Before the Cross Jesus said the devil was "the ruler of this world," After the cross King Jesus is the ruler of ALL the Kings and Nations in the world in Rev 1:5 which is the time BEFORE the time when Jesus comes "with the clouds" in Rev 1:7 and fulfills what Jesus told the high priest Caiphas that he would personally see, in his life time, Jesus the King of Kings and Son of God coming in great judgment with "the clouds." Mark 14:62
The act of sin in eventually brings eternal damnation and separation from God, if one does not REPENT. Christ Jesus in the wilderness was actually tempted by "the ruler of this world" with a valid offer of the kingdoms of this world, just as greed and avarice are seducing-tempting spirits. God had actually given authority to the devil to rule this world. Jesus said, the devil is "the ruler of the world." The Devil, in the Old Testament had authority of the kings of the earth. In the New Testament Jesus Christ rules in the Throne of God the kingdoms of this world on earth as it is judged in heaven.
"Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth." Rev 1:5 Jesus Christ RULES the KINGS of the Earth and ALL the NATIONS on earth right now at this time.
It is heresy and defeatism to preach that the "prince of the power of the air" has superior authority now over the earth than that Jesus Christ at this time. The devil has been reduced from "ruler of this world" to restricted authority of "the air." It is because God's Kingdom has come upon the earth as it is in Heaven as Christians choose to "fight the good fight of faith" for Him or against Him in government and against Him in politics. No nation on earth in recorded history has rejected so much light, facts and TRUTH as the USA and as a result God's judgment is much more severe and the ruin and destruction will be proportionate to the Light of God that has been rejected. It is not a "Secret Kingdom" but it is to be proclaimed in the highways, byways and in the government as the Holy Spirit leads today!
Revelation 11:15 "Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!”
Revelation 11:17
“We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty,
who is and who was,
for you have taken your great power
and begun to reign."
God and Jesus Christ have taken full advantage of their new authority and power by the legal sacrifice of the Lamb of God at the Cross of Calvary and has been reigning ever since and is ruling and reigning upon the earth TODAY, and will rule and reign forever in the Life to come!!!"
Jesus rules in your body, spirit and soul as you yield to and follow His Spirit, however you are to express His rulership through your mind and ballot box. Jesus has rule over everything now in Heaven and on earth, including the air, which is why we battle principalities and powers in the heavenly places. It is our duty to prevail and overcome the evil one as Apostle John writes. Rev 1:5 has Jesus ruling right now ALL of the kings of the earth existing now at this time!
Rev 1 Verse 5 is written before the "time and seasons" of Rev 1 verse 7 where Jesus comes with the clouds!!! Before the "Second Coming" The Bible has written King Jesus rules and is ruling right now!
Revelation 1: 4* "John to the seven churches [not seven church ages which is a heresy, but seven actual churches that actually existed two thousand years ago] that are in Asia: Grace to you and peace, from him who is and who was and who is to come; and from the seven Spirits that are before his throne;"
Rev 1:5* "and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth [Jesus is the King of Kings and Ruler of the kings of the earth beginning two thousand years ago when He came with the clouds in verse Rev 1:7].
Unto him that loveth us, and loosed us from our sins by his blood;"
Rev 1:6* "and He made us to be a kingdom, [we rule and reign with Christ now as they ruled thousands of years ago] to be priests unto His God and Father; to Him be the glory and the dominion for ever and ever." Amen.
Rev 1:7* Behold, He cometh with the clouds; and every eye shall see Him, and they that pierced Him; and all the tribes of the earth shall mourn over Him. Even so, Amen.
Rev 1:8* I am the Alpha and the Omega, saith the Lord God, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty."
Amen
The devil has no authority except what little authority that is given to Him by King Jesus. The devil is mistakenly given authority by the Christians who suffer the consequences. When Christians sin, it gives authority to the devil to adversely influence that part of our lives where we sin. For Christians to give authority is great treason and rebellion in government, bringing God's wrath through the rule of our enemies in government. As King David chose judgment other than Israel's enemies to bring God's judgment, it is because God's enemies in the United Nations will bring the worst of all outcomes in persecution and ruin of Americans for centuries to come in a New World Order of the "New Dark Ages." There will be very little light of God proclaimed as the result of Christians refusing to serve King Jesus in a sovereign Christian nation. As King Jesus is blockaded at the door by antichrist laws, and Christians are told to leave their religion at the door when they come into government, the Light of God, The Truth of Jesus, and the facts removed from consideration on the table of government...
It is written the devil is the "prince of the power of the air" to "seek whom he may devour" and NOT the ruler of the Kings and nations of the Earth as King Jesus who sits on the right hand of the Father ruling now by sometimes smashing enemy nations and making His enemies into His footstool NOW at this time, as He deems necessary 1Cor 15:27.
The Book of Revelation was mostly fulfilled two thousand years ago. Jesus rules and reigns now in the "New Heaven and New Earth." The old heaven and earth that were done away was the spiritual place of existence of ancient Israel and the Jews today. The word "earth" is used in a number of ways in Scripture and in Revelation it is the spiritual place our human spirits dwell is where it represents as metaphor or analog. Jesus rules in the New Heaven and is "preparing a place" for Christians to dwell with Him forever.

Christians oftentimes live in an mindset of defeatism and denial when King Jesus would make us a victorious nation and Kingdom of Kings and Priests, in fact a sovereign Nation who eats at His Table in the presence of His enemy nations. "God is NOT willing that any perish" including the USA. It is people and the government leaders that reject King Jesus and choose to perish by their own free will.
Just as ancient Israel was a sovereign nation so to it was God's will for America to be a sovereign Christian nation and not be ruled by God's enemies in a forbidden U.N. World Government, but the Holy Spirit says the Christians have rebelled against Him!
After the Resurrection for FORTY DAYS Jesus taught on the KINGDOM OF GOD as His priority doctrine and subject. After the forty day symposium for the disciples on the complexities of the Kingdom God, in Acts chapter one the Apostles questioned Jesus about the political restoration of the nation of Israel and the de-facto removal of Rome's government over the nation of Israel. Jesus DID NOT REBUKE His apostles, but answered ONLY the Father knew the "times and seasons" of multiple political on earth, "Israel" nations throughout time remaining for the planet. The USA founding states were some of God's fulfillment of His promise for Christian nations of those who "prevail with God" which is what "Israel" means.
The conversion of the Roman Empire to Christianity was another one of those "times and seasons" promised by our Heavenly Father. In the same manner as God promised Abraham his progeny and future generation would be enslaved by cruel Egypt for 430 years, and then the "Promised Land" so the Christians would suffer for several centuries before the Acts 1, "Promised Land" of the Christian Roman Empire.
The Christians today stubbornly believe in a hopeless utopia fantasy of a Millennium under Christ where they will not have to do anything and Christ will stand on the Mt. Olives and rule in Jerusalem and as fairy tales with "Prince Charming," "Live happily ever after." "God cannot be mocked" and just as ancient Israel had to fight for every square inch of the ancient nation is Israel so today's Christians are required to fight or lose everything to the coming tyranny of the U.N. New World Government and be persecuted for the remaining centuries of life on earth.

The Holy Spirit says "the christians are in rebellion which is why I [King Jesus] gave them a traitor to rule over them [Pres. Obama]." This is why Obama went to the U.N. Security Council to declare war on Libya, as the U.S. Constitution is being "gutted" treaty by treaty as the U.S. Senate and Congress turn over the rights and sovereign law making to the United Nations World Government so God's enemies will prevail everywhere. As Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia said, "all laws will be normalized to world norms." As even conservative justices have decided to "sell out" America to its' enemies, there is literally no hope. Unless the Christians stop opposing God's Kingdom Here On Earth and let King Jesus rule in government instead of the polytheistic state religions and keeping Jesus outside the door.
By preaching King Jesus is NOT ruling the Kings and nations of this earth now at this time results in defeated Christians who fall spiritually by church peer group pressure who are taught to fail and have failed lives and oftentimes the children, which is why there are few children in churches. Either "we are more than conquerors" or defeated saints ruled by satan who is given the individual christian's authority to rule in government instead of Christians giving their authority to King Jesus to rule in government and nations NOW, right now, and that is The Truth! Revelation 12:12-13
Lucifer, the "god of this world" has been cast down out of Heaven and reduced in his access to God as the accuser of the brethren. Satan continues to persecute and deceive others to persecute Christians today, however in a reduced capacity as a "prince of the power of the air" instead of his previous position before the cross, as Jesus said the devil was the "ruler of this world."
Either we believe The Truth that King Jesus rules and reigns right now and teach our children that fact, or we make Jesus out to be a liar tacitly suggesting that Jesus is an irrelevant god, a mere lowly god of the pantheon of gods in submission to the "real gods" of Civil government, such as the goddess Freedom Triumphant statue on the U.S. Capitol building in Washington D.C.

By failing in government to be God's Kingdom of Kings and Priests, and to "work out our salvation in fear and trembling" and "Neglect so great a salvation" in the nations of the Kingdom of God, we reap God's wrathful judgment, just as ancient Israel rejected Jehovah from ruling over them and reaped God's wrathful judgment and destruction. We need to be working every way possible, as the Holy Spirit leads, to make the U.S.A. Government Christian now at this time, or suffer the coming truly severe consequences…
The Christians should not be giving their authority to "The Beast" of the U.N. New World Order and globalism and usually damning their children's souls to be forever lost in the educational system in the sin of rebellion and unbelief.
The Christians sometimes rather lie against the Truth and use an excuse of "manana, manana" that Jesus could come again "soon" instead of the truth that Jesus has ALREADY COME and He and God rules the nations now and "Mixes Politics and Religion." Just as visiting widows and helping orphans is "true religion" so to those that have the charisma gift of government and administrations are expressing God's Holy Spirit will and desire in areas of government and nations making ALL nations disciples of God and Jesus Christ ruling the nation and our Father's Kingdom on Earth is true religion.
We are to not be in denial, but mix politics and religion as the Holy Spirit leads. The world deceives the Christians by saying, "politics and religion don't mix."
The world says, "Politics is the art of compromise," which is actually a "belief system" defined as a religion in Webster's Unabridged three volume Seven Language Dictionary. King Jesus does NOT COMPROMISE the TRUTH and as a result, Jesus righteously rules today.
Politics is usually based upon the ancient roman pagan RELIGION of Civil Government, which is NOT SECULAR, as Thomas Jefferson acknowledged.
The Churches have made a horrible mistake by denying Jesus is Lord and ruling right now and NOT the devil [who is now reduced in authority from being the king and ruler of earth, to being the prince and power of the air and the christians have sinned by failing to "believe whom He has sent" to rule over us and rule the nations of the earth, King Jesus the King of Kings.
Jesus is NOT advising comfort zone "seeker-friendly" weekend social-club churches, but for Christians to suffer for His Namesake and be Martyrs and Witnesses of His Holy Spirit and work for His desire in our lives. Jesus said, "There is no greater love than laying down one's own life for others." Will you lay down your life and soulical desires and help King Jesus to rule government? WIll you let your "old flesh man" die and man's carnal ideas of opposing or simply not helping King Jesus take over the USA Government? Help King Jesus Kingdom on Earth by enacting laws and overruling and reigning in the wayward judicial system with the www.ChristianAmendment.com
Only a United States Christian Constitutional Amendment will potentially be able steer federal, state and local judges back to freedom and liberty, back to truth and justice and save America from the coming tyrannical United Nations World Government and New World Order tyranny. Christians should working with Jesus to save the nation and save each other. Christians should not be damning their neighbors children with the antichrist public schools and giving their authority to the "beast" of the U.N. world government!
By opposing a Christian nation by law, the nation is lost to the kingdom of darkness and most of the children's souls are damned forever by the public schools religious indoctrination which includes the religion of civil government.
Without repentance, the Holy Spirit leads those who will listen to the Holy Spirit, that all the nations on earth will be taken in and deceived by the supreme world religion of civil government into the Kingdom of Darkness for centuries to come...
Pres. Thomas Jefferson correctly identified the religion of civil government was a nemesis and mortal enemy religion of Christianity, Civil Government is NOT secular as the schools indoctrinate the children into world government and adversarial to God. Civil Government is the same religion of ancient Rome that persecuted Christians and murdered them numbering in the millions of murders. Correcting Civil Government with the www.ChristianAmendment.com will keep history from repeating itself. Otherwise without a Christian nation by law, the concentration camps are already under construction and in coming decades the persecution will increase throughout the centuries…
Civil government amounts to more than just a religion, and belief system, it is the SUPREME WORLD RELIGION OF ALMOST ALL GOVERNMENTS AND NATIONS IN THE WORLD… The religion of Civil government means POLYTHEISM and God damning the nation as the children and adults are seduced by other gods to sin against the Holy Spirit and turn to the darkness forever…
The www.ChristianAmendment.com means a THEOCRATIC Constitutional Republic form of government with freedom for all Christian religions according to the individual's own conscience, or lack of one without government interference, favoritism or control.
As far as visitors speaking in a church pulpit, some churches locked the great Apostle Paul out of the church and also sinned against God, as even Jesus was outside the door of the church of the Laodiceans… Refusing to listen to God's oracles through His servants and God's Holy Word results in eternal damnation.
The Bible has commanded "Speak truth to each other" and few politicians are equipped with little more than general deceptions and lies to speak in most to the public/churches. It would be WONDERFUL if leaders spoke truth and possibly have God's mercy on the nation.
It is NOT an agenda of a mere mortal man to establish a Christian nation. It is the agenda of God Himself! Jesus spoke more on the subject and doctrine of His "SOON" coming Kingdom of God and His government which came after the cross more than any other Biblical doctrine in the four gospels of Jesus Christ in the N.T.
If there were at least "ten righteous men" that would advocate Christian Law in the media, a Christian nation as the Holy Spirit leads them, then God could possibly have mercy on the nation.
Churches who preach the "spirit of the world" that the devil is ruling now, are greatly sinning, causing despair and scattering the flock of Jesus!!!
The ONLY thing that needs to be done is God having the devil locked away in chains in the pit in the millennium, and that would happen if ONLY the Christians had worked to establish God's kingdom on earth now, instead of opposing a Christian nation by law, or doing NOTHING to help instead of endless delays of the mindset "manana, manana…" By the hand of Christians opposing King Jesus and a Christian Nation by law, the devil cannot be imprisoned so peace, prosperity and blessings may be upon the land of America. The government must repent of rejecting King Jesus in order to have a "millennium" of blessings, prosperity and life more abundantly.
Without the government repenting and the Christians repenting of their lack of effective actions to "fight the good fight of faith" and "taking over the government" of the USA by making it a Christian nation by Constitutional Law, King Jesus will continue to fight the nation and chastise the Christians and punish the USA as ancient Israel was punished and eventually destroyed…
The Holy Spirit says the USA will continue to exist under the rule of its enemies in the United Nations World Government "for CENTURIES, unless the Christians repent of opposing King Jesus in government and in the schools!"
God and Jesus spoke more on the Kingdom of God than any other subject in His three and a half years ministry, including after His resurrection for forty days. To deny God and Jesus, who now completely rules the earth, is the sin of rebellion of treason.
Christians need to have a righteous desire for America to repent and the church "pastors/angels" to repent of the sins of apathy and rebellion, as it was God's desire then for the churches in the Book of Revelation to repent of opposing King Jesus in their churches two thousand years ago. God is "Always the Same!" Just as King Jesus removed God's Light, "the lamp-stands," of the churches two thousand years ago, so today God is removing His light and Truth from government and schools of America and removing Himself from some churches as God never changes, "God is Always the Same."
Churches today must repent of appeasing the "spirit of the world," and repent of making the traitorous statement of "Caesar is Lord" equivalents of Pres. Rep. Lyndon Johnson's 501C3 and other church tax exemptions to bribe them to be traitors to King Jesus in government and stay out of "mixing politics and religion." By sinning against King Jesus in politics and giving government, by default, to God's enemies, Christians are giving authority to the devil to rule and ruin the nation and part of their churches in some cases…
The children, the nation and the future are now lost by Christians opposing the Kingdom of God from being established in one's spirit and soul and expressed at the ballot box as King Jesus and His Holy Spirit lead you to establish His Kingdom on earth according to your conscience. To leave areas of your heart in government of the nation to the gods of the religion of civil government, is great sin against King Jesus...
Jesus said He would be coming in His Kingdom a few days later after the cross when He ate and drank with His disciples again, which He actually did on several occasions. Jesus said "either you are for Me or against Me" and He literally put Jerusalem and the Jews to death and destruction for their rebellion and the same fate may be coming for the America Christians who are in rebellion to King Jesus in government and schools over the coming centuries.
God and King Jesus continues to act according to His Word and Name, "Either you are for Me or Against Me," in politics and in religion.
1Corinthians 4:8
"Would that you did reign, so that we might share the rule with you!" It is God's desire for us to overcome sin and exercise our duty to God and the nation as "Kings and Priests" by entering into His presence by praying always so that we may rule and reign with King Jesus according to His will…
Revelation 2:26 "The one who conquers [who is holy as God is Holy] and who keeps my works [believing on Christ who was and is sent to us] until the end, to him I will give authority over the nations, 27 and he [today's saints who are living today] will rule them with a rod of iron, as when earthen pots are broken in pieces, even as I myself have received authority from my Father."
It is the will of King Jesus that saints and Christians today learn to conquer sin in our lives and keep the works of faith of Christ and rule the nations with a rod of iron in the Right Hand of God according to the will of God. Amen
Grace, Blessings, and Love Always in Jesus.
