THE POWERS OF THE AGE TO COME
Hebrews 6:5 NKJV
…and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come.
Here, Paul speaks of the Church tasting of the powers of the age to come: that is the millennial reign of Christ.
This means that we will experience to some degree, the powers that will be available in the millennial reign of Christ in this time and dispensation.
David was not a priest nor high priest, neither was he of the tribe of Levi. Yet he took the Ark of God, having the very Presence of God, and put it under a tent behind his palace in Zion (2Sam. 6:17).
David, by faith and the quality of His relationship with God, was able to exercise a New Testament privilege in the Old Testament: he tasted of the powers of the age to come.
Enoch (Heb. 11:5) and Elijah (2Kg. 2:11) were caught up to heaven without physical death, an experience reserved for the rapture of the Church (1Th. 4:17) in the New Testament. In this way, they too tasted of the powers of the age to come.
Daniel (Dan. 3:28, 4:24-26) in Babylon, Ezra (Ezr. 6:6-14, 7:21-26), Esther and Mordecai (Est. 8-10) in Persia, all ruled over Gentile kingdoms by spiritual power through prayer and a life of dedication, exercising the power of ruling over nations, tasted of the powers of the age to come as well.
But, now the Zion church that is growing into the perfection and fulness of Christ will not only taste, but will eat of the powers of the age to come.
The Zion Church will break, rule and disciple the nations in this dispensation before the physical return of the Lord Jesus and the millennial reign (Psa. 2:6-9).
Psalms 23:5 NKJV
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over.
They will do this, inheriting and so manifesting on a consistent (not transient and sporadic) basis, the power of the Spirit without measure (Matt. 24:14).
The time for this to happen has now come, because the Church is growing into the perfection and fulness of Christ, using the Blood, the Word and the power of the Holy Spirit, and so is releasing greater power to shake, bombard and dislodge Satan and his cohorts from the second heaven and their dominion over the air (Dan. 7:17-18, 21-22).
Psalms 110:2-6 NKJV
The LORD shall send the rod of Your strength out of Zion. Rule in the midst of Your enemies!…The Lord is at Your right hand; He shall execute kings in the day of His wrath. He shall judge among the nations, He shall fill the places with dead bodies, He shall execute the heads of many countries.
