Kingdoms of Man: Part Eleven (Phasing)

The flow of the maturation of the kingdom of man started with Adam, as a unit. It took a major step forward when the nation of Israel was presented to the world. Looking at it from the perspective of the time of Moses, one might be willing to practice some wistful nostalgia about the way the world would have been if we had stopped there; but that was only stage one. There were four more stages of development that were designed into the flow of the kingdom of man, with a fifth stage that would greatly enhance the kingdoms of man beyond anyone’s expectation.The four steps of the development of the kingdom of man, beyond the pattern of Israel’s status with God, are our lesson in the methodology of God, taking us from the exit from Eden, to the doors of heaven. The prophet Daniel received the honor of delivering the LORD’S lesson.

This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king.   Thou, O king, art a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory. And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou art this head of gold.And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee,

and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth.

   And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.

And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.

(Daniel 2:36-45)These four kingdoms were our homework, in the assignments of preparing the kingdom of man to receive the emissary of the LORD. Through each one of these homework assignments, we were being pushed more and more to a point of acknowledging that we need one another. The apostle Paul describes the destination….
