Part 3 – Full Reconciliation unto “The Heavenly Places” (Eph. 2:6)

This Article is part of a multi-part Study Series called Four Degrees of God’s Reconciliation of the Heaven and The Earth.

 In this fourth point we see that the faithful of the “body of Christ” will ultimately be fully Reconciledto “the heavenly places” soon after at the Rapture… to then ‘co-reign with Christ’ in the heavenly places.” Thus, we will replace Satan’s fallen, corrupted, heavenly host in those offices of rank and authority over “the heaven and the earth.”

The heavens are corrupted defiled:

Job 15:15 (KJV) Behold, he (the Lord) putteth no trust in his saints (angels); yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight.

One day the wrestling with Satan’s lie program will be over, but currently;

Ephesians 6:12 we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but

  • against principalities (Gk. arche, highest fallen angels of heaven),
  • against powers (Gk. exousia, heavenly fallen angelic authorities),
  • against the rulers (Gk. kosmokrator, Satanic chosen world rulers) of the darkness of this world (Gk. aion, this age),
  • against spiritual wickedness in ‘high places(in the corrupted “heavenly places” of angelic rank and authority in the 2nd heaven).

The fully reconciled Body of Christ will reign in “the heavenly places of ‘rank and authority over all.’

1 Corinthians 6:Know ye not that we shall judge angels?

Ephesians 2:6-7 And (He hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: 7 (so) That in the ages to come he might shew (forth) the exceeding Riches Of His Grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

Colossians 1:19-22 For it pleased the Father that in him (Jesus) should all fulness dwell; 20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to ‘Reconcile All Things’ unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things (of governmental rank and authority) in Earth, or things in Heaven. 21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled 22 In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his (the Father’s) sight:

2 Timothy 2:12 If we suffer, we shall also Reign With Him: if we deny him, he also will deny us (from us reigning):

2 Corinthians 5:1 (We shall reign forever) …  Eternal In The Heavens.”

Then also Israel will be fully Reconciled to God at Christ’s 2nd Coming, to then “co-reign with Him on the ‘earth.’

Rev. 5:10 hast made us (Israel) unto our God kings and priests: and we Shall Reign on the earth.  

Rev. 20:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection (of O.T. believers): on such the second death hath no power, but they (Israel) shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall Reign With Him a thousand years.

Some Gentiles will be saved out of the Tribulation “into life eternal” in the Kingdom due to their kindness to the Israelites during the Tribulation. Though, saved, these Gentiles were ignorant of the details of The Lord and His Kingdom, needing to learn. During the Millennial Kingdom on earth, the resurrected Jewish believers will lead many saved Kingdom Gentiles to a fuller knowledge their God and Savior.

Matthew 25:34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: Matthew 25:44-46 4Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? 45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. 46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

Zechariah 8:23 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; In those days (of the Kingdom on earth) it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations (Gentiles), even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you.
