A Message to the Bride — Phil Beach Jr.

Christ’s Yearning for His Beloved

This portion of Scripture corresponds perfectly to what the Holy Spirit is saying to us now at this moment. The Holy Spirit, during our time of praise and worship, was so eagerly, oh my, how we sensed such a yearning, not in our hearts, it wasn't the yearning that we were expressing for God, but it was the yearning that the Holy Spirit was disclosing to us, that Christ has for us, His beloved.

We are bone of His bone. We are no longer seen by Christ as the rejected, cursed seed. That's what we are in Adam. That's why we ought to pray God give us a contempt, a hatred for the old life. Christ doesn't see us.

He already bore the penalty. Why hast thou forsaken me? That was the cry of Christ. But it was the cry of Christ bearing the curse of all the Adam race, all humankind. God has eternally forsaken man on the basis of who he is in himself.

But our beloved no longer sees the household of faith, those redeemed, as the cursed seed of Adam. But He sees us as the very fruit of His loins, the very work of His cross. He sees us as those in whom He can say, there they are, the fruit of my travail, related to God, related to God.

We are related to the Father through Christ. Christ came possessing the divine nature, the holy seed of God. And now He communicates that to us. There's only one seed. There's only one nature. God in Christ.

And now Christ in His church. We are all related now to God in Christ. And He has a passion for us. A passion for us. He delights in you. Not because He found anything attractive in you, in yourself. It's not because He looked down and saw something appealing in you.

No. He sees in you what He saw in His Son. And it's because of that new life that God loves you as His Son. Or if we could just get delivered from assuming that we stand before God on the basis of anything that we are.

You cannot approach God on the basis of what you are. God does not love humankind for the sake of loving humankind. God loves us because He foresaw Christ and who Christ would be, what Christ would do, and what Christ would become unto us.

It's on the basis of Christ that God loves us. What emancipation comes when the soul is freed from the lie of trying to find the basis of God accepting it because of what it can do. Beloved, all praise goes to the Son.

All heaven revolves around worshiping the Lamb who has made us worthy, who has caused us to approach God. God's passion for you and I this morning is because He has placed us in His Son. And now there is that life in us that God seeks to bring to maturity.

A Vision of the King in Psalm 45

Which is a life that will perfectly please Him through the power of the Holy Spirit. Psalm 45. My heart is indicting a good matter. I speak of the things which I have made touching the King. Oh that God would give us this kind of a passion for the King.

Do you love Him? Thou art fairer than the children of men. Grace is poured into thy lips. Therefore God hath blessed thee forever. We need a vision of the King. We need a vision of Jesus. We need to see that Jesus is fairer than the children of men.

We need to see that Christ is more lovely than any flesh. As the song says, I dare not trust the sweetest frame but wholly lean on Jesus' name. My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus' blood and righteousness.

There is not another like Him. There is not another like Him, beloved. The fairest man, the fairest woman, the sweetest voice, the kindest countenance is as darkness compared to a glimpse of the King.

It was a vision of the King that apprehended the early church and brought them into a place of union with that King that enabled them to live lives that were unsoiled by this world, untouched by the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience.

It was a vision of the King. It was a vision of the King that so apprehended them that they died. They died. They died to the comeliness of what they were. Their beauty suddenly faded. They no longer walked on the basis of who they were.

They no longer esteemed themselves on the basis of what they were. They saw all their life now in relation to that lovely King that sat at the throne of Almighty God. They saw that now He was their life.

He was their righteousness. He was their power. He was their purity. They saw the King who was fairer than ten thousand. They saw Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God. They saw the one who God spoke from heaven and said, This is my beloved Son.

Hear ye Him. Oh, how we need a cessation of voices in the church today. There is too much of the voice of man. There is too much of the voice of flesh going throughout the church seducing God's people.

But God's word says that His beloved, His bride, those who are His, those who are bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh, are discontent. There is a holy discontentment in this day today. There is a discontentment.

There is a shuffling. The beloved is saying, I want to hear the voice of my beloved. I want to hear His voice. I want to know Him. And He alone can satisfy me. Oh, that God would grant to us a stirring.

That God would grant to us a discontentment with people and things and activities. And that we would find rest and union and fellowship with the King of glory, the Lord Jesus. Is He fairer than all to you?

Has He captivated your heart, beloved? He longs to. He longs to. Thou art fairer than the children of men. Grace is poured into thy lips. Oh, that we might know that the law came by Moses, but grace and mercy and truth came by the man Jesus Christ.

There's never been a graceful man but in Jesus Christ. There's never been one whose words are so filled with grace and truth than the words that come to us through Jesus Christ. And when we can come to Him in brokenness and allow His Spirit to quicken His Word, suddenly the Word of God becomes graceful to us.

It is no longer a book of commandments, do this and don't do that, but it is a book speaking to us the very words of God, communicating to us the very life of God. Rivers of living water flow from the verses of the Bible.

When the Bible is opened up and it becomes a book leading us to the graceful King who sits upon the throne of glory to whom all worship is being ascribed. Yes, beloved. Yes, beloved. This is the King.

This is the King of glory. And He is for you and I. Oh, I trust your heart is stirred. I trust you're hungry for God. I trust there's nothing, nothing, that would stand in the way of you and Jesus Christ.

Christ’s Blessing and the Church’s Dependence

As we continue to read Psalm 45, we're going to discover that this King, the King of heaven, the King of kings, the Lord of lords, the greater David, the greater Solomon, the true seed that will reign forever and ever and ever.

We're going to see that His heart is made known. And He speaks to you and I very plainly in this Psalm. Let us continue. Gerb thy sword, while before we do that, verse 2, grace is poured into thy lips, therefore God hath blessed thee forever and ever.

Beloved, there is so much that we can speak on here as God gives utterance. Do you want the blessing of God upon your life? Do you seek the blessing of God? Cursed are the people who seek the blessing of God apart from Christ.

Cursed are the people who seek to be blessed of God but not through the merits of Jesus Christ. The Bible says that the blessing of God is pronounced upon Christ and only as His people come back to Him and relate themselves to Him and draw from His righteousness and His grace and draw from the beauty of His life will the blessing of God come back to the church.

As long as men are tooting their own horns and they are lifting up their voices of their own righteousness and they are busy doing the works of their own hands, God's blessing is removed and what is in the place of that blessing is nothing but a cheap counterfeit from hell.

That's what's in the midst of a people whose blessing is sought for in a way that is unrelated to the King of glory, the Lord Jesus Christ. You can't be blessed. You can't know the blessing of God. You can't walk with God and fellowship with God.

If Christ has been ostracized from your life, the church must wake up. Awake thou that sleepest and arise, and Christ shall give thee light. Christ is our blesser. Christ is the blessed one. Christ is the one in whom we must hide to have access to God.

It is Christ. It is the Son. It is the Holy One. It is the one who devils cry out and say, what have we to do with you? We know who you are. You're the blessed one. You know, the seven sons of Sceva came, and they thought they'd put a formula together.

And they went to a man possessed by a devil, and they said, in the name of Jesus Christ, whom Paul preaches, come out. And those devils lifted up their voices, and they said, Paul, we know, and Jesus, we certainly know, but who are you?

And they jumped on the man and almost killed him. And I say to you that the church today is calling out on the name of Jesus. They're calling out on the name of Paul, but they are not living in Christ, and the enemy is laughing.

He's laughing. God has chosen to place his blessing on Christ, the anointed one, and only as we come back to him in brokenness and humility and claim the merits of his death, claim the merits of his sacrifice for sin, claim the merits of his holy life communicated to us by the power of the Holy Spirit, claim the merits of his daily cleansing, claim the merits of his life, claim the power of the Spirit to deny and disown the life after the flesh and see that God has chosen one.

His name is Jesus Christ. He must come back to the assembly. He must come back to the people of God. He stands in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks, and his name is glorious, and his garments are white, and his lips are filled with righteousness, and he says, See me, church, I am the only basis upon which God can bless you, and I love you, but as many as I love are rebuked and chastened.

Therefore, hasten unto repentance, lest I take your candlestick and swoop it out of the way, and your light go out. Men cannot stand before God. Men cannot stand before devils. Men cannot stand before a wicked, cursing world on the basis of who they are.

But we must come back to the one who is exalted far above the heavens, far above the earth. His name, Emmanuel. That's what this season's all about. But let me tell you something, this season has become idolatry to the church.

You know, a few days ago I was praying about it, and my heart was groaning, and the Lord showed me how disappointed He is that His people will not even give up the externals. Not that He is necessarily asking them to, but that there would be a fight.

The whole idea of Christ and who He is and the significance of His birth is so mixed in with the lust for things and the desire for things that if God ever did ask His people to give up the whole thing and just wake up and say, Praise God, a Savior is born, a Son is given, and I am redeemed by the blood, they'd be disappointed.

Disappointed. Now, I want you to take these words from the Lord and don't say, What is He saying? Don't ask what I'm saying. What is God saying to you? I'm not your judge. I will not indict your conscience.

Let God lead you. The purpose of this short little exhortation in the midst of this parenthetical statement is not to communicate anything personal, but it's a burden from the Lord. It's what God is saying, and we all need to just listen and say, Lord, show me in Thy Word.

I want You alone to be King of kings. We must come back to Christ. And again, I say over and over again, I don't want to come across as scathing, but oh beloved, we need to know that the Lord Jesus is the only exalted One.

I cannot escape this burden. The blessing, the glory, the favor with God is absolutely related to and holy in Christ. We must come back to Him. We must see Him. A vision of Christ. A vision of Jesus Christ.

Christ’s Triumphant Reign in Psalm 45

And after the Bible says, therefore God hath blessed thee forever, the Bible goes on to say in verse number 3, gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty, and in thy majesty ride prosperously, because of truth and meekness and righteousness, and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.

We see here a beautiful picture of the glorious, triumphant reign of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and that this reign of righteousness, this reign of truth, this reign of glory, the sword upon His thigh, oh beloved, we need to see Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.

He is the King of kings and the Lord of lords. We can muse upon these words and the Lord can give us great understanding. We won't go into them extensively now because we want to get down to verse number 9 and 10 and 11 in order to show what the Lord's burden is for His people in this late hour.

God desires us, He seeks us, but it's only on the basis of Christ. It's only on the basis of Christ. Okay, beloved, shall we continue here now and just read. Thine hours are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies, whereby the people fall unto thee.

Oh, that we might have revealed to us the arrows that are there in the hand of the Lord Jesus Christ. The arrows speak of His Word. They speak of the purity of His Word. The Bible says in Revelation chapter 1 that a sharp two-edged sword proceeds out of His mouth.

The Bible speaks in Revelation chapter 19 as the one who comes on a white horse and He has a great sword proceeding out of His mouth and by this sword He smites the nations. Oh, how we need to be related to Him.

How we need to know Him and love Him. Oh, dear Holy Spirit, grant it. And by these arrows the king's enemies are slain and the people fall unto Thee. Oh, what a picture here we see. Here we see victory over the world in sin, but it's not through some kind of a dead theology or some kind of three stages of a theology.

It is an unveiling and a revelation of Jesus Christ. It is a seeing of Him and a relatedness to Him through the power of the Holy Spirit. It is the Spirit of God quickening within the heart of the believer a realization of Christ is my life, the triumphant one, the one in whom God says there is no wickedness in Him.

There's the life that's mine. I can know it. Yes, I can. Sure, we're compassed about with garments of weakness, beloved. We have bodies of death. We have a disposition in us that is altogether corrupt, but greater is He that is in you.

What about a vision of Christ? What about the fact that if any man be in Christ, he is a new creation? All things are passed away. Behold, all things become new. Yes, beloved, you have been given an exceedingly, abundantly greater life than the life that you have in the flesh.

It's the life in Christ. And glory be to God, Paul says, there is now therefore no condemnation to them who are in Christ. For the Spirit of the law in Christ Jesus has set me free, loosed me, untied me, delivered me, liberated me from what?

The law of sin and death which operates in the flesh. I say yes, we are weak in the flesh, but praise God, we're strong in Christ. Yes, we are prone to sin in the flesh, but praise God, he that abideth in Christ sinneth not.

Do you see it? Do you see it? Yes, we are weak and feeble, but Paul says, finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. So to every problem in the flesh we have a corresponding answer in Christ.

Whereas we are inclined to sin in the flesh, we are inclined not to sin in Christ. Whereas in the flesh we are inclined to doubt, in Christ we can have the faith of Christ. Whereas we are inclined to drift in the flesh, in Christ we are inclined to stand firm upon the rock.

Any need that you have, any kind of weakness that you have in the flesh, you can by faith find something in Christ that'll counteract that weakness so that you don't need to be a slave to it. Oh yes, I'm not talking about annihilation now, I'm not talking about ceasing from being human, but I'm talking about a life of victory now in Christ.

But notice where it is. It is in Christ Jesus. Yes, beloved. It's ours. It's ours. God's gonna send it. The Lord's gonna do it. Day and day and day. Day after day after day. The Lord has not let me rest in my spirit.

In my spirit where the Holy One dwells. The One who is, I can't believe it. I can't believe it. He is so holy and righteous and so strong and mighty. If He ever for one second turned me over to myself, I would fall quicker than a stone coming down a mountain.

I would go down quicker than a millstone in the ocean. Yes, I would. I would fall so quickly, I'd probably create some kind of a terrible hole in the ground. Oh, I can't believe He is an anchor, is He not?

He holds us. He keeps us. He enables us. He strengthens us. He empowers us to do what we could never in a million years with all the help of religion and all the garments of Saul and all the armor of Saul.

We could never do what we could do in a moment by His enabling. One shall put a thousand to flight and two shall what? Ten thousand. There's Christ and His beloved. Oh, that we might see the exceeding abundant power that is toward us.

That same power that was toward Christ when God raised Him from the dead. Yes, beloved, yes. This is the inheritance of the church. This is it. Verse 6, Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever. The scepter of Thy kingdom is a right scepter.

Christ as God’s Throne and the Church’s Freedom

God has established His throne. God has established His throne in the man, Christ Jesus. What a mystery. God has found a man in whom He has perfect, 100 freedom to be God without the man raising up and trying to steal from God.

This is the mystery of Christ. A man, a different kind of man, but a man in whom God can say, There's my throne. Now, He is deity. He is God. But the mystery of being a man demonstrates to the church, to the principalities and powers, God has finally found His resting place, the place of His throne.

And this is what Zion is typifying. And now we are related to that man being bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh, so now that God wants Christ to find His resting place in His people. Jesus, the throne of God is found in Christ.

That doesn't get proud. A kind of life, a kind of man who God says I've given everything to the Son and the Son says nothing is mine, all belongs to the Father. Now, how many of us on the basis of what we are in ourself could have anything given to us, anything, without getting a hold of it and then trying to find a way in order for it to somehow advance our own cause?

You don't find that in Jesus. You don't find that in Jesus. You find a man. You find a different kind of man. You find a man who only operates on the basis of God's nature. He embodied the divine nature.

He showed us what it was like for a man to be controlled by the divine nature and not controlled by the nature that he gets through his new birth. What triumph! What glory! And then Peter comes along and says, now in His mercy He has made us to be partakers.

That word there means a sharer together with. So we are sharers with Christ, together with Christ of the divine nature. We do not become deity. We become men indwelt by the divine nature. That divine nature is Christ Himself.

And in that nature, Jesus says, the wicked one has nothing. Nothing. No ground. That nature. Christ is where God's reign is. And that reign now though is inwardly. It's not visible to the eye. Yet there's coming a day when everything shall be subject to and in harmony with God in Christ.

What glory! The nations will learn righteousness. The high ones, the mighty ones, the rebels, the God-haters will be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His coming when He shall come to be glorified in His saints and to be admired in all them that believe.

Yes. Yes. All things are subject to Christ. And though we don't see that right now in this world, yet we see the fact that God has promised and what God has promised cannot and will not be frustrated.

Oh, beloved, there's so much hope and joy and peace in Jesus Christ. It will give you a lot to think about. Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever. The scepter of Thy kingdom is a right kingdom. Oh, I tell you, whenever I think about a throne, I think about Jesus.

And whenever I think about Jesus, I think about the man of God's own choosing. And then whenever I think about the man of God's own choosing, I think about myself and say, Why me? Why, Lord? Why, O God?

And then I think about Jesus. That's why. Because God saw us in Christ. Beloved, every one of us, if we're children of God this morning, has to come to this place, if we're ever going to grow spiritually, where we see everything related to the King in heaven.

You'll get so free, you'll think it's unlawful. You'll think it's a sin to be so free. You'll probably for a while look for some kind of bondage just to feel secure. You're so free! You're free! You're free from yourself!

You're free from looking to find something in you! You see Jesus, and then you see you as being with Him, in Him, hidden in Him, lost in Him. I ascribe His righteousness. I ascribe His blood, all glory.

What freedom! And whenever that freedom turns into license, you're deceived because it's not a freedom to sin. It's not a freedom to backslide. It's not a freedom to manifest or fulfill the lusts of the flesh.

But it is a freedom to fight by the power of God against every devil, demon, and sin that comes to you and be triumphant in Christ. It's a freedom that liberates us from the weakness of the flesh and transfers us into the almighty power of God in Christ.

Freedom from Sin and the Necessity of Holiness

This idea of freedom to continue to sin was belched out of hell. And Paul vehemently stood against it in Romans chapter 6, in Romans chapter 7. That was so far from his heart. That was so far from the revelation of God in Christ.

And the very thought angered him. The very thought caused his blood to boil in Christ. Paul oftentimes went from the lamb to the lion. All the meekness of Christ. When he was with the saints, he was base and humble.

He didn't want to rebuke. He didn't want to chasten. He wanted to wash the feet of the saints. That was because he got so much of Jesus. And that's the way Jesus is with his beloved. But I tell you, you just start playing and flirting with sin or you start getting the old man and his deeds in the church and that affects the heart of God so severely, I cannot communicate it.

Because it is those things that sent Christ to the cross. That's why he stood on the cross and he was slain. And he sweat drops of blood. It was for those things. And then those things, free course in the church, that's crucifying the Son of God afresh.

That's walking and trampling on his blood. That's why whenever Paul sensed it, he smelt it. Not with his nose, but with his spiritual senses. Whenever he sensed that the devil was doing this, I tell you, he had to watch it because that lamb turned into a lion and he said, Shall I come with meekness or with a rod?

That's what he said. And it wasn't the wrath of man he was threatening them with. Let me tell you, it was the judgment of the lion of the tribe of Judah. And he was vindicated because 30 years after he died, John the Beloved came up with the book of Revelation and Jesus showed himself very clearly to the church as that lion that Paul oftentimes got a little taste of.

I mean, there it was in full panoramic view. The one who says, I'll kill the children, spiritually speaking. The one who says, I'll remove your candlestick. Yes. Paul wrestled with that aspect of the Christ.

He preferred to walk among God's people with praise and commendation and encouragement, love believes all things, love hopes all things. He wanted to walk in that revelation because he understood that of all people, he received mercy upon mercy upon mercy.

He understood it. But he was constrained though by God that when God's heart began to boil and he had to deal with things in the church, he had to. And this is the hour that we stand at even this very moment in the church of Jesus Christ.

God's love is an everlasting love toward those that are his. But he cannot and will not place his blessing upon a people whose focus is somehow removed and the enemy comes in and as Paul said, the enemy seduces the mind as he did Eve and they depart from the simplicity of Christ is all my righteousness and he is my life.

And they somehow begin to serve God on the basis of themselves and they sweat. You know, the Bible says that the priests couldn't wear garments that caused them to sweat. And what that means is that God says in his house there's no work that's going to go on that's not directly by the Holy Ghost.

Because when we start sweating, that indicates man is in there with his power and his might and his wisdom and his doing and all of his religious garments. And God says the priesthood is being corrupted.

The sure quick way for the priesthood to be corrupted is let the priests start wearing garments that make them sweat. And you'll find in a very short time the Lord is going to react against it. He'll react against it.

He has to. It's his character. Can God be anything but God? Listen, if man in his natural state can't be anything but man, how much more cannot God be anything but God? If we see the history of humankind and we see that there's none righteous, no, not one, that we're all sinners, that no one has ever approached God and produced out of their own nature anything that could compare with what Christ is.

If we've seen a consistency that hasn't failed in one iota about humanity, God's creation, but seduced by Satan's sin, how much more can we be assured that God says, I am the Lord and I change not? How much more can we know that God cannot change?

Oh yes, we see God smiling on his people. We do. The blessing is there, but only as the people are looking to Jesus. You cannot disassociate it. You cannot see the smiling face of God apart from the life and blood and merits of Jesus Christ imputed to and made good daily by the Holy Ghost and the people.

You cannot do it. You remove one, you remove the other. You remove Christ, you remove Psalm 45, verses 1 through 4, and you remove God's blessing, you remove God's approval, you remove God's moving, and you have a people turned over to themselves on the basis of themselves and you get emotionalism, fanaticism, legalism, dead orthodox, false doctrines, demonic powers giving people visions, dreams, feelings, ecstatic relations or experiences.

The whole nine yards comes in, but you don't have the blessing of God. You don't. And it's a subtle thing that happens, comes in, but the trumpet is sounding and God's people are being warned. God will not have it.

God will not have it. He will not have it. That's the quickest way to see the lion of the tribe of Judah suddenly appear in lieu of the lamb. You want to see the lamb changed to a lion? Desecrate the house of God.

Desecrate it. You say, well, how do you desecrate the house of God? Introduce into the house something that adds to or takes from Jesus Christ. Go ahead, bring it into the church. Bring it into your homes.

God will give a season of grace and mercy. God will give a season of turn from your sin, but God also changes seasons of mercy and grace into judgment. If God allowed that trash in his house, he would have to look at his son and say, good job, Jesus, but not good enough.

Good job, Christ, but we're going to add a little bit to your work. Now, I know it costs you your life, and I know that you bore the iniquity of the world, and I know that for a moment you even bore the wrath of hell.

Well, I don't understand it, but I know Jesus did. Just a few days ago, as I was praying, the Lord was showing me Christ never sinned, but he experienced sin. Now, you figure that out. He never sinned.

He was holy, undefiled, separate from sinners, a writer of Hebrews, yet he was made sin. So that tells me that my Jesus never sinned, but has experienced the sin of the world. I've experienced the sin of Phil, and it makes me not able to even lift my head up to God.

Though I despise the fall of hell, yet I know that it's a righteous thing if God casts me in hell. I know it is. Not now, because I'm a new creation. Glory to God. I'm in Christ. But on the basis of Phil, if I was void of Christ, it would be righteous for God to cast me in hell.

It would be righteous, and that's only because I've awakened to my own sin. But what about Christ's sin? The iniquity of us all, Isaiah said, was laid upon him, and it wasn't just some kind of a superficial laying.

His soul became a sin offering, the Bible says. Though essentially in his nature he was free from sin, yet somehow, somehow he became sin, and it wasn't just a casual thing. It wasn't where he became sin, but was somehow removed from it.

Not so. He touched it. He felt it. He experienced it. And it wasn't the sin of one person. It was the iniquity of us all. How could God allow anything to add to or to take from the finished work of Jesus Christ?

He could never do it. It is an impossibility. Though Satan would love it to be so, it's an impossibility. God is pleased with his Son. The work is done, and for eternity it shall stand as the way, the only way to God, as far as humanity's concerned, the only way to God as far as creation's concerned, the only way to be liberated from that curse of sin, from the defilement of iniquity.

So to think that we can introduce something into this relationship with God is blasphemy. And you know whose name is blasphemy? The beast. And you know who's behind it in the text? The beast, the Antichrist spirit.

Anything that takes from Christ, what he has done and who he is now in the presence of God, for us, anything that takes from that or adds to it, is Antichrist. It comes from the devil. And many, many assemblies and many preachers are under the spirit of Antichrist, and God, God, God, God, those many unwillingly, inadvertently, totally oblivious to the preaching of gospel, that if Paul sat in the congregation, he'd stand up and say, Where did you get that?

It wasn't from my writings, and it wasn't from the prophets' writings, because I knew the prophets. That's where I got the gospel from. He'd stand right up and say, Where did you get that? Where did you get that?

Get that out of the house of God. Call the people to Jesus Christ. Preach against sin. Lift up the Son of God. Get all that trash out of the house of God. That's what he would say, because it's a gospel that's adding to and taking from, and it's not anchored in Christ Jesus himself.

Hebrews 1 and Psalm 45: The Throne of the Son

Chapter 1. You know where that verse is. Hebrews chapter 1. Hebrews chapter 1. This is a quote. Here's chapter 1. Verse number 9. Verse number 8. But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever.

A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of thy kingdom. You see, the writer of Hebrews is quoting from Psalm 45 here. Psalm 45 verse 6. Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever. A scepter of thy kingdom is a right scepter.

See, the writer of Hebrews was indicating that the throne from which God will rule the eternal ages to come is in his Son, Jesus Christ. What glory! I mean, you can't separate the throne from Christ. You can't do it.
