Ruler Over Many: The Kingdom Commission (Matthew 25:21 & Daniel 7 Continued) Pastor John Shane Vaughn — First Harvest Ministries International ________________ 1 I want to focus on what that means; Matthew 25:21; last week we talked about the thrones that were going to be set up before Yeshua reigns on the earth and before Yahweh returns; that's where we left off; and when you get to Matthew 25:21 Yeshua says something very strange; Elder, let's say; but no, Brother Chifflet, pull up that verse on Blue Letter Bible; I want to show you something about that word in that verse. 2 Matthew 25:21; why would Yeshua say these words? Because Yeshua was not like us; he was not a Christian; amen; he wasn't a Christian; he was an Israelite; okay; he understood what the Christian church doesn't; he understood all about the kingdom; that's all he taught; that's all he taught was the kingdom. 3 And here in this verse he says something that I've never heard in Christianity; he doesn't say well done good and faithful servant, welcome to heaven, welcome to the Jordan's swelling tide; he doesn't say that at all; he says something that all of your life in Christianity you sort of skipped over because it just didn't make no sense: I'm going to make you ruler over many things. 4 If you ever get that verse in your mind you'll become a ruler over yourself; amen; over your temptations, over your passions, over your anger, over your personality; amen; amen; over your way you were raised; over your; that's why when people tell me, people tell me all the time, Pastor you push me but I'm an introvert. 5 Listen to me: you have to become a ruler over your introverted self; sir; that's right; cuz Yahweh said once a week you are to come into a holy gathering with humans, people; not dogs, not cats; that's right; not chickens; but people; that's right; you are to get out of your hiding place in your house and you are to become one with the body; amen. 6 He said to forsake not that connecting together of yourselves every Sabbath day; so your personality problems are your problems to conquer; that's right; that's right; you have to become a ruler in your mind rather than your mind ruling you; you have to become a ruler; amen; that is your goal in life. 7 Now there's something a little misleading about this verse; click on that Matthew 25:21 and notice that the word; go back up real quick; notice that it says I'll make you ruler over many things; well we're almost okay with that; okay, I'm going to be ruler over many things; but here's the problem; click on it; scroll down. 8 The problem is that's not what it says; keep scrolling; keep going; I will make you; keep going; ruler over many; click on that; many things; it's the word polys, which is where we get polygamy from; now go down; the problem is; keep going; it doesn't say things; things was added by your translator because they couldn't understand: ruling over what? 9 But you're going to be ruling over many, not things; hallelujah; the word things ain't in your Bible; but we throw things in there because okay, I'm gonna be ruling over the tree; but you see they added it; that's why your Bible, the one in your hands, any translation is not inspired; I don't care if it's the King James, Queen James, or any James; only the original is inspired. 10 Now look at that root word poly; that's where we get polygamy, many wives; polyamorous, many partners; poly; I'm going to make you ruler over poly, many people; amen; amen; and the reason you can't get this Kingdom message is cuz you don't see yourself ruling over people; right; you were starting to get okay with many things; and then I hit you with this. 11 Yeah, maybe ruler over the dump trucks, you know, or something like that; yeah yeah; they're going to be junk in the kingdom; ruler over many things; except things ain't in there; you're going to be rulers over many people; your role in the coming kingdom of God will be one of government over humans. 12 And if you don't get that in your mind you will live with your excuses of your personality quirks till the day you die; that's why, Elder Baker, you can't afford to get hurt at people; because it's people you've got to rule; amen; that's why you cannot say; see, there's some of you right now; and I'm fixing; I'm going to make the devil so mad. 13 There's some of you right now watching me that can't get around people; right; I've got news for you: you're not going to make it into the first resurrection; that's the whole purpose of the first resurrection; to get around people; you want to hide out? You're not an Overcomer; you've been overcome; that's right; amen; your quirks. 14 Now let's talk about those that can get around people but when they get around people they abuse people and misuse people; you're not ready to rule; if you cannot love people you will never rule over people; and the problem is many of you are saying amen; and the very time a person offends you, you go run down that person; but you're going to rule over many people that will offend you. 15 This is when we say training for reigning we truly mean that; it's not just a phrase; it's a commission; it's our calling, Brother Damian, to get ourselves together, to prepare to rule over; and I'm fixing to go to the book of Daniel; but I'm trying to prep you for what you're going to find over there. 16 Because Yeshua, unlike your pastor from your previous church, never one time taught, not once, did he ever teach that you were going to heaven; never; not one time; never; he never promoted heaven; he never made you look forward to heaven; as a matter of fact here's what he did: he said if you'll suffer with me; not what he said; you will reign with me over people. 17 I've been teaching this for 10 years and today no one has ever been able to refute my teaching; no one; no one; some have tried only to look like fools; because I know this book inside out, upside and down; because I know the kingdom message; the whole Bible is about the kingdom; the whole Bible. 18 You show me one place where Yeshua, Jesus, ever one time called you to heaven; here's what he did say: the meek will inherit the earth; his whole message was about getting ready to rule; what did he promise to the 12 apostles? He said: you 12 will be sitting with me on 12 thrones, not in heaven, but governing the 12 tribes of Israel; right; he's never one time promised heaven to nobody. 19 And yet when you go in a Christian church that's all you hear; now here's the reason the Christian church can't understand my message; it's all kingdom; because Yeshua said well done good and faithful servant because you were faithful over your emotions; amen; yes sir; yes sir; your depression. 20 I don't get depressed; I've never been depressed one day in my life; sitting in a prison I wasn't depressed; amen; why? I've got my emotions under control; you know why? If I didn't have my emotions under control I would have resigned this church four years ago and went home and got on a meat truck and been filthy rich and been happy. 21 But I understand my destiny; I understand my purpose; that's why I laugh when people say I'm in it for the money; you haven't seen money until you get in the meat business; there's more money than you can shake a stick at; it's everywhere; now so; and my whole family owns the whole industry; so don't go there with me; listen; my mother didn't become a millionaire except by meat; that's our family business. 22 But I knew that my calling was to prepare to rule over people; now let me ask you a question: how would you like it when you're ruling over people for them to respond to your orders the way you respond to mine? We're training, sir, for ruling over people; amen, Pastor. 23 Now the beautiful thing about it: that word rule; we don't rule like the world rules; sir; we rule by serving; yes sir; amen; and we don't rule; we become the least; that's right; hallelujah; oh yes; when we get in a food line we stand in the back to make sure everybody else eats first. 24 I've been the pastor here for many years; I've never one time gone to the front of the line here; ever; I'll wait till everybody has eaten; why? Because the first shall be last; but the last shall be; if I would be death be first in the food line by being last; hallelujah; now ain't nobody going to want to go first at the front; yeah; because they worry about how much food is left; amen. 25 As you learn to serve people you're preparing to rule; Yeshua was a servant; why do you think he washed their feet? To show them what ruling looks like; amen; we're not coming to be lords over the flock; ever; ever; ever; do you know I don't get involved in anybody's life here? I don't lord over anyone; I don't fool with nobody until you show a rebellious spirit. 26 And then I'll show you because we don't put up with it here; we're building something; we're building a work of unity; 100% unity in this house; and we've got it; we've got it; we have gotten there; what about 99.8? But we're there; and them two are going to drop off before long; we're getting there; we're getting there; amen. 27 Of complete unity; no complaining; no grumbling; no griping; that's; I'm going to tell you; when I ask some of you; do you know why; some; when I ask some of you how you doing; I don't want you to answer; amen; I didn't want her to answer; run; I'm scared of some of your answers; hallelujah. 28 If I; that's just a social pleasantry; how you doing? I'm walking up; no that don't mean stop me and tell me; well you know; no; get control over it; the only response is: I am blessed; I'm an Israelite; I'm blessed; when I go in; when I sit down I'm blessed; when I get up I'm just blessed; Pastor; oh yes. 29 I'm broke but I'm so blessed; hallelujah; why is that? Because there ain't nothing I can do about the mess you created for yourself; nothing; but I can help pull you out of it by not going down in there with you; right; rulers over people, sir. 30 Now that's how I rule over people; I serve them by not going down to their level but bringing them up to the higher level; that's how we rule people and serve people; amen; so that verse of scripture should very much always be in your mind: well done good and faithful servant, you have been faithful, and that makes you a ruler over people; amen. 31 Let's turn to the book of Daniel; we're going to pick up in chapter 7 where we left off last week; now last week we told you about the age of judgment; that is a time period after the millennial reign; the millennial reign will start right here with a bunch of different thrones, 144,000, this is the first resurrection. 32 Now for one day, 1,000 years, the Sabbath, the Great Sabbath, for 1,000 years, all of the people; watch this; that will live in this thousand years are not what we refer to as the Immortals; the Immortals are these people that were told well done good and faithful servant; the first resurrection; everyone that comes up in the first resurrection will have spirit bodies; we will be immortal. 33 Everyone else will still be alive and they will not be immortal; they will still live and die and have children; and life goes on; the only thing that changes is a new president in Jerusalem; his name is Yeshua HaMashiach; right. 34 And I was watching this week as the world loses their mind over Elon Musk; and I heard them talking on the news: we did not elect Elon Musk; oh yes you did; Donald, you elected Elon Musk; that's right; because Elon is the right hand of the man you elected; right; that's right; amen; when you elected Donald Trump you elected anybody; elections have consequences; that's right; it's called the cabinet. 35 That's right; now in Great Britain they refer to those as ministers; the Prime Minister; the Minister of Education; we call them secretaries but the truth is they're ministers of the minister himself, sir; the ministry; see, the queen and the king was always considered the ministers of their nation; and these are their ministers. 36 And what do those ministers do? Elon Musk sat down and had a talk with Donald Trump; Donald Trump said I want to clean up government but I don't want to do it; that's right; I need a government that will do it for me; and that is me doing it; that's right; for 1,000 years Yeshua is going to clean up government; y'all need to wake up. 37 This election of Donald Trump is a prophetic foreshadowing of what is coming to our planet; absolutely; big hair and all; maybe Yeshua's got big hair, we'll find out; but he is coming to rule and to clean up; Doge is going into every department and cleaning up; Yeshua is going to clean up. 38 Except now, you see these election battles, you see these court battles they're having; Professor Toto told you that we'll win every one of them because the Constitution is behind us; okay? So far out of four we've won all four court battles; why is that? Because whenever Yeshua begins to clean up government the authority to clean it up will be given to the Saints. 39 We will have the power to go into every city, every village, every hamlet, and clean up this world; we will be ruler when we walk in; yes sir; they said when Kash Patel walked in yesterday to the FBI building he cleaned out a whole floor; seventh floor; told them pack your stuff; oh why? Because he is a ruler over many; yes sir; amen; amen. 40 But how did Elon clean up the seventh floor of the FBI building? Let me show you where it started; you don't know the starting point; you've probably forgotten; Kash Patel was like many of you a nobody; and when Donald Trump was elected president you may have heard of Russia Russia Russia, the Russian hoax; well, Kash Patel worked behind the scenes to prove the falsehood of the dossier, of the Steel Dossier. 41 Yes sir; he worked quietly behind the scenes; he was over there; nobody knew what he was doing; he was being faithful over a few things; hallelujah; faithful to his lord and master; oh yes; that's what I call him, a lord and master, Donald Trump; he was being faithful to him in the background; making sure that he found truth. 42 And then all of a sudden you're watching the news one day and everybody else gets the credit for disproving the Steel Dossier except for Kash Patel; oh yeah; the FBI director got the credit for it; but it was Cash that found the lies; amen; and now old Cash has cashed in; hallelujah; come on now. 43 So when Donald Trump was looking for a government he went and found a man that worked for him in silence and worked for truth and found the truth; faithful servant; now I make you ruler over the seventh floor, over people, to clean it up; and when you walk around this planet and the government; and when you walk in, they'll shut that cussing mouth up; or you'll clean off the floor. 44 Won't be no more of that; when you walk in, women will put clothes on; when you walk in, righteousness will be in order; I'm going to make you the ruler of people; because do y'all think that Kash Patel hates anybody that worked on that seventh floor? No; no; he loves truth more than he's affected by human interaction; he loves truth; it ain't personal; it's prophetic. 45 And when you start to rule with Christ it'll never be personal; you know why? Because when you come up in that first resurrection there's a recording of your mind and it will show how you never mistreated people; it'll show how people would try to run other people down to you and you would cut them off; it would show the intent of your heart is never to make it personal; come on now. 46 Oh, when you hear me preaching rough, it ain't personal, it's prophetic; ain't not nothing to do with you actually; it's got to do with protecting this work, protecting truth; if he can't trust you with people now; oh Cash shall never put you on the seventh floor; do you see how we're all citizens of Donald Trump's government but we're not all government? 47 We all love truth; we're all saved; that's right; we're all American; but we're not government; you know why? We didn't expose the Steel Dossier; hallelujah; we were there; and get ready; I'm telling you; I'm going to tell you what's fixing to happen and you say you heard it here first: Donald Trump's got somebody in the background he's going to let loose real soon by the name of General Flynn; you watch what I'm telling you. 48 Don't think General Flynn's hiding; uh-uh; it's coming; oh, he's back there; Donald Trump probably in the second or third year is going to bust him out; why? Cuz Flynn was faithful; yes sir; go through the whole government of Donald Trump; here's what you'll find: faithfulness; you'll find people that were faithful when he was in exile at Mar-a-Lago, while he had gone to a far place to receive for himself a kingdom; yes sir. 49 Oh, I wish I had somebody that would hear me today; come on now; people that went to Mar-a-Lago and was there; people that was there when they arrested him; oh, people that was there when it looked like he was never coming back; people that never stopped; uh; listen, we may not be in the official government but we are the government; do you understand me? We stood faithful; hallelujah. 50 He doesn't even know about you yet; but you was there; amen; amen; amen; amen; there are many that tried to ride his coattail in the first term; but I want to tell you, listen carefully: if he would not have gone away, if he wouldn't have gone away, he would know the real government; he would never have found the true government. 51 He said I go away to prepare a place; and if I go I'm going to go make room for you to show up; I'm making room for you; I'm going to find out who will hold on to the faith; who will never give in during those four years; my close friends mocked me and made fun of me because I never ever stopped saying Donald Trump's returning. 52 The news media, Newsmax, right-wing watch, Reuters, all the news would make fun of the Maga Pastor; but I want to know who's laughing now; here's why: because when God said it, it settles it; if you'll be faithful he'll make you a ruler; amen. 53 The only reason I'm not; the only reason I'm not in the Trump government is I've got more important things to do; I've got to prepare the eternal government; hallelujah; do you understand? I wouldn't even want to be in his government; that's child's play to me; I'm part of preparing a government that Donald Trump will bow down to. 54 A government that Pam Bondi will bow down to; a government that Putin will bow down to; a government that Zelensky will bow down to; everyone will bow down to this government; I wouldn't step down to be Trump's government; I'm preparing a real government; one that'll have immortal bodies; one that will rule and reign with the King of all Kings. 55 The President of all presidents is coming; and just like I declare Trump is coming, I still declare that one of these days the eagle will fly again; hallelujah; hallelujah; hallelujah; woo. 56 I'll show up every Sabbath, every Tuesday night, every Thursday night, every Sabbath; never leaving this microphone; hallelujah; what I do on the Sabbath is what I did on Tuesday and Thursday nights for four years at a microphone declaring the eagle will fly again. 57 Why? Brothers and sisters, I'm going to be faithful; listen to me: if you don't have faithfulness you have no value in the government of God; he doesn't care what kind of money you've got; he doesn't know what money is; faithfulness; faithfulness; brother, you showed up today. 58 Brother Iniquity; faithfulness; you overcame your little excuse; you overcame your emotion, your feeling; you were faithful; hallelujah; amen; came with back pain; you know how many people would have called in today? Not that man; it's the Sabbath; hallelujah. 59 Hallelujah; my wife could be in a morning dress; she could have said honey for the next few months I just can't face people; I can't get out of my mourning; oh no; we got a job to do; we got work to do; there's no backing up; fight till you win; run to the end. 60 Faithful; don't ever give up; God bless you; let's all stand this morning; hallelujah; blessed be the name of the Lord; don't ever give up; hallelujah; don't ever turn around; I know Minister, I didn't even get to the verse, did I? Hallelujah; blessed be the name of the Lord; well I just figured I'd give y'all a break; I normally preach so long; hallelujah; and the service went so long today; yes it did. 61 Hallelujah; amen; praise the Lord; well I'm running trying to make a hundred cuz 99.9 won't do; yes I'm running trying to make a hundred cuz 99.9 won't do; oh yes I'm running; trying to make a hundred; trying to make a hundred cuz 99.9 won't do; and what do you want the Lord to say? Well done good and faithful servant; that's why I'm running to make a hundred; make a hundred cuz 99.9 won't do. 62 Woo; well we didn't even get to Daniel; we'll get there next week; I'm so sorry; hallelujah; oh I just come to tell you: don't ever get tired of doing right; don't ever get weary of the fight; fight till the end; cuz me and the devil, we had a tussle; yes; but I won; me and the devil, we both agree: I hate the devil, he hates me; me and the devil we had a tussle but I won; you know why? Cuz I didn't quit; God bless you; we've got food in the back; Yahweh bless you; hallelujah.

Summary

This teaching focuses on Matthew 25:21 and the meaning of being made "ruler over many." The speaker argues that Yahshua's message was consistently centered on Kingdom government, rulership, and preparation for authority rather than heaven as a destination. Using Matthew 25 and references to Daniel 7, the lesson emphasizes faithfulness, self-government, service, perseverance, and overcoming personal limitations as preparation for future governmental responsibilities in the Kingdom of Yahweh. The message repeatedly stresses that believers are presently in training for reigning and that faithful servants will one day participate in the administration of Yahweh's government.
