The Angelic Conflict - Part 50 -
A. Why the creation of man? Mankind was created to resolve the prehistoric angelic conflict.

The ultimate triumph of man occurs in the world to come = a reference to the Millennial reign of Jesus Christ!

In the Church-age, Satan and his angels reign. In the Millennium, man will rule - Jesus Christ, the Son of David!

Luk 19:17 “And he said to him, ‘Well done, good slave, because you have been faithful in a very little thing, you are to be in authority over ten cities.’”

Luk 19:19 “And he said to him also, ‘And you are to be over five cities.’”

concern = pres-mid-ind - episkepte = to go and see the sick or to relieve those who are sick.

Mat 9:12 But when He heard this, He said, “It is not those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick.”

Mar 2:17 Jesus said to them, “It is not those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick; I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

Man’s fall did not win the conflict for Satan, nor did it set God’s plan back; it actually sent it forward into the greater gear of “grace,” Deu 23:5.

This is a reference to the resurrection of Jesus Christ whereby all angelic creatures, including fallen angels, are subordinated to Him “in His humanity!”

In His deity, Jesus Christ is the creator of angels but, in His humanity, He was made lower than angels, Heb 2:7.

1Co 15:45-49 - describes only 2 members of the human race who came into the world under conditions of perfection without an O.S.N.

Eph 2:6 And He [God the Father] raised us up with Him [Jesus Christ], and seated us with Him in the heavenly places, in Christ Jesus.

Phi 3:21, 1Co 15:53 - our resurrected body is greater than angels, so the church is the first to be raptured to receive resurrected bodies at the bema seat judgment!

Deu 32:4 The rock! His work is perfect, for all his ways are just; a God of faithfulness and without injustice, righteous and upright is He.

“crowned” = aor-act-ind - estephanosas = to adorn with an honorary crown, to receive the approval of God.

Gen 1:28-30 - God gave the first Adam dominion over creation.

Heb 2:9 - “crowned with glory and honor” refers to the birth of TLJC which was just like the creation of the first Adam.

1Co 15:22 “In Adam all die, in Christ shall all be made alive”

At the Second Advent, when the Millennial reign begins, there will be believers on earth minus demons and unbelievers - this is the baptism of fire, Mat 24:40-41.

During the Millennial reign, the saints will rule in resurrection bodies just like the unseen forces now who run the world.

“All things being subjected to Him” refers to the human race, the angelic race, nature, weather, animals, and plant life.

“He left nothing that is not subject to Him” refers to the baptism of fire where all that is against Christ will be removed.
