GARDEN OF EDEN RESTORED
“For HE HAS PUT ALL
THINGS IN SUBJECTION UNDER HIS FEET. But when He says, "All things are put
in subjection," it is evident that He is excepted who put all things in
subjection to Him.” 1 Cor. 15:27
Divine restoration of all creation back to the original
order. vs. 25-28.
The Kingdom being given by the Father to the Son of Man, we
can, keeping this fact in view, appreciate the fact stated in 1 Cor. 15:27-28,
viz: "But when He saith, All things
are put under Him, it is manifested that He is excepted, which did put all
things Under Him," etc. As this point will be brought up under the
perpetuity of the Kingdom, it is only necessary to add, that a Theocracy in the
very nature of the case, as seen in the form of the Kingdom, in its past
history as given, and in the manner of its future restoration under David's Son
must ever retain the position of being subordinate to the Divine Will of the
Father as the creation began. This Theocratic idea Paul seeks to impress, and
this very subordination is essential to our doctrine of the Kingdom, being
indicative of a Theocracy here on earth.
This subordination is manifested in the investiture as
described by Daniel 7, and will be
most strikingly exhibited at "the
holy mount." The place of public inauguration by "the Ancient of Days."
