It's an open secret: a revolution is underway. Current governments and political systems are being undermined with a definite goal in mind: to create a single, worldwide governmental system. Here's the scoop:
"The LORD (YHWH) says to my (David's) Lord: 'Sit at My right hand Until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.' The LORD will stretch forth Your strong scepter from Zion, saying, 'Rule in the midst of Your enemies.' Your people will volunteer freely in the day of Your power; In holy array" (Psalm 110:1-3)
The concept and plan is really extraordinarily simple: Our Father and Creator has initiated a revolution to place all current authorities and enemies in subjection to His Son - David's Lord - Jesus the Christ, seated at God's right hand.
No other Old Testament passage is quoted as often in the New Testament as Psalm 110:1. Jesus spoke of it in discussion with the religious leaders of the day (Matthew 22:41-45). Peter the apostle referred to it on the day the church was born (Acts 2:34-35). This "open secret" is monumentally important.
Now, here's where it gets personally exciting: you and I will "volunteer freely" to serve in His government on the day when the plan comes to fruition, as we stand before Him "in holy array" (our new resurrection bodies). We get to freely participate with Jesus in ruling the world. He's got big plans for us!
This great "open secret", outlined in Psalm 110:1, adds an exciting dimension to our lives as we get out of the bed in the morning. As the new day stretches before us, we can be assured that our Father is active in weaving the details together to help prepare us for the important task of ruling the world with Jesus and returning it to perfection. We're not defined as factory workers, secretaries, electricians, business owners, students, and salespersons; we're government officials of the Age to Come. Every day we serve as the government in training and in waiting.
I've never harbored visions of greatness, but I do yearn for my life to really count for something important, as I'm sure you do too. Understanding "the big secret" of Psalm 110 is key to a life of purpose greater than anything we could possibly imagine.
Live humbly and confidently today as you are prepared for greatness in the plan of God.
