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake: thus he look beneath the surface to judge righteously according to the righteous judgment. John 7:24.
There are three things which gladdens the heart of God concerning the saints while they live on earth (a) their salvation for turning away from sin, for whatever rejoices the angels of God in heaven, surely is the overflow from him that sits on the throne: ( b) the Lord love his saints – holy and sanctified ones in their daily walk on earth by doing those things that are well pleasing before him which rejoices the heart of the heavenly Father – he withdraws not his eyes from the righteous: but with kings are they on the throne; yea, he doth establish them forever, and they are exalted. And if they be bound in fetters and be holds in cords of affliction; then he shows them their work, and their transgressions that they have exceeded. He opens also their ear to discipline, and commands that they return from iniquity. If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures. But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge. Job 36:7-12: (c) finally, when we are absent from the body, we are present with the Lord who is now very pleased and happy with the physical death of coming home of his saints on earth as they now enter into their final rest and their works follow them.
Though, some part of the good works of the saints are already tailored made and turned over as their white clean linen robe for the feast of the King’s Son (and I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thundering, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigns. Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. And he says unto me, Write, blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he says unto me, these are the true sayings of God. Revelation 19:6-9) the rest shall be their treasure secure and lay up for themselves in heaven. They shall see him face to face to feast with the blood which binds them together (Matthew 26:29), by the which they are betroth forever unto him in righteousness, mercy and truth (and I will betroth thee unto me forever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in loving-kindness, and in mercies. I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou shall know the Lord. Hosea 2:19-20) at the marriage supper of the Lamb.
Presently, the saints are reigning on earth as kings and priests in the righteousness of Christ their King of righteousness as long as they continually walk in the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus which has made them free from the law of sin and death, so that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in them, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit (Romans 8 verses 1 & 4) that sin should not reign in their mortal bodies to obey it in the lusts thereof (and they sung a new song, saying, thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou was slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; and hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. Revelation 5:9-10): they are known and called as the righteous nation which keeps the truth. Isaiah 26:2. Note: unless we dethrone the spirit of Absalom’s short and saddened false reign through false humility and deception (2 Samuel 15: 5-10), and rebellion against the truth and against God’s established authority over us to overcome every self-seeking desire and ambition that we might keep walking in the fruit of the Spirit of Christ with all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love, the son of David in the flesh (Christ) is not our true King. Matthew 24:25. Dethrone Satan, pride, falsehood, pretentious and deceptive spirit, false humility, fornication, adultery, drunkenness, envy, bitterness, with craft, worldliness, ungodliness, unrighteousness and iniquities to let Christ reign in truth, holiness, godliness with all equity in your life (Psalms 99:4.): grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen. Ephesians 6:24.
This God is our God, forever and ever; he will be our guide even unto death. Psalms 48:14) been the song and confession of those righteous who have made up their minds to live and to die for Christ, and of those who are now dead in Christ, having died righteous death or died in the righteousness of their King (Numbers 23:10), they shall first reign with him on earth in the first resurrection at the second coming of Christ on earth for a thousand years (blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. Revelation 20:6): afterward, they shall reign forever with the Lord their King of righteousness in a new heaven and a new earth where the righteous people shall dwell according to his promise (and he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manners of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: and they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God gives them light: and they shall reign forever and ever. Revelation 22:1-5), while the King’s enemies both inide the church and outside of it – believers and unbelievers alike, which would not that he should reign over them shall be condemned and punished before him in the fire prepared for Satan and his angels. Luke 19:26-27.
