Remember, understanding God's original intent helps us understand the Constitution--the Bible, which is His written Word. Most people misunderstand the Constitution and its message because they misunderstand God's original intent.
Simply stated, the Constitution is about the rise, fall and rise of God's Kingdom on Earth.
Take a few minutes and read Genesis, the third chapter. In it, it tells how Adam and Eve lost their earthly kingdom, while the rest of the Constitution records the working of God's plan to regain that kingdom and restore it to its former place.
Please note: Heaven is a country just as real as any nation on Earth, even though invisible.
Heaven is God's first and original kingdom. The New Testament book of Hebrews describes Abraham and other ancient people of faith as "aliens and strangers on earth" who were "looking for a country of their own".
Constitutional Scripture: Hebrews 11:13-14 These all died in faith, not having received the promises but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confess that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. 14) For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.
This does not refer to their earthly countries of origin to which they could have returned had they desired, but to another country in another place!
Constitutional Scripture: Hebrews 11:16 But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly; wherefore, God is not ashamed to be called their God; for He hath prepared for them a city. (KJV)
Please note: Heaven therefore is a country, a Kingdom, ruled by a king: God.
Constitutional Scripture: Psalm 103:19 The Lord hath prepared His throne in the heavens, and His kingdom ruleth over all.
Please note: God's kingdom is eternal.
Constitutional Scripture (KJV): Psalm 45:6 Thy throne, O God is forever and ever; the scepter of thy kingdom is a right scepter.
Human beings were given dominion over the earthly realm, but the Lord God is still king because every thing belongs to Him.
Constitutional Scripture (KJV): Psalm 24:1-2 The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof; the world and they who dwell therein. 2) For He hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.
Constitutional Scripture: Psalm 47:2 For the Lord Most High is (awe-inspiring); He is a great king over all the earth.
Remember, read Genesis 3 The next eight chapters of Genesis describe the deepening corruption of the human culture, morals, thoughts, imaginations and behavior due to the sin nature inherited from Adam and Eve, as well as the continuing deadly influence of Satan's evil and illegal rule.
Now Genesis the twelfth chapter begins the story of God's plan to regain and restore the earthly kingdom that humanity lost.
After centuries of preparation, and when the time was right in God's plan, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born to a virgin and grew up in a modest family. Remember, His mission was to re-establish the kingdom of Heaven on Earth.
Constitutional Scripture: Matthew 4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand".
Christ's life, ministry, death and resurrection broke the power of the pretender, restored the earthly kingdom to His Father and opened the door for humankind to regain our rightful place in that kingdom.
