The Bible: The Mind of Christ, synopsized.
Believe It, Become Love Evangelized.

Summarizing life’s complexity:
Life, Internship for Eternity.
(L.I.F.E.)
It reveals God’s plan very clearly,
To reverse our sin calamity.
To restore righteousness on Earth, sustainably,
He gives 4 Delegations of Authority. (DOA)
The 1st He gave to a couple, the 2nd a people, 1
The 3rd to people-selective, with coverage global. 2
The 4th will be conclusive, by all soon be received. 3
Let’s continue to peel it open and try to perceive.

Let’s continue to peel it open and try to perceive.
All groups that received His authority delegations,
Started well, then stubbed their toes in their implementation.
Through these DOAs, there’s one thread The Bible ascertains:
Each brings us a step closer to Christ’s Millennial Reign.
While DOAs 2 and 3 were clearly so segregating,
God’s 4th DOA will be to all, and ALL encompassing:
First to an immortal remnant who will reign with Him,
Then to all those, dead or alive, who rejected Him.
DOA #4 (Continued)
For a thousand years, under Jesus Christ’s proclamation,
Mortals and immortals will comprise Earth’s population.
Mortals who will survive God’s longest, most harsh judgments,
Will live out their lives under Christ’s Iron Rod pronouncements! 4
If you think mortals and immortals will get along well,
Wake up! Read The Word. Learn the full story it has to tell.
If you think by a monarch’s rule, they will be awed,
Think. What does it mean to be ruled by an iron rod?
If you think you will be in Heaven during all this time,
Wake up! Read The Word. In Earth we’ll be, not Heaven, sublime.
For Gentile immortals serving under Christ’s authority,
We’ll be scattered across Earth,
not playing harps in Heaven endlessly. 5
not playing harps in Heaven endlessly. 5
For a thousand years devils will be in abeyance, 6
But with these survivors, will there be much difference?!
We ruling immortals will have our lordship assignments, 7
That will be closely aligned with our life’s accomplishments. 8
The core aspects of our millennial commission,
May be summarized in our lordship Job Description.
Let’s ponder what that description might encompass.
I suspect it will be work, not be effortless.
Imagine the first task from-Christ-to-us that will unfurl,
May be, ‘Rehabilitate the post-tribulation world!’
If about the tribulation you might not have a clue,
Then learn about damages that across Earth will accrue. 9
As you ponder, stay tuned as next time I will share,
Insights about which many may be unaware.
My prayer is that you will now reinforce what you have learned,
And your life be focused on that with which Christ is concerned.
Stay tuned!

4 Immortal saints will be from the first resurrection plus those martyred during the great tribulation. Mortals will be survivors of the great tribulation (with the mark of the beast) plus their offspring
5 Exodus 19:6 may give a clue where immortal Jewish saints might be during this time. NB: Jesus, King of Kings over all Earth will be based in a physically elevated Jerusalem, not in the surviving Gentile world. (The rest of Israel will then be a plain.)

7 Our mansion, which essentially means our assigned Kingdom roles and responsibilities as members in a royal house, e.g., the ‘House of Saud’ in Saudi Arabia. See: Luke 19:11-27
8 While eternal salvation in Jesus Christ is the free gift of God, His rewards will be based on our performance of good works He assigns/inspires to expand His Kingdom on Earth in our mortal lifetime. This is iteratively affirmed in Matthew 6, 16:26, Luke 6:23, 35, 1 Corinthians 3:8, Colossians 3:24, 2 John 1:8, Revelation 11:18 and 22: 12-13
