Kurios a Greek word from the Newer Testament of the Holy Bible, meaning Lord, so we proclaim and declare that Jesus Christ is Lord.

God gives us signs to observe and on which to take action. Kyrios.org is intentionally prophetic, both in the teaching we bring and in the observation of the signs of the times.

The Headship of Jesus Christ

“They have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me; that I should not reign over them”. (1 Samuel 8:7)

 

Some 1,500 years before the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, the chosen ones of Israel were brought out from Egypt, released from bondage and baptised in the waters of the Red Sea. They were led by Moses, a type (or prophetic shadow) of the Lord Himself. Through this, God revealed Himself as the I AM, the ever-present One and empowered Moses to perform increasingly astounding miracles as a witness against Pharaoh and his kingdom.

 

13 “Then Moses said to God, "Indeed, when I come to the children of Israel and say to them, `The God of your fathers has sent me to you,' and they say to me, `What is His name?' what shall I say to them?" 14 And God said to Moses, "I AM WHOM I AM." And He said, "Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, `I AM has sent me to you.'” (Exodus 3:13-14)

 

Moses, with considerable fear and trembling, yet in obedience to his God, in faith allowed himself to be the person whom God, the God of Israel, would show Himself the highest and most powerful of all.

 

In those days emperor worship had become accepted practice. Pharaoh sat in his own temple, on his own throne, demanding obedience and recognition that he alone was god. His laws could not be questioned. They were enforced by a well-trained and disciplined army. When Moses came before Pharaoh his life could be considered as nothing and without the Living God to protect him, Moses was as good as dead for daring to question the power and authority of one of the first and more well-known antichrists. Yet the I AM does not allow anyone to imitate Him. No created being has ever had the authority to take His place. The minute Pharaoh adopted the title of a god who demanded worship, his judgement was a foregone conclusion. Not that it would happen immediately, but like most things in this world, it would come in due time: in God’s time.

 

Without detailing the symbolic meaning of the plagues that God sent to Pharaoh and his kingdom, we may note that Pharaoh was exceedingly humiliated and as head of his kingdom, his own, and his people’s firstborn and their land and crops, were severely destroyed (Exodus CHs 7 - 14).

 

This principle, that the spiritual state of the head of a kingdom determines how God deals with that kingdom, is a principle of scripture running right through the Bible; from the beginning to its end.
