The Removal of Pride – Everlasting Kingdom which shall not pass away
My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, in the portion of the Bible that we meditated upon in the past days, we meditated regarding how God showed Daniel in a vision that the beasts from the sea came up from the sea due to the stirring of the four winds of heaven. In this manner, God is showing as a pattern that because of the winds of the heaven, the river of Christ (righteousness, justice) through the word of God, which is the Holy Spirit, blows in our soul (which is the sea) in four types of appearances; for the beasts in our soul (world, flesh, devil, lust, pride and many types of evil deeds) to be removed, God establishes his throne in our soul. That is why –
Daniel 7: 9 – 12 “I watched till thrones were put in place, and the Ancient of Days was seated; His garment was white as snow, And the hair of His head was like pure wool. His throne was a fiery flame, Its wheels a burning fire;
A fiery stream issued and came forth from before Him. A thousand thousands ministered to Him; Ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him. The court was seated, and the books were opened.
“I watched then because of the sound of the pompous words which the horn was speaking; I watched till the beast was slain, and its body destroyed and given to the burning flame.
As for the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away, yet their lives were prolonged for a season and a time.
When we meditate on the above-mentioned verses, our Lord Jesus Christ (kingdom of God) came down strongly within us to remove all the beastly characters that we meditated upon in the past day he establishes his kingdom in our soul.
Daniel 7: 10, 11 A fiery stream (word of God) issued and came forth from before Him. A thousand thousands ministered to Him; Ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him. The court was seated, and the books were opened.
“I watched then because of the sound of the pompous words which the horn was speaking; I watched till the beast was slain, and its body destroyed and given to the burning flame.
My dear people, God is showing as a pattern to Daniel that God will reign in the midst of each and every one of his people.
God is reigning in our midst (in our soul). That is, in our midst his throne is being kept. Throne signifies his righteousness and justice. That is the foundation of the throne. The Ancient of days was seated on it. He is our Lord Jesus Christ. He had received long life. The Christ who had died and resurrected will not die again. His righteousness will stand forever. All our other life will go away from us. His garment was white as snow, And the hair of His head was like pure wool. The clothes that he was wearing (garment) is holy and all his thoughts are white (will be pure). His throne (righteousness, justice) was a fiery flame, Its wheels a burning fire; We, his people, when his deeds come within us is a burning fire.
Since all these are the words of God, it is running as fire, as a stream. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is a fire. That fire is running as a stream. Since that stream is running in all places, thousand thousands ministered to Him. Ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him. The court was seated, and the books were opened.
My dear people, since the word of God came forth from our soul, it will work in all the parts of our body. Also, since our mouth is as God’s mouth, tongue, lips; from that mouth God’s words go forth to all the nations and to all the places. When Daniel saw in his dream the ones that ministered were thousand thousands. What this shows in God’s words is that he who walks in a perfect way, he shall serve me. He who works deceit shall not dwell within my house.
That is, how much ever time we may serve God, only those who serve God in a perfect way are serving God. We can beautifully understand that otherwise those depending on futility and those who are speaking words of lies and walking according to it are not serving him.
In the middle of those without truth (with futility) the court is seated. Then the books are opened. Each one of us is that book. When God is seated as the court in our soul, he opens them.
I watched then because of the sound of the pompous words which the horn was speaking; I watched till the beast was slain
Let us think about this word. In each person’s life we see that a horn called as pride gets lifted. When we worship God, God analyzes us. When he analyzes us, he removes the pride from the hearts of those who submit to God. God will stand against the souls who do not submit themselves.
Our soul is an open book in front of God and before the court. If God opens it, no one can hide or refuse or close it. There is nothing hidden before God. We must be an open book before God.
Daniel 7: 11 “I watched then because of the sound of the pompous words which the horn was speaking; I watched till the beast was slain, and its body destroyed and given to the burning flame.
The pride of men is a beast (dragon). God is destroying that pride for those whom he desires.
Daniel 7: 12 As for the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away, yet their lives were prolonged for a season and a time.
When pride gets destroyed along with that other beasts also get destroyed. God will remove them in the time according to his will. Daniel 7: 13 “I was watching in the night visions, and behold, one like the Son of Man, coming with the clouds of heaven! He came to the Ancient of Days, and they brought Him near before Him. (He is our Lord Jesus Christ).
Daniel 7: 14 Then to Him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and His kingdom the one which shall not be destroyed.
My dear people, in this manner in our soul God gives the reign to our Lord Jesus Christ and gives him dominion and gives him an everlasting dominion which shall not pass away and as a kingdom which shall not be destroyed and God is making all the people to serve only Him. Let each one of us receive such a life and for a everlasting kingdom to come within us let us all submit ourselves and pray.
May the Lord bless you all abundantly.
