Dr. Jones  09:23

Welcome to this live stream from Minneapolis, Minnesota. It's good to see a lot of you already on logged on saying hello. got people from all different uh a bunch of different countries

 

Dr. Jones  09:43

Australia, Northern Ireland, Malaysia and of course

 

Dr. Jones  09:53

Tasmania, which is a country all in itself, as they know

 

Dr. Jones  10:02

Oh, let's see. South Africa. Yeah, and even Norway, Michigan

 

Dr. Jones  10:19

Okay, well,

 

Dr. Jones  10:21

let's begin. We're going to have Bradley Tyler on as well. And he is on, you can probably see the initials J T, that would be John Tyler his dad. But we were unable, we're unable to get a visual on that. That's what our technical difficulties have been. For some reason, the lighting won't come through, and it looks like it looks like he is his identity is being hidden in the dark. So anyway, but we will be should be able to hear him. And and so that shouldn't be a problem. Anyway, today we're talking about Kingdom citizenship, what does it actually mean to be a citizen of the kingdom? And how does that work out in practice? I mean, what should we do? And how do we? How do we act as Kingdom citizens? Well, of course, that's a pretty broad topic, but got to start somewhere. So where's a good place to start, you all know?

 

Dr. Jones  11:34

Ah yes, Genesis one, one.

 

Dr. Jones  11:34

The Kingdom, when we talk about the kingdom, we're talking first of all, about everything that God created, which is defined essentially, in Genesis 1:1. In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth. Heaven in the earth is everything he created, and therefore it gives him creators creations or creative rights, the creators rights, which um, which are the basis of the kingdom, the natural law, which is built into the divine law, is that which you labor for you own your labor, God, labored to bring about creation, and therefore, therefore, he owns it, and therefore he's responsible for it, and therefore He will restore it all In the end. Whatever problems are there, ultimately, the buck stops here, as they say, God is responsible ultimately, for all things. Now we are we are responsible as well on our own level, and God does hold us accountable. But in the end, he holds himself accountable as well. And that's part of the the Divine Law of liability.

 

Dr. Jones  13:02

I don't know if any of you were watching last Sunday. Chris Reed over at Morningstar ministries, morningstar.tv.com. But he, he talked about the Divine Law of liability. And started in Genesis one went to all the scriptures that you're all familiar with. And so I thought that was very interesting. And he's doing a great job over there bringing people along fairly slowly. But it's very interesting to, to watch. So you can you can go look that up. Chris Reed is on YouTube as well.

 

Dr. Jones  13:45

So anyway,

 

Dr. Jones  13:50

Sunday mornings, I usually watch him. That's normally my church time, I guess, if you want to call it that. And he's doing a great job. I hear from him every so often, still. And so you know, he's a good friend.

 

Dr. Jones  14:09

Anyway. Getting back to the kingdom, the kingdom has also spirit, soul and body. Look at First Thessalonians 5:23. We read that Paul was praying that our whole spirit, soul and body would be preserved blameless. It's not just our spirit that he is praying for, and not even just our soul, but it's also the body. And so we have to, many people need to broaden their understanding of what the kingdom is and what God is interested in, in restoring because there are many people who follow the Greek view, that matter is evil and therefore is just going to go be eliminated in the end. But in fact, God says no, it's created very good. And if it's good, because it's it's part of ah, his ah, God's creative, artistic ability, if you will, then no matter what goes wrong, God has the ability to restore it. And so what we're seeing really is the development and to some extent, the the restoration of the kingdom, we know that the kingdom is everything he created, but that includes us. And so specifically with us, it is spirit, soul and body. And so that's an important concept.

 

Dr. Jones  15:38

 The next thing is, of course, God's intent. What was the intent for all of this, his intent is to restore all things in heaven, earth and under the earth. And we see this term under the earth, especially in Philippians, 2:10. In all things in heaven, earth, and under the earth, every knee will bow. And that is important, because at some point, God's word has to be fulfilled, if his word is not fulfilled, if his intent is not done, and somehow, he's not up to the job of being God.

 

Dr. Jones  16:19

And we know that's impossible.

 

Dr. Jones  16:21

But also, I noticed, actually, just this morning, the definition of under the earth, I mean, I actually looked that up, and I, you know, what exactly is this under the earth, you know, and so I found it in Deuteronomy 5:8. And it's repeated in Exodus 20, verse four, it defines under the earth as in the water. So basically, it's not referring to underground as if as if you were digging a well or something, it's actually under the sea, or you might say, "below sea level", is under the earth. And so that's kind of an interesting concept as well.

 

Dr. Jones  16:36

We won't get into that anymore, because that's really kind of outside of our scope here.

 

Dr. Jones  17:14

Anyway, the original mandate given to Adam was to have dominion to rule the earth, and to be fruitful and multiply, those two things are pretty basic in the Kingdom. The rule is to have authority, and to be fruitful is to exercise or to fulfill our responsibility, because of that authority. So you have these two things. And so it's, it's authority and responsibility, which always go in equal measures, has to go in equal measures, otherwise, you have problems.

 

Dr. Jones  17:54

Now, we ourselves, of course, are following Christ's example. We do what he do what he does. And so we adopt Christ purpose. Christ being the last Adam, His purpose is to do what Adam failed to do. And so when you study, the mandate given to Adam and the mandate given to Christ, what his intent is, when you compare the two, you can see that Adams job was to restore all things to put all things under the feet of or under his feet, but of course, he failed. And so Adam, or the last Adam, being Christ succeeds, where Adam fails.

 

Dr. Jones  18:39

Now, as citizens, we are called to, to implement the fruitfulness mandate, as his body, ultimately the fruitfulness mandate, is to bring forth fruit. On a surface level, of course, you might think of that as being a farmer, bringing forth the fruits of the ground and stuff like that. And that is certainly part of the part of the picture. But deeper, is ultimately bringing forth the sons of God. It's not just to create more people, you know, beget more people. It's if Adam had, had sinned, or if Adam had had children before, um, before he became mortal, he would have brought forth sons of God, just like him. Like begets like but because he begat children afterwards, he begat them in some image that is lesser than what you had originally.

 

Dr. Jones  19:50

But the original intent in Genesis 1:28 is to bring forth the sons of God. Well, that of course is a big topic that extends all the way through the scriptures. and and applies to everyone in history, including us today, how to how do we bring forth the sons of God? Well, there is the fleshly sons of men, dating back to Adam. It's what Paul calls the old man are the old self, the old identity, versus the new man, the new self, the new creation man. And each is begotten in a different way, one physically through our mortal forefathers. And then there is a second birthing, or really, it's a second begetting, by the Spirit, whereby we become sons of God. And so, John tells us in the first chapter, that we have the authority to be called the sons of God, or the children of God.

 

Dr. Jones  21:00

And so that, of course, is fulfilling this this fruitfulness mandate. And it is a big part of what it means to be a citizen of the kingdom, as the citizens of the kingdom are really the children of God. Or if you want to put it another way, relating it to faith. We are the children of Abraham, because we follow the pattern of Abraham and his faith. Now, many people don't really know what the faith of Abraham really is, they think, they think it's when man makes his decision to follow God and makes his vow and says all that the Lord has spoken, we will do and be obedient, According to Exodus 19, verse eight. But that's an old covenant. The old covenant cannot create the children of God, it just regulated regulates the flesh. It's not bad, we're just incapable of doing it, by the power of our own will, no matter how, how sincere that we are, no matter what our intent is. Unfortunately, this mortality thing, is a weakness that ultimately causes us to fail, we can only get so far in in that.

 

Dr. Jones  22:29

But the new covenant is God's vow to man, God states his intention, and what he is going to do, and he takes the responsibility for it. Because after all, whoever makes the vow is the one responsible to keep it. And so when God says, Okay, step aside, you flesh, you can't handle it. So I'm going to do this by my will. So it's not by not by power and might, but by my Spirit, or as John would put it, it's not it's not by, by the power of flesh, or the or bloodline, or the will of man, but of God, not by the will of man is by the will of God.

 

Dr. Jones  23:11

So we find this pattern throughout various portions of Scripture, which every time you're talking about New Covenant things, it's about a promise that God is making, where he puts his own name on the line. If he can't do it, then he's the one that's responsible. And perhaps we should look for another God if he can't do it. And so we see this in Romans 4:21, and 22, where the faith of Abraham is defined in terms of being fully persuaded that God is able to fulfill his promise. It's not about God, being fully persuaded that we will be able to fulfill our promise. And it's not about us being fully persuaded that we with the help of the Holy Spirit are going to be able to fulfill our promise. The Holy Spirit does help us. But I've found, I've never, I've never found a spirit filled person who actually was perfect yet. That's just the way it works. I don't think I'm any different from anyone else. So I look inside and I say, you know, I have this problem, too, is the problem that is common to all of us.

 

Dr. Jones  24:30

So if I attached my salvation to my will my decision, then it's going to fail. But if I attach my salvation to his will, and his promise and his ability, then we can't fail. It will always succeed in the end. And so, that's really the difference between old and new covenant faith. It depends on whose faith or who do you have faith in? Is your faith in your own ability which is really works and your own will? Or is your faith in God who is working within you, who is going to change you by His Spirit, and this is a work that He is doing in our lives.

 

Dr. Jones  25:15

Well, that has a big implication on, on our citizenship as well, because ultimately, citizens of the kingdom are citizens by faith. And if you don't have Abrahamic faith, then your faith well, your faith then is is going to fail at some point.

 

Dr. Jones  25:39

All right. So citizens of the kingdom are brought into it brought to birth or really, it's about being begotten by the Spirit. But this is really a function of the or a fulfillment of Genesis 1:28, which is the fruitfulness mandate. And so how the question then is, how do we be get our how are the sons of God begotten? and so it's tied there.

 

Dr. Jones  26:19

Now citizenship can also be lost. We see this in, in Leviticus 17, verses eight to 10. And perhaps I should read that because that's a little bit long. I don't want to quote it from memory.

 

Dr. Jones  26:39

Leviticus 17. It says,

 

Dr. Jones  26:47

These are part of the laws of of sacrifice, okay, which in which you through the new covenant, we relate to the sacrifice of Christ.

 

Dr. Jones  26:55

"Then you shall say to them, any man from the house of Israel, or from the aliens, who soldier and among them, who offers a burnt offering or sacrifice and does not bring it to the doorway of the tent of the meeting to offer it to the Lord, that man also shall be cut off from among his people."

 

Dr. Jones  27:14

In other words, exiled, he loses his citizenship status in the tribe that he was that he was and the nation that he was living in.

 

Dr. Jones  27:25

"And any man from the house of Israel or from aliens, who a soldier and among them, who eats any blood, I will set my face against that person who eats blood and will cut him off from among his people."

 

Dr. Jones  27:39

I should read the next verse to for the life of the flesh, literally, the soul of the flesh, the word life is the word nefesh, which is the word for soul. And you can either read it as the soul of the flesh or the fleshly, soul. Fleshly soul is in the blood, I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls. Or it is the blood by reason of the soul that makes atonement.

 

Dr. Jones  28:10

And so, our point here without getting into a full blown study on that passage, is, is to show that you, people, those Israelites could lose their citizenship in the tribe. But it was it was primarily based, at least in this verse, it was based upon what they did with the blood of the sacrifice. We can translate that in New Testament terms of what do you do with the sacrifice and the blood of Jesus Christ? If you don't bring the blood into the place where he has put his name, so that it can be offered on the proper altar, then the animal that you've killed is just an animal that you've killed. It, it is not, it does not apply to putting the blood of Christ upon the altar of your heart. Essentially, that's what it's talking about. The the blood of Christ is sprinkled upon our hearts which is the altar of God in each one of us. And if that is not done, then you are not an Israelite, you are not a Judahite. You've lost your position within one of the tribes of Israel, or by extension, the kingdom.

 

Dr. Jones  29:42

I hope that makes sense.

 

Dr. Jones  29:45

On the other hand, there is also provision as you notice, even in here, it's not just Israelites, it's also the aliens among them, who sojourn among them and So this is brought forth in a much greater way in Isaiah 56.

 

Dr. Jones  30:13

Isaiah 56. Let's see, we'll read verses six through eight.

 

Dr. Jones  30:19

"Also the foreigners who join themselves to the Lord, to minister to him and to love the name of the Lord, to be His servants, everyone who keeps from profaning, the Sabbath and holds fast my covenant, even those I will bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be acceptable on my altar, for my house will be called a house of prayer for all the peoples."

 

Dr. Jones  30:46

And they're, of course, he's quoting from Solomon's prayer of dedication, when He dedicated the temple in Jerusalem, that it was to be a house of prayer for all people.

 

Dr. Jones  30:58

"The Lord God who gathers the dispersed of Israel declares, yet others I will gather to them to those already gathered."

 

Dr. Jones  31:07

So, so the Prophet shows us that, that it's not just biological Israelites, who are Israelites, or who are part of this kingdom, it is also others who come in by the same faith. Faith is is is the one requirement that is common to all. And it is the it is the the way that we become citizens of the kingdom. And so it's not an exclusive, even though God started with the Israelites. But even then, even when he started with the Israelites, under Moses, you'll notice that there were many aliens, many Egyptians and many of others, I'm sure, who came out with them. And there was, you know, they were into integrated eventually into the tribes. So they were no longer Egyptians, they changed their citizenship from being from having an Egyptian passport, to an Israelite passport. And there was no 13th 13th tribe of Egyptians in the land of Canaan. They were they were integrated into the tribes. And so it has always been this way. To be an Israelite is not simply a biological matter. There were many biological Israelites, of course, but but it's really about national citizenship, as opposed to racial biology, per se.

 

Dr. Jones  32:49

Now, one final thing.

 

Dr. Jones  32:54

There is a there was a an Old Covenant citizenship ceremony. That was essentially Well, it was physical circumcision, under the Old Covenant. That is what that was the the ceremony. Now, under the New Covenant, it's really shifted to something called baptism. It's actually heart circumcision, as well. But baptism is is like an outward ceremony that expresses one's faith in Christ. We are not justified by baptism. We are justified and then baptized as a witness public witness of our faith, of our justification. And you can see this very clearly in the two step process when Israel came out of Egypt at Passover. That was their Passover experience of faith in the blood of the Lamb. This is the by extension, it's about going from the old man to the new man, Crucifying the flesh of the old man and putting on the identity, the new identity of the new man. And then when Israel was baptized at the Red Sea, that was, that was another step that did not take place at the same time as Passover. So so we see from the example of Israel in the wilderness, how your justification and I guess you can say your sanctification, or citizenship actually worked. It also you also moved from death to life in that Because baptism is is really the secondary step that signifies life. We usually think of it in terms of death, and death is involved in it, but but the focus is on life.

 

Dr. Jones  34:58

Passover focuses On Death, the Red Sea focuses on life, because you're moving from death to life, in baptism, so, I, in my view, I think that it's quite possible that in, in the in the years to come, when we see the manifestation of the kingdom and, and it is organized begins to be organized in actual territory with actual citizens of the kingdom. I don't know how long that'll take. But in my view, if people want to become citizens of the kingdom, they will be questioned as to their faith in the king. And, and if they have Abrahamic faith, then the citizenship ceremony will be that of baptism.

 

Dr. Jones  35:51

That's just my my view on that.

 

Dr. Jones  35:57

Now, in Romans 2:28, and 29, Paul makes the point that fleshly circumcision doesn't make the grade. You have to have the circumcision of the heart to even be a citizen of Judah. Okay, who is a Jew? And who is not a Jew? That's Paul's question. And he defines both being a Jew or a really a citizen, that is not cut off from the house of Judah, with Christ as the king. To be one requires circumcision of the heart, not circumcision of the flesh. And, and so he says that their praise is of God and not of men. And that's a play on words. Because Judah means praise. So really, he's saying that their citizenship in Judah depends, ah depends upon what God does not, not what man does, doesn't depend on the flesh. fleshly circumcision, the will of man fleshly circumcision does nothing to change the heart, or does very little anyway. But it's the it's the heart circumcision, which even Moses talked about heart circumcision. That is the important thing.

 

Dr. Jones  37:34

We need to understand that heart circumcision was something that that Moses talked about, and circumcising our ears as well. Moses talks a lot about the the new covenant, and especially when you get into Deuteronomy 29, where he actually established the New Covenant 40 years after the Old Covenant. And he related it directly to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, which of course, even preceded Moses, by centuries.

 

Dr. Jones  38:02

The new covenant was was established before the Old Covenant, strangely enough, because it was established from the beginning, we see it established long before, long before Exodus 19.

 

Dr. Jones  38:18

And so Paul makes the point even in Galatians, three, that the the Old Covenant could not disannul the promises of God that were made to Abraham, under the New Covenant, because the New Covenant came first. Therefore, it takes precedence in a legal sense.

 

Dr. Jones  38:42

Anyway, this is this is all I have for for an introduction to citizenship in the kingdom. And so I'll turn it over here to to Bradley, who's coming to us from South Africa, Johannesburg, and see if he has some thoughts to add to all of this?

 

Bradley  39:11

Thank you, Dr. Jones. It's an incredible privilege to be here with you all around the world. So I want to start by saluting you Dr. Jones, and your team, you have become a very pivotal remnant in this earth. I have heard personally of the many trials and tribulations that, that has taken. But you have given us the opportunity to be able to say, we will not perish for a lack of knowledge. We will not perish for a lack of revelation or misunderstanding. And I want to pay tribute to you for that because that is a terrible blight when revelation understanding and wisdom is not being made available to people. And then Dr. Jones and the Kingdom of God Ministries, we have a very faithful continuous stream of revelation that has very specific updates that converge from history into now. And I want to honor you for that sir. And I think that around the earth, there are going to be multiplications of the blessings of this blog.

 

Bradley  40:37

I would like to start by speaking about something that God has been really dealing with, ah teaching me very specifically about in this present age, I was speaking to him and he was talking to me about the citizenship of being a kingdom soon. And the word offense is where I'd like to start. Offense begins at something small, and it starts to grow. And that goes from there. To a toxic state. You see it either coming as anger maybe sarcasm, envy, it becomes very cynical. And then from there, something is birthed. And it's this foul, toxic stench that can be likened to an animal that has been dying left in the sun for days. And that stench is called entitlement. "I am entitled too because I have the right to because it is mine."

 

Bradley  41:58

And that stream from offense to entitlements has been one of the foundations, major foundations for which woke and anti-culture are thriving. And as citizens of this kingdom, we have got to be very, very alert, to staying away from offense and to not taking offense personally. It very, very seriously implicates your capacity to be joined into your brethren and specifically to your God. Let it be said at this time, we are not going on a campaign trail for God. Contrary to popular belief, God does not need the permission of his creation to be God. As you mentioned earlier, Dr. Jones, he is the King of kings and not the presidents of presidents.

 

Bradley  43:04

You were speaking earlier about Paul in Romans chapter two, and he was speaking again in Romans chapter three, and he said, "for all have sinned," past tense, "and are", present tense, "fallen short of the glory of God." Sinning and falling short of God's glory are not the same thing. It is a very, very big distinction to make. I have sinned past tense means that God has dealt with sin. He is now majorly focused, his primary focus is about the glory of God, the glory of God is perhaps the pinnacle focal point of being a kingdom citizen.

 

Bradley  44:00

And it's the subtle discernments because if you were to broadly put into a very big bandwidth sin, sin can be likened to perhaps blame. And so much of the world that we're living in has just become a blame phenomenon. We are in a period of time where there is a massive leadership vacuum. People are interested in getting jobs, specifically retaining their jobs and the perks of their jobs rather than actually doing those jobs. And what they doing to do that is saying this is what you must be afraid of. And this is who you must blame for it. And in those those progressions they're not giving any opportunity for the glory of God, blame, blame, blame does not equal God's glory.

 

Bradley  45:07

So we we are possessing this promised land to us, but it is the Earth, the Kingdom of God is in the earth. And there are many ways that, that God is is ministering to the Earth at the moment. But Jesus said, The kingdom of God is like a man who sowed a seed. And then he goes on to speak about four different scenarios, I just want to focus on the fact that he he likened the entire kingdom to a seed.

 

Bradley  45:48

In the day and age, seed is, is perhaps one of the most fiercely contested things in all the universe. It can be literal seed that produces fruit as harvest, it can be seed likened to intellectual property, people have gone out of their way, very violently to withhold seed, they are trying to create artificial seed. And so stewardship of seed at this time is absolutely pivotal.

 

Bradley  46:25

We are seeing, in many instances in countries around the world where people are consuming their seed before there's any time or opportunity to become fruitful. And that is not acceptable. This kingdom needs the fruit. And it needs as citizens to make sure of that. And you know, one of the focal ways of doing that, and it might appear as a very slight distinction, but it is so pivotal to us when we say God, would you give me the privilege of being a part of what you do? Rather than saying, God, can you come and be a part of what I am doing.

 

Bradley  47:19

And in that distinction, you find truth, the Bible says you shall know truth, and it shall set you free.

 

Bradley  47:28

So truth is also very different to maybe an amalgamation of very accurate facts. God is incapable of lying, he doesn't bring accurate facts to the authority of truth. So quite literally, because God is a very neutral person. If God was sitting, looking at a chair, and said, That's a motorcar, it would literally become that because he cannot lie. And his word cannot be contested the authority of that. And when we are with God, His authority that's covering us, is not only setting us free, but it actually cannot be contested. And that is a, a major revelation.

 

Bradley  48:26

To be set free, and not under a yoke of slavery by simply asking the Lord, to align me to what you are doing. We have all become a part of a global body that I think extends to, I think it's past the 8 billion number now. But as individuals, we very much have distinct destinies and purposes that were given to us before the foundations on the earth. And they work in corresponding manner with the gifts that were given to us the anointings that were given to us. But those gifts and anointings are not our purpose and destiny. They are there to aid us. And there are many people in the world right now who have exhausted those anointings exhausted those gifts. And you're going to have to allow God to reveal more to you how those gifts must serve your purpose in this time. And it just starts again with revelation by saying Lord, can I be a part of what you're doing? Rather than come and join me in what I am doing?

 

Bradley  49:45

It's fascinating Dr. Jones, because you spoke about Genesis one we we roll over and If the very first commandment God gave was, let there be light, I think it's something that we we have not focused on seriously enough. This distinction between God's kingdom as light. And that is, that is not a guide as darkness is a very, very fundamental thing. So when God said, Let there be light, he was saying, Let there be Jesus the Christ. John chapter one says that in the beginning was the Word, the Word was God, the Word was with God. And through him, All things were made. And it's a very literal sense. He was also saying, literally, let there be light, light is, a fascinating phenomenon, and it's absolutely stunned me and the more I learn about it, that I just see how present God is how literally He is. The light actually exists in a package, if you will, and those are called photons. Those photons are not capable of actually forming any any kind of matter. Because it's simply, it's simply energy. But here's an amazing thing, because the only thing that can take light, concentrated and convert it into matter is gold. So if you took a lens piece of glass, and you're able to catch a ray of light, and focus it onto a piece of paper, for example, eventually, it would condense it into a flame.

 

Bradley  52:03

Now gold can do that, it can take an energy stream that occupies no matter and convert it into matter. And God awakened me to a very powerful revelation. It's very interesting that the people who were there at the at the birth of Christ were not priests, or prophets, pastors, senior elders in the church, they were astrologers.

 

Bradley  52:40

These were people who had followed light, that was their job.

 

Bradley  52:48

And of all the people that were capable of articulating the King of glory the most, were people who understood physical light. And that light had reached a point in time, because time can also be defined by light. When God literally pronounced, "Let there be light!"

 

Bradley  53:17

And I think it was, I'm just battling to remember. But if the 2021 or 2022 the Hubble telescope came across something that they weren't able to articulate it. It was something they didn't understand. And they started studying it for about three weeks, three weeks, I think. And they were able to understand that what they were looking at was light that had taken 17,000 years to reach a position where they were able to pick it up on their telescope. And a star had died, It was a supernova, the explosion of that had taken 17,000 years, but it literally manifested itself. And so these astrologers, these wise men, what we're capable of understanding that the glory of God literally exists in in a physical form, not just the spiritual, and that they combined so incredibly well. And it is no coincidence that they brought gold with them, this light was something that resonated so definitely with gold.

 

Bradley  54:39

You know, I have an amazing father. And we've been watching trends, geopolitical, economic, trade, science technology for the last few years and it's been a great sorrow to see just how far, people have distanced themselves from light.

 

Bradley  55:10

It's been amazing to see that the patterns of people's behavior is so much that they are placing all the responsibility and obligations upon themselves. And as Dr. Jones you were speaking about earlier, God is not going to not fulfill his responsibility. If you see Nebuchadnezzar, he had three very powerful encounters with Daniel, first of all, where Daniel was the only one capable of interpreting this mysterious dream we had had. He acknowledged that Daniels God, who is our God was the only God. But he didn't behave accordingly. He then threw Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego into a blazing fire, when they refuse to bow down to a statue of him. And when they didn't burn, and this miraculous event took place, he again acknowledged that their God was the God.

 

Bradley  56:25

But he continued to behave in this arrogance. I am this guy type manner. And Daniel, said to him, God's giving you a serious chance here to change your ways to be redeemed in your mindset. But it's gonna come at a great cost, because if you don't do it, you will become like an animal, and feast in the wild and live there for seven years. And he was prepared to accept God that you are God, but he was doing its not in a way that reflected a heart condition and an understanding and a mindset that this is all works, and that I am a part of it. I am not the whole thing. I am part of God's work and he came out, having lived for seven years as a wild creature.

 

Bradley  57:19

And still, he did not convey that message to his, his successor, his son. And that is when the Babylonian Empire fell.

 

Bradley  57:31

It's amazing to see that Jesus who is the Christ of God, He is the Anointed One, he is the head of this kingdom. He is this light. Daniels Daniel's vision was of a body. And he explained to Nebuchadnezzar, the Babylonian king, that he was the head, but that this was going to fall. What Daniel was saying was that if I was cut off your arm, as a human, you can still live, you are very limited now as you would be if I cut off your foot, or if I cut off, you know, your your tongue. And if you cut the head off, that's the end of everything. And so the Persians came after that, the Medes, the Greeks and Alexander the Great, and the funny the Romans, but what God was saying through Daniel was once this head, this Babylonian head has fallen. Already those, those empires have already fallen. They were just living on borrowed time.

 

Bradley  58:46

Now God has gotten to a position where he is literally saying, I am the head. I am the head of this, this empire, I am the head of this kingdom. And no matter what man tries, they will never be able to cut the head of their creator off. This kingdom shall have no end.

 

Bradley  59:13

And when God describes himself in different ways, and in different names, and he speaks about himself as being the creator, the Alpha and the Omega, the finisher He speaks about himself as being the God who is current present, the God who was, past tense, and the God who who will forever be, he is able to manipulate those circumstances through literal light. You know, if Jesus was and is still this light when he was dealing with the Pharisees and people of the law and people who are looking to harm him. They they came at him and he didn't call upon angels. He didn't rebuke them.

 

Bradley  59:58

It was a process, that was so extreme that he simply disappeared because he became that light. If, if, you know if it's traveling at 286,000 miles per second, that's not going to be something that you can catch. So he is this light and he is in our, in our midst.

 

Bradley  1:00:22

And if you will have been following Dr Jones's blog, he was speaking some time ago about a revelation that had been brought forth to us called the Melchizedek Vault.

 

Bradley  1:00:39

And we are seeing more and more how the dedication of that vault which has been filled by which has been filled with literal gold. Through a process of Jesus Christ the light, is giving us more and more authority. It's just the most fascinating thing to see that that vault is extending authority to the citizens of this kingdom, all over the world.

 

Bradley  1:01:08

And, you know, when God's people were in Egypt, they were separated, they were set aside into a land of Goshen where the afflictions that God was bringing those plagues he was bringing upon the Egyptians were not affecting them. They were acutely aware that those things are happening around them, but they will not be affected by them. And God is very capable, because he has the authority and he literally extends it to place around the Earth, these Goshen's, if you will, where we are separated, and his life can extend to us that authority, that that capacity to carry the responsibility of His glory.

 

Bradley  1:01:58

And whilst the rest of the world may be trying to do their own thing, we will still have dominion, we will still have authority because God is not a man that he should lie.

 

Bradley  1:02:15

And I think it would be the most incredible thing tonight as brethren around the world. If we could look at ourselves, take a look at where we stand and say, Lord, if if there's any offense in me, I don't want that to become something toxic, and eventually end up in an entitlement. Where I'm caught in a shackle, a prison of just blaming and trying to blast my way out, I want this freedom. I want to be under your banner, I want to be under your light. lines have been drawn in the sand by governments around the world by military. You've been speaking about it Dr. Jones. Very recently, we've seen the French saying they are now separating themselves basically from the American Federal Reserve and joining into the league with China. Something nobody would have ever considered. These lines are being drawn in the sand and you can see the work of man and his mind and that Nebuchadnezzar mindset of okay we prepared to acknowledge, but we're still going to stick to our way we train our thoughts in the way we're going to go. So, the union that we have, because this is phenomenal technology that we can link into around the world we can say today. It was it is with a heavy heart that we can see which options you are making, which choices you have decided upon.

 

Bradley  1:04:04

But we are going to serve the Lord. As for us, we will worship you God.

 

Bradley  1:04:18

And that is not an emotional sentiment, a frivolous statement. It is Lord, we recognize and see that you have authority and dominion, you have never been out of control. We want to engage in joining as heirs of salvation as the children of light and we will serve you. We will serve your standards.

 

Bradley  1:04:45

And we will accept this grace that you give to us whenever we slip and fell and we will not focus on this blame elements but we will become so much more orientated to focusing on your glory.

 

Bradley  1:05:03

And, you know, history is a great passion for me and I go through so much of it. But to be called to this time when when this new Babylon has fallen, and it is the privilege, a friend said, it's my obligation to serve God, it's a privilege to serve God. The distinction is huge. And my friend said that to me, just earlier today.

 

Bradley  1:05:38

Having studied so much history, I'm absolutely amazed that I have been given a privilege to be alive at this time. I don't think humans have experienced the capacity to be a part of the light, like we have right now. It's absolutely phenomenal. You know, it's there was darkness, you have to see how God has positioned all of you. He's, he's had to sit mountains in front of some of you, because you would have been exposed to the circumstances in the earth to early.

 

Bradley  1:06:20

The last time there was a global famine, Joseph was put into an actual prison, because if he was free, the context would have been was, would have been very difficult. He came out and said to them, there is about to be a famine, the likes of which has never been seen. God has given me political, economic engineering strategies that we have to implement. And the evidence was around, had he come out 10 years earlier and said, there's going to be a famine and everything was green and functioning, people would have laughed at him, they would have, they may have even killed him.

 

Bradley  1:07:02

You have had these mountains, because they have acted as defense mechanisms from being in in this kingdom and at the wrong time at the wrong contrast. And believe you me, I know what it is to take offense at God to be offended at him. What's wrong with you? What are you doing? I've seen a liberty of the shackles that have come off with me being released from my offense of God, and you will see these mountains, they will come down you will see these obstacles go away, you will see these rough places made straight. Because now is a time for us to walk in into our anointing and our authority. And we have been raised to carry the responsibility of that.

 

Bradley  1:07:51

Something you have taught me so accurately, Dr. Jones, if you're gonna give this authority to something, this mission to an individual to something. We must be prepared to accept that that comes with serious responsibility as well. And again, one of the things that will severely impact uhh deture us from that is ignorance. Leaders around the world assume responsibility for massive roles for people's lives without having any knowledge or wisdom or understanding about what they're doing. And we're not going to be in that position. We are not going to be perishing, for lack of knowledge.

 

Bradley  1:08:36

So what a privilege to be a part of this and as an individual, I am just so excited to see how God is drastically changing paradigms and mind shifts and he's going to keep us constantly on our feet. So that familiarity doesn't become something that is entrenched in us we can't have familiarity breeding contempt. We cannot become accustomed to laziness, because it comes very quickly. And so these curveballs God will deliberately throw at us are going to be exciting. So that is what I have to add to this tonight. Dr. Jones.

 

Dr. Jones  1:09:17

Thank you.

 

Dr. Jones  1:09:19

Yeah, the glory of God is is depicted in the number 1000, represents his glory, which is interesting, you know, we all fall short of the glory. Nobody lives to be 1000. Even Adam himself, he fell short by 70 years. He died at the age of 930. And the 70 years that he fell short of 70 is the number of restoration and it's also the number of nations, the beginning of nations in Genesis 10, if you count, if you count the nations listed there, they're 70. And so it becomes the number of the world or the nations of the world, because those 70 nations at that time represented the beginnings of nations really represented all nations, even though we have more than that today. And so it's interesting when God restores all nations, He's basically adding the 70, to the 930, to bring us up to the full glory of God. So it's a it's one of those things where the outpouring of the Holy Spirit is absolutely necessary. Because without it, we're not, we're not going to succeed.

 

Dr. Jones  1:10:49

Of course, that's inconceivable, we will succeed in our in our mission, kingdom will be established. Again, it depends upon God, if God doesn't move, then nothing's going to happen. We're totally dependent upon him, because there's no way that any of us can, can make this happen. And so all already even behind the scenes, we've been seeing many things happening that are quite literally miraculous.

 

Dr. Jones  1:11:28

You want to add something?

 

Bradley  1:11:30

that's just phenomenal, because you speak about that 1000. That number has been God's glory. And it's his millennial reign, which is 1000 years. It just fascinated me to you to hear you say that.

 

Dr. Jones  1:11:46

Yes. Yeah.

 

Dr. Jones  1:11:50

Also the the tie in with gold. Silver is, is the metal of redemption, that gold is about divine nature. And God is in the business of refining, gold and silver, is purifying the gold and silver for various purposes, depending upon each person's calling, of course.

 

Dr. Jones  1:12:16

But ultimately,

 

Dr. Jones  1:12:18

when we come fully into the image of Christ, when we're changed by beholding Him,

 

Dr. Jones  1:12:25

according to Paul,

 

Dr. Jones  1:12:28

our nature becomes as, as pure gold. And this is really what what gold represents in the earth. It's a it's a physical manifestation of the glory of God. And, and so, you know, when we, when we are seeing the restoration of the heavens and the earth. The earth, the earth is, is being refined as pure gold.

 

Bradley  1:13:01

Yes,

 

Dr. Jones  1:13:01

it's a very earthly thing. It's earthly. But it doesn't mean that it isn't spiritual. Because frankly, Heaven and Earth have to merge, they have to be married, as a bride and the husband. Heaven has to come to Earth. The Earth was created to be a manifestation of, of heavenly principles and way of life, culture, you name it, everything kingdom. And when when the earth reaches that point, as a reflection of heaven, so that the earth is as much the kingdom of God as heaven is, then I think that's, that's where we have the restoration of all things. And we begin a whole new chapter in you know, in God's history.

 

Dr. Jones  1:13:53

We don't we don't have any idea what he did before the before creating this world, this order, and we don't really have much idea of what he will do in the next project. But we know that God is a worker. He loves working, he loves creating, and he loves everything he creates. And so we look forward to what he's going to do in the next age. But right now we're we're focused on what he's doing here and now and that's, that involves us as we we are to manifest His glory as pure gold. He is refining us and that's the refining of the Holy Spirit.

 

Dr. Jones  1:14:34

The Holy Spirit's job is in part to refine us. And you know, whether whether we're talking about the chaff being burned to refine or the refining fire in I believe Zachariah, or the or the refiner, refining town Zarephath. In the time of Elijah, I mean, there's all these things. He's doing a refining work. And there's so many areas in which he's refining, but ultimately everything will be refined at some point. Because that's the whole point of it. He's not going to do a half job in refining everything, he's going to do a whole job. He's going to complete what he starts, because he can, simple as that, because he can.

 

Bradley  1:15:26

And because he wants to.

 

Dr. Jones  1:15:27

And he wants to.

 

Bradley  1:15:29

And because he wants to involve us.

 

Dr. Jones  1:15:32

Yes.

 

Bradley  1:15:33

The notion that God is very separate from his creation is farcical because they did not the Godhead Father, Son and Spirit need, they didn't have a necessity to create any kind of creation that they were not bored. The entire process was about relationship giving us the capacity to have relationship. And having it at its highest levels is what we've been given the opportunity to right now. You spoke about gold. In the beginning, it says in the land of Havelaar, the gold there was good. Certainly doesn't mean that it was behaving itself well.

 

Bradley  1:16:28

But it had a very focused position in terms of the light of God. And that goes back to the Melchizedek vaults.

 

Bradley  1:16:42

It also goes back into how that finally leads into the key of David and the authority that God is able to give to us, as his people, to open things that nobody can ever close and to close things that nobody can ever open is just phenomenal. And we don't have to do co-work in that sense, from a great distance. We can be so linked to it, as I say, that just blows my mind and I'm very excited about it.

 

Dr. Jones  1:17:16

Yeah. Yeah, the his intimacy with creation, which is all built on the principle of love. If he didn't love the world, he wouldn't he wouldn't be thinking about this is he's not like, the Kings among men who want to rule and have a bunch of servants primarily for their own benefit. And, you know, kings have have usually been hard to, or they've been separated from the people, especially when you have a larger nation, you know, it's, it's hard, it would be hard to get an interview with a king.

 

Dr. Jones  1:18:03

And, but, but God, He He, Well, he fills all things. And if he fills all things, what does that mean? It means he's intimately a part of his entire creation. And that includes us.

 

Bradley  1:18:22

Very much so.

 

Dr. Jones  1:18:24

And so he, you know, he has, he has his law, that is the law of the double witness that says that all things are established in the earth by two or three witnesses. Well, in heaven, truth is truth. But if you want to establish the truth in the earth, in essence, transfer that truth to make it applicable on the earth in this physical dimension. You need an earthly witness.

 

Bradley  1:18:55

Yes.

 

Dr. Jones  1:18:57

So, I mean, this is built into the law of God, which of course, is an expression of his nature. It is his nature, it is his nature, to demand a double witness in this regard.

 

Bradley  1:19:12

Yes.

 

Dr. Jones  1:19:13

And when he does he, it shows the importance that we have, we're not just we're not just following along and have it you know, watching everything that God is doing, we're actually participants in this. And participants, of course, yes, as participants, we do watch what he's doing. But what do we do in response to the watching when we see what he's doing, then we do what he does. That provides the double witness. And little by little we transfer Heaven to Earth in our own way in 1000s of different experiences in life and everybody is important because everybody has the capacity and the responsibility to transfer Heaven to Earth in their own way, to whatever extent their calling is, and who in whatever way that they can.

 

Dr. Jones  1:20:10

That's really what a kingdom citizen is all about. It's ultimately, people who are who have qualified to have the authority to bring his glory into the earth, bring heaven to earth, you know, through through, but first, of course, they have to be able to, to get the revelation of what his nature is, and then to duplicate it in the earth and to bear witness to what he is doing.

 

Dr. Jones  1:20:39

Unfortunately, the way I was raised in the church, which it took me many years to see, the difference, was that it's like you said, we expect God to endorse what we are doing in the earth. And in fact, I learned the fallacy of that 40 years ago, really, yeah, 40 years ago, when I discovered that I had been building my own my own little kingdom, which, which I thought was, was good, you know, I was doing the best I could with the revelation that I didn't have.

 

Dr. Jones  1:21:16

And it took, it took many years to finally it took another 10 years before, before I I got a handle on the simple revelation, you know, revelations are complicated until you until you understand it, and then it's simple. When you can reduce it down to a simple statement, then, then it's clear. And I discovered that, that it's all, you know, the purpose of prayer, for me, anyway, was to spend time in prayer until I knew what the mind of God was, and then go and implement it. In other words, bear witness to it be in agreement with his will.

 

Bradley  1:22:08

Correct.

 

Dr. Jones  1:22:09

Whereas before, I thought prayer was where I would spend time telling God all the things he's forgotten. He's very old, you know. And, or to tell him, this is, this is my list of things that I need, you know, because he's forgotten that too. And I found that Wait a minute. And I, there's something I knew that there was something wrong with that, just by studying the sovereignty of God, I just came to the conclusion, there's something wrong with that. But it was 10 years before I saw that the purpose of prayer is not me speaking to God as much as it is me hearing what he has to say. I'm not so much interested in in, in telling him what's on my mind, although I do that to some extent, but it's not nearly as important as it used to be. Now, my big thing is, what? What is his mind? what's on his mind? If I can discover his intent and his plan, what he intends for the earth, and more specifically, what he intends for, for me, my ministry, the surroundings, my country, things of that nature? These are the things that I need to know in order to fulfill my own purpose in the earth.

 

Bradley  1:23:33

Absolutely, yes.

 

Dr. Jones  1:23:36

And that's really what kingdom citizenship is all about. And now, it's probably a little more than citizenship. Because if you make the distinction between a citizen and a ruler, I mean, Christ talked about people ruling over one city or five cities, three cities, or what 10 cities. He does have authority in the earth. And that authority has to do with one's calling. Whatever one's calling is, that's what you are authorized to do. But, you know, Scripture talks about us ruling and reigning with Christ, well who are you going to rule and reign over. You know, at some point you have, you know, too many kings, if everybody's a king, then nobody's a king.

 

Dr. Jones  1:24:26

And so, we're our there is a there is a distinction. And this is part of the reward of obedience and the reward of coming into agreement and alignment with him. Is this those who are in alignment and who agree with his plan. These are the ones who are given authority to speak for him because God knows that they will speak according to what according to his mind and not their own flesh.

 

Dr. Jones  1:24:58

So But anyway, but basically, you know, it's about it's about citizenship. Because even the rulers are also citizens, they're just, that's really a separate issue. We have to know His Word, you have to be able to hear him and know His Word, and, and be diligent in that regard.

 

Bradley  1:25:27

And be imitators of that, God speaks. Solomon spoke so much about the power of words that they literally contain life and death in them. Out of the abundance of your heart, your mouth will speak and way your heart is there will your treasure be as well. So this capacity to take the mind of Christ which he has imputed to us. And bring it through this chain of glory and articulated verbally is something that that is absolutely critical. Speaking, the word of God over your  life continuously, is not emotive hype. It is the authority that sustains all things.

 

Dr. Jones  1:26:24

Yes.

 

Bradley  1:26:26

And the ultimate agreement could possibly be that he has spoken His Word to us and, and we are now speaking it back to him in the way that we are behaving in the way we are going about things. We've had a paradigm shift, like, second to none. And now in that, in that we are speaking back to God. And it's, it's an amazing thing, because there's a group of people around the world. And we are in agreement tonight, we will serve the Lord.

 

Dr. Jones  1:27:07

Yeah. Well,

 

Dr. Jones  1:27:13

I guess we're running a bit over time. It's gone. Gone on past an hour. Do you have any any final final thoughts to share with us, Bradley?

 

Bradley  1:27:29

I'm good. Thank you. Doctor Jones, I'm good.

 

Dr. Jones  1:27:32

Okay, well, then I guess we will proceed to close this off. And hopefully we will produce a transcript. For those of you who are unlearned, in South African dialect. (laughs) The or if you just want to read it, read it, rather than see it, I noticed some of you folks I presume from Nigeria, having a little bit of difficulty with the the connections. But that's okay. We we that's why we provide the transcript. So that you can you can see it, you can study it, you get a visual on it. And we do what we can to provide provide you with this service. So

 

Dr. Jones  1:28:29

okay, well,

 

Dr. Jones  1:28:30

blessings on all of you from all around right.

 

Bradley  1:28:34

Let me say Should we close in prayer

 

Dr. Jones  1:28:39

Yes, let's pray. Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus, we come before you and thank and praise You for Your presence with us, working with us for dealing with us for refining us. All of these things that we often chafe over, because we don't like the refining process, it's gets a little hot. But Father, we thank you for all these things for doing these things and for involving us in your plan your work and we pray that you would reveal more and more what your what your intents are and your plans, so that we can be a part of this and participate in the building of your kingdom. We thank You, Father. And we pray that all who have heard this, this live stream and all who will read the transcript later we pray your blessing to be upon them. Pray that you would give them good revelation and leading and bringing them fully into your image. The glory of God

 

Bradley  1:29:59

Amen.

 

Dr. Jones  1:30:01

Thank you the name of Jesus. Amen.

 

Bradley  1:30:05

Amen

 

Dr. Jones  1:30:08

Okay, well I guess we will say say goodbye for now and until next time. Thank you all for participating.

 

Bradley  1:30:18

Goodbye to everybody
