The Revelation of Jesus Christ
How the Birth of the Man-Child Establishes Divine Government to Deliver Creation from the Bondage of Corruption Until God Be All in All
Introduction
The revelation of Jesus Christ is more than the unveiling of a person; it is the unveiling of a purpose. From the beginning, the intention of God has been that His life would fill all things. Every covenant, every promise, every prophetic word has moved toward this single goal—that creation itself would be delivered from corruption and brought into the liberty of the children of God.
The manifestation of the sons is the key to this deliverance. When Paul spoke in Romans 8:19-21, he revealed both the event and the purpose: the sons of God appear so that creation might be set free. This is not a revelation of destruction but of restoration. The sons are not raised to rule over people but to govern by light, love, and righteousness. Their authority exists for reconciliation, not for domination.
From Genesis to Revelation, the story is one continuous thread—the seed of dominion planted in the beginning grows into the full fruit of reconciliation at the end. In Genesis, man is given authority; in the prophets, a child is born to carry the government of peace; in the apostles, the ministry of reconciliation is declared; and in the Revelation, the man-child rises to rule all nations until God is all in all.
This book follows that divine progression. It begins with the seed of dominion in Genesis and carries the reader through the prophets, the apostles, and finally to the fullness revealed in Christ. The purpose is to show that every stage of divine government exists for one reason—to deliver creation from corruption and restore the universe to perfect harmony in God. The Revelation of Jesus Christ unveils the divine purpose behind all creation—to manifest the sons who will reconcile heaven and earth in His image.
Chapter One — The Seed of Dominion
Genesis 1:26–28
In the beginning God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness, and let them have dominion over all the earth. Within this declaration lies the original seed of divine government. Dominion was never intended to be control through strength but stewardship through likeness. The image of God carries His nature, and likeness expresses His character. When image and likeness function together, dominion becomes the outflow of divine life.
The Nature of Dominion
Dominion is not possession; it is responsibility. It is the call to represent God’s heart in creation. Adam was not given ownership of the earth; he was given the authority to cultivate it in harmony with the Creator. True rule is creative partnership. God’s first act of government in man was to share His image so that man would rule the visible realm by the invisible life of God within him.
The fall corrupted this order. When Adam lost the likeness, dominion was distorted into domination. Man began to rule through fear rather than through love. The ground that once responded to blessing began to respond to toil. The seed of dominion became buried beneath the dust of self-will.
The Hidden Seed
Yet even in the fall, the seed remained. God never withdrew His purpose; He concealed it within promise. The image and likeness of God were not destroyed but hidden, awaiting redemption. Dominion would one day return—not through the strength of flesh but through the life of the Son.
The Prophetic Pattern
Every principle in Genesis becomes a prophecy of fulfillment in Christ. The seed of dominion planted in the garden is the same seed that grows into the manifestation of the sons in Romans 8. The earth that groaned under curse will one day rejoice under glory. Dominion begins in a single man made in God’s image, and it culminates in a corporate man, the body of Christ, expressing the fullness of that image throughout creation.
The Foundation of Government
All divine government flows from image and likeness. Where His nature is restored, authority is restored. Where His character rules, peace follows. The manifestation of the sons is the reappearance of this original order. It is the return of God’s likeness ruling the earth through redeemed humanity. The Revelation of Jesus Christ restores the original dominion of image and likeness, showing that true authority flows from divine nature, not human power.
Chapter Two — The Promise of the Seed
Genesis 3:15
After the fall, when the image was veiled and dominion was corrupted, God spoke a word that preserved the entire purpose of creation. He said, I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. Within that promise, the plan of redemption was hidden. The Seed of the woman would crush the head of the serpent and restore what was lost in Adam.
The War of Two Seeds
From that moment, two lines of life began to move through history: the earthly seed of Adam and the heavenly seed of Christ. The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second Man is the Lord from heaven. Every story, every covenant, and every prophet afterward points toward this battle between two natures. One carries corruption and death; the other carries incorruption and life.
This war is not fought between men but within humanity. It is the contest between two spiritual orders. The wickedness that must be destroyed is not the person but the Adamic nature within the person. The cross does not end humanity; it ends the nature that cannot inherit the kingdom of God.
The Preservation of Purpose
Though Adam fell, purpose did not. The promise of the Seed carried within it the certainty of restoration. Through one Seed, all creation would be blessed. The same word that pronounced judgment upon the serpent declared hope for man. Every generation afterward lived beneath that prophetic expectation—the coming of a Seed who would undo the curse and bring creation back into harmony.
The Revelation of the True Seed
When the fullness of time came, Christ appeared as the embodiment of that promise. He is the Seed of the woman, the second Adam, and the beginning of a new creation. In Him, dominion is purified; in Him, reconciliation begins. The purpose of the Seed is not merely victory over evil but the restoration of all things to their original design.
The Seed Principle
Every purpose of God begins with a seed. Within a seed lies both origin and destiny. The promise given in Genesis 3:15 is the first announcement of the gospel—the good news that what was lost will be restored. The manifestation of the sons is the full harvest of that original Seed. Christ is the pattern; the sons are the multiplication of that pattern until creation itself is delivered from the bondage of corruption. The Revelation of Jesus Christ reveals that the promised Seed would crush the serpent’s nature and bring all humanity back into union with God.
Chapter Three — The Covenant of Blessing
Genesis 12:3
The Lord said to Abram, In thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. With these words, God confirmed that His intention was never limited to one man or one nation but would extend to the entire creation. The covenant with Abraham was the continuation of the promise made in Eden—the Seed would now move through a lineage of faith. The blessing spoken over Abraham was not material only; it was the restoration of divine relationship and purpose.
The Blessing Defined
Blessing is not the possession of things but the impartation of life. When God blesses, He multiplies His nature. The true meaning of being blessed is to be aligned with divine intent. Abraham’s blessing was therefore spiritual before it was physical. He was chosen to carry the seed of reconciliation, the channel through which the knowledge of the Lord would cover the earth.
The Covenant Confirmed
In Genesis 22:18 God said again, In thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed. Paul later revealed in Galatians 3:16 that this Seed is Christ. The promise was never about natural descent but spiritual inheritance. Those who are of faith are counted as the seed of Abraham. The covenant of blessing was the prophetic shadow of the ministry of reconciliation.
The Expansion of Dominion
Through Abraham, the divine pattern of government begins to expand. Dominion now moves from a single man to a family, from a family to a nation, and from a nation to a kingdom of priests. The purpose remains unchanged—to bless all the families of the earth. Dominion exists for blessing. Authority exists for reconciliation.
The Faith Connection
Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. Faith connects the earthly to the heavenly. Through faith, Abraham entered into partnership with divine purpose. Every son who walks by faith carries the same blessing—the call to manifest the nature of God and to bring creation closer to deliverance.
The Prophetic Outcome
The covenant of blessing is the root of the promise Paul saw in Romans 8. The creation that waits in hope is responding to the faith of those who carry the blessing of Abraham. The same faith that believed for a son now believes for the manifestation of many sons. The covenant that began with one man will end with a company that fills the earth with the glory of God. Through the faith of Abraham, The Revelation of Jesus Christ declares that all nations shall be blessed through the Seed of reconciliation.
Chapter Four — The Prophets Declare a Child Born
Isaiah 9:6–7
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and the government shall be upon his shoulder. His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end.
Through Isaiah, the Spirit revealed that the answer to the fall of man and the corruption of creation would come through the birth of a child. This prophecy was more than a prediction of the birth of Jesus; it was a declaration of divine order returning to the earth. The government that was lost in Adam would now rest upon the shoulders of the Son.
The Government of Peace
The prophets saw a government unlike the kingdoms of men. It would not rule through force but through peace. Its expansion would not come through conquest but through righteousness. The peace of this kingdom is not the absence of conflict but the presence of divine order. When the Prince of Peace rules, everything returns to its proper place.
The Spirit of the Lord Resting Upon Him
Isaiah 11:2 describes the same child as the Branch upon whom the Spirit of the Lord shall rest. The sevenfold Spirit—wisdom, understanding, counsel, might, knowledge, the fear of the Lord, and the Spirit of the Lord Himself—defines the nature of divine government. Each aspect represents a dimension of the divine mind that brings creation into harmony.
Judgment as Restoration
The prophets also showed that judgment in God’s government is not punishment for people but the removal of corruption. When He judges, He separates darkness from light. Judgment is a cleansing, not a destruction. The result is the restoration of righteousness, where even the wolf dwells with the lamb and the earth is filled with the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.
The Corporate Fulfillment
Isaiah’s vision was not limited to a single person. The child born in Bethlehem becomes the pattern for a corporate son born from Zion. The same Spirit that rested upon Him now rests upon His body. The increase of His government continues through the sons who bear His image. The government of peace expands until it fills the whole earth.
The Continuation of the Promise
From Genesis to the prophets, the same thread continues. The Seed promised in Eden now takes on prophetic form—the Son through whom the blessing will flow. The purpose remains unchanged: to reconcile creation, to restore dominion, and to bring all things under the rule of divine peace. The Revelation of Jesus Christ in the prophets foretold the coming of divine government—a kingdom of peace without end.
Chapter Five — The Travail of Zion
Isaiah 66:7–9
Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child. Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the Lord. Shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? saith thy God.
This prophecy reveals the mystery of divine birthing. Zion is not merely a city; she is the spiritual womb of God’s purpose in the earth. Within her, the seed of promise matures until it comes forth as a manifested company—the man-child. This birth is the emergence of divine government through a people who carry the life of the Son.
The Mystery of Spiritual Birth
Everything that God does in the earth comes through travail. Birth is the process by which what is conceived in spirit becomes visible in time. The man-child represents the transition from promise to fulfillment, from the seed to the full ear. This is not a single event but a divine process where the life of Christ takes form in His people.
The Purpose of Travail
Travail is not punishment; it is preparation. Zion’s pain produces purpose. The pressure of travail brings forth what could not be revealed in comfort. The sons are not birthed in ease but in obedience. Through travail, the nature of Christ is formed, and through manifestation, His government is revealed.
Micah 5:3–4
Therefore will he give them up, until the time that she which travaileth hath brought forth: then the remnant of his brethren shall return unto the children of Israel. And he shall stand and feed in the strength of the Lord.
Micah confirms the same pattern. A remnant arises through travail, standing in the strength of the Lord. The Shepherd-King who was promised now multiplies His nature in His flock. They feed in the majesty of the name of the Lord their God, and they abide secure. This is the establishment of divine rule in the earth.
The Birth of Government
When Zion brings forth the man-child, heaven’s order becomes earth’s reality. Dominion is restored, not through human power but through divine nature. The sons are born into authority because they are born of incorruptible life. The government that rests upon Christ now rests upon those who bear His image.
The Hope of Creation
The travail of Zion is the answer to the groaning of creation. As Zion labors, creation waits. As she brings forth, creation begins to rejoice. The manifestation of the sons is the fulfillment of this travail—the moment when the hidden life of God within His people becomes the light that delivers the world from corruption. The Revelation of Jesus Christ in Zion’s travail brings forth a company of sons who rule through love and restore all things to divine order.
Chapter Six — The Manifestation of the Sons
Romans 8:19–21
For the earnest expectation of the creation waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. For the creation was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope. Because the creation itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
This passage unveils the purpose behind every preceding promise and prophecy. From the seed in Genesis to the travail of Zion, the divine intention has remained the same: that creation itself might be delivered through the revelation of the sons. The manifestation of the sons is not an isolated event but the fulfillment of all things spoken from the foundation of the world.
The Meaning of Manifestation
To manifest means to make visible what was hidden. The life of God, once concealed within the sons, now becomes evident in their words, their works, and their nature. Manifestation is not the exaltation of man but the unveiling of Christ within man. The sons appear, not as rulers over creation, but as vessels through which creation encounters its Deliverer.
The Groaning of Creation
Paul personifies creation as one who groans in labor pains, longing for deliverance. This groaning is not despair; it is anticipation. Every sound of decay in the world is creation crying out for the sons to arise. The earth itself waits for the expression of divine life to appear through redeemed humanity.
The Purpose of the Sons
The sons are not revealed to destroy the world but to deliver it. Their authority exists for restoration. They carry the government of peace, the same order spoken by Isaiah, now made active through life rather than prophecy. Their manifestation signals the end of corruption’s dominion and the beginning of creation’s liberty.
The Glorious Liberty
Liberty in this context is not freedom to do as one pleases but freedom to be what God intended. Creation is freed when it is aligned with divine order. The glorious liberty of the children of God is the realm where everything functions in harmony with its Creator. This liberty is the fruit of reconciliation, the atmosphere of the kingdom.
The Connection to Purpose
Romans 8:19–21 is the foundation stone for understanding divine government. It joins manifestation with reconciliation, authority with love, and dominion with deliverance. The sons appear so that creation might be restored. This is the purpose of the man-child’s birth, the meaning of divine government, and the hope of every promise—until God be all in all. The Revelation of Jesus Christ in the sons delivers creation from corruption and reveals the liberty of divine life within all things.
Chapter Seven — The Ministry of Reconciliation
2 Corinthians 5:18–19
And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to Himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; to wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
This passage reveals the purpose behind every act of redemption. God’s goal was never separation but union. Through Christ, He brought humanity back into harmony with Himself, and through the sons, He extends that harmony into all creation. The ministry of reconciliation is not a side work of the gospel—it is the heartbeat of divine government.
The Nature of Reconciliation
To reconcile is to restore relationship, to make peace where division once ruled. Reconciliation is the removal of every barrier that stands between God and His creation. It is not about forgiving isolated offenses; it is about transforming nature. The Adamic mind is replaced by the mind of Christ, and the old world of estrangement gives way to the new world of communion.
God in Christ
The phrase God was in Christ unveils the mystery of divine initiative. Reconciliation begins in God, not in man. Humanity did not climb back to heaven; heaven descended to humanity. God entered His own creation to restore it from within. What He accomplished in Christ individually, He will now fulfill corporately through His sons.
The Word and Ministry of Reconciliation
Paul distinguishes between the word and the ministry of reconciliation. The word declares the truth; the ministry demonstrates it. The sons of God are entrusted with both. They do not merely speak of reconciliation—they embody it. Their presence brings peace, their words release healing, and their lives reveal the character of the Father.
The Government of Love
True government operates through reconciliation. Authority without love becomes tyranny; love without authority becomes sentiment. The sons rule through both—love expressed as order, and order expressed as love. When the sons govern by reconciliation, judgment restores rather than destroys, and dominion becomes the expansion of peace.
The Continuation of Christ’s Work
As the Father sent the Son, so the Son sends the sons. The same Spirit that reconciled the world through Jesus now works through His body. Each act of mercy, every word of forgiveness, every deed of restoration is the outworking of this ministry. Through the sons, God continues His reconciling work until creation reflects His nature in fullness.
The Goal of Reconciliation
The ministry of reconciliation points toward one ultimate outcome: that nothing remains outside of God’s harmony. When every realm is reconciled and every heart restored, the prayer of Jesus—Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven—will be complete. The Revelation of Jesus Christ reveals that government flows through reconciliation—authority that heals rather than destroys.
Chapter Eight — The Subduing of All Things
1 Corinthians 15:24–28
Then cometh the end, when He shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when He shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. For He must reign, till He hath put all enemies under His feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. For He hath put all things under His feet. But when He saith all things are put under Him, it is manifest that He is excepted, which did put all things under Him. And when all things shall be subdued unto Him, then shall the Son also Himself be subject unto Him that put all things under Him, that God may be all in all.
This passage unveils the ultimate purpose of manifestation and reconciliation—the complete restoration of divine order throughout creation. Paul shows the progression of government: Christ reigns until every opposing power and corrupt influence is brought beneath His feet. The rule of the Son is not endless domination but purposeful restoration leading to the surrender of all things back to the Father.
The Nature of Subduing
To subdue is not to destroy but to bring into alignment. In divine context, subduing means transforming chaos into harmony. Every enemy of righteousness—death, corruption, darkness, and the carnal mind—is subdued through the life of Christ. The end of subduing is not the absence of creation but the perfection of it.
The Order of Dominion
Christ reigns through His body, the corporate Man-Child, until the work of reconciliation is finished. His rule is delegated through the sons who manifest His life in every sphere. This reign is the continuation of the dominion mandate from Genesis, now purified of self-will. The government of God increases until every realm reflects His righteousness and peace.
The Destruction of Death
Death is not merely the end of physical life; it is the condition of separation from God. The last enemy to be destroyed is therefore the last veil that hides life’s fullness. When death is swallowed up, mortality gives way to immortality, and creation enters the liberty of the glory of the sons of God. This is the victory of life over corruption.
The Completion of Purpose
When all things are subdued, the Son delivers the kingdom to the Father. This act is not abdication but consummation. The Son’s reign accomplishes its goal—reconciliation complete, creation restored, every heart brought into union with divine life. Dominion fulfills its purpose when it becomes pure relationship.
That God May Be All in All
This phrase captures the end of all divine intention. The journey from Genesis to Revelation moves toward this single reality: God filling everything with Himself. There will be no division between heaven and earth, spirit and matter, Creator and creation. The glory that began in seed form within man will fill the entire cosmos. The manifestation of the sons finds its fulfillment when every realm reflects the nature of the Father.
The Eternal Harmony
When God is all in all, the cycle of redemption is complete. Dominion returns to its source, and love reigns without resistance. This is not the end of existence but the beginning of eternal harmony—the universe alive in the life of God. The Revelation of Jesus Christ fulfills the purpose of dominion until every realm is reconciled and God is all in all.
Chapter Nine — The Birth of the Corporate Son
Revelation 12:1–5
And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars. And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to His throne.
This vision reveals the culmination of all that began in Genesis. The woman represents Zion, clothed in light, crowned with divine authority, and ready to bring forth the corporate expression of Christ in the earth. The man-child is not a single individual but a company of overcomers born out of the womb of the Church. These sons carry the authority of divine government and the character of the Lamb.
The Heavenly Sign
The wonder in heaven signifies a spiritual reality taking place within the body of Christ. Heaven is not a distant realm; it is the sphere of divine order. The woman’s position clothed with the sun represents a people fully covered by the righteousness of Christ, standing in the brilliance of revelation. The crown of twelve stars depicts governmental perfection—a body rightly ordered under divine authority.
The Travail of Birth
Zion’s travail reaches its climax in this chapter. What began in promise now comes forth in power. The travail that once produced prophets now produces sons. The pain of transition gives way to the joy of manifestation. The man-child represents the emergence of divine government through a mature company that has come to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.
The Rod of Iron
To rule all nations with a rod of iron does not mean oppression but unbreakable righteousness. Iron speaks of incorruptible strength—government founded on truth that cannot bend to compromise. This rule restores rather than destroys. It brings divine order to every realm where chaos once reigned.
Caught Up to God and to His Throne
The catching up of the man-child is symbolic of enthronement. To be caught up to God and to His throne is to share in divine authority. The throne represents the seat of spiritual rule—the consciousness of union with God. The sons are not escaping the earth; they are ascending in nature, ruling from a higher dimension of life while remaining present as the expression of heaven in the earth.
The Conflict of Realms
Immediately after the birth, war arises in heaven. The dragon seeks to devour what has been born, but the life of the Son cannot be consumed by death. This depicts the confrontation between the Adamic and the Christ nature, between the carnal system and the spiritual kingdom. The sons prevail because they overcome by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, loving not their lives unto death.
The Establishment of Divine Government
The birth of the corporate Son marks the full restoration of the dominion lost in Adam. Through these overcomers, the government of God becomes tangible. They reign in life, not as lords over men, but as ministers of reconciliation who heal the nations. The same authority given to Christ in resurrection now flows through His body in manifestation.
The Prophetic Continuation
The story does not end with the man-child’s ascension; it begins there. From that place of union, the sons execute the purpose of reconciliation revealed in Romans 8 and 1 Corinthians 15. They are the instrument through which creation is delivered, death is destroyed, and God becomes all in all. The woman’s travail has birthed the government of life. The Revelation of Jesus Christ reaches its power in the birth of the corporate Son, a company caught up to God and to His throne.
Chapter Ten — The Fullness of Reconciliation
Revelation 21:1–5
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself shall be with them, and be their God. And He that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new.
The end of Revelation is not the end of the world but the renewal of it. The new heaven and new earth describe a creation purified of corruption and filled with divine life. The purpose of every promise, every covenant, and every manifestation finds completion here: reconciliation made perfect. The distance between Creator and creation is gone; the dwelling of God is now with men.
God Dwelling in Man
From the beginning, the heart of God was to dwell within His creation. In Eden, He walked with man; in Christ, He walked among men; in the New Jerusalem, He dwells within man. The journey of redemption has always been God finding His home in humanity. The sons are not merely servants in His house—they are the house itself, living stones built together for a habitation of His Spirit.
The End of Corruption
When the new heaven and new earth appear, the bondage of corruption is fully broken. Death, sorrow, crying, and pain pass away because the former things are dissolved in life. What began as deliverance in Romans 8 now reaches its consummation. Creation no longer groans—it sings. Every element of existence reflects the glory of its Maker.
The River and the Tree of Life
Revelation 22 opens with the river of life flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb. On either side of the river stands the tree of life, bearing twelve manner of fruits and yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. This is reconciliation in motion: life flowing from the throne, fruitfulness without end, and healing extended to every realm once wounded by corruption.
The Bride and the Lamb
The Lamb and His wife are now one. The Bride represents the completed union of heaven and earth, Spirit and flesh, God and creation. The government of the Lamb is gentle yet absolute. Through love, He reigns; through union, He restores. The sons who were manifested as rulers now serve as the bride who carries His nature.
The Light of the City
The city has no need of the sun or the moon, for the glory of God enlightens it, and the Lamb is its light. This symbolizes the full revelation of divine nature. No external light is required because everything within creation has become illuminated from within. God is no longer visited; He is revealed. The knowledge of the Lord covers the earth as the waters cover the sea.
The Final Declaration
He that sat upon the throne declares, Behold, I make all things new. This is the voice that began in Genesis, speaking light into darkness. Now it speaks again, but this time into fullness. The circle is complete. The Seed sown in the beginning has become a tree whose branches fill the heavens and whose roots reach the ends of the earth.
The Eternal Order
The book closes where purpose began—with God and man in perfect fellowship. Dominion has fulfilled its mission; reconciliation has accomplished its work; and love reigns without opposition. The sons who once ruled are now one with the Father, and through them, creation rests in everlasting peace. God is all in all. The Revelation of Jesus Christ brings every promise to completion, filling heaven and earth with the glory of divine life.
