The Royal Context
by Lars Widerberg
What matters is the throne. What matters is the sovereign lordship of
Jesus Christ.
“You shall call his name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the
Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to him the throne of
his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and
of his kingdom there will be no end.” Luke 1:30-33.
Endorsement and endowment comes from the throne. The making of a
man’s character comes from the throne. The sending comes from the
throne. The words borne by a sent man must come from the throne.
What matters is the throne. What matters is the sovereign lordship of
the King of kings, Jesus Christ – God’s only begotten Son. “Of His
kingdom there will be no end.” Apostolicity is all about the throne. The
apostolic man is brought forth for the heralding of the royal context. The
comprehensive, all encompassing issue focused in apostolic heralding
is the Throne.
“In those days and in that time, declares the Lord, the people of Israel
and the people of Judah shall come together, weeping as they come,
and they shall seek the Lord their God. They shall ask the way to Zion,
with faces turned toward it, saying, ‘Come, let us join ourselves to the
Lord in an everlasting covenant that will never be forgotten.’ Jer 50:4-5
Apostolicity holds an answer to the inquiry. Apostolicity holds an answer
regarding Zion and the redeemer to come, simply because it engages
intensely in the waiting for an answer, even for the fulfilment of the
promises. Jeremiah, together with the Holy Spirit, allows his secretary,
Baruch, to make the following comment: “In the latter days you will
understand this”. A perceiving and an understanding regarding the
mystery of God, summarized in the pregnant promise of a redeemer
coming to Zion, even out of Zion, will be given from above to men who
inquire, and then to be heralded by them as a preparing of the way for
Him to return.
“In that day there shall be the Root of Jesse standing for a banner of
the people; to Him the nations shall seek; and His resting place shall be
glorious.” Isa 11:10
“Pass! Pass through the gates; prepare the way of the people. Raise
up! Raise up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a banner for the
peoples.” Isa 62:10
The matter of the gathering of the people of God, Jew as well as
Gentile, the matter of the heralding the returning of the Redeemer to
Zion asks for men who dare to give themselves to a solemn task in the
researching the vast prophetic material set forth in the Word of God.
The matter of the throne calls for men who dare to leave behind
categories common to the Church, for a returning to the apostolic
listening and waiting, for the royal context to be recovered and
reestablished.
Its content will oppose and contradict the shallowness of the Sunday
Church. It's beauty and its holiness will cause the Sunday culture to
shake violently in its foundations, and the restoring of the
companionship of humility and truth will reveal the emptiness of
churchianity – all this for the sake of the coming of ruling and reigning
to be set forth in Zion. And to speak frankly – that which calls itself “the
apostolic and prophetic movement” will be shaken to the uttermost in its
blatant shallowness and repulsive self-seeking.
