Message Two

Seeing a Vision of the Throne of God, the Spiritual Scene behind the World Situation, and Christ as the Center of God’s Administration

Opening Word of the Prophesying Meeting

Reading the verses in each day.

Reading the main points in the outlines.

Pray-reading the verses:

Rev. 5:6 And I saw in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures and in the midst of the elders a Lamb standing as having just been slain, having…seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.

Dan. 4:17, 26 …To the intent that the living may know that the Most High is the Ruler over the kingdom of men and gives it to whomever He wills and sets up over it the lowliest of men. …Your kingdom will be assured to you after you have come to know that the heavens do rule.

Word of Appetizer

In Revelation and the book of Daniel we see a spiritual vision, the throne of God, what is the meaning?

We need to see a spiritual vision of the throne of God as the center of God’s administration throughout the universe. God on the throne is behind the scene ruling over everyone and everything; everything concerning the world situation is decided on the throne.

The book of Daniel shows that all the kings and kingdoms of the world are under God’s administration; the entire world situation is under the rule of the heavens by the God of the heavens. The ruling of the heavens by the God of the heavens over all human government on earth matches the eternal economy of God.

Spiritual Burden

We need to see a spiritual vision of the throne of God as the center of God’s administration throughout the univers, and to realize that the sovereign God is ruling over everyone and everything, God has the full capacity to carry out what He wants according to the desire of His heart and according to His eternal economy.

Concluding Word of the Prophesying Meeting

The Revelation of the Truth

We need to see a spiritual vision of the throne of God as the center of God’s administration throughout the universe.

Chapter 10 of the book of Daniel presents a vision of the spiritual scene behind the world situation: in the spiritual world Christ is the preeminent One; good and evil spirits, spirits that are engaged in an invisible spiritual war.

Christ is the center of God’s administration according to God’s eternal economy; Christ in His ascension has been enthroned to execute God’s administration, His governmental operation.

The Experience of Life

The Christ is precious, valuable, complete, and perfect; as the Priest, He is taking care of us, and as the King, He is ruling over us.

The enthroned Christ, the heavenly Administrator in God’s universal government, is the worthy Lion-Lamb, the overcoming Redeemer; the Lamb, the Redeemer, the One slain on the cross for our sins, is now on the throne, carrying out God’s administration over the entire universe.

Practice and Application

The entire world situation is under the rule of the heavens by the God of the heavens, to match His economy for Christ. As we see this situation, we must wake up and realize that the world is not for us. We are for Christ, and every day we must prepare ourselves to meet Him. Then we will receive a reward from Him.

In our universe many things happen day by day for the purpose of making Christ preeminent. We need to realize this and be submissive to God’s heavenly rule.
