The Christian life is really about grasping two concepts: our adoption into God’s family.. and our purpose in God’s plan to restore his kingdom on earth. We are, and will be, God’s new divine council. "Saviors shall go up to Mount Zion to rule Mount Esau, and the kingdom shall be the Lord's"(Obadiah 1:21) Among our high privileges is to radiate, to give forth from the love passion of our souls the courage and strength to help other souls to come to God. And the business of the Church is to be a savior, or saviors. "Therefore hear the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing beside him on his right hand and on his left; (1 Kings 22:19). "The sentence is by the decree of the watchers, the decision by the word of the holy ones…" (Daniel 4:17). The three rebellions 1) The Fall (Gen 3) - the origination of both the heavenly and earthly rebellion into this world 2) The Fallen Sons of God (Gen 5). The Sons of God event has either been ignored or demythologized. 3) The Tower of Babel (Gen 11) "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord". (Romans 6:23)  When the Messiah came, He would solve all three of them – not just one. Jesus is the Solution to the Three Rebellions. "Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth.” (Genesis 11:4). It was always God’s plan for people to multiply and spread across the Earth. He commanded it of Adam (Gen 1:28) and restated it to Noah (Gen 9:1). Yet in Genesis 11:1-9 it is man’s refusal to scatter, and his plan instead to settle and establish his name over that of God, that results in God’s scattering of the nations. 'When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance, when he divided mankind, he fixed the borders of the peoples according to the number of the sons of God.' (Deuteronomy 32:8. )The notion that different nations were allotted to different gods or heavenly beings was widespread in the ancient world. "After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them two by two ahead of him to every town and place where he was about to go" (Luke 10:1). "And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them..”(Matthew 28:18-19). Hebrew is also like English in that, as a rule, it does not tolerate the definite article to precede a proper personal name. I am not “The Chris” but “Chris.” "And the angel of the LORD said to him, “Why have you struck your donkey these three times? Behold, I have come out to oppose [ śāṭān ] you [lit., “I have come as a śāṭān ”] because your way is perverse before me.” (Num 22:32). Satan rose up against Israel and incited David to take a census of Israel. (1 Chronicles 21:1). Again the anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and he incited David against them, saying, “Go and take a census of Israel and Judah.” (2 Samuel 24:1). Not only are we like God in some way, but we are also like the divine beings of his council. Christian, you will be made divine, like one of God’s elohim children, like Jesus himself (1 John 3:1–3). The most common is glorification. Peter referred to it as becoming “partakers of the divine nature” “Unto all righteousness” (Matthew 3:15) becoming like Christ Himself, a demonstrator of the righteousness of the living God. That is Christianity, and that only is Christianity, for that was the consecration of the Christ himself. There is an ultimate note into the heart of the Christian. It is the note of conscious victory through Jesus Christ. The more our life is tuned to that note of conscious victory, the greater the victory that will be evidenced in our life.
