HERE & NOW for THEN & THERE Pt. 1

Italic text by David Berg - and the Family International

Beloved, Jesus was not kidding when He said that He would make you ruler over many cities! You are going to literally rule and reign with Him over all the Earth! It will be a perfect Kingdom, a perfect government, with perfect officers--you! You're going to run it! You want to be a policeman?--You want to be a governor?--You want to be a judge? All kinds of jobs are wide open! You want to be a king? God's Word says that He's the King of kings, so you can be one of His kings! You can rule a city or a whole country or a whole continent, whatever you are capable of ruling, according to the training you've already had and according to your faithfulness and your loyalty to God while you were here!

WANNA BE A GOVERNOR?

Jesus said that he that was faithful in just a few things would be made ruler over many things! You want to run the World? Well, be faithful unto death and He'll give you a crown and you'll be one of His kings! The Bible says so! (Rev.2:10.) For "he that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much.--Because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities!"--Or, "be thou over five cities!" (Lk.16:10; 19:17,19.) We're going to rule literal, Earthly, down-to-Earth, Worldly cities and countries, nations and continents, and train human, physical, down-to-Earth people just like you and I are now!

We will be dispersed throughout the World, each of us ruling over a certain portion and people of the Earth, over the unsaved who were left behind during the Rapture. Some will rule over one city, some will rule over five cities, and some over ten cities!--It's all going to be very literal. You are literally going to rule over cities and countries and peoples.--Think of that! Wow!

SOME WILL SHINE BUT SOME WILL SHAME

Now some Christians who didn't accomplish very much for the Lord in this life and weren't faithful and never witnessed, maybe they'll only be a block warden in the next life--they may only have control of one block of a city or part of its Main Street or something. Because they weren't very responsible for their fellow man during this present age--they didn't show much concern about him, they didn't care whether he got saved or not, they didn't witness, they didn't preach the Gospel--God certainly is not going to give them much responsibility during the Millennium either!

But who knows, maybe the Lord will mercifully give some Christians a little opportunity to redeem themselves during the Millennium for what they failed to do during this age of grace.--I hope so! Because there are going to be millions of Christians who are going to be awfully ashamed--and for whom you're going to feel an awful lot of contempt--who never did a damn thing to reach the heathen or preach the Gospel or save the lost or help others! So I hope they have another chance to do then what they failed to do here.--Otherwise some are going to be one Hell of a mess!
**
THANK GOD FOR THE HOPE OF SUCH WONDERFUL THINGS TO COME!

God's plan is not going to be defeated! He's going to bring us through to final perfection the way He originally intended!--We'll have eternal, wonderful happiness, joy and paradise on Earth, like what we who love the Lord have even now, only better, and forever and ever, and ever! Hallelujah!
