A NATION UNDER GOD
4th OF JULY
1 CHRONICLES 7:13-14 “When I shut up the heavens so that there is
no rain, or command locusts to devour the land, or send a plague among my people, if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn over from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”

ALL NATIONS UNDER GOD: THE FINAL GOALA conversation between Father and Son
PSALM 2: 1-3: What the kings think: Why do nations conspire and the peoples plot in
vain? The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers
gather together against the Lord and against His anointed One.
“Let us break their chains”, they say, “and throw off their fetters.”
Psalm 2: 4-6: How God sees it.
The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord scoffs at them. Then He rebukes them in His anger and terrifies them in His wrath, saying, “I have installed my King on Zion, My holy hill.”
Psalm 2: 6-9: What God told the Son
I will proclaim the decree of the Lord: He said to
me, “You are My Son; today I have become your Father. Ask of Me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession. You will rule them with an iron scepter; you will dash them to pieces like pottery.
Psalm 2: 10-12: God’s word to the kings
Therefore, you kings, be wise; be warned, you rules of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest He be angry and you will be destroyed in your way, for His wrath can flare up in a moment. Blessed are all who take refuge in Him.
ALL NATIONS UNDER GOD:THE END OF MANKIND HISTORY
Revelation 5:9-10 And they sang a new song: “You are worthy to
take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased men for God from every tribe and language and people and nation. You have made them to be kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign on the earth.”
ALL NATIONS UNDER GOD:THE END OF MANKIND HISTORY
Revelation 7:9-10 After this I looked and there before me was a great
multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. And they cried out in a loud voice: “Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.”
ALL NATIONS UNDER GOD:THE END OF MANKIND HISTORY
Revelation 15:3-4 “Great and marvelous are your deeds, Lord God
Almighty. Just and true are your ways, King of the ages. Who will not fear you, O Lord, and bring glory to your name? For you alone are holy. All nations will come and worship before you, for your righteous acts have been revealed.”
IN BETWEENPhilipians 2: 5-11
Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness, and being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death __ even death on a cross!
Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
IN BETWEENJesus was born on the earthJesus died on the crossJesus was raised from the deadJesus ascended to heaven and seated
at His throne
