The Meaning of
the Year 2025 - Sovereignty
Link: Doctrinal Definition - Sovereignty
January 1, 2024 (Day 1): The meaning of the year 2025 is
Sovereignty. Sovereignty is an attribute of the essence
of God. God's Sovereignty is the source of all authority
and power in Creation. Sovereignty is God's superior,
supreme, or almighty power and authority. The Sovereignty
of God is given to the Lord Jesus Christ as King of kings and
Lord of lords. He is King over the Temporal World and Lord
over the Spiritual World. He is Sovereign over all
Creation, including Man and Angels.
Names for Sovereignty in scripture include:
- Almighty God - Hebrew, yD^v^ la@, ('El
Shadda) (Genesis 17:1; Ruth 1:20)
- Most High God - Hebrew, /oyl+u# la@,
('El `Elejon) (Gen. 14:18-20; Psa
47:2-4; 83:18; Dan 5:18, 21; Lk 1:32)
- Sovereign - Greek, dunavsth",
(dunastes) (1 Timothy 6:15)
The greatest act of God's
Sovereignty was Creation (Gen 1:1; Neh 9:6; Isa 42:5; Acts
17:24-26; Rev 4:11). He created matter and energy along
with Light to reveal His Creation. Then He fashioned the
matter and energy into elementary building blocks to create
stars, planets, galaxies, black holes, and other heavenly bodies
(Heb 1:10). He turned on Light to reveal His
Creation. Then He created Angels to live in the celestial
environment and control the processes of Creation (Ps 33:6;
103:20, 21). He gave them the ability to think, act, live,
love, communicate, and enjoy the beauty and wonder of His
Creation (Job 38:7). He also gave them free will. He
did not make them slaves. They were free to live their
lives and love God.
One of the angels, Satan, was the most beautiful, brilliant, and
powerful (Ezek 28:3-6, 17). He was chief, or sovereign,
over the other angels. However, Satan was not happy with
his created life and wanted to be the supreme Sovereign instead
of the Angel of the LORD (preincarnate Christ) (Isa 14:13,
14). Satan's rejection of his creation was rebellion
against God (Ezek 28:18). Rejection of God's Sovereign
Creation is evil. Satan started a rebellion with one-third
of the angels and made war with the other Elect Angels of
God.
Satan was captured and brought to Justice for violation of the
Sovereignty of God. He was found guilty and sentenced to
the Lake of Fire along with the other fallen angels.
However, Satan appealed God's decision. He admitted that
God had the authority and power to judge him, but he claimed
that God was not right - that God was unrighteous. God
accepted the appeal and man was created to resolve the
issue. So mankind is on the Earth to demonstrate the
Righteousness of God.
God created modern man, beginning with Adam, with a body, soul,
and spirit to be a witness for God in the Appeal Trial.
Satan was allowed to cross examine the witnesses. Man
sinned, and God offered the Redemption
Solution. Man could be saved if he would accept the
work of the Redeemer who would come and pay for his sins.
Adam and Eve believed and were saved. Jesus Christ came
and paid for the sins of Adam and Eve and the whole human race
so that all who wanted salvation could be saved from the Lake of
Fire and live with God forever without fear of ever again
falling into sin.
The nature of creation is that it is apart from God. That
means creatures (man and angels) can love God or reject
Him. Accepting God is a love relationship, but rejecting
God is opposition to God, which God must condemn. The
Redemption Solution solves the sin question once and for
all. Those who choose the solution agree to be bondslaves
to God and never again given the opportunity to sin. God
will love them forever and never allow them to be tempted to
sin. That is the story of Creation with the planets
orbiting the Sun as opposed to a comet running off into the
darkness of outer space.
So Satan admitted God is Sovereign, but Satan also said God was
unrighteous. Here we are in 2025 as witnesses in the
Appeal Trial of Satan to demonstrate God's Righteousness in His
Sovereignty (Rom 3:24, 25, 26).
Sovereign Rule
Over Creation
God rules over Creation from
His throne in Heaven.
The LORD has established
His throne in the heavens;
And His kingdom rules
over the Universe. (Psalm 103:19)
God is the Sovereign King
over all Creation (Ps 47:2, 8). The Universe and
everything in it was created per God's Sovereign Design
Specifications.
Ephesians 1:11 Divine
Design for Creation
In whom (Christ) also we have received a destiny, having
been predestined according to the purpose of the Predetermined
Design from the One (Father) implementing all specifications
according to His Design Proposal.
As Christians we are in God's
Creation, having been created per His Sovereign Design
Specifications down to the hairs on our head (Matt 10:30).
We have a life and a destiny designed by God for His purpose.
The details of our life are predetermined according to God's
design. This is not fatalism. We still have
volition. We can make choices, but we will have the life
that God ordained. Ishmael was a wild ass of a man (Gen
16:11, 12), and Jonah was swallowed by a whale, and
Nebuchadnezzar became like an animal for a while. The
design of God always came true. We can try to understand
God's will for us or fight it, but God's purpose will be
done. Reference for additional exegetical details
(Fellowship Eph. 1:11 and Sovereignty).
The Sovereign power of God is available to the believer to
implement Divine Design and fulfill the Will of God (ref. Eph
1:18, 19, Sovereign
God, Col. 1:11). The Sovereign power of God
may be a get-out-of-jail-free card as in the case of Peter (Acts
12:6, 7) or resuscitation after a near death experience as in
the case of Jonah or miraculous deliverance from danger as in
the case of Daniel
in the lion's den. The power of Christ is available
to the Church Age Believer to handle the straits and crises of
life (2 Cor 12:9, 10). When trials and tribulations arise,
God has a solution (1 Cor 10:13). Passing the test leads
to promotion. Asking for healing or removal of the test
may mean flunking the test and loss of reward. What God
does not remove, He intends for us to endure.
Signs of Sovereignty
in 2025
The year 2025 stands for
Sovereignty, per the meaning of the number 25. However,
the number may not be the sign of the act of Sovereignty.
Divine Viewpoint must be used to perceive the Sovereign issues
with Bible Doctrine. God controls His Sovereign
Creation. He controls human history, and His
Sovereign acts should be apparent to Spiritually enlightened
believers through the Filling of the Holy Spirit (1 Jn
1:7). He gives Church Age Believers a New Spiritual Life
from His Sovereign Design. He gives life and takes it away
at death (Job 1:21). He decides the time, place, and
manner of death (Job 14:5; Eccl 3:1, 2; Jn 7:30; Heb 9:27).
Former President Jimmy Carter died on December 29, 2024.
Carter was the Sovereign 39th President of the USA in
1977-81. He died at age 100, for maximum Divine Good
production. He was a believer who tried to live the
Christian life. His death was a Sovereign act of
God. He died after a winter storm spawned tornadoes from
Texas to Georgia. The weather system appeared on the
infrared satellite images as a locust centaur demon with the
head of a horse and tail with a stinger like a scorpion.
These demons will come out in the Tribulation and attack men
(Rev 9:3-11). A National Day of Mourning has been declared
for former President Carter on January 9, 2025. So the
beginning of the New Year with funerals and remembrances for the
death of a Sovereign President will help us understand
Sovereignty in the New Year.
There will be awesome signs of God's Sovereignty in the Heavens
this year. There will be two total Lunar Eclipses (Blood
Moons), one in the Spring on March 14, for the Passover, and one
in the Fall on September 7, for the Second Advent. The Sun
and Moon swap positions in Aquarius and Leo in the two eclipses.
There will also be a close conjunction of the Morning Star and
Almighty God planets in Gemini on September 12. The
Morning Star symbolizes the Sovereign Authority of the head, and
the Almighty God planet symbolizes the Sovereign power of the
body. The conjunction in Gemini symbolizes the Marriage of
the Lamb when the Church rules with Christ in the Millennium.
Spring
Lunar Eclipse Chart
In the Chart of the
Spring Lunar Eclipse of March 14, 2025, the Moon is in Midheaven
n the sign of Leo, corresponding to the suffering of the Royal
Family of God. The Sun is at the Bottom of Heaven in
Aquarius, corresponding to the Crucifixion. A Stellium of
five planets in Aquarius and Pisces creates a strong opposition
to the Moon.
Fall
Lunar Eclipse Chart
In the Chart of the
Fall Lunar Eclipse the Moon is in Midheaven in Aquarius as the
sign of the Church at the Second Advent when the Sun will be
darkened and the Moon turned to blood (Joel 2:31). The Sun
is at the Bottom of Heaven in Leo. The Sun is in
conjunction with the Savior planet, for Christ as the Son of
David and Lion of the Tribe of Judah at the Second Advent.
Note the signs of Aquarius and Leo are reverse in the Spring
Chart and the Fall Chart, denoting the beginning and end of a
sequence, such as a time period.
The Fall Lunar Eclipse Chart contains a Coffin and a
Boomerang. The Coffin is for burying the dead after the
Armageddon War (Ezek 39:11, 12-13). The Boomerang is for a
crisis in timing, for the exact time of the Second Advent which
is known only by God the Father. Not even the Son knows
the time (Mk 13:32).

Conclusion
The meaning of the year 2025 is Sovereignty.
Sovereignty is an attribute of God's essence. Divine
Sovereignty is the ultimate, supreme, absolute source of all
authority and power. The greatest act of God's Sovereignty
was Creation - the Creation of the Heavens and Earth and all that
is in them, including the Universe and all life forms. God
designed Creation to strict specifications to handle every
relationship and every contingency. He has control over all
He has created. He created Angels to manage his Creation and
live in it. He gave the Angels free will to love Him or
reject him. Satan rejected the life that God created for
him, and God sentenced him to the Lake of Fire.
Satan appealed God's decision and man was created to resolve the
appeal and prove that God was Righteous in His condemnation of
Satan. Modern man was created to be a witness in Satan's
Appeal Trial. God provides a New Spiritual Life for all
believers to enable them to deal with the problems of living as
citizens of the devil's world. Satan rules the world, but
the power of God is available to believers from God's Grace.
The Sovereign design of God protects the believer living in the
devil's world. He will never leave nor forsake us (Heb
13:5). Spiritual Warfare is the order of the day, but the
battle is the Lord's, and He will give us the victory if we are
willing to execute the New Spiritual Life in Christ Jesus.
The Lord Jesus Christ is the Sovereign King of kings and Lord of
lords (1 Tim 6:15; Rev 17:14; 19:16). God the Father gave
Sovereignty to Christ and made the resurrected Christ the
Sovereign King over all other kings of the Earth. Christ is
King over the Temporal World, and Lord over the Spiritual World
(Ps 136:3). He is Sovereign over Elect Angels and demons in
the Spiritual World. He is the High Priest of the Church and
Lord over all priests of God. All authority has been given
to Him (Matt 28:18, 19).
