THE KINGDOM, THE POWER AND THE GLORY

We end the Lord’s Prayer with these words. These are the words given to us by the son of God, Jesus the Christ, while he was on earth. The person who knows God the best would be his son and he gives us this description of his Father.

The kingdom belongs to the Father, our God. He created everything and so it all belongs to Him, no one else can own His creation. He created it without help since there was no one to help and therefore no one to share in the ownership of the kingdom.

The power also belongs to God, if He owns everything, it must therefore follow that He has all of the power, power over the Heavens and the earth and also even over hell itself. Nothing can happen unless God lends His power to it. He is the life of all and therefore has the power over all.

Since God owns the kingdom, and has all power over it, should He not receive all of the glory? There is no one else who deserves the glory more than the owner of the Kingdom who has all of the power. His is the Kingdom, the power and the glory, all belongs to God.

THE FALLEN SPIRITS

Not all of the spirits who fell from Heaven accompanying Lucifer fell to the same depth as Lucifer. Those spirits who had only been followers did not descend as low. All fell to the depth of which their guilt proved them.

And it is true that we are descendants of the apes but not as we are told by material selection but by reincarnation. And not only were we apes but before those incarnations, we were animals of a lower species. Some of us may have begun our life on earth as insects progressing from that stage.

You may wonder that God created us as insects or did he not love us to place us in such a low state. The answer is that He could do no more than that since the lower we were as a spirit the less our ability to communicate with God’s sprits, the lower our intelligence and the more flawed our character.

It is only thanks to God and Christ that they created a system whereby we could progress at all. They could have left us in the lower realms altogether. It is only through their love for us that we were given an opportunity to progress through the stages in order to attain to our former glory.
