God's Throne Comes to the Earth
Man has been created to be the Throne of God. There was a rebellion in Heaven among the angels. Rather than moving immediately and destroying the rebels, the Father, in his infinite wisdom, created from the dust of the earth a new race, the race of mankind.
It is God’s plan to make kings and judges from the new race—judges who will pass judgment on the rebellious angels as well as on people. Because these saints have been faithful under very trying circumstances, they are the guarantee that never again will there be a rebellion against God. This is the master plan. It must be the background for our perception when we think about the Kingdom of God.
It is not to angels that he has subjected the world to come, about which we are speaking. But there is a place where someone has testified: “What is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him? You made him a little lower than the angels; you crowned him with glory and honor and put everything under his feet.” In putting everything under him, God left nothing that is not subject to him. Yet at present we do not see everything subject to him. (Hebrews 2:5-8)
Notice carefully: “God left nothing that is not subject to him.” We are speaking here of absolute authority, the authority given to the Lord Jesus Christ and those who are part of his Body, who are coheirs with him. It is all authority in Heaven and upon the earth.
Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in Heaven and on earth has been given to me. (Matthew 28:18—NIV)
In short, the Lord Jesus is the supreme Throne of God.
