The kingdoms of this world will be taken from their present rulers and become the eternal kingdoms of Christ.
According to Revelation and Les Feldick's teaching, Christ will return, destroy the nations that oppose Him, defeat the Antichrist, and set up a kingdom that will never end. The curse on the earth will be lifted, and He will reign as King of kings and Lord of lords over all the earth.
Daniel 7:14 — Shows the Son of Man receiving an everlasting kingdom over all peoples, nations, and languages.
Zechariah 14:9 — Declares that the LORD shall be King over all the earth.
Revelation 17:14 — Reveals the Lamb overcoming the nations that make war with Him as King of kings.
Zechariah 14:3 — Describes the Lord going forth to fight against the nations that gather against Jerusalem.
The Bible—through the prophets Daniel and Zechariah—paints a clear picture of what will happen to the kingdoms of this world. Daniel 7:14 declares that the Son of Man is given 'dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.' Zechariah 14:3 says that the Lord will 'go forth, and fight against those nations' that assemble against Jerusalem, and verse 9 adds: 'And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.' In the New Testament, Revelation 17:14 reveals that the ten kings/nations under the Antichrist 'shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings.' Revelation 19:16 also gives Christ the title 'KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS,' indicating that He will rule over all earthly powers.
Les Feldick teaches that we are approaching the moment when Christ will take the kingdoms of this world. He explains that the Gentile empires have dominated human history for 2,600 years, but the Son of God will come to 'smite these Gentile empires' and destroy them, setting up a kingdom 'which shall not pass away.' At the end of the tribulation, the Antichrist and false prophet are taken, and the nations that made war with the Lamb are overcome. Les also emphasizes that Christ will 'pay off the curse' that has been on the earth since Genesis 3, delivering the world from misery and suffering. He will then reign as King of kings over all the earth, with believers reigning alongside Him for a thousand years. Even after the brief release of Satan, the kingdom continues eternally into the new heaven and new earth.
Les Feldick teaches that the kingdoms of this world, now under Satan's dominion, will be taken by Christ at His second coming. After the seven-year tribulation, He will destroy the Gentile empires that have ruled over the earth. The book of Revelation records that the nations under the Antichrist will make war with the Lamb, but the Lamb will overcome them because He is 'Lord of lords and King of kings.'
At Christ's return, He must first deal with His archenemies. Les points out that the beast (the Antichrist) and the false prophet are taken, and the kings and armies that gathered in the Middle East to destroy Israel are themselves destroyed by the return of Christ. The surviving nations will later come to worship the King in Jerusalem.
Les Feldick explains that the world has been under a curse since Genesis 3. When Christ, the Lamb, takes the scroll from the Father, He is essentially taking the mortgage and paying it off. The curse is ended, and the earth can be delivered from its misery, preparing it for the appearance of His kingdom.
Yes. Les Feldick teaches from Scripture that believers who have trusted the Gospel will rule and reign with Christ. He states that the book of Revelation says we will reign with Him a thousand years on this earth. This is part of what it means for the kingdoms of the world to come under Christ's rule.
Les stresses that Christ's kingdom 'shall not pass away' and is eternal. Even though there will be an interruption when Satan is released for a little season, the kingdom continues on into the new heaven and new earth. Zechariah 14:9 confirms that the Lord will be King over all the earth.
