THE KINGDOMS’ CUBICAL DIMENSION. In the midst of so many unpleasant news cluttering the broadcasts, we can still find some good news which we should do well to consider. Luke 8: 1 came to pass, that Jesus was going by all cities and villages, preaching and announcing the Gospel of the Kingdom of God, and the twelve with him. Notice that Jesuss Ministry focused on promoting the Kingdom of God and its corresponding regime (the Gospel) in collaboration of His closest friends and followers. But it would be worthwhile to ask ourselves: What is a Kingdom and how is it formed? According to the Latin term regnum, is a territory or state where a King rules its subjects, a physical space with a regime or a set of laws that serve to regulate the conduct of those who are subject to that King. And when we talk about the Kingdom of God, we are referring to a new State of Affairs about which salvation and the will of God governs. And it was this Kingdom that the prophets of Israel announced, the same that was preached and established by Jesus Christ and which has been done incompletely and temporarily until today by the militant Church. Why incomplete and temporary? It is incomplete because it has not yet come to its maximum expression, as visualized by John the apostle and is temporary because is subject somewhat to earthly time, as it was Jesus himself during his first physical foray into this world. The most striking of all this is that John was showed the place where the Kingdom of God has full jurisdiction, even with all its dimensions. Rev. 21:9 And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will show thee the bride, the Lambs wife. 10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God…. Rev. 21:16 And the city is laid out as square, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal. Notice that, among other details, the city or territory where this fully established the Kingdom of God that is the new Jerusalem is located, has a definite form, it is square and being so then, his regime which is the Gospel and in short the Kingdom itself, have a quadrangular shape, in other words, a perfect cube. That means that they have four sides equal in size but at the same time different between them, four approaches, four directions, and four dimensions. And this is consistent with Jesus’ detailed way of proclaiming the Kingdom. Matt. 4:23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people. According to Matthew, the Lord Jesus specifically did four things: Teach doctrine, preach the Gospel, heal physical diseases and restore the weaknesses of his followers. Knowing and understanding the quadrangular manifestation of the Kingdom is vital to perform that which Christ entrusted the Church with. And the Apostle Paul confirms this in terms of the wisdom of God. Ephes. 3:10 so that the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known through the church to the rulers and the authorities in the heavenly places. According to the apostolic revelation, the Church this called to announce Gods wisdom in its various manifestations, as to submit to the Kingdom it is necessary to be wise, as Solomon warned. Prov. 1:7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge….. Now well, we must bear in mind that there will be opposition at the time of announcing the virtues of God, that there will be real conflicts during the exercise of our Ministry. But we should also not ignore that God for that reason, conferred us four forms of support to fulfill this noble task. Rev. 4:5 And out of the throne proceeded lightning and thundering and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. 6 And before the throne there was a sea of glass like crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind. 7 And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle. The apostle John could visualize the throne of the most high, flanked by four creatures with different appearances announcing the virtues of the One who can do all things. But why a lion, a bull, a man and an eagle? Maybe because they represent those attributes required for the work of the Ministry. See it in the following way: 1) To teach the doctrine of the Kingdom intelligence and knowledge is needed. And this was endowed to man when he was assigned to classify the rest of creation in a definitive way. Gen. 2: 19 And out of the ground Jehovah God formed every beast of the field, and every bird of the heavens; and brought them unto the man to see what he would call them: and whatsoever the man called every living creature, that was the name thereof. (2) In order to preach the Gospel with boldness, without losing the mood, will be helpful to use the strength that can only come from the heights of the sublime sphere inhabited by the Eagles. Isaiah 40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint (3) In order to heal all sorts of physical illness, the anointing of divine healing is required. Psalms 92:10 But you have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox. I am anointed with fresh oil. (4) In order to counteract the dualities of the soul, we need to have the feeling of security and emotional stability that only Lion of Judah, Jesus Christ can bequest. Prov. 28:1 The evil man goes running away when no man is after him, but the upright are without fear, like the lion God in his immense grace has given us all believers the appropriate privileges in the establishment of its sovereign Kingdom, and undoubtedly they are at our disposal and in place and time we need them. The Lord Jesus had ample reasons to instruct us as to how to pray, so that when we have to do it, with all assertion we raise our voices high asking: Our father who art in heaven, hallowed be your name, come your Kingdom, your will be done on Earth....
