Revelation 11:15 (KJV) And the seventh angel sounded; and there
were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world
are become [the kingdoms] of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he
shall reign for ever and ever.

The day will come when the Sons of God, subdue the Kingdoms, or
governmental structures of the world system. The Kingdoms of this
(fallen) world system, will come under the Lordship of our Lord
and King, the "seed", who gained entry to the world, through
Abraham's act of faith.

This "Kingdom of light" prevailing over the "Kingdoms of darkness"
must occur before the rapture of the saints, before the earth is
purged with fire and before Heaven comes down to earth.

The prophecy of Revelation, confirms the promise of God given to
Abraham. God's righteous people will rule the earth and fulfill
God's original intent for His people. (Genesis 1:26,28)

Righteous sons of God, will be ruling and reigning with Christ
Jesus the Lord, in the earth. Faith opened the way. Faith
empowers the takeover and faith pleases God, for faith will fulfill
His purpose.

Righteousness, carries the meaning of one being in right standing
before God, being justified from all wrong, to stand sin free as
one with His Holy Son.

Righteousness, is a free gift of God's grace, to as many as believe.
Righteousness is a grace gift of God, from God and to fulfill God's
purpose.

Galatians 3:15 Brothers, I am going to use a human illustration:
even a human covenant or contract, once it has been ratified, no
one can change it or annul it.
3:16 Now it was to Abraham that the promises were made, and to his
seed (offspring, issue), it does not say seeds, in the plural, but
in the singular, seed, speaking of that one person, the Anointed
Redeemer.

Messiah was the "seed" that faith produced, or opened the door for.
Messiah is the "seed" in each believer that produces the crop of
righteousness and the fruit (harvest) of the Spirit.

Seed must enter good ground, be watered and nourished to produce
a crop. "The Anointed One in you, is your hope of God's manifest
presence."

The Seed of God, when properly fed, will grow to produce Kingdom
of God reality in the earth, and possess the promise, of once again
owning the earth, which was given to Abraham.

What God wanted through Adam (Gen 1:26,28), He still wants. There
is no afterthought, or plan "B". Adam lost faith through reason.
Abraham defeated reason to walk in faith. (who against reasonable hope, hoped in God)

Abraham was awarded the promise, which would not be perfected in
all his seeds (offspring), but ultimately in the "one seed",
Messiah.

One seed, sewn into the earth, dying and again being raised up to
produce a harvest of sons of God. A new, righteous, species of
beings, the world had not seen, since before Adam's fall.

In John 12:24 this mystery of "the seed" is addressed and amplified
in an allegory presented by the "seed" Himself.

John 12:24 (New International Reader's Version) What I'm about to
tell you is true. Unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and
dies, it remains only one seed. But if it dies, it produces many
seeds.

John 12:24 (NIV) I tell you the truth, unless a kernal of wheat
falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But
if it dies, it produces many seeds.

John 12:24 (New Century Version) I tell you the truth, a grain of
wheat must fall to the ground and die to make many seeds. But if it
never dies, it remains only a single seed.

The law of seed time and harvest, requires that a seed must be sewn
(planted), in the earth, die, undergo change and break forth from
the earth, to produce a harvest. This is a type and shadow mystery.

The "seed" singular, spoken of to Abraham was the seed, our
Redeemer, that would be planted in burial, and spring forth in
resurrection, to produce an abundant crop of, seed of promise heirs
of God.

Just as God set in place a divine law of reproduction in Genesis 1:24
"let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind," not
its kind, the law of reproduction is a natural type and shadow of
the spiritual truth.

The seed, Messiah the Lord, was planted in the earth, to produce on
the earth a mighty harvest of spiritual twins. Of one seed, many
seeds.
