OUR FATHER WHO SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY SON
To teach His followers about the mechanics of establishing the kingdom of God in the earth, the Lord Jesus used a parable in Matthew chapter 13 verse 33;
33 Another parable He spoke to them: “The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal till it was all leavened.”
The Lord Jesus used the concept of a woman taking an amount of a rising agent like yeast and then introducing it to a volume of flour.
The woman then kneaded the dough with the yeast until the small quantity of yeast was distributed evenly throughout the flour and could act in all the sectors of the meal.
This is an illustration of how the kingdoms of this world would be infused with the rising agent of heaven such that they would all be acted upon by the agent.
The efforts of the woman, standing in for the church's work of distributing the good news of the kingdom on the earth as well as manifesting of the active agents of the kingdom of heaven, establishes the rulership of the Lord Jesus through the earth.
As Psalm 110 verse 2 says;
The Lord shall send the rod of Your strength out of Zion. Rule in the midst of Your enemies!
Amen.
