Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too much,
because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy for
today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect yesterday's
portion of heavenly manna, the word of God to keep
us through today's challenges. On this program, we are going
to change all of that. Let's experience God's words today
and receive the power we need to live healthy, vibrant lives.
Welcome to Your Daily Portion with your host, author speaker,
Elle David Harris.
Speaker 2: Good morning, good morning, Good morning, it is Tuesday. It's
May twenty seven, twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is
El David Harris. I am your host, and this is
your Daily Portion where we give you God's word every
single day, and today is no exception. We are continuing
in our lesson study series how to study Bible Prophecy,
and our caption for today is under his Feet, Under
his Feet. We'll get into that in just a moment,
but first i'd like to say welcome to you and
ask you to go over to your Daily Portion dot com.
Please join our online community, pick up the Your Daily
Portion Life application guide, and also click that red button
at your Daily Portion dot com This is one of
the ways that we continue to build faith and fellowship.
Let's go ahead and pray, and then we will get underway. Father,
we do thank you for giving us the privilege of
opening up your word and for us to be able
to live in eternity with you one day. Please help
us to look forward to the day and live according
to your principles. In Jesus' name, I pray, Amen and
amen again under his feet. So let me just start
out by saying that all nations should shout. When I
say shout, I mean rejoice. All nations should rejoice and
be glad when God gets what he desires. What is
it that he desires? He wants for his people to
live in victory. So everybody should be shouting like every nation,
every person in every nation, kindred tongue, tribe, in people
should be excited if God and when God gets what
he wants for his people to live victoriously. Now let
me read from the lesson writer and give a little
bit more context. Long term, the future is bright. But
until then, humanity ceded dominion over the planet to the devil,
He said Lucifer. But really and truly he wasn't Lucifer anymore,
it was the devil. And by the time Satan appeared
at the Heavenly Council in the Book of Job, he
boasted that this earth belonged to him. So God said,
where you're coming from? And of course the devil with
his bosy big teches yourself, said, I'm coming from going down,
up and down into and fro in the earth like
I'm doing whatever I want to do. What am I?
Where am I? I'm coming from the earth that I
run like I rule. And so Satan is declaring ownership.
That's the way that he saw it. He's declaring ownership.
The foot was used in antiquity to represent ownership. Hopefully
we can get back to that in a second. Okay,
In antiquity, the foot was used to represent ownership. The
Bible says here in Genesis, chapter thirteen and verse seventeen, Arise,
walk through the length and breadth of the land. God
instructed Abraham, for I will give it to you. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah,
somebody's getting it now. Somebody's getting it now. Let's go
ahead and begin now with Psalms chapter forty seven, and
I will read verses one through four. Oh, clap, your hands,
all ye people, shout unto God with the voice of triumph.
For the Lord Most High is terrible. He is a
great king over all the earth. He shall subdue the
people under us and the nations under our feet. He
shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob,
whom he loved. Let me read it another way, All
you nations, clap your hands, shout out to God in celebration.
For the Lord most High is awe inspiring. He is
the great king who rules the whole earth. He subdued
nations beneath us and countries under our feet. He picked up.
He picked out for us a special land to be
a source of pride for Jacob, whom he loves. And
so the question is, what does this say about our
place in Christ's kingdom? What does this say about our
place in Christ's kingdom? It says that we belong to God,
We belong to God, and we belong in a victorious kingdom.
Why because we belong to God, We belong to God,
we belong in a victorious kingdom. Why because we belong
to God. Verse one shows celebration and not fear. We
are not spectators. We are participating actively in God's triumph,
And I'm thinking that you should be saying praise the Lord.
And then Christ reigns over all the Earth. Verse two
reveals that the universal rule goes to God. He is
the universal ruler. There are no borders in his final kingdom,
only his authority and peace. This is why I said
the nation should be grateful and thankful and shouting in
joy and triumph. When God gets what he desires, What
does he desire for us? Peace? People to be victorious
in all ways? And then of course we share as
I said a moment ago in his victory. Verse three
says that God subdues nations under us, meaning the faithful
will reign with Christ. According to Revelation chapter twenty and
verse four. Right now, sometimes we see the iron fist
of dictatorial rule from some humans on planet Earth. Yet
there are some people who are supposed to be representing
God by virtue of their positions magistrates, kings, judges, other
kinds of rulers, presidents, prime ministers, governors, general, and others.
Some of these people in certain parts of the world
are using the responsibility that God gave them for their
own purposes, and in that case, they're not representing God.
So when God ultimately re takes back rule in the
fullest of senses, then the entire universe will rejoice. And
of course, in verse four, the Bible says that God
chooses our inheritance. He's the one that chooses our inheritance.
We're not like the boy who told his daddy in
the Book of John, give me what is doue me
the prodigal son. No, we accept the inheritance God gives
us because as he promised, Jesus himself promised in John
chapter fourteen, He's going to prepare a place for us.
And when he goes and prepares that place for us,
he will come again and receive us unto himself. And
guess what wherever our feet are, that is our inheritance.
Now we rush quickly to this side by side comparison
of first Thessalonians chapter four, Verses thirteen and to seventeen
and Zechariah chapter fourteen. Now the Bible reads that the
Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, and
that the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we
which are alive and remain, will be caught up together
with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in
the air. This is what the Bible teaches in the
Thessalonian's text. Now, it means that at this event, and
it's going to be a big one commonly understood, and
that's the way we need to understand it. As the
second coming of Jesus Christ. Jesus does not yet touch
the earth. He does not let his feet touch the earth.
The redeemed will meet God in the air. Now, in
Zachariah chapter four, the Bible says that Jesus stands on
the Mount of Olives, and his feet shall stand in
that day upon the Mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem.
And so this describes the moment after the thousand years
are finished, post the second coming of Christ, where Jesus's
feet do touch the earth, especially at the point of
the Mount of Olives, causing it to this signals a visible,
physical and ultimate establishing of his authority on the earth. Well,
what are the differences. Well, when Jesus comes the second time,
he will come in the air. When Jesus comes the
third time, or after the thousand years are finished, Christ
stands on the earth, the believers will rise to meet
him at the second coming the third Coming, the Mount
of Olive splits under his feet. There is no contact
at the second Coming, but on the third coming, when
Jesus comes with his people in the New Jerusalem, then
the direct impact on geography and the nations becomes eternal.
The meek will inherit the earth. Peace.
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we cannot
live by bread alone, but by every word that comes
from the mouth of God. This has been your daily
portion with el David Harris, make it a great day. Yeah,
