PHOTO: There
have been several attempts to unseat God from His heavenly throne.
Lucifer and his rebellious angel friends tried it a very long time ago -
and failed (Isaiah 14:12; Revelation 12: 7-9).
They have refused to accept defeat, and for some perplexing (puzzling)
purpose of God have been allowed to roam the earth, living in their
destructive delusion and seducing human beings to join them, until the
final reckoning before God.
There have been similar attempts on earth to dethrone God. Atheists have tried to show that God does not exist. Secularism (uninvolved with religion) has now become a giant umbrella under which human rebellion and hubris (pride) are nurtured. Under its shade stand numerous attempts to declare the death, disappearance, or diminishing of God.
One such attempt was made by award-winning British author Philip Pullman. In his bestselling His Dark Materials trilogy, Pullman portrays God as an irrelevant, confused, and weakened old being, and the church as a corrupt and cruel institution that must be dismantled. In the third volume, The Amber Spyglass, he has an angel describe God as deceptive:
[The angel] said quietly, "The Authority, God the Creator, the Lord, Yahweh, El, Adonai, the King, the Father, the Almighty - those were the names he gave himself. He was never the creator. He was an angel like ourselves - the first angel, true, the most powerful, but he was formed of Dust as we are . . . The first angels condensed out of Dust, and the Authority was the first of all. He told all who came after him that he had created them, but it was a lie." [1a]
To readers of the Bible, this would sound all too familiar (see Genesis 3:1-5). Pullman has publicly said that his works were an attempt to replace the worldview or another British writer for an earlier generation - C. S. Lewis - whose Narnia series raised generations of children on the story of Christ and the salvation He offers. Making his underlying beliefs and motives clear, Pullman told an Oxford literary conference in August 2000.
"We're used to kingdom of heaven; but you can tell from the general thrust of the book that I'm of the devil's party, like Milton. And I think it's time we thought about a republic of heaven instead of the kingdom of heaven. The king is dead. That's to say I believe the king is dead. I'm an atheist. But we need heaven nonetheless, we need all the things that heaven meant, we need joy, we need a sense of meaning and purpose in our lives, we need a connection with the universe, we need all the things the kingdom of heaven used to promise to but failed to deliver." [2]
It is no surprise, therefore, that Pullman's series ends with the "Republic of Heaven". Christians would reject such grand illusions. But the republic of heaven finds expression in unexpected places, even among the people of God. Deadly humanism and secularism have subtly infiltrated the church.
At times, this is obvious. The British writer David Boulton, once nurtured in the Plymouth Brethren Gospel Hall, abandons Christian faith in The Trouble with God: Religious Humanism and the Republic of Heaven, advocating instead a humanistic spirituality that sees God as an evolving, useful cultural idea. But the trouble, of course, is not with God; it is with us humans, with our rebellious and unbelieving hearts.
Sometimes, the infiltration of the republic of heaven into the church is more subtle (minute). Take, for instance, some of the songs we sing at our worship services, which express our enthroning of Jesus as Lord! The great weakness of these songs lies in faulty theology, although I am quite sure that the songwriters meant well and wanted only to express heartfelt devotional sentiments.
The problem is that the words of these songs put us at the centre of the universe, emphasising our praise of Jesus. We are the ones who enthrone Jesus and proclaim Him as King, as if our song and our worship serve to make Him Lord, King, and Saviour - and we ask Him to build His throne as we affirm His kingship.
The reality is that Jesus is the enthrone one, whether we acknowledge it or not, dependent in no way on our vote of approval expressed through adoration and praise. In our ancient creeds, we only confess what Scripture already teaches: that Jesus died and rose from the dead, that He ascended into heaven and is now seated on His throne at the right hand of the Father (Ephesians 1:20; Colossians 3:1; Hebrews 1:3).
This Jesus is portrayed in Scripture in various ways. But the overwhelming, terrifying depiction of Jesus in Revelation 1:12-18 is seldom remembered by the church. When we meet Jesus, great and awesome, our proper response is not to tell Him to build His throne so that we can collectively enthrone Him, but to fall "as though dead" at the feet of the enthroned one. Jesus is not an elected king. His kingship is from everlasting to everlasting, independent of our decision and response.
The point is that heaven is a kingdom (authority of God), not a republic (a state in which supreme power is held by the people and their elected representatives, and which has an elected or nominated president rather than a monarch). Efforts, either to dethrone God, or (perhaps as a reaction to this) to enthrone Him, take us away from the truth of God's eternal rule (Psalm 102:12). They make us man-centred.
Scripture is full of visions of God's eternal throne (Isaiah 6:1-3; Ezekiel 1; Revelation 4). His position is neither strengthened by our affirmation nor threatened by our rebellion. In fact, "the One enthroned in heaven laughs" at such folly, saying, "I have installed my king on Zion, my holy mountain" (Psalm 2:4-6). We are called to serve the Lord "with fear" and to "celebrate his rule with trembling" (Psalm 2:11).
Heaven is a kingdom. God is King, far above our democratic processes, opinions, decisions, and choices. We can only fall at the feet of the enthroned one and obey Him without hesitation. Heaven is certainly not a republic. The sooner we learn it, the better, on earth and in the church.

This Jesus is portrayed in Scripture in various ways. But the overwhelming, terrifying depiction of Jesus in Revelation 1:12-18 is seldom remembered by the church. When we meet Jesus, great and awesome, our proper response is not to tell Him to build His throne so that we can collectively enthrone Him, but to fall "as though dead" at the feet of the enthroned one. Jesus is not an elected king. His kingship is from everlasting to everlasting, independent of our decision and response.

The point is that heaven is a kingdom (authority of God), not a republic (a state in which supreme power is held by the people and their elected representatives, and which has an elected or nominated president rather than a monarch). Efforts, either to dethrone God, or (perhaps as a reaction to this) to enthrone Him, take us away from the truth of God's eternal rule (Psalm 102:12). They make us man-centred.

Efforts, either to dethrone God, or (perhaps as a reaction to this) to enthrone Him, take us away from the truth of God's eternal rule (Psalm 102:12). They make us man-centred.

Scripture is full of visions of God's eternal throne (Isaiah 6:1-3; Ezekiel 1; Revelation 4). His position is neither strengthened by our affirmation nor threatened by our rebellion. In fact, "the One enthroned in heaven laughs" at such folly, saying, "I have installed my king on Zion, my holy mountain" (Psalm 2:4-6). We are called to serve the Lord "with fear" and to "celebrate his rule with trembling" (Psalm 2:11).
Heaven is a kingdom. God is King, far above our democratic processes, opinions, decisions, and choices. We can only fall at the feet of the enthroned one and obey Him without hesitation. Heaven is certainly not a republic. The sooner we learn it, the better, on earth and in the church.

PHOTO: "Dear Lord, we pray that the overwhelming, terrifying depiction of Jesus in Revelation 1:12-18 is seldom remembered by the church. When we meet Jesus, great and awesome, our proper response is not to tell Him to build His throne so that we can collectively enthrone Him, but to fall 'as though dead' at the feet of the enthroned one. Jesus is not an elected king. His kingship is from everlasting to everlasting, independent of our decision and response.
We, humans, with our rebellious and unbelieving hearts may abandon Christian faith for Religious Humanism and the Republic of Heaven, advocating instead a humanistic spirituality that sees God as an evolving, useful cultural idea.
May we learn that Heaven is a kingdom. God is King, far above our democratic processes, opinions, decisions, and choices. We can only fall at the feet of the enthroned one and obey Him without hesitation. Heaven is certainly not a republic.
May we learn it as soon as possible. The sooner we learn it, the better, on earth and in the church.
Through Lord Jesus Christ we pray. Amen."
