Mans kingdom is built upon the corporation. Corporations are
easy to start and can be built quickly, but they are also
unstable. Corporations can merge, fail, be reorganized and
experience hostile takeovers. Yhwh's Kingdom is built not upon
the corporation but the family. The false church being a part
of man's kingdom is also built upon the corporation. Yhwh's
Kingdom started with Abraham. It took Abraham 100 years to
father two sons. Of the two sons only one was the son of the
promise.
ROM 9:7 Neither, because they are the seed of
Abraham, [are they] all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed
be called.
ROM 9:8 That is, They which are the children of the
flesh, these [are] not the children of God: but the children
of the promise are counted for the seed.
ROM 9:9 For this [is] the word of promise, At
this time will I come, and Sara shall have a son.
Isaac had only two sons also Esau and Jacob and only one of
those sons was chosen. Jacob became Israel, which means ruling
with God.
ROM 9:10 And not only [this]; but when Rebecca also
had conceived by one, [even] by our father Isaac;
ROM 9:11 For [the children] being not yet born,
neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God
according to election might stand, not of works, but of him
that calleth;)
ROM 9:12 It was said unto her, The elder shall serve
the younger.
ROM 9:13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but
Esau have I hated.
Yhwh's covenants were made with one man's family. And
Yhwh's Kingdom is built with the remnant of that one family.
Where our limited human minds want to build now, today. In
Yhwh's Kingdom a day is like a thousand years.
We are given a dominion (kingdom building) mandate. Be
fruitful (productive), multiply (have children), and have
dominion (build Yhwh's Kingdom). Notice that the first step
being productive qualifies us for the second step having
children, and the second step qualifies us for dominion. Many
men want to jump straight to step three, but it doesn't work
that way.
Gen 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto
them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and
subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea,
and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that
moveth upon the earth.
Yhwh's Kingdom is described as the stone kingdom. Jesus is
the stone.
DAN 2:34 Thou sawest till that a stone was
cut out without hands, which smote the image upon
his feet [that were] of iron and clay, and brake them to
pieces.
GEN 49:24 But his bow abode in strength, and the
arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty
[God] of Jacob; (from thence [is] the shepherd, the stone
of Israel:)
PSA 118:22 The stone [which] the builders
refused is become the head [stone] of the corner.
ISA 8:14 And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a
stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both
the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the
inhabitants of Jerusalem.
ISA 28:16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold,
I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried
stone, a precious corner [stone], a sure
foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.
MAT 21:42 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read
in the scriptures, The stone which the builders
rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is
the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
MAT 21:44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone
shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will
grind him to powder.
ACT 4:11 This is the stone which was set at
nought of you builders, which is become the head of the
corner.
1PE 2:7 Unto you therefore which believe [he is]
precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone
which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of
the corner,
1PE 2:8 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock
of offence, [even to them] which stumble at the word, being
disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.
While Jesus is the chief cornerstone in the Kingdom of God
we are all stones being built into the Kingdom.
JHN 1:42 And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus
beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou
shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.
EPH 2:20 And are built upon the foundation of the
apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief
corner [stone];
The Hebrew word for son (ben) and the Hebrew word for stone
(eben) both have their roots from the word 'banah' which
means "he built". Yhwh's Kingdom, the stone kingdom, is built
from sons.
PSA 127:1 [[A Song of degrees for Solomon.]] Except
the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it:
except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh [but] in
vain.
PSA 127:2 [It is] vain for you to rise up early, to
sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: [for] so he giveth
his beloved sleep.
PSA 127:3 Lo, children [are] an heritage of the
LORD: [and] the fruit of the womb [is his] reward.
PSA 127:4 As arrows [are] in the hand of a mighty
man; so [are] children of the youth.
PSA 127:5 Happy [is] the man that hath his quiver
full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak
with the enemies in the gate.
