Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too much,
- 0:04Speaker 1: because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy for
- 0:08Speaker 1: today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect yesterday's
- 0:12Speaker 1: portion of heavenly manna, the word of God to keep
- 0:15Speaker 1: us through today's challenges. On this program, we are going
- 0:19Speaker 1: to change all of that. Let's experience God's words today
- 0:23Speaker 1: and receive the power we need to live healthy, vibrant lives.
- 0:28Speaker 1: Welcome to Your Daily Portion with your host, author speaker,
- 0:32Speaker 1: Elle David Harris.
- 0:33Speaker 2: Good morning, good morning, Good morning, it is Tuesday. It's
- 0:35Speaker 2: May twenty seven, twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is
- 0:40Speaker 2: El David Harris. I am your host, and this is
- 0:42Speaker 2: your Daily Portion where we give you God's word every
- 0:45Speaker 2: single day, and today is no exception. We are continuing
- 0:49Speaker 2: in our lesson study series how to study Bible Prophecy,
- 0:53Speaker 2: and our caption for today is under his Feet, Under
- 1:00Speaker 2: his Feet. We'll get into that in just a moment,
- 1:02Speaker 2: but first i'd like to say welcome to you and
- 1:04Speaker 2: ask you to go over to your Daily Portion dot com.

- 1:15Speaker 2: at your Daily Portion dot com This is one of
- 1:19Speaker 2: the ways that we continue to build faith and fellowship.
- 1:24Speaker 2: Let's go ahead and pray, and then we will get underway. Father,
- 1:28Speaker 2: we do thank you for giving us the privilege of
- 1:30Speaker 2: opening up your word and for us to be able
- 1:34Speaker 2: to live in eternity with you one day. Please help
- 1:38Speaker 2: us to look forward to the day and live according
- 1:41Speaker 2: to your principles. In Jesus' name, I pray, Amen and
- 1:46Speaker 2: amen again under his feet. So let me just start
- 1:51Speaker 2: out by saying that all nations should shout. When I
- 1:55Speaker 2: say shout, I mean rejoice. All nations should rejoice and
- 1:59Speaker 2: be glad when God gets what he desires. What is
- 2:04Speaker 2: it that he desires? He wants for his people to
- 2:08Speaker 2: live in victory. So everybody should be shouting like every nation,
- 2:13Speaker 2: every person in every nation, kindred tongue, tribe, in people
- 2:17Speaker 2: should be excited if God and when God gets what
- 2:20Speaker 2: he wants for his people to live victoriously. Now let
- 2:25Speaker 2: me read from the lesson writer and give a little
- 2:27Speaker 2: bit more context. Long term, the future is bright. But
- 2:32Speaker 2: until then, humanity ceded dominion over the planet to the devil,
- 2:40Speaker 2: He said Lucifer. But really and truly he wasn't Lucifer anymore,
- 2:43Speaker 2: it was the devil. And by the time Satan appeared
- 2:47Speaker 2: at the Heavenly Council in the Book of Job, he
- 2:50Speaker 2: boasted that this earth belonged to him. So God said,
- 2:55Speaker 2: where you're coming from? And of course the devil with
- 2:58Speaker 2: his bosy big teches yourself, said, I'm coming from going down,
- 3:03Speaker 2: up and down into and fro in the earth like
- 3:05Speaker 2: I'm doing whatever I want to do. What am I?
- 3:08Speaker 2: Where am I? I'm coming from the earth that I
- 3:10Speaker 2: run like I rule. And so Satan is declaring ownership.
- 3:14Speaker 2: That's the way that he saw it. He's declaring ownership.
- 3:17Speaker 2: The foot was used in antiquity to represent ownership. Hopefully
- 3:24Speaker 2: we can get back to that in a second. Okay,
- 3:27Speaker 2: In antiquity, the foot was used to represent ownership. The
- 3:34Speaker 2: Bible says here in Genesis, chapter thirteen and verse seventeen, Arise,
- 3:38Speaker 2: walk through the length and breadth of the land. God
- 3:42Speaker 2: instructed Abraham, for I will give it to you. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 3:51Speaker 2: somebody's getting it now. Somebody's getting it now. Let's go
- 3:53Speaker 2: ahead and begin now with Psalms chapter forty seven, and
- 3:57Speaker 2: I will read verses one through four. Oh, clap, your hands,
- 4:00Speaker 2: all ye people, shout unto God with the voice of triumph.
- 4:06Speaker 2: For the Lord Most High is terrible. He is a
- 4:09Speaker 2: great king over all the earth. He shall subdue the
- 4:13Speaker 2: people under us and the nations under our feet. He
- 4:18Speaker 2: shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob,
- 4:25Speaker 2: whom he loved. Let me read it another way, All
- 4:29Speaker 2: you nations, clap your hands, shout out to God in celebration.
- 4:33Speaker 2: For the Lord most High is awe inspiring. He is
- 4:37Speaker 2: the great king who rules the whole earth. He subdued
- 4:42Speaker 2: nations beneath us and countries under our feet. He picked up.
- 4:47Speaker 2: He picked out for us a special land to be
- 4:51Speaker 2: a source of pride for Jacob, whom he loves. And
- 4:55Speaker 2: so the question is, what does this say about our
- 4:59Speaker 2: place in Christ's kingdom? What does this say about our
- 5:04Speaker 2: place in Christ's kingdom? It says that we belong to God,
- 5:09Speaker 2: We belong to God, and we belong in a victorious kingdom.
- 5:13Speaker 2: Why because we belong to God, We belong to God,
- 5:17Speaker 2: we belong in a victorious kingdom. Why because we belong
- 5:21Speaker 2: to God. Verse one shows celebration and not fear. We
- 5:25Speaker 2: are not spectators. We are participating actively in God's triumph,
- 5:31Speaker 2: And I'm thinking that you should be saying praise the Lord.
- 5:34Speaker 2: And then Christ reigns over all the Earth. Verse two
- 5:37Speaker 2: reveals that the universal rule goes to God. He is
- 5:42Speaker 2: the universal ruler. There are no borders in his final kingdom,
- 5:47Speaker 2: only his authority and peace. This is why I said
- 5:51Speaker 2: the nation should be grateful and thankful and shouting in
- 5:55Speaker 2: joy and triumph. When God gets what he desires, What
- 5:58Speaker 2: does he desire for us? Peace? People to be victorious
- 6:01Speaker 2: in all ways? And then of course we share as
- 6:04Speaker 2: I said a moment ago in his victory. Verse three
- 6:07Speaker 2: says that God subdues nations under us, meaning the faithful
- 6:12Speaker 2: will reign with Christ. According to Revelation chapter twenty and
- 6:17Speaker 2: verse four. Right now, sometimes we see the iron fist
- 6:20Speaker 2: of dictatorial rule from some humans on planet Earth. Yet
- 6:25Speaker 2: there are some people who are supposed to be representing
- 6:27Speaker 2: God by virtue of their positions magistrates, kings, judges, other
- 6:34Speaker 2: kinds of rulers, presidents, prime ministers, governors, general, and others.
- 6:39Speaker 2: Some of these people in certain parts of the world
- 6:43Speaker 2: are using the responsibility that God gave them for their
- 6:49Speaker 2: own purposes, and in that case, they're not representing God.
- 6:52Speaker 2: So when God ultimately re takes back rule in the
- 6:57Speaker 2: fullest of senses, then the entire universe will rejoice. And
- 7:02Speaker 2: of course, in verse four, the Bible says that God
- 7:06Speaker 2: chooses our inheritance. He's the one that chooses our inheritance.
- 7:10Speaker 2: We're not like the boy who told his daddy in
- 7:12Speaker 2: the Book of John, give me what is doue me
- 7:16Speaker 2: the prodigal son. No, we accept the inheritance God gives
- 7:20Speaker 2: us because as he promised, Jesus himself promised in John
- 7:24Speaker 2: chapter fourteen, He's going to prepare a place for us.
- 7:29Speaker 2: And when he goes and prepares that place for us,
- 7:32Speaker 2: he will come again and receive us unto himself. And
- 7:36Speaker 2: guess what wherever our feet are, that is our inheritance.
- 7:41Speaker 2: Now we rush quickly to this side by side comparison
- 7:46Speaker 2: of first Thessalonians chapter four, Verses thirteen and to seventeen
- 7:51Speaker 2: and Zechariah chapter fourteen. Now the Bible reads that the
- 7:55Speaker 2: Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, and
- 7:59Speaker 2: that the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we
- 8:03Speaker 2: which are alive and remain, will be caught up together
- 8:08Speaker 2: with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in
- 8:11Speaker 2: the air. This is what the Bible teaches in the
- 8:14Speaker 2: Thessalonian's text. Now, it means that at this event, and
- 8:18Speaker 2: it's going to be a big one commonly understood, and
- 8:22Speaker 2: that's the way we need to understand it. As the
- 8:25Speaker 2: second coming of Jesus Christ. Jesus does not yet touch
- 8:29Speaker 2: the earth. He does not let his feet touch the earth.
- 8:32Speaker 2: The redeemed will meet God in the air. Now, in
- 8:35Speaker 2: Zachariah chapter four, the Bible says that Jesus stands on
- 8:39Speaker 2: the Mount of Olives, and his feet shall stand in
- 8:42Speaker 2: that day upon the Mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem.
- 8:47Speaker 2: And so this describes the moment after the thousand years
- 8:51Speaker 2: are finished, post the second coming of Christ, where Jesus's
- 8:54Speaker 2: feet do touch the earth, especially at the point of
- 8:58Speaker 2: the Mount of Olives, causing it to this signals a visible,
- 9:02Speaker 2: physical and ultimate establishing of his authority on the earth. Well,
- 9:09Speaker 2: what are the differences. Well, when Jesus comes the second time,
- 9:13Speaker 2: he will come in the air. When Jesus comes the
- 9:16Speaker 2: third time, or after the thousand years are finished, Christ
- 9:19Speaker 2: stands on the earth, the believers will rise to meet
- 9:23Speaker 2: him at the second coming the third Coming, the Mount
- 9:26Speaker 2: of Olive splits under his feet. There is no contact
- 9:29Speaker 2: at the second Coming, but on the third coming, when
- 9:32Speaker 2: Jesus comes with his people in the New Jerusalem, then
- 9:36Speaker 2: the direct impact on geography and the nations becomes eternal.
- 9:42Speaker 2: The meek will inherit the earth. Peace.
- 9:45Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we cannot
- 9:48Speaker 1: live by bread alone, but by every word that comes
- 9:51Speaker 1: from the mouth of God. This has been your daily
- 9:54Speaker 1: portion with el David Harris, make it a great day. Yeah,
