COUNTING THE COST

 What does it mean to count the cost ?  It means what is expected of GODS saints when they first made the commitment to answer the call and be chosen.  

When Jesus said, “count the cost” , he meant that his followers must fully understand and commit to the immense sacrifices required for discipleship, including forsaking worldly attachments, worldly ambitions and even their own lives to insure they are not just impulsive believers who quit when things get difficult but truly dedicated disciples who are willing to give up everything for him, understanding that this complete surrender leads to profound spiritual reward.  

The rich young ruler was not able to do this because he did not want to give up his wealth in order to follow Jesus.  It says he went away sorrowful indicating that he did have some inkling of what it was he had turned down.  GOD and Jesus will not force anyone to become a disciple, it is a matter of answering the call, the rich young ruler did not answer the call therefore he was not chosen.  Many are called but few are chosen.

The innumerable multitude, the church of GOD at Laodicea that exists along side the Philadelphia church did accept the call and they were indeed chosen but due to the cares of this world, the desire to be rich and increased with goods needing nothing was their fault.  They forgot the cost of being a disciple and because of this will be required to give up their lives as martyrs whereas the Philadelphia church kept the words of Jesus and never denied his name.  They were willing to sacrifice their lives if it was his will but because of their dedication will be protected / sealed from the horrors of the great tribulation, that hour of trial that will come upon the world.  Revelation 3:10

Then Peter asked Jesus, Matthew 19:27 , “We have given up everything to follow you, what then shall we have ?”  The answer Jesus gives is in Matthew 19:28-29   Anything we have in this life is nothing when compared to what GOD offers us.  This life is only temporary and everything in it but the life to come is everlasting and everything in it.  We give up the temporary to gain the everlasting.  Would you be willing to do this ?  

At this time GOD has not chosen us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation.  Even if GOD and Christ ask you to do something that will cause your first death you are still guaranteed everlasting life in the kingdom and avoid the second death.  

Being a true elect of GOD will make you different from the carnal world because you will be guided by GOD working in you and HIS love the spiritual force in your life.  Perhaps this may lead to problems with family, friends and employers because you will not compromise the will of the spirit of GOD and Christ. Some people may think you are crazy, some see that you are different but none truly understanding why. 

It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living GOD.  It is the death of the old you, the evil sinful you, to be controlled by the spirit of GOD that you must never quench or grieve.  Surrender must be total and complete.  It begins at your conversion and grows throughout your life and perfection is only achieved when after being faithful and enduring to the end you will be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, into a glorified immortal impeccable spirit being.  

This is the future GOD and Jesus want for you and though free to us it came at a great price for GOD, the death of HIS son.  This Jesus gave us the example of how we follow him in how he followed his FATHER, a total and complete surrender of his will to his GOD and his GOD worked in him to Will and to do all HIS good pleasure.  GOD lived in Jesus and Jesus lived in GOD.  NOW, with the saints both GOD and Jesus live in us, we are their property, they own us, we submit willingly in love for what they have done and will do for us.  

THE COST OF HAVING THE INDWELT SPIRIT IS EVERYTHING

 

 

 

The Cost of Having the Indwelt Spirit is Everything

SRB 15 Jan 2026​

I think the first thing emphasized to us in church is:

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is everlasting life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Eph 2:8–9 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast

I think it is critically important for those who have chosen to follow Yeshua and have everlasting life to make sure that they don’t skip passage related to these that I have listed.

That passage in Romans above is led by:

Romans 6:22 But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the fruit you get leads to sanctification and its end, everlasting life.

Even in the book of Ephesians, we stop reading and do not note:

Ephesians 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

Ever wonder why “salvation” is not closely related to sacrifice and works during sermons? Well, it should be because scripture makes that point very clear in several places. One can find in scripture:

Luke 9:23-24 And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it.

What do we call a person who claims that Yeshua is our King and Teacher? The term is disciple. Do we believe that we can spend forever with God when we have neglected to follow His Son and obey the will of His Father?

The good news for me - I have noted that this obedience and discipleship has come to be more common knowledge than it used to be. At least, in my little corner of this planet. Your mileage may very.

So, I want to share my views on what it looks like when a person denies his- or her- self and takes up the cross of Christ to follow Yeshua into everlasting life.

I’m certain that this is redundant information for those who have been given the Holy Spirit to dwell within and guide their lives already, but then; the person reading this may be still young and having the New Man but still be a child.

While salvation (being justified to remove the sins of the past) is received freely by faith alone, but following Jesus as a disciple comes with a very real cost. In Luke 14:25–33

Luke 14:25–33 Now great crowds accompanied him, and he turned and said to them, “If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple. Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple. For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it? Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish.’ Or what king, going out to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and deliberate whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand? And if not, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends a delegation and asks for terms of peace. So therefore, any one of you who does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple.”

Has anyone ever pondered this suggestion? Why would the Son of God warn us about not considering what all this surrendering our life and will to God would cost? Do you suppose He was trying to scare us off? Maybe He was getting the attention of those who would simply warning those who make an emotional decision that is short-lived?

These passages are followed by:

Luke 14:34–35 "Salt is good, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is of no use either for the soil or for the manure pile. It is thrown away. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

I think it is important to understand what cautionary statement. If we pair it with the statement in Hebrews, it becomes more important. This paper is thought to benefit those who may not have considered the seriousness of the warning. Truthfully, I think these passages are seldom put together to have people understand that the sacrifice that the Son of God made is HUGE and not to be taken lightly, as are the teachings of God given through His Son.. If we do believe that God exists and His Son bought us with this high price, we should recognize our decision to become a disciple was also HUGE. This is not the cheap greasy grace that some have accepted.

Heb 6:4–6 For it is impossible, in the case of those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, and have shared in the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the age to come, and then have fallen away, to restore them again to repentance, since they are crucifying once again the Son of God to their own harm and holding him up to contempt.

We are slaves to God, disciples of His Son, and going on in our lives to sanctification. I hope this point has been made. I feel certain that we all would understand that the way we live our lives is to be a testimony regarding our faith and obedience. But, for some; it may not have been considered before now.

What does that life look like to observers? Are we valid testimony of our faith?

First off, considering that we may never understood our obligation as slaves to our God Yahweh and our obedience to our King Yeshua; we may never have received the spirit that was promised to those who have been told that they are “saved.” That conversion does not happen just because you walked to the front of a church and were congratulated for the “new life” you will lead now.

I’m convinced that the spirit of God comes to us when we truly surrender our lives to God. That is not just words – that is real surrender of our hearts and minds. That is accepting all the truths that God gives us regardless of how the local church feels about it. That is being willing to stand alone on God’s word and live for Him as a living sacrifice.

It is at that point that we truly have God’s spirit dwell with us. That is when the fruit of the Spirit becomes recognizable attributes of our lives. Each of us who are led by Yahweh and His Son, have the spirit within that convicts us of error and which leads to repentance. We can evaluate ourselves or accept correction from our brothers and sisters.

Ga 5:22–6:10 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. (die to ourselves daily)

If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another. Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted. Bear one another’s burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ. For if anyone thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. But let each one test his own work, and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone and not in his neighbor. For each will have to bear his own load.

Let the one who is taught the word share all good things with the one who teaches. Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap everlasting life. And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.

Once one is a host to the spirit of God, life changes. Fear gets eliminated, contentment reigns, and joy grows. That is why we are told:

Matt 11:28–30 "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

The Holy Spirit makes righteous living possible.

To help illustrate the daily life we will lead, consider that we:

• Recognize that we no longer live for ourselves but for God and others. Let our actions, even the very small ones, reflect our consideration of others as more important than ourselves.
• Choose to live as one who was bought with a price, who surrender our will to God’s will
  
• We choose forgiveness of hurts and abuse over angst and vindictiveness
• We see the needs of others as more important than our own
• We learn to continuously say “no” to temptation and seek sanctification
• Accept whatever difficulties, sacrifices, and abuses that come from obedience to God
• Take all our cares and concerns to Yahweh in the name of His Son
• Forsake the world acknowledging that it is not our home

Care to add others to this list?

CORNELIUS CHRISTIANS

In the book of Acts , Acts 10:1-48 , is the account of the first recorded conversion of a Gentile.  There is in this account many lessons to learn.  At this time I want to focus on a lesson we all need to learn about this incident.  I called this article the Cornelius Christians because the manner of how the conversion of Cornelius and his household differs from the conventional manner that had been used by the Apostles.  The difference was that Cornelius and his house received the Holy Spirit prior to baptism.  Now the carnal world has differing interpretations of this event but the truth is that GOD was showing that HE was also calling the Gentiles to the faith.  This was the beginning of the calling of the Gentiles.  

What is important to see also is that even while Cornelius received the Spirit before baptism, baptism was still required.   In the times after the church was scattered to the four winds and without formal organization under the Apostles  the Cornelius Christian became the norm.  All of GODS elect saints from the time the organizational structure of the first century church disappeared are converted in the same manner as Cornelius was.  Look at how scattered the true church is and has been since about the beginning of the second century.  There was no human ministry, no preaching of the gospel, no church meetings and no recognition by the carnal world that we true Christians even exist.  

GOD would have to give us HIS spirit first to even understand spiritual things well enough to even come out of the church cult we were baptized into.  To give us the spiritual eyes to see that we were in a Satanic cult, baptized into a Satanic church.  Remember Revelation 12:9  1 John 5:19  these scriptures are true, the entire world that claims to be Christian is in reality of the Devil.  If we were in any of them we were in a church of the Devil.  Did not GOD call us out of this darkness and into HIS light ?  To even see this and understand this the spirit of GOD had to be in us to show us this and give us the strength to leave, to come out from among them and be separate so that GOD receives us.  Then just as what transpired with Cornelius must with us too.  Water should not be forbidden, Christ commanded baptism, it was always the practice of the Apostles and this cannot be denied.  Therefore if you have experienced what I call the Cornelius Christian conversion then you absolutely need to be obedient to Christ and be baptized in his name.

The order of things may change but the truth of them remains the same.  The ancient Christians like Able, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were never baptized but did indeed have the Holy Spirit.  In order to confirm the promises made to these fathers of the faith, Jesus was baptized to fulfill all righteousness.  Jesus was baptized for them not himself.  The promises given to the fathers was the new covenant the message of the gospel that GOD taught to them. This covenant needed to be confirmed as well as the righteousness of faith from GOD that the fathers all had.  The seed of Abraham, Jesus, would come and confirm the covenant and all righteousness.  Romans 15:8   Acts 13:32-33    Micah 7:20  Then baptism replaced circumcision as a sign of the new covenant.  So you see how the ancient saints are like us today having been given the spirit before baptism but baptism still was done to fulfill all righteousness and confirm the promises made to the fathers.

 When we were caught up in the deception of whatever Satanic church we were in we did not know these things but at some point GOD intervened to call us and we answered the call as Abraham did saying, “here am I”.  In our minds, our thoughts, our human spirit GOD was speaking to us through Jesus Christ.  “He that believes and is baptized shall be saved but those not believing will be condemned.” Mark 16:16  Peter believed baptism was very important, 1 Peter 3:21 “And this water symbolizes the baptism that now saves you.”  There is also Romans 6:3-4  “baptized into his death”.  Titus 3:5 “the washing of new birth”.  Galatians 3:27 “baptism is to be clothed with Christ”   John 3:5; “Truly truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of GOD unless he is born of water (baptism) and spirit.”  “In one spirit we are baptized into one body (the true church, not the false one we were called out of) and given one spirit to drink.”  1 Corinthians 12:13  

When I and a few others came out of one of Satans cults we realized that the baptism into that cult was false and we were led by the spirit to see that we needed the one true baptism.  After we submitted to this baptism our spiritual growth accelerated significantly. 

Today we are like Abraham dwelling in a world that in the future we will inherit and none of the promises have yet been fulfilled, GOD having provided a better thing for us that they should not be made perfect apart from us.  

Whenever a person is called out of the world they need to be baptized with the one true baptism.

Ephesians 4:4  “only one baptism into one faith in one GOD, in the one hope of our calling, into the one true church.”  The baptism you and I had in Satans church was not it.  

A CONVERSATION WITH THE TEN COMMANDMENTS

 Hello there, I am the Ten Commandments, you know the law, the stone tablets written on with the finger of the arch angel Michael.  I am the heart and core of what is called the old covenant.  I thought that I would ask Lee if I could post an article here on his blog and he very graciously said yes.  

Now many of you out there have different ideas about me, some say I am abolished, some say they must keep me so in order to clear up this confusion I have come forward to tell you about myself.  First of all I only list ten things that are sin if you violate them but I say nothing about the punishment for violating them, that is in the book of the law of Moses, you know him, the guy who carried me down from the mountain.  Now the first time Moses brought me down from the mountain he busted me to smithereens because Israel was worshiping a golden calf so Moses had to go back up the mountain and get another copy of me that was exactly the same as the first.  Anyway, for the people that think I have been abolished, why do you say that, Jesus told you plainly in Matthew 5:17 that every jot and tittle of me is still here.  Then for you who think you have to keep me I have big news for you, YOU CAN’T.  What is wrong with you people , it seems that you can’t get anything right.  Look, everybody sins right, and because of sin everybody dies, you get that ?  I don’t offer everlasting life and I won’t forgive you if you break me, I have absolutely no mercy.  If you break me you die, period.  What is so difficult about that ?  This is one of the reasons GOD gave me to you, to show you that you all are hopelessly trapped in sin and the only way out is Jesus.  I’m not bad or evil, I am holy, just and good because GOD ordained that sinners should die and that’s what I do, I kill all of you so that you can hopefully see this and repent, which is another thing I won’t let you do.  If you put yourself under me you are dead, I will have no mercy, no forgiveness, you can’t repent and I don’t give life but I do bring death.  Why do you drag me into the new covenant when I AM THE OLD COVENANT !!!  What are you thinking ?  Yes, I do have the ability to deter people from sinning outwardly because they fear being put to death but the inner person I can’t touch at all.  So even if you don’t actually say or do anything that can be seen and testified to by witnesses if you think it your still dead. My last command, the 10th for you who don’t know, says, “Thou shalt not covet or lust”.  This means that if you even think of sinning you have sinned. Jesus brought this out in Matthew 5:28 and all my commandments can be broken in the same way.  Furthermore, if you just break one of my commandments you are guilty of breaking them all.  Trying to keep me is a lose lose situation, you can’t win.  The only hope you have is the new covenant which gives you a much better deal than I will.  This should be falling off a log simple, life or death, the new covenant gives life but me, the old covenant kills you, take your pick.  

Many of you don’t realize that I am a direct result of Adam and Eve eating the forbidden fruit.  The knowledge of sin, of good and evil was later on through Moses written on tables of stone, yes it was me, the ministry of death.  Don’t you know that Satan wants you to be under me because I kill you and Satan knows that, this is why he blinds your eyes from understanding the gospel Jesus and the Apostles preached.  There are only two ways that GOD Will judge you, either by me or by grace, that’s it.  Jesus gave you two great commandments of love toward GOD and your neighbor and GOD gives you HIS GODLY love by HIS Holy Spirit so that you can actually fulfill what I was only a shadow of.  Jesus didn’t fulfill the law by keeping me, he fulfilled me with his FATHERS love, love is the fulfillment of me people, I don’t fulfill anything, I just kill you if your not in Christ.  The problem in all of this isn’t me, like I said, I am holy, just and good, the problem is that your not, your the problem not me.  In reality I am your teacher, your schoolmaster, and I show you plainly that you need Jesus. The FATHER draws you to Jesus by using me, I teach you this but your not hearing me.  

Well, I could go on and on about this but you know, you have been given the scriptures, the prophets, Jesus and the Apostles but after all this you still don’t get it.  Well I tried and so with that I will go back into the ark and wait for GOD to straighten things out.  So this is the Ten Commandments saying good bye until then.

 The total amount of world debt is                $338,000,000,000,000   that’s 338 trillion dollars.

The entire world’s total value is 

$ 117,000,000,000,000  that’s 117 trillion dollars.

Simple subtraction shows a $ 221,000,000,000,000 trillion dollar shortfall.

  It is mathematically impossible to pay off this debt and the debt will only grow larger.  We pay more for goods and services every year because of inflation.  Inflation is the lessening of the value of money or of its purchasing power.  What cost you $ 100.00 last year now costs $105.00  and this would be 5% inflation.  All nations have devalued their currencies to make their exports more attractive to buyers and this produces inflation.  The U.S. is the biggest debtor nation on earth.  The U.S. only pays interest payments on the debt thus never reducing the principal.  This causes debt to grow along with more reckless spending by the government.  This cycle is being repeated by all other countries.  

The future of world economics is a collapse of world economies unprecedented in human history.  In the past we had nations go under because of economic collapse but this time it’s the entire world facing economic collapse.  The chaos and violence that always comes from a collapse will be worldwide.  Nations will rise against nation in competition for resources that will be very scarce.  It is possible wars will be fought and rumors of war being spread.  Pestilence and starvation will increase and cause the love of many to wax cold.  

What I have described above I call the false tribulation, a precursor to the great tribulation that will come about 3 1/2 years later and that one will be worse than the false one.  In the between times of the false and true tribulations the world will want a savior and Satan will give them one, the antichrist. Things in that day will improve and people will become rich and increased with goods.  This time I call the false millennium.  The antichrist will bring back the law of Moses, the Temple and its sacrifices.  At the time appointed antichrist will end the sacrifices and in the most holy place of the temple proclaim himself GOD.  This will be what causes the great tribulation that effects the entire world.  GODS elect will see these things beforehand and know they will be sealed in their foreheads with the seal of GOD that protects them from this hour of trial that comes upon the whole world.   Revelation 3:10  Revelation 7:3    As Jesus told us no one but his FATHER knows the exact time of his return.  While we wait we submit ourselves to GODS spirit to work in us to produce love and righteousness.  To teach us HIS truth and guide and direct all our words and deeds accordingly.  Our lives belong to GOD and Christ, not to us.  GOD and Christ live in us and direct us in all our ways.  Our debt we had when we were sinners was paid by the blood of GODS son. We were bought with a price, we are not our own, we are GODS property.  We are debt free.

 After the events of 2025 there is hope that this new year of 2026 will be better.  Things do not change overnight.  The rampant antisemitism, blatant violations of state governors and city mayors to cooperate with the federal government in its efforts to deport illegal aliens, the development of socialism and communism in parts of the nation, high cost of living, growing federal debt, racial division and collapse of morality with senseless murders and abortions are only a few of the problems facing the world.  Western nations have brought in people from other nations who do not want to assimilate but rather bring their nation with them and leach upon their hosts to the point where citizens of these nations suffer in order to care for these illegals.  It is as though the leadership in the nations is going insane.  Western civilization is under the threat of extinction by the hands of those they intended to help.  In the U.S. the idea of birthright citizenship is commonly accepted by many including the courts. However, this idea was never adopted by the founding fathers and in reality was the opposite.  The 14th amendment of the constitution known as the citizenship amendment states, “all persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside.”  The words in bold are always omitted by those who want birthright citizenship because they destroy the idea that supports birthright citizenship.  If anyone is born in the United States but IS NOT SUBJECT TO U.S. JURISDICTION IS NOT A CITIZEN. Children born in the U.S. by parents who are not U.S. citizens are not themselves citizens because their parents are under the jurisdiction of another country.  This is the proper way to interpret the 14th amendment.  This correct interpretation also removes due process rights from noncitizens because the U.S. Constitution is only for U.S. citizens, not anyone else.  The preamble to the U.S. constitution says it all; “We the people of the United States in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare and insure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity do ordain and establish this constitution for the United States of America.  Nowhere does this mention anyone else, it’s for WE, THE PEOPLE OF THE  UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.  Any other interpretation that includes anyone other than a U.S. citizen is therefore unconstitutional.  This isn’t complex or difficult to understand except if your mind has become so corrupted by extreme ideology that has no common sense to understand what holds a nation together in unity.  Look at the U.S. today, it went from being a melting pot to a stinking cesspool with so many different people who all have different agendas and none of them desiring to truly be a citizen but are here only to live off of us and have become political pawns for the democrat party.  This constant pulling in all directions will eventually pull the nation apart.  

Things to look for in 2026 are all of these things and much more to get worse.  The world is headed for a day of reckoning that when it comes it will be horrific.  When this happens the world will look for a leader to save them and Satan will provide one.  

I do not say that this will happen in 2026 but events leading up to it will continue to escalate in 2026 to that dreadful time.  The world has never, to this degree we are seeing now, been in this condition , this is a first, it’s never happened before.  

GODS elect saints will be watching with great interest the events of this new year of 2026.  The horrible day will not take the elect by surprise because we are not in darkness as the carnal world is.

THEY SHALL BE KINGS AND PRIESTS AND RULE UPON THE EARTH

There is a scripture that says, “Eye has not seen, ear has not heard, neither has it entered into the imaginations of men what GOD has prepared for those who love HIM.”  1 Corinthians 2:9   The totality of all that GOD has planned for HIS saints cannot be known.  This fact however is not meaning that we are in total darkness concerning these things. The scriptures do inform us that we will judge angels.  Jesus is higher than the angels having a more excellent name and we are to be transformed into the image of Jesus therefore we too will be higher than the angels.  Our equality with the angels is only that we will be composed of spirit and be immortal, impeccable and righteous.  GOD has made HIS human son, now a life giving spirit, the heir of all things seen and unseen and we the saints are joint heirs with Jesus.  GOD did not put the angels in authority of the world to come.  Hebrews 2:5 

This future kingdom will be ruled by Jesus and the glorified saints not only in the millennium but forever. The kingdom is turned over to the FATHER after all enemies are destroyed but it yet continues and increases.  “Of his kingdom there shall be no end” , “the Holy people of the most high GOD shall posses the kingdom forever and ever.” ,  “the kingdoms of this world have become the kingdom of our GOD and of HIS Christ and HE shall reign forever and ever.”  

Many say the earth is going to be destroyed but this is false.  The earth will be repaired just as it was long ago after the damage caused  by the Satanic rebellion and the curse upon creation removed.  The prophet Micah briefly describes how the saints will be Elohim (gods) who rule over humans during the millennium. These people will worship their Elohim but the Elohim will worship YAHWEH, the most high GOD.  Micah 4:1-5  

There are other scriptures that call the saint’s Elohim.  Jesus said, “HE called them gods to whom the word of GOD came” John 10:35  Psalm 82:6   Psalm 82:1   Psalm 138:1   

When Moses led Israel out of Egypt he tried to carry out all the responsibility and it became too much for him.  His father-in-law Jethro gave Moses good advice in Exodus 18:13-26 .  The first century church was also provided with structured leadership from Apostles to Deacons.  These things were needed and necessary for large organizations but when the church became scattered all these offices ended and GOD and Christ took over.  In the kingdom of GOD Jesus is the chief executive appointed by his GOD and under Jesus are the saints who are given rule over villages, towns, cities, states, a nation, groups of nations and hemispheres. The saints will replace the demons who formerly ruled under Satan and Jesus replaces Satan.  The former systems in ancient Israel and the first century church were shadows of how rulership will be in the kingdom of GOD.  

So then, while it is impossible to know all the glorious things that await us we can have a glimpse into some of these things through prophecy.
