Global Democracy is not the Promised Land, Paradise Comes through Jesus Christ

Hebrews 4:1-8

• Humans Cannot Bring about the Promised Land.
• Entering God’s Paradise is by Faith in Jesus Christ.
• God Has Rested from His Work of Creation.
• Today is the Day to Open Our Heart to God.

Humans Cannot Bring about the Promised Land.

“For if Joshua had given them rest,
then He would not afterward have spoken of another day.”
Hebrews 4:8

Joshua led the Israelites into the promised land, but that earthly territory isn’t the promised land that God has for us. Today, leaders from every nation around the world are promising a global partnership, a promised land built with human hands. That “global democracy” is not going to provide the world with rest, peace, or any other such promises falsely made. What they are building is rooted in the mark of the beast clothed in humanism. The sun’s intense heat, known as “global warming,” is instrumental is destroying this present world government, rest is not found on this earth. There is another day coming, and that is the promised land of the New Jerusalem in the paradise of God, which comes through Jesus Christ.

Entering God’s Paradise is by Faith in Jesus Christ.
The proponents of an earthly promised land are hearing and repeating all the right words to describe their hopes. What they hear and repeat are words of love, support, equity, democracy, peace, global family, etc. but they are not mixed with faith in God through Jesus Christ. As it is written, the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it.” They build their promised land with faith in human rationale and discard faith in the Gospel of Christ. Humanism is the clothing worn by those who live for the mark of the beast.

The promise of entering God’s rest in the eternal New Jerusalem is in us through the Holy Spirit by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. “You were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the down payment of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.” Ephesians 1:13 If we allow the thing that has power over physiology to use us as its seat of government, we lose the inheritance of eternal life, “let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it.“

“Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, 
let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it. 
For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them;
but the word which they heard did not profit them, 
not being mixed with faith in those who heard it.”
Hebrews 4:1-2

God Has Rested from His Work of Creation.
There will be no rest in this world for those who reject Jesus Christ while trying to create the utopia of a “global democracy.” The universe that God has created is-what-it-is and there is no repairing it since sin entered into the world, “So, I swore in My wrath, ‘they will not enter My rest,’” although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.” Rest comes for Believers, through Jesus Christ, and our inheritance is the new heaven and new earth for the eternal New Jerusalem, “For we who have believed do enter that rest.”

God’s work of creation has been finished from the very beginning of our existence and trying to improve it for a better habitat for humanity is not going to happen. “And God rested on the seventh day from all His works”; and again in this place: “They will not enter My rest.” Those who live by the ideals of humanism, empowered by the mark of the beast, will find no rest in establishing a global constitution. Jesus Christ invites us, “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28

“For we who have believed do enter that rest, as He has said:
“So, I swore in My wrath, ‘they will not enter My rest,’”
although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. 
For He has spoken in a certain place of the seventh day in this way: 
“And God rested on the seventh day from all His works”; and again in this place: 
“They will not enter My rest.”
Hebrews 4:3-5

Today is the Day to Open Our Heart to God.
God’s voice is not heard coming through those who are trying to establish the promised land on this earth. That’s because they have surrendered their thoughts, emotions, feelings, and behaviors to the thing that has power over physiology. Their body has become the seat of government for the mark of the beast. They are rebellious against God and need to enter into the rest of God by acknowledging their body to be the temple of the Holy Spirit, “Since therefore it remains that some must enter it, and those to whom it was first preached did not enter because of disobedience.”

Today is the day to soften our heart to God’s voice, to live for the eternal hope given to us through Jesus Christ, “Today, if you will hear His voice, do not harden your hearts.”

“Since therefore it remains that some must enter it,
and those to whom it was first preached did not enter because of disobedience, 
again He designates a certain day, saying in David, 
“Today,” after such a long time, as it has been said:
“Today, if you will hear His voice, do not harden your hearts.”
Hebrews 4:6-7

“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,“
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
Revelation 2:24-25, 3:11
