Psalm 128
Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways. For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee. Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table. Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD. The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life. Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children, and peace upon Israel.
Dominion begins at home. It begins by hitting as close to home as anything can, striking to the very heart of the man. If he fears the Lord, he can walk without fear anywhere. He will reap the joy of the faith he sows. And he will be happy. And so will his wife and his children.
Dominus is Latin for "Lord." Dominion is spreading the lordship of the Lord. It is pushing the lordship of Christ into each and every corner. Domi is latin for "at home." Dominion, then, literally begins at home, but it never ends there.
Psalm 127
Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.
Your grandsons will be raised according to how you raised your sons and daughters. Your daughters are future mothers and your grandsons will get a good deal of their education and training from her.
Christendom is Christian dominion. It is participating in Kingdom come, on earth as it is in Heaven. It begins in the home as a blueprint and then seeks to domesticate the wild world outside to be more in concert with the Christian home.
