under his feet.
26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
27 For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith, all
things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did
put all things under him.
28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son
also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that
God may be all in all.
Eph 1:22 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be

Luke 17:20-21 20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees,

kingdomof God is within you.

13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the
kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
Vs 12 not Church-age: No Christian is forgiven on the basis of forgiving others; he
is forgiven and cleansed, when he judges his own sin and confesses it to Jesus the
judge.
1Cor 11:30-33 30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among
you, and many sleep.

word is not in us.

5. Eph 4:32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving

judge-Mat5:22)

righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the
wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do
right?

unto death, and those that are ready to be slain; 12 If thou sayest,

consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? and
shall not he render to every man accordingto his works?

fire.
Matt 7:2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and

Three petitions God-ward and four man-ward which also defines the numbers
3 and 4. Three is the Godhead or Gods signature. Four is earth as in the 4
corners of the earth.

Matt 6
13 ….For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever.
Amen.
Only a Bible gives this definitive statement. “Translations” either add a note of
doubt to its authority or omit it altogether. God declares the future; man is
limited to the present or his imagination.
The devil thinks he owns this world:
Matt 4:8-9 8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceedinghigh
mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the
glory of them;
9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall
down and worshipme.
Luke 4:6-7 6 And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give
thee, and the glory of them: for that is deliveredunto me; and to
whomsoever I will I give it.
7 If thou therefore wilt worshipme, all shall be thine.
Just becauseJesus has not repossessed earth and all its kingdoms doesn’t mean
he doesn’t havethe title deed.

cherubims, thou art the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of
the earth: thou hast made heaven and earth.

7. Ps 24:1-2 1 A Psalmof David. The earth is the LORD'S, and the
fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
2 For he hath founded it upon the seas, and establishedit upon the
floods.
Ps 89:11 The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the
world and the fulness thereof, thou hast foundedthem.
Col 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and
that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or
dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by
him, and for him:
