This is a profound mystery — but I am talking about Christ
and the church. Ephesians 5:32

1. Why did God “begin” this order?
2. How was it initiated?
3. Who initiated it? /Who was Creation Order
responsible for every order?

When Church Order started?
1. The Church had its origin on the day of Pentecost.
Pentecost, also called the Feast of Weeks, of Harvest, or
of Firstfruits, was kept on the 50th day after the
Passover and lasted one day.

Meaning for the Church take it before the ungodly for judgment instead
of before the saints”? 1 Corinthians 6:1.
According to Smith's Bible Dictionary:
1. The derivation of the word is generally said to be from the Greek kuriakon
"belonging to the Lord.” But the derivation has been too hastily assumed.
2. It is probably connected with kirk, the Latin circus, circulus, the Greek kuklos
because the congregations were gathered in circles.
3. The word Church comes from the Greek word "ecclesia" which means "Assembly"
or a congregation of "called out ones". “Ecclesia” the Greek word for church,
originally meant an assembly called out by the magistrate, or by legitimate
authority.
It was in this last sense that the word was adapted and applied by the writers of the
New Testament to the Christian congregation.
Warran Wiersbe writes, “The "kingdom of heaven" is a mixture of good and evil, true and false.
It is not the church. The church is in the kingdom of heaven, but distinct from it. The kingdom
of heaven is equivalent to our term "Christendom."
The Greek word in the New Testament for our English word “church” is ekklesia. It is derived
from the verb ekkaleo. The compound ek means “out,” and kaleo means “to call or summon.”
Thus, the literal meaning is “to call out.”

Kingdom of God to the Church
“And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the
gates of Hades will not overcome it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of
heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you
loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” Matthew16:18-20

confession -
"You are the KINGDOM Jesus said. CHURCH

Matthew 16:18-19
Matthew 16:16


“To call out” from where and for what?
Is it called out from Kingdom of Satan or from Kingdom of God?
According to Jesus in Matthew 16:13-15 “I will build my church” from
this “rock” which is Kingdom of God not Jesus Christ.
It is from the Greek word "petros" that the word
Peter is taken. "Petros" in the Greek means a stone,
Kingdom the small fragment of a rock, while the Greek word
of Satan "Petra" means a rock, or large mass of stone.

Church (Bride) is called out from

Kingdom of Satan.

Paul’s letters and the Book of Revelation are the key

The Bible is a Christ-centred book.
1. The Old testament is the preparation for his life,
2. The Gospels a manifestation of his life,
3. The book of Acts a propagation of his life, and
4. The Epistles an explanation of his life.

The overriding theme of the epistles is Christ and his
Church.
1. Most of these books are addressed to local
congregations (Galatians, Romans, 1 and 2
Thessalonians, 1 and 2 Corinthians, Ephesians,
Philippians, Colossians).
2. Some are directed toward pastors of local churches
(1 and 2 Timothy, Titus), while others are written
3. To individual members in the local congregation
(Philemon).

“One Flesh” - Ephesians 5:25-33

1. Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and
gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the
washing with water through the word, and to present her to
himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other
blemish, but holy and blameless.
2. After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares
for it, just as Christ does the church— for we are members of his
body.

“For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united
to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.”
This is a profound mystery — but I am talking about Christ
and the Church.

Responsibilities in the Church order
Ephesians 4: The Oneness of the Church
1. A complex organism, with many parts, each in its own place and with its own function,
working together in harmony.
2. Its basic principle is love, while Christ Himself is its head and directive force.
3. Purpose of the body is to nurture each of its members into the perfect image of Christ

Where was Apostle Paul, Church or Kingdom of God? We can be
one place at
a time. In the
Paul was working for and preaching about Kingdom of Church or in
God and Church but he was in the Church of God. the Kingdom
of God.
• Paul wrote, “I have gone preaching the kingdom of God” Acts 20:25
• Boldly and without hindrance he preached the kingdom of God and taught about
the Lord Jesus Christ. Acts 28:31
• Therefore, among God’s churches we boast about your perseverance and faith in all
the persecutions and trials you are enduring. All this is evidence that God’s
judgment is right, and as a result you will be counted worthy of the kingdom of God,
for which you are suffering. 2 Thessalonians 1:4-5

2 Thessalonians 1: 4: “we” ourselves … in the churches of God
v 5 - that “you” may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God.
Therefore, Apostle Paul was in the Church (Bride) and the people of
Thessalonians were in the Kingdom of God.

The Book of Revelation
1. Revelation is the only prophetical book in the New Testament (in contrast to seventeen books in the
Old Testament).
2. Revelation is the only book in the entire Bible which begins by promising a special blessing on those
who study it, and ends by promising a special curse on those who add or take away from it.
3. It was written by John the apostle, who had already written four other New Testament books. They
are: The Gospel of John, 1 John, 2 John, and 3 John. The author had previously reached farther back
into eternity than any other Bible writer. In Revelation he reaches farther on into eternity than any
other writer.

Revelation is totally a book about God’s
Lamb. The book can thus be outlined as
follows:
A. The Witnesses of the Lamb Instructed
(1-3)
B. The Worship of the Lamb Invited (4-5
C. The Wrath of the Lamb Invoked (6-19)
D. The Reign of the Lamb Instituted (20)
E. The Wife of the Lamb Introduced (21-
22)


Revelation outline

1. We have three orders now, Creation order, Redemption order and The Church order.
2. We can be in any one order/place at a time, not two or three.
3. During Rapture Church will go up first (Rev.4-5) but Kingdom of God will go through tribulation
for 3½ years and then Great tribulation for 3½ years Rev. 6-18).
4. During 1000 years all will not there (Rev. 20:5). Also there will be several rapture after Church
(Bride) has taken up.
5. When Jesus destroys the Kingdom of Satan and handover the Kingdom of God to the Father
(1Cor. 15) then the Church (Bride) comes down (Rev. 20-21).
6. Jesus and Church will be New Jerusalem but the people in Kingdom of God will be all over the
new World and they will bring their gifts to the New City ( Jerusalem) (Rev. 21:24).

Kingdom of God in Revelation

1. 9:4 - They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any plant or tree,
but only those people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads.
2. 9:20 - The rest of mankind that were not killed by these plagues still did not
repent of the work of their hands; they did not stop worshiping demons, and
idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood-idols that cannot see or hear or
walk.
3. 11:15 - The seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and there were loud voices in
heaven, which said: "The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of
our Lord and of his Christ, and he will reign forever and ever."
4. 12:11 - They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their
testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.
5. 14:4 - These are those who did not defile themselves with women, for they
kept themselves pure. They follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They were
purchased from among men and offered as firstfruits to God and the Lamb.


Rapture of the Church
1. Christ's coming "for" His Saints, and "with" His
Saints. The former is called the "Rapture" the
latter the "Revelation."

seven years, during which the Church is
"judged,” and the "Marriage of the Lamb"

of many things.

The "Destiny" of the Church
Everyone likes a story that has a happy ending. The story of the church has such a
happy ending. The Bridegroom gets the bride and together they live happily
ever after! The glorious destiny of the church is as follows:
A. To be caught up by the Bridegroom at the rapture (1 Cor. 15:51-53; 1 Thess.
4:15-17; Rev. 4:1).
B. To be examined and rewarded at the judgment seat of Christ (Rom. 14:10-12; 1
Cor. 3:13; 2 Cor. 5:10).
C. To be united with Christ at the marriage service of the Lamb (2 Cor. 11:2; Eph.
5:22-32; Rev. 19:7, 8).
