Summary
In this episode, Pastor Ken teaches on the role of fathers as representatives of God in our world. God is the ultimate father and has appointed other fathers in his world to serve as representative heads, federal heads, in the sphere of the state, the church, and the home. We need to understand that God appointed Adam as the first federal head of the earthly created cosmos as a steward of the earth. And Adam forfeited his headship over earth to Satan.

00:00:23.480
five-star review on your favorite podcast platform. Thanks. We need to understand that God works
00:00:31.720
through fathers. God is the ultimate father. The Bible says that every good and perfect gift comes
00:00:38.420
down from the father of lights. We live in the father's world. And the father, the ultimate
00:00:44.280
father, the heavenly father, has appointed other lower, lowercase f, fathers in his world to serve
00:00:53.380
as representative heads, federal heads. We have civil fathers in the sphere of the state. We have
00:01:01.320
ecclesiastical spiritual fathers in the sphere of the church. And we have familial fathers in the
00:01:08.620
sphere of the home. Now the first federal head of the earthly created cosmos that God appointed as
00:01:17.800
steward was Adam. And Adam forfeited his authority, his headship over earth to Satan. So God is the
00:01:28.820
father. He owns it all. He's the ultimate father, the ultimate federal head. But he appoints Adam
00:01:35.280
as a viceroy of sorts, as a human representative, representing not only his wife and all their
00:01:43.120
future posterity but even the creation itself not just human beings but but trees and rocks
00:01:51.120
and mountains and rivers that's why when adam sins god doesn't just say adam is cursed or the woman
00:01:57.960
is cursed but he even goes so far as to say cursed is the ground because of you this is why
00:02:05.380
furthermore in the book of romans the apostle paul underneath the inspiration of the spirit
00:02:10.560
writes that even creation, all of creation groans with eager expectations for the sons of God to be
00:02:18.540
revealed. There are rocks and trees who are gloriously and eagerly, joyfully anticipating
00:02:26.900
the final culmination of history, the revealing of the sons of God, and when they will be fully
00:02:33.300
restored as Jesus ushers in the culmination of his kingdom on earth fully as it is in heaven.
00:02:41.800
Jesus even says that if you will not worship me, these very stones will cry out and worship. This
00:02:49.600
is not hyperbole. Jesus was speaking literally. If man will not worship him, even creation will cry
00:02:58.260
out they cannot help but do so all creation testifies to the glory of god furthermore romans
00:03:06.180
chapter 1 says that creation sings that it demonstrates god's existence his eternal power
00:03:14.660
and divine nature has been clearly displayed by what he has made furthermore psalm i believe it's
00:03:21.120
chapter 8. It might be 16, but it speaks of the skies which pour forth speech, speaking to testifying
00:03:29.620
to the glories of God, his nature, his character, his power, his majestic wisdom. So Adam was appointed
00:03:39.520
by God, the ultimate father, as a human father over the physical cosmos, the earth. And Adam
00:03:48.620
forfeited his headship, federal headship, to Satan through sin. The woman was deceived and then Adam
00:03:57.260
joined her in her sin. This is not to exonerate Adam saying that the woman was deceived but the
00:04:04.660
man wasn't. Therefore his sin was bad but not as bad as hers. No, it was worse because he sinned
00:04:11.300
with his eyes wide open. He knew better and her initial sin and deception. The Bible is clear that
00:04:17.760
he was with her and he did nothing to stop it. However, if Eve had only sinned, and this gets
00:04:24.680
back to federal headship and patriarchy, if Eve had only sinned and Adam did not join her, the world
00:04:30.380
would not have been thrust into subjugation. Because Eve did not represent God's rule on earth.
0.93
00:04:38.040
Adam did. Federal headship matters. So God gives it to Adam. Adam gives it to Satan. And Satan
0.89
00:04:46.640
gives this dominion which is not just in the 17th dimension. It is earthly. It is tangible. It's
00:04:53.740
physical. It's real. The Bible refers to Satan during this time period as the prince of the air
00:05:00.640
or the ruler of this age or some translations even say the ruler of the world. And Satan has
00:05:07.660
certain followers, his henchmen, and he assigns to them principalities. So think of the United
00:05:14.700
states of america we have states or you might think of canada provinces a prince is a ruler
00:05:20.520
a principality is a region and so what the archangel michael going back to the book of
00:05:27.500
daniel that i referenced earlier what he's speaking of when he says i got held up with
00:05:31.920
the prince of persia he's saying there's a particular principality this kingdom this
00:05:39.360
empire, this region, geographic region, and there is a human ruler. But behind that human ruler,
00:05:46.720
there is a prince, a spiritual prince who influences him to do terrible things.
00:05:54.940
And I couldn't get through without having to fight him off. He actually has real dominion,
00:06:02.220
real authority, physical authority in this place. Why? Because God has all authority.
00:06:07.540
God then designates authority to Adam. Adam forfeits authority to Satan, and then Satan
00:06:14.120
divvies it up. He delegates with different princes in different principalities. Now what ultimately
00:06:21.580
happens in the coming of Christ is that Christ is the second, final, and better Adam. And Christ
0.82
00:06:28.440
comes, and ultimately what Satan attempts to do is he attempts to tempt him and get him to forfeit
00:06:36.580
his rightful dominion in the same way that he did with adam satan tempts him three times in the
00:06:43.080
wilderness he says to christ in one of the temptations he takes him up to a high hill
00:06:49.440
shows him all the kingdoms of the world and says if you would only bow down and worship me
00:06:54.240
i will give you these kingdoms now one thing that's important for us to realize is first
00:06:59.380
satan this is a real offer he actually had these kingdoms they were his he took them
00:07:06.200
from Adam. They're gods. God gave them to Adam. Satan took them. Adam forfeited them. So he's
00:07:11.760
offering real kingdoms that he actually has dominion and power over. Now, here's where
00:07:16.840
evangelicals who are squishy and effeminate, which would make up about 95% of them, this is where
00:07:22.060
they would get it wrong. They would say, see, Jesus says no. Satan gives a real offer to take
0.93
00:07:28.360
the kingdoms of the world, a real political offer for political power. And Jesus says, my kingdom is
00:07:34.420
not of this world. I don't care about politics, right? No. Jesus, this is how we should understand
00:07:39.520
it. Jesus says, I'm not going to allow you to give me the kingdoms because I don't want them. No. I
00:07:45.080
won't let you give me the kingdoms because I'll take them. And he did. He took them. He didn't let
00:07:52.540
Satan give him those kingdoms, which would ultimately cause him to sin and then forfeit his
00:07:57.400
own right, just like Adam did. But instead, he took those kingdoms by virtue of his life, death, burial, and resurrection.
