87. Exalted Kingdom
Numbers 24:7 He shall pour the water out of his buckets, and his seed shall be in many waters, and his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted.
Balaam continues to bless Israel and speak God’s promises for the people. The spiritual prosperity of the kingdom of God will continue to grow, for God’s people will enjoy much water and plenty of seed. The king of Israel will be higher than the king of the Amalekites. The kingdom of Israel will be exalted. The blessing Balaam gives is extended to include Christ and all the believers in Christ who make up the kingdom of God under the exalted King, Jesus.
We pray according to this promise: “Thy kingdom come.” The kingdom of God is the spiritual reign of God in the spiritual realm of the hearts of all believers in Christ. This invisible, spiritual, and eternal kingdom will One Day become visible and tangible to the physical senses and it will go on into eternity. This is the promise of the Bible and the promise of the Kingdom. While we wait for the redemption of our bodies we enjoy the abundant blessings of the kingdom of God within us now. And we pray with faith for the kingdom to come and rule in our hearts and lives, our marriages and families, our churches and communities, our nation and world.When God rules unhindered and we willingly submit and surrender all to His benevolent rule and good will everything is as peaceful and prosperous as the life of God dwelling and reigning within. So we believe “Thy kingdom will come.”
This Kingdom will be exalted. While Jesus will be exalted to the highest place and given a name above all names, so also will we who are in the Kingdom. We shall be exalted with Jesus in the heavenly places. The glory of the humble kingdom within will be revealed and the unseen spiritual kingdom will become the eternal kingdom of God ruling the new heaven and new earth forever. The kingdom of the world will become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever. That exalted kingdom lives in us today. God promises.
