Isaiah 60:2 "For, behold, the
darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the
LORD shall arise upon thee, and His glory shall be seen upon thee."
The
world is cloaked in darkness and despair, and ultimately doomed to total
destruction if things continue as they have been. People everywhere are
struggling to survive and desperate for change. We must cry out to God
for His mercy and intervention in our affairs, as never before. We must
desire His way of doing things and being right more than anything else.
We need deliverance from the evil and decadence that surround us before
we are completely consumed.
We cannot hope for worldly
solutions to our problems. Things have gotten way out of hand and no
man or human government can rectify them at this time. The devil has
wreaked havoc with all of us and we are in dire straits. Our sin has
also brought misfortune to our lives and we are suffering as a result.
If we cry out to the Lord, He will be merciful and compassionate to
assist us. He will not permit His beloved children to be oppressed or
exploited for very much longer.
The awesome glory of God will
soon fall all over the face of the entire earth to dispel the wickedness
that surrounds us. Nothing will remain as it has been in the past. The
world will be renewed, restored and renovated according to the express
will of almighty God Himself. He will establish His way of doing things
as the norm for our lives. We will no longer suffer or be oppressed by
Satan, the enemy of our souls. All evil will ultimately be overcome
with good.
The Lord is moving through
His people who are totally dedicated to bring in the Kingdom of God and
deliver all of mankind from destruction. His very own anointing power
and authority will be given to us to set matters straight on the earth.
There will be no more violence, conflict and war. All forms of poverty
and lack will be abolished. Greed and oppression will not even be named
among us. All humanity will be cleansed and purified or face eternal
punishment.
We will preach the Gospel of
peace with power and conviction. Everyone will have the opportunity to
know Jesus Christ and what He did for us. We will work miracles, signs
and wonders in His name, so that all men, women and children who are
willing can be converted, saved and baptized in His name. We will heal
the sick, cast out demons and even raise the dead in the days to come.
The entire earth will be filled with the glory of God as we usher in His
Kingdom.
Luke 11:2-4 "And He said unto
them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in Heaven, Hallowed be thy
name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in Heaven, so in Earth.
Give us day by day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins; for we also
forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation;
but deliver us from evil."
We need to birth the Kingdom
of God with fervent prayer and active participation in God's plans for
our eternal redemption. The Lord's Prayer should not be something we
just recite from memory, but an urgent plea for help. If we cry out to
God for His intervention in our affairs, He will be merciful and kind to
us and hasten the coming of His Kingdom. We desperately need Him to
come to our aid, so that the world can be renewed and restructured
according to His way of doing things.
Our heavenly Father is
expecting us to partner with Him in setting matters straight on the
earth. We cannot be passive and permit things to become even bleaker.
We must exercise the dominion that we have been given by Christ
Himself. We have to take a stand against the enemy and overcome all
evil with good. We will use prayer, praise and spiritual decrees to
defeat Satan and all of his minions. He will no longer blind any of us
to our sins, nor oppress and torment us.
We will take authority over
all of creation, and establish peace, order and stability in this world
even prior to Christ's return. We will restructure all human
governments and their economies and correct social injustice. We will
renew all of nature to its original beauty and balance. There will be
no more climatic catastrophes that cause death and devastation in their
wake. Plants and animals will finally be in harmony once again and
subject to man as they were in the Garden of Eden.
Very soon now, heaven itself
will be brought to the earth realm. All playing fields will be leveled
when Jesus Christ returns to us. He will destroy all the ungodly and
their ungodliness in the wrath of His coming. No more evil will be
permitted on the face of the earth. He will bind the devil in the
bottomless pit and cast the rebellious into the lake of fire. Nothing
will ever disturb the peace and serenity, love and unity, joy and
freedom of life in Christ's Kingdom.
1John 5:14-15 "And this is
the confidence that we have in Him, that, if we ask anything according
to His will, He heareth us: And if we know that He hear us, whatsoever
we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of Him."
The Lord
will be sympathetic to us and escalate His eternal redemption plan if we
ask Him. He will hear us from heaven and respond to our pleas for
deliverance. He will not make an end to all things in this world, but
He will empower us to restructure and re-create it according to His
impeccable standards. Heaven itself is coming to the earth realm very
soon. However, this will not be a peaceful takeover of the planet. It
will meet with tremendous demonic resistance.
Satan
knows that his days are numbered and that he must relinquish his control
over all things back to mankind. Jesus Christ made an open show of him
on Calvary and took back authority on the earth. He has given His very
own anointing power to us as His followers and now we must wield it, as
we are destined to do. In the days to come, we will take total dominion
over the devil and seize the entire world from his grasp to present to
our Lord and Savior at His coming.
We will
put all enemies under Christ's feet. There will be no more war and
violence, no greed or exploitation. Disease and death will soon be
things of the past. Pollution and natural disasters will be
eliminated. Nothing evil or defiling will ever enter into the Kingdom
of God because the Lord will dwell there. All of creation will be in
balance and subject to man. Everyone will know the Lord - from the
least to the greatest of us - and we will obey all of His laws.
Jeremiah 1:9-10 "Then the Lord put
forth His hand, and touched my mouth. And the Lord said unto me, Behold,
I have put my words in thy mouth. See, I have this day set thee over the
nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to
destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant."
All
world governments and their economies will be restructured to adhere to
Kingdom principles of fairness, justice and equality for all mankind.
Peace and stability will be established on the earth, so that no one is
afraid of exploitation or oppression any longer. All of nature will be
re-created, to eliminate all decay and destruction. We will speak to
the climate and regulate it, so there are no more natural disasters.
Plants and animals will soon be in harmony with man, as they once were
in the Garden of Eden.
We will
bring in the Kingdom of God with power and glory unmatched in all the
universe. Our words that line up with the Word of God and His will,
will dramatically impact the entire earth for good. The Lord
will back us up and cause us to take dominion in this world, as we are
ordained to do. Everything will be returned to divine order, as God
desires. He will send legions of angels to assist in our efforts.
Nothing will remain the same. The entire earth will be prepared for the
arrival of our Lord and Savior.
Jesus
Christ will soon return to receive His Kingdom as His eternal
inheritance. He will share His very own honor and glory with His Body
and His Bride. The people of God will dwell in perpetual peace and
prosperity in the very presence of God Himself. We will have endless
blessings, with no downside at all. Nothing evil will ever come near us
or defile the serenity of our lives. Many will come to know the Lord
and worship Him in Spirit and in truth for all of eternity, as a result
of our efforts on their behalf.
The Kingdom of God is Within Us
Psalm 82:6 "I have said, Ye
[are] gods; and all of you [are] children of the most High."
We were
created in the very image and likeness of God. A spark of the divine
indwells each of us. We were born to walk with Him in intimacy and
never leave His presence. However, Adam's sin changed all that and
brought an end to our close relationship with our Creator. The Lord had
to develop an alternate plan to redeem us from our sins and reconcile us
to Himself.
When we
were born again and accepted Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, we
yielded our lives to Him. We traded our old sinful nature for a brand
new start. We became new creatures in Christ and our right standing
with God was finally restored. We became the actual sons and daughters
of almighty God Himself and we have received great and precious
promises.
Very
soon now, the Lord will gather us into His presence for all time. He
will bring heaven itself to the earth realm, so that all those who love
Him can be together in the Kingdom of God. He will make certain that
all of our needs are met in abundance, and we will inherit eternal life
and all its many benefits. There will be peace, prosperity, safety,
security, health and longevity.
The
Kingdom of God will be the spectacular culmination of the Lord's eternal
redemption plan for His people. We need not wait any longer for our
eternal blessings; we can walk in the Kingdom way of life now, even
before Jesus Christ returns to us. We should practice peace and
brotherly love, and make certain that there is fairness and justice made
available to all mankind.
If we
are diligent, we will see the Kingdom manifest during this generation.
The Gospel must be preached to all the nations of the world. We will
call in the full number of souls that is required in the end-time
harvest. We will correct all social injustice; eradicate war and
conflict; eliminate poverty and lack. All mankind will learn to dwell
in love and unity through our efforts.
Luke 17:21 "Neither shall
they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the Kingdom of God is
within you."
All the
attributes of the Kingdom itself reside in the sincere born again
believer. We have a personal relationship with God. We keep all of His
commandments and are obedient. We are loving and kind in our dealings
with all men - believers and unbelievers. We lay down our lives for the
benefit of all mankind and appropriate divine power and authority to
overcome evil.
We walk
in the Spirit instead of our flesh. We accept our eternal callings and
take dominion over all matters on the earth, as we are destined to do.
We destroy demonic strongholds, so that God's people are free from
oppression. We heal the sick, cast out demons and raise the dead, just
as Christ once did. We preach the Gospel of peace with real power and
conviction.
As we
share our faith with others, we will see the Kingdom way of life spread
all over the earth to men, women and children in every nation of the
world. Everyone whose name is written in the Lamb's Book of Life will
be called in, converted and baptized. We will teach them how to dwell
in love, peace and unity and prepare the entire planet for the return of
Jesus Christ.
The
Kingdom of God promises that we will have all our needs met in
abundance. If we are faithful and devoted to our Lord and Savior, Jesus
Christ, He will make certain that we are always healthy, happy and
prosperous. However, we must walk in His ways and be totally righteous
and loving, as we have been taught. Only those who are fully obedient
will be blessed.
James 3:17-18 "But the wisdom that
is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be
intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and
without hypocrisy. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of
them that make peace."
The
people of God shine as beacons in a darkened world. We are filled with
all the attributes of God Himself, by the power of the Holy Spirit at
work in and through us. We radiate all the fruit of the Spirit in our
daily lives and work miracles, signs and wonders to attest to our
faith. We exemplify the Kingdom of God and all of its many benefits to
others on a regular basis.
Believers trust in the Lord to have all their needs met now and for all
of eternity. We are healthy, happy and prosperous. We minister
unselfishly to the needs of others and lay down our lives for our
brothers and sisters. We pray for and encourage one another in the Body
of Christ, and spread the Gospel of the Kingdom so that all humanity has
an opportunity to be free.
We will
take control of all world governments and their economies and establish
fairness and justice as Kingdom principles for living. There will be no
more war, violence or conflict, no poverty or lack of any kind. All of
creation will line up with the Word and the will of God. We will
establish harmony in both the plant and animal kingdoms and even
regulate the climate.
Nothing
will remain the same. The Kingdom of God will turn the entire world
upside down and right side up. It will manifest in each of our lives
and all around us. There will be love, peace and unity in all of our
relationships. Men will learn to dwell together as brothers and worship
God in Spirit and in truth. We are returning to life in the Garden of
Eden, as we were promised.
We will
have all of our needs met according to God's riches in glory. He will
make certain that we are extravagantly blessed for all of eternity. We
will share in all the vast resources of wealth that the universe has to
offer us. No one will be selfish, greedy or contentious; the Lord will
make certain that all of our needs - both temporal and spiritual - are
satisfied in abundance.
No Passivity Allowed
Psalm 115:16 "The Heaven, [even] the
Heavens, [are] the LORD'S: but the Earth hath He given to the children
of men."
The Lord has given the earth to men
and He will not interfere here, unless we ask Him for divine
intervention in our personal affairs. We must earnestly petition Him to
bring heaven to the earth realm, so that we can correct the gross
injustice and eliminate all the darkness and destruction that surround
us. We need our God and His way of doing things to set matters straight
in this world. The human race is suffering from the cumulative effects
of sin and evil.
Our Creator wants to deliver us from
our self-imposed pain and delusion. It is His deepest, heart-felt
desire to draw all of mankind to Himself and gather us into His Kingdom
right here on the earth. The Lord will meet all of our needs in
abundance and gives us health and prosperity for all of eternity. All
He asks in return is that we love Him and one another and walk in His
ways. This message must be communicated to men, women and children all
over the planet.
We have a formidable task ahead of us,
but we will not be alone in accomplishing it. The Lord will endue us
with awesome power from on high to work miracles in His name. We must
be prepared to shake up the entire world and rectify the current
imbalance that exists. We will be given a full anointing similar to
that which Jesus Christ Himself walked in. We will establish peace and
justice on the earth, so our Lord and Savior can return to us for His
eternal reign.
1Corinthians 1:30 "But of Him
are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and
righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:"
We have
important destinies to fulfill. We are kings and priests of God in
training for reigning and our thoughts, words and behavior have to be
above and beyond reproach. The Lord, Jesus Christ, was perfect and
obedient and we must always follow His example. We have been given the
mind of Christ, His very own wisdom and understanding. Nothing will be
impossible to us in the critical days that lie ahead.
Our
righteousness and sanctification must be unmatched. All men will be
looking to the Body of Christ and we should be good role models for
them. We will deliver countless numbers from demonic oppression and
bondage to sin. We will heal all those who are sick and afflicted. We
will defeat the enemy once and for all and overcome evil with good. The
hearts of men will be changed and prepared to meet our King.
We will
assist the Lord in actually bringing heaven to the earth in the Kingdom
of God. His way of doing things will prevail over the present world
system. There will finally be peace, order and stability on the earth,
as it is in heaven. There will be no more death and destruction,
poverty and lack, pain and suffering. The Lord will make certain that
His people are blessed beyond their expectations for all of eternity.
2Corinthians 4:7 "But we have
this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may
be of God, and not of us."
God's
people cannot rest on their laurels and simply wait for His Kingdom to
manifest. We should not be beguiled by man-made theories that promise
us we will be raptured out of here either. We cannot be passive and
expect that the Lord will do all the work in bringing heaven to the
earth realm. He desires to partner with us, so that we fulfill our
divine destinies and help to set others free from bondage to sin and
affliction. We must preach the Gospel, heal the sick, cast out demons
and even raise the dead back to life again, as we have been
commissioned.
We will
be given divine power and authority to act on God's behalf and take back
the entire planet for the Kingdom of God. We have to follow all of
Christ's directives to us, so that the earth is completely transformed
and prepared for Him to rule and reign in His Kingdom. We will
challenge all world governments and economic systems to make certain
that they line up with Kingdom principles of fairness and justice for
all. We will speak to all of creation and restore it to its former
beauty and balance, as it originally was in the Garden of Eden.
The Lord
will move through His people to rectify the current imbalance that
exists on the earth. It is His power, and that alone, which will
implement all the necessary change. We are simply vessels consecrated
for His use and He will fulfill His eternal redemption plan through us.
Our part is to be sanctified, willing and obedient to His purpose. We
cannot have our own selfish agendas or there will be valuable work that
remains undone. We have eternal callings as the sons and daughters of
God in the critical days to come, and we should be willing and obedient.
Isaiah 55:9 "For [as] the
Heavens are higher than the Earth, so are my ways higher than your ways,
and my thoughts than your thoughts."
If we
will proactively seek His guidance and direction for our lives, the Lord
will show Himself strong in His people and move over the face of the
entire world to eliminate social injustice and inequality. He will put
an end to all wars and civil unrest. Greed and exploitation will no
longer rule men's lives. There will be no more victims; men everywhere
will be released from bondage and oppression to real freedom.
There
will be love and peace on the earth and we will turn men's hearts back
to their God, so that He can heal us of all our self-inflicted pain and
suffering. We have to learn to trust in Him rather than put our faith
in Babylonian world systems that continue to fail us. We must realize
that we do not have all the answers; God's ways are much higher than our
own and His solutions are the only ones that truly work.
The Lord
will have us establish peace, order and stability in all of creation.
The climate will be regulated and the effects of pollution will all be
reversed. There will be no more natural disasters that frighten and
harm mankind ever again. Plants and animals will be in harmony with one
another and subject to man's dominion. Life in the Kingdom will be a
veritable paradise, the perfect habitat for both God and man.
Timothy 6:12 "Fight the good fight of
faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and
hast professed a good profession before many witnesses."
The Kingdom of God will solve all of
our problems and be the answer to all of our prayers. However, we
cannot simply have book knowledge of it as a spiritual concept; we must
actively seize it and implement its principles in our lives to see
lasting results. Rather than just comprehend it, we must purposely
apprehend it with all due diligence. We will actualize God's Kingdom by
stepping into it now, even before Jesus Christ returns to establish His
eternal reign.
If we walk in uncompromising
righteousness and love for God and for others, we will be halfway
there. If we accept our eternal callings and divine destinies; share
our faith with others as we are supposed to do; and release men from
bondage and oppression of all types, we will indeed see the Kingdom come
in this generation. We must the good fight of faith and establish godly
principles as the foundation for our lives. If we are sincere, the Lord
will back us up in all we do.
He will have us bring heaven into the
earth realm, so that believers can dwell with Him for all of eternity.
We will have peace and prosperity, safety and security, health and
longevity. We will all be loving and fellowship together as brothers
and sisters. There will be no more greed or exploitation of anyone.
All of our needs will be met equitably. No civil unrest, war, conflict
or violence of any kind will ever disturb the joy and serenity of life
in the Kingdom of God.
Mark 10:44 "And whosoever of
you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all."
If we
would one day be masters of all in the Kingdom of God, we must first
learn to willingly and humbly serve others, just as Jesus did when He
walked the earth. He laid down His very life for the benefit of all of
mankind, and we should be willing to follow in His footsteps. We must
imitate His loving, subservient attitude and dedicate our own lives to
the welfare of others.
The
Kingdom of God and all of its attributes are deep within us. We are at
peace with God and our fellow man. We are loving, sincere, meek and
obedient. We desire the things of God over the things of this world.
We share our faith with others, so that they can also be set free. We
promote brotherhood with all of mankind, so that we can establish God's
will on the earth.
It is
possible for us to walk in the Kingdom way of life now. We should adopt
all of its principles and incorporate them into our lives even before
Christ returns. We can enjoy all the benefits of Kingdom life, if we
trust in God and adopt His ways, as we were taught. If we are
completely righteous and walk in love for God and others, the Kingdom of
God will soon manifest.
We will
be key players in its government as kings and priests of God. We will
judge both men and angels. We will be given the heathen for our
inheritance in the uttermost parts of the earth. We will share in Jesus
Christ's very own honor and glory and rule and reign with Him over all
the nations of the world. He will boast of us to all of creation as His
very own Body and Bride.
A Call to Glory
2Peter 1:3 "According as His
divine power hath given unto us all things that [pertain] unto life and
godliness, through the knowledge of Him that hath called us to glory and
virtue:"
We have
been called from the foundation of the world to come up higher and serve
the Lord in fulfilling His eternal redemption plan. Everything that we
have experienced in our lives has led up to this important moment. We
are embracing our divine destinies and we will be impacting all of
creation. Nothing will remain the same; both heaven and earth will be
affected.
There
will be much needed change that is implemented in the critical days
ahead. We will overcome all evil with good by the power of God that
works through us to correct the imbalance that currently exists. The
sons and daughters of God will rise up in their kingly and priestly
anointing and take back all that was stolen from us over the years by
Satan, the enemy of our souls.
The
Kingdom of God has been delayed for far too long, but it will be
introduced with power and glory in the very near future. We will make
certain that all enemies are put under Christ's feet, so that He can
return to rule and reign for all of eternity. The Lord will send
legions of ministering angels to assist us in our efforts. We will be
more than conquerors in all we do.
Colossians 1:27 "To whom God
would make known what [is] the riches of the glory of this mystery among
the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:"
When we
made Jesus Christ the Lord of our lives, He actually came and took up
residence in us. He spawned a new species of creatures and we are
literally part of Him. We are His disciples and His representatives on
the earth. He is the Head and we are His Body - His hands, feet and
voice. We will pick up His ministry where He left off and serve Him and
His people, as we are destined to do.
The Body
of Christ will be instrumental in bringing much needed change to the
earth in the days to come. Jesus Christ will work through us to set up
His everlasting Kingdom. We will have a full anointing in His very own
power and authority to take back everything in the entire world for the
Kingdom of God. We will tear down demonic strongholds that hold men in
bondage to sin and overcome all evil with good.
We will
preach the Gospel of the Kingdom with real power and conviction, so that
no one will perish for lack of knowledge. We will heal all those who
are sick and afflicted. The blind will see; the deaf will hear; the
lame will walk. We will cast out devils and set men free of oppression
and bondage of all types. We will even raise the dead back to life once
again, by the awesome power and glory of God Himself.
The
hearts of men will be prepared to meet their King. The Kingdom of God
will manifest for all of mankind to see. Christ will be free to return
to us and there will be heaven on the earth, as we have been promised.
He will judge all the nations of the world and determine who will
inherit Kingdom blessings and rewards. He will share His very own honor
and glory with those who have faithfully served Him.
John 17:22 "And the glory
which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we
are one:"
We will
walk in total love and unity in the Body of Christ, under the leadership
and guidance of Jesus Christ. We will take back the entire planet for
the Kingdom of God and restore peace and order on the earth, as He
desires. The Lord will be with us in all that we are called to do, and
endue us with the very anointing power of Jesus to do good wherever we
go.
We will
be humble and patient with all men, knowing that our godly example is
more important than anything else. We will be living testimonies to the
endless love of God at work in us and through us to reach out to all of
mankind. We will share our faith and work miracles of healing and
deliverance in Christ's name to set men free of all types of bondage.
We will
restructure and reorganize all world governments to make certain that
Kingdom principles of fairness and justice for all are enforced. We
will touch the hearts of all men, to include those who are despotic,
dictatorial and cruel to their people. They will either comply with
God's law of love or be removed from their positions of leadership for
all time.
We will
develop strong coalitions with believers all over the world, and take
back everything that the enemy has stolen from us as a group of people.
There will no longer be strife and division among us. We will find our
common ground and move forward as one entity. We will join together in
singularity of purpose to usher in the Kingdom of God in all its glory.
Romans 5:1-2 "Therefore,
being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus
Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we
stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God."
Our
faith in Jesus Christ has made us fully righteous and at peace with
God. In fact, He regards us as His very own sons and daughters. He has
endowed us with supernatural gifts and divine authority, so that we can
rescue all of humanity from its current deception and destruction. We
have a sacred responsibility to serve our God and minister love and
healing to His people.
We will
overcome all evil with good through the anointing power of God at work
through us. We will destroy all demonic strongholds and establish
peace, order and stability as Kingdom principles. There will be no more
war, violence or conflict between men. Social injustice and
exploitation will be things of the past. No one will be greedy,
tyrannical or oppress another.
All of
mankind will learn to dwell together as brothers, or be expelled to the
lake of fire for eternal punishment. Satan and all his minions will be
banished to the abyss. There will be no evil or defilement that will
ever enter into the Kingdom of God and contaminate its people. The Lord
Himself will dwell with us as an assurance of perpetual peace, order and
tranquility.
He will
boast of us to all of creation and vindicate us before both men and
angels. We will share in Christ's very own honor and glory, and rule
and reign with Him over all the nations of the world. We will have the
heathen for our inheritance and even be appointed as kings and priests.
We will make certain that God's way of doing things prevails in His
Kingdom for all eternity.
Philippians 2:9-11 "Wherefore
God also hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a name which is above
every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of [things]
in Heaven, and [things] in Earth, and [things] under the Earth; And
[that] every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ [is] Lord, to the
glory of God the Father."
Very
soon now, the awesome glory of God will manifest and heaven itself will
come to the earth realm, as we have been promised. We will destroy all
demonic strongholds in the name of Jesus Christ. There will be no more
fear, oppression or exploitation of anyone. Men will fully cooperate
with one another or be banished to eternal punishment in the lake of
fire. We will dwell together as brothers and willingly share in the
vast resources that the universe has to offer God's people.
All
those who believe in the Lord, Jesus Christ, and are continually
righteous will have peace and prosperity, safety and security, joy and
gladness, health and longevity for all of eternity. We will dwell in
the very presence of the Lord Himself and have an intimate relationship
with Him and with one another. All of nature will be beautiful and
bountiful as we enter in to the new and improved Garden of Eden.
Life
will be idyllic, perpetually peaceful, joyous and serene in the Kingdom
of God. It will be the perfect habitat for both God and man to enjoy
for all time. We will keep company with men and angels, since heaven
itself will come to the earth realm. The dead in Christ will rise to be
reunited with us and we will observe all of the Lord's special feast
days and sabbaths, as He desires. We will all worship the Lord in
Spirit and in truth and travel to Jerusalem, as we are instructed.
Every
knee will bow and every tongue proclaim that "Jesus Christ is Lord over
all of creation." All things in heaven and on the earth will be joined
under His lordship. He will rule and reign as a righteous King and
there will be no evil or defilement that will ever contaminate the
perfection of His Kingdom. He will share His very own honor and glory
with those of us who have served Him and we will be kings and priests.
The Kingdom Comes With Tribulation
Deuteronomy 4:30-31 "When thou art in
tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, [even] in the
latter days, if thou turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient
unto His voice; (For the LORD thy God [is] a merciful God;) He will not
forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy
fathers which He sware unto them."
The people of God have suffered
miserably through the years, but the Lord will not leave us alone and
stranded in the days to come. He will make a way for us to overcome all
evil and take back our dominion on the earth. His eternal redemption
plan is nothing short of genius. He will uphold His covenant promises
to us and gather us to Himself for all of eternity, as He has sworn to
do. He will never leave us or forsake us; we are the people called by
His holy name, who will assist Him in re-creating the entire earth.
We have divine destinies to fulfill
before we can enjoy life in the Kingdom of God. We must preach the
Gospel with new fervor, and baptize all who are willing to receive
Christ as their Lord and Savior. We must heal all the sick and cast out
demons. We will even raise the dead back to life again. We will
destroy all forms of demonic oppression that keep men in bondage to
their sins and at odds with one another. We will establish peace, order
and stability in our affairs and renew all of nature to be in harmony
with man.
Nothing that we do will be done in our
own strength. We are simply willing and obedient vessels for the Lord's
use, instruments of change that is greatly needed. He will imbue us
with His very own divine power and authority to set matters straight in
this world, so that Christ can return to us for His eternal rule and
reign. We will be strong in the power of His might and forcibly usher
in the Kingdom of God in all of its glory. Nothing will remain the
same; heaven itself will come to the earth whether men are ready or not.
Acts 14:22 "Confirming the
souls of the disciples, [and] exhorting them to continue in the faith,
and that we must through much tribulation enter into the Kingdom of
God."
The Lord
is waiting for us to come up higher and fulfill our eternal callings and
divine destinies. He requires that we partner with Him in establishing
His Kingdom. We cannot shirk our responsibility or things will become
even bleaker on the earth. We must seek His divine guidance and
direction and walk in Christ's very own anointing. We should rise up in
the power and authority that has been given to us and take our place as
the sons of almighty God Himself.
It is
critical that the Gospel be preached to all mankind, so that the full
end-time harvest of souls can be gathered in. We must heal the sick of
all their diseases and afflictions just as Christ did. We should set
men free of demonic oppression of all types. We will even raise the
dead back to life again, so that they can also share in Kingdom
blessings. All mankind will be impacted with the love, mercy and
compassion of the Lord that is demonstrated through His people.
The Body
of Christ is destined to be an instrument of change that will transform
the entire earth and prepare it for the Kingdom of God to be ushered in,
as the Lord desires. We will take back the dominion that we once had
from Satan and destroy all of his enemy strongholds. All world
governments will be realigned according to Kingdom principles of peace,
righteousness and justice. We will take control of creation itself and
restore its original beauty and balance.
This
will not be an easy task for us, nor a friendly takeover of the planet.
The devil will do all that He can to impede our progress and interfere
with our work. But we will overcome him by the Blood of the Lamb and
the word of our testimony. The very words that we speak will line up
with the Word of God and His perfect will for all of mankind. We will
bind all demonic operations and loose many blessings on the earth, as we
are destined to do. Nothing will remain the same.
Matthew 11:12 "And from the
days of John the Baptist until now the Kingdom of Heaven suffereth
violence, and the violent take it by force."
There is
war going on in the heavenly realms right now. Satanic forces are doing
battle with the Lord of hosts and His angelic army. We feel the
repercussions here on the earth as demonic oppression of God's people
escalates. The devil knows his time is short and he is doing everything
possible to interfere with the coming of the Kingdom of God. He wants
to totally destroy all of mankind.
He is no
match for Christ and His end-times army. Angelic forces are joining
with the Body of Christ to take back full dominion over everything in
the earth. We are rising up in a kingly and priestly anointing, very
much like that of Christ Himself. We are taking control of world
governments and economies to make certain that they line up with Kingdom
principles of peace, justice and equality.
All
creation is waiting for the sons of God to be revealed, so that we can
set matters straight in the natural world. We will take full authority
over the plant and animal kingdoms and establish balance and harmony
with man. There will be no more natural disasters that cause
destruction.
All
pollution will be abolished and the earth will be renewed by the power
of God at work through His people.
The
Kingdom of God suffers violence and the sons of God are taking it by
force, as we must. We will not refuse our divine destinies; we will be
totally successful in bringing in the Kingdom and delivering it to our
Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Whatever we do will be by the power and
operation of the Holy Spirit that works in us and through us, to
accomplish good and overcome all that is evil.
Revelation 12:10 "And I heard
a loud voice saying in Heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and
the Kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ: for the accuser of
our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and
night."
We are
to pave the way for Jesus Christ's return and prepare the earth for the
Kingdom of God and all of its many blessings. God's people will not be
taken out of this world, as some believe, but they will impact it for
good. We are key players in establishing the Kingdom of God - Christ's
very own Body on the earth. We will subdue the devil and destroy all of
his efforts to impede our progress.
Christ
is not returning as a meek and mild Lamb of God this time. He has
vengeance in His heart to destroy all the ungodly and their
ungodliness. He has seen all the oppression and suffering of His people
and He will vindicate our cause for all of eternity. He will personally
take vengeance on all of our enemies. All evil will be removed far from
us and eternally punished in the lake of fire.
The
people of God will no longer be oppressed and accused of unrighteousness
by the enemy of their souls. Satan will be cast down for all time and
expelled from the earth to the bottomless pit, so he can no longer
harass us or cause destruction in our lives. We will ultimately prevail
in all matters in this world and exercise total dominion, as Christ
intends for His saints to do in the days to come.
The Lord
will establish justice and equality, peace and prosperity, safety and
security as the normal standards for Kingdom living. He will make
certain that all men are treated fairly. He will generously provide all
our needs from the extensive wealth that the universe has to offer us.
He will rule the nations of the world with a rod of iron so we can live
peacefully, free of fear and molestation.
The Keys to the Kingdom
Matthew 16:19 "And I will
give unto thee the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on
Earth shall be bound in Heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt
loose on Earth shall be loosed in Heaven."
We were
created in the image and likeness of God. We have access to His
awesome, divine power and authority if we fully consecrate ourselves.
With words, the Lord created the entire universe. With our words that
line up with His very own, we will re-create it according to heavenly
standards. Our words are containers of power and potential. They are
capable of creation or destruction.
The Body
of Christ is at work even now, in preparation for the coming of God's
Kingdom to the earth. We are tearing down all demonic strongholds that
blind men to the truth and keep them in bondage to lies. We are sharing
our faith; spreading the Gospel of the Kingdom; baptizing men and
bringing in a huge number of souls in the end-time harvest.
We are
destroying all the attempts of the enemy to interfere with our work and
impede the coming of the Kingdom. Satan's strength is waning, as we
take back total control and dominion over all matters in this world. We
are doing spiritual warfare that changes men's lives for the better. We
are binding all hindering spirits that keep them from the truth and
loosing God's blessings to them instead.
Whatever
we forbid to occur on the earth will be bound in heaven and must cease
and desist. Whatever we loose in the way of blessings will manifest.
The Lord will back up our efforts. We will have legions of avenging
angels that will come against all the minions of Satan. Good will
prevail over all evil, and we will usher in the Kingdom of God!
Matthew 12:37 "For by thy
words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be
condemned."
Our
words that line up with the Word and the will of God will take back
total dominion over all things in the earth. We must be very certain
that what we speak is what has been commanded to us. We cannot be
careless with our words or we will be held accountable. Words are
weapons of warfare and tools for creativity. Our words have power and
possibility inherent in them.
We call
those things, which be not in the natural realm, into existence with
faith-based words. We put our faith into action by decreeing it with
our mouths. We must be very careful that our words line up with the
Word and the will of God. He is totally sovereign and His way of doing
things far exceeds our own. We have to think like He thinks and speak
like He speaks.
If we
speak positive things into our environment, then positive results will
manifest in the natural realm. However, if we speak negativity, that
will also appear. We should make certain that we decree only good
things in our lives, so that we can indeed see the fruit of our words
materialize for good in our situations and circumstances. If we indulge
in idle words, we will be condemned.
When we
speak negatively, that cancels out our positive affirmations. We must
only speak what God would speak. We must be careful to hear from Him in
the critical days that lie ahead and wield His Word with power and
authority. It will not return to us void, but it will be effective in
tearing down demonic strongholds and producing many blessings in our
lives.
Matthew 12:36 "But I say unto
you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account
thereof in the day of judgment."
We are
walking, talking spirits that have real power in our lives. We operate
in the very anointing of Jesus Christ Himself. We cannot be careless
about the use of our words; they are creative or destructive in nature.
If we speak negatively, we will unleash negative results in our world.
If we speak good and positive affirmations, then these will also
materialize. We should not ever be careless with our words or there may
be lasting repercussions.
It is
critical that we hear from God in the days to come and only speak what
He would have us say. He has a perfect plan in place for the redemption
of the human race and the renovation of the entire earth. Our words
will change seemingly impossible situations and circumstances that we
incur. Spiritual decrees that line up with the Word of God will have
awesome results. We will see heaven itself brought into the earth realm
through our faith-based words.
We are
all going to stand judgment before the mercy seat of Jesus Christ. If
we have been disobedient and spoken idle words, we will be held
accountable for them. Whatever we loose into the world with our mouths,
should line up with what Christ Himself would say. He was our role
model and only spoke words the Father told Him to speak on the earth.
We must realize that our positive, faith-filled words hold power and
will change the fate of mankind.
Colossians 3:17 "And
whatsoever ye do in word or deed, [do] all in the name of the Lord
Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by Him."
We must
discipline ourselves, just as Christ Himself did when He walked the
earth. He was in constant prayer and communication with His Father, so
that He only said what the Father told Him to speak and did what the
Father told Him to do. His success was based on His obedience.
If we
take the time to pray and receive instruction from Jesus Christ as the
Head of His Body on the earth, then we will only do and speak what He
commands us. He has a perfect plan in place for the redemption of all
mankind. The timing and the details of His strategy are all precise.
Christ
has commissioned us to go forth in His name and preach the Gospel of the
Kingdom of God all over the world to all of mankind. We must be very
careful that we do not add or detract from it in any way. It has the
power to save men for all of eternity, just as it has been written.
The Holy
Spirit will fill our mouths with the Word of God, so that we can attract
unprecedented numbers to the Kingdom. Many will be converted, saved and
baptized through our words that line up with God's very own. We will
see miraculous signs and wonders as a result of our efforts.
The full
number of souls will be harvested, so that the Kingdom can be ushered
into the earth with all of its power and glory. The entire world will
be changed by the Word of God that is spoken by His people. We will
glorify our God in all that we say and do in the critical days ahead.
Christ
will soon return to receive His Kingdom from the Body of Christ and
commence His rule and reign. We will have to put all enemies underneath
His feet, so that every tongue proclaims that "Jesus Christ is Lord."
All men will know the Lord and the awesome power of His might.
The Kingdom Comes in Power
1Corinthians 4:20 "For the
Kingdom of God [is] not in word, but in power."
The
Kingdom of God will be introduced with such dynamic, explosive, raw
power that the entire universe will be impacted. Heaven will actually
collide with the earth to bring re-creation and renewal in its wake.
Nothing will remain the same; the entire planet will be refurbished to
line up with the Word and the will of God for mankind. Good will
prevail over evil for all of eternity, as the Lord has ordained it.
This is
not a myth or fairy tale; it is God's promise to His people. Heaven's
way of doing things will come to this planet whether we are ready or
not. We must prepare ourselves for global change that will impact all
of our lives for good. We should be certain that we are totally
righteous and walking in love, so we can enjoy eternal blessings rather
than be excluded and punished.
We can
walk in the Kingdom way of life now and enjoy all of its benefits. If
we appropriate godly standards of love, peace and righteousness even
before Christ returns, we will operate in all the power and authority
that He did when He walked the earth. We will preach the Gospel with
real confidence and conviction and work miracles, signs and wonders in
His name, so that all men might be set free.
The
people of God must sincerely desire His way of doing things and being
right, in order for the Kingdom of God to manifest. If we are
sanctified for His purpose, the Lord will imbue us with supernatural
gifts and power to set matters straight on the earth. We must present
ourselves as vessels for His use, and He will show Himself strong and
accomplish mighty feats through us.
1Chronicles 29:11-12 "Thine,
O LORD, [is] the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the
victory, and the majesty: for all [that is] in the Heaven and in the
Earth [is thine]; thine [is] the Kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted
as head above all. Both riches and honour come of thee, and thou
reignest over all; and in thine hand is power and might; and in thine
hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all."
The
power and glory of God will fall all over the world to attest to the
fact that we are indeed the sons of God, who are destined to take back
the earth for Jesus Christ. There will be miraculous signs, wonders,
healings and deliverances that will demonstrate the mercy and compassion
of God for all of His people. We will even call the dead back to life
again, so that they can enter the Kingdom. All of the righteous will
inherit its many benefits and enjoy eternal life, as we have been
promised.
All the
nations of the world will be challenged to align with principles of
fairness and justice for all. There will ultimately be peace and order
in this world, as the Lord desires. Men will no longer destroy one
another or the planet itself. We will re-create all of nature, so that
it is no longer in chaos and decay. All plants and animals will be in
harmony with one another and under our authority. There will be no more
adverse effects of water and air pollution or natural disasters that
harm mankind.
We will
take full dominion over the enemy, as we have been destined to do, and
bring the Kingdom of God into the earth with all of its many blessings
for believers. The Lord Himself will dwell with us as a loving Father
and supply all of our needs. There will be peace and prosperity, safety
and security, joy and gladness, health and longevity for all of
eternity. All men will be righteous and walk in love and unity with one
another or be expelled from the Kingdom of God into the lake of fire.
Mark 9:1 "And He said unto
them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here,
which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the Kingdom of God
come with power."
We are
sacred vessels for the Lord's use in ushering in His Kingdom. We will
receive full impartations of the anointing power and authority of Christ
Himself. We will take back the earth and everything in it from Satan,
the enemy of our souls. The Gospel will be preached throughout the
world. Men will flock to the light of it in unprecedented numbers and
they will be set free from all demonic oppression. Life will never be
the same when the Kingdom of God manifests.
Heaven
itself is being brought right here to the earth. If we believe in the
Lord, Jesus Christ, and His death and resurrection on our behalf, we
will have eternal life. Christ died so that we would be freed from the
penalty of sin, which is death itself. Not all of us will die, but we
will all be changed in the twinkling of an eye by the awesome, creative
power of God Himself. Our corruptible flesh must put on the
incorruptible, in order to actually enter into the Kingdom of God.
There
will be no more separation of God and man. We will have eternal life in
the spirit and in the flesh. All the dead in Christ will be raised from
the dead, and we will all put on glorious, resurrection bodies that are
impervious to disease and death and live forever in the presence of
almighty God. We will be healthy and strong and live life to the
fullest. There will be nothing that defiles us or causes us any more
pain. The Lord will make all things new, as He has promised.
Revelation 11:15 "And the
seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in Heaven, saying,
The kingdoms of this world are become [the Kingdoms] of our Lord, and of
His Christ; and He shall reign for ever and ever."
We are
rapidly approaching the point of no return. We cannot afford to look
back at the way things used to be on this planet. It will be renewed
and restructured. Everything in heaven and earth will soon be united
under the lordship of Jesus Christ Himself. The kingdoms of this world
will eventually be shaken, purged and absorbed into the everlasting
Kingdom of God.
Jesus
Christ will soon return to receive His Kingdom as His inheritance.
Nothing and no one that defiles us will ever enter into the Kingdom of
God. We are promised that Christ will destroy all the ungodly and their
ungodliness in the wrath of His coming. He is determined to remove all
evil off the face of the entire earth, so that peace, love, fairness and
justice will prevail.
Only
Christ can determine who is righteous among us and who is lawless and
rebellious. He will judge both the living and the dead, all men and
even angels. He alone is totally righteous and privileged to decide who
will be punished and who will receive eternal blessings and lasting
rewards. His judgment will be fair, just and equitable, but final and
permanent, as well.
Our Lord
and Savior will share His Kingdom with all who have been loyal and
faithful to Him. He will not forget our devoted service to Him and His
people in bringing heaven to the earth. We will be honored and
glorified for our roles as the sons of God. He will appoint us as kings
and priests of God and we will rule and reign with Him over all the
nations of the world.
The Return of Jesus Christ
Luke 21:25-28 "And there shall be
signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth
distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things
which are coming on the Earth: for the powers of Heaven shall be shaken.
And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and
great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up,
and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh."
God's people have experienced tests,
trials and tribulation for thousands of years. We have struggled to
maintain our faith in a world that disdains us, and battled incessantly
with Satan, the very enemy of our souls. We have suffered from pain and
misery, illness and premature death, poverty and lack, scorn and
derision, but the Lord has heard our cries for relief. He has a plan in
place for our eternal redemption that will soon be fully consummated.
The heavens will be rent and there
will be awesome signs and wonders that precede the return of our Lord
and Savior, Jesus Christ. He is not coming as the meek and mild Lamb of
God this time. He has vengeance in His heart and an earnest desire to
consummate the redemption of His people. The Bible tells us that Christ
will touch down on the Mount of Olives outside of Jerusalem and cause a
global earthquake of such magnitude that it will split the earth.
Our
Savior will banish Satan and all his minions to the bottomless pit and
protect us from all harm. All those who are unrighteous will be
punished in the eternal lake of fire. There will be nothing that
defiles God's people or interrupts the peace and serenity of Kingdom
life. The Lord will dwell there with us and no evil can enter into His
mighty presence. Christ will rule with a rod of iron to make certain
that nothing ever disturbs life in His Kingdom.
Mark 13:26 "And then shall
they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and
glory."
The
return of Jesus Christ will be accompanied with explosive, divine power
that is felt throughout the entire universe. There will be miracles,
signs and wonders in all of creation that signify His coming. He is
returning as the King of kings and Lord of lords, and nothing will
interfere with His second advent. At the appointed time, He will return
to receive His eternal Kingdom from the Body of Christ. Nothing will
remain the same; heaven itself will come to the earth.
Everything on the face of this planet will be altered and re-created to
align with Kingdom standards of peace and order. All evil will be
destroyed in the wrath of Christ's coming and Satan will be banished to
the abyss, so that he can no longer defile or oppress us in any way.
Our very bodies will be changed in the twinkling of an eye. We will put
on glorious, imperishable forms that live forever. We will see Christ
face-to-face and be like Him in every way.
The dead
will be raised back to life once again and stand in judgment before
Christ, to determine their eternal rewards or punishments. All men and
angels will go before Him, to see if what they have done lines up with
the will of God. All world leaders will be judged to see if they have
met Kingdom standards for righteousness, fairness and justice. No one
will escape Christ's scrutiny or evade His inevitable judgment; it will
be fair and just, yet final and permanent.
Isaiah 2:4 "And He shall
judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall
beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks:
nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn
war any more."
All the
nations of the world will stand in judgment before Christ to determine
if they have been fair and just to their people. All men and even
angels will be scrutinized to see if they will inherit rewards for their
good works or eternal punishment for their sins. The righteous will be
fully vindicated and there will be no more pain and sorrow, oppression
nor exploitation. War and conflict will be removed far from the earth.
There will be no more violence and bloodshed, no civil unrest to disturb
our lives.
Jesus
Christ will rule and reign as a righteous King with a rod of iron to
ensure that there is peace throughout His Kingdom. There will be no
defilement that interrupts the serenity of His people or ever threatens
their happiness and well-being. We will dwell as brothers and sisters
in the very presence of almighty God Himself. Life will be a veritable
paradise for all who inherit the Kingdom of God. We are going back to
the Garden of Eden with no downside whatsoever.
The Lord
will boast of us to all creation as His sons and daughters, and we will
share in Christ's very own honor and glory. We will assist Him in
enforcing Kingdom principles, and rule and reign with Him over all the
nations of the world. We will be given the heathen for our inheritance
and even be appointed kings and priests of God. All men will learn to
walk in love, peace and unity through our efforts and worship God in
Spirit and in truth. The earth will finally be as the Lord created it
from the beginning.
Matthew 16:27-28 "For the Son
of man shall come in the glory of His Father with His angels; and then
He shall reward every man according to his works. Verily I say unto
you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till
they see the Son of man coming in His Kingdom."
The
world must be renewed and renovated according to the will of God. There
will be no more evil and defilement. The hearts of all men must be
prepared to meet their King. We should preach the Gospel with power and
conviction and set others free from their bondage to sin. We will heal
the sick, cast our demons, and even raise the dead back to life once
again.
We are a
chosen generation. We have the distinct privilege and sacred
responsibility to usher in the Kingdom of God and present it to Jesus
Christ on His return. We cannot be passive and simply wait for Christ
to do all the work. He is our Head, and we are His Body, extensions of
His very own ministry. We have proactive roles to fulfill in the days
ahead.
When
Christ returns, He will be accompanied by myriads of angels that will
help Him destroy all the ungodly and their ungodliness. He will descend
from the clouds and every eye will see Him. Every knee will bow and
every tongue proclaim that "Jesus Christ is Lord over all of
creation." The Body of Christ will deliver His Kingdom to Him once and
for all.
He will
destroy all evil off the face of the earth, as He is determined to do.
There will be no more war and conflict, oppression and exploitation of
God's people. He will take vengeance on all of our enemies and render
them powerless. All evil will be banished to the lake of fire; Satan
and all of his minions will be cast into the abyss, so that they no
longer harm us.
Our
mortal bodies will soon be changed to be like Christ's very own body.
We will shed our decaying flesh and put on glorious, resurrection forms
that are impervious to disease and death, and live forever in the Lord's
presence. Even the dead in Christ will be resurrected to stand judgment
before Him to receive either eternal rewards or punishments, as He
decides.
Revelation 21:5-7 "And He
that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And He
said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. And He said
unto me, It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the
end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water
of life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will
be his God, and he shall be my son."
There's
a brand new world that will be birthed in the very near future. The
Kingdom of God promises to be the solution to all of our problems.
There will be no more violence and bloodshed, no more war and conflict,
no one left who wishes to destroy the earth and all of its inhabitants.
There will be no more pain and suffering, nor disease and death to
plague us.
We have
finally reached the consummation of all things; Christ will soon return
to receive His eternal Kingdom and deliver it to His Father. Everything
will be in readiness. We have accomplished our goals and we will now
receive our eternal rewards. We have overcome the world, our flesh and
the devil and we will be honored and glorified for all of our efforts.
Jesus
Christ is the Alpha and the Omega - the Word
of God that was instrumental in the beginning of all things - and the
key player in the end of all things, who will determine the eternal fate
of all. He is our Lord and Savior, our righteous Judge and our just
King. He will rule the nations with a rod of iron and make certain that
Kingdom integrity is maintained.
There
will be only peace and prosperity, safety and security, health and
longevity, joy and freedom for God's people. We will lack no good
thing, spiritual or temporal. The Lord will supply all of our needs in
abundance and take an intimate interest in all the details of our
lives. Life will be a paradise and we will dwell in the presence of our
God for all of eternity.
God's Everlasting Kingdom Covenant
Luke 13:29-30 "And they shall
come from the east, and [from] the west, and from the north, and [from]
the south, and shall sit down in the Kingdom of God. And, behold, there
are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last."
The
people of God come in all sizes, shapes and colors. There are righteous
men, women and children all over the world. These are the believers who
will populate the Kingdom of God and enjoy all of its blessings. The
Lord is sending out His angels to gather in His elect from the four
corners of the earth. He is issuing a special invitation to all men to
believe the truth and be saved for all eternity.
The call
to salvation is universal - open and available to all of mankind. It is
the Lord's deepest desire that all will repent and seek a personal
relationship with Him and His Son, Jesus Christ. He wants to be a
Father to each of us and provide all of our needs in abundance in the
Kingdom of God. He delights in our fellowship with Him and He wants
nothing less than our total devotion and trust in return.
His love
is unconditional and He will be overjoyed to actually dwell with us for
all of eternity. We will finally have an intimate relationship with the
Creator of the universe. He will supply all of our needs in abundance,
even before we ask Him. There is no good thing that the Lord will
withhold from His sons and daughters. He will make certain that we are
healthy and happy for all generations to come.
While
everyone has an equal opportunity to hear the Gospel message, repent and
be saved, not all of mankind will take the Lord up on His offer. There
are many who may be stubborn and rebellious, and so deceived and
overcome with evil, that they reject Him for all time. They will one
day be on the outside looking in, while all the righteous enjoy eternal
blessings and rewards in the Kingdom of God.
So too,
there will be many who are exalted in the Kingdom of God who were
formerly rejected and despised by men. Conversely, those who are puffed
up with pride and arrogance will be debased. The last may be first and
the first will be last if they are haughty in spirit. Only the Lord,
Jesus Christ, can determine who will receive eternal rewards and be
elevated to positions of authority in His Kingdom.
Daniel 2:44 "And in the days
of these kings shall the God of Heaven set up a Kingdom, which shall
never be destroyed: and the Kingdom shall not be left to other people,
[but] it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it
shall stand for ever."
The Lord
has a perfect plan in place for the redemption of His people in these
last days. He is bringing heaven itself to the earth realm, so that all
things can be united under His Son, Jesus Christ. All world kingdoms
will be challenged to see if they line up with godly principles. They
will be restructured and absorbed into the Kingdom of God.
The
Kingdom of God will last for all of eternity. Our finite minds can
hardly grasp that concept. Forever is a very long time, and we will
experience nothing but peace, joy and blessings. It will be Jesus
Christ's inheritance for righteousness and obedience, and He is willing
to share it with all those who believe in Him and walk in His ways.
We must
be born again, baptized in water and the Holy Spirit to enter into the
Kingdom of God. In addition, we must be totally sanctified and
righteous. We must walk in uncompromising love for God and for others.
We cannot be selfish or worldly in any way. If we are willing and
obedient, we will enjoy eternal life and all of its blessings.
However,
if we are rebellious and disobedient and refuse to accept the truth of
the Gospel message, we will be eternally doomed. The Lord is not
obligated to dwell with iniquity of any type, and the man committed to
sin will never see God or His Kingdom. He will be stringently judged
and condemned to his share in the eternal lake of fire.
Hebrews 8:10-11 "For this
[is] the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those
days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them
in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a
people: And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man
his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the
least to the greatest."
The
Kingdom of God is righteousness, peace and joy for all who enter into
it. Very soon now, all men will have had an opportunity to know the
Lord. The Gospel is being preached all over the earth and men are
attracted to God's Kingdom as never before. Many will be saved and
baptized in the truth that sets them free to enjoy eternal life and all
of its many blessings.
We must
be born again by water and the Holy Spirit, and continually sanctify
ourselves of all carnality and selfish soul ambitions. We have to be
certain that we are righteous and always walking in love. We should
fulfill the will of the Father in all things. We cannot compromise
God's standards in any way, or we will be disqualified from entering
into the Kingdom forever.
When the
Kingdom of God is fully established, all men will know the Lord -
from the least to the greatest of us. His laws will be written in our
minds and hearts, and we will walk in total righteousness and love for
Him and for one another. The Lord will then be free to reside with His
people for all of eternity, as He has desired from the very foundation
of the world.
Genesis 17:6-7 "And I will
make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings
shall come out of thee. And I will establish my covenant between me and
thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting
covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee."
The Lord
cut a perpetual covenant with Abraham, our forefather, thousands of
years ago. Since we are believers in the Lord, Jesus Christ, we are
also Abraham's seed. We, and all of our offspring, will be blessed and
multiplied on the earth. Our heavenly Father will always provide for us
in abundance. We have inherited all the promised blessings to Abraham.
So too,
our faith in Jesus Christ has made us eligible to enter into His Kingdom
and share in His eternal blessings for righteousness. We are
joint-heirs with Him and we will soon inherit His just rewards. We will
be honored and praised for our faithfulness and devotion to Him. We
will be appointed kings and priests to rule and reign with Him over all
the nations.
There
will never be a separation between God and man ever again. He will be
our God and we will be His people for generation after generation.
Everyone whose name is written in the Lamb's Book of Life will enter
into God's Kingdom. There will be no prejudice shown anyone, nor
preferential treatment given to any man; we will all share equally in
Kingdom benefits.
We will
enjoy peace and prosperity, safety and security, health and longevity,
joy and freedom. There will be no evil that ever disturbs our peace or
harms us. We will all have glorious, new, resurrection bodies that are
impervious to disease and death. We will live long and strong in the
Kingdom of God. The Lord will anticipate all of our needs and lavish
His blessings on us.
Kingdom Inheritance
Matthew 5:3 "Blessed [are]
the poor in spirit: for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven."
The Lord
created us for intimate fellowship with Him for all of eternity.
However, Adam's sin put us under the curse and separated us from our
God. His awesome redemption plan corrected that situation and we are
now restored to right standing with Him. If we believe in the Lord,
Jesus Christ and what He did for us, we will inherit the Kingdom of God
and all of its blessings.
Our
righteousness is determined by our faith in Jesus Christ, and that
alone. No one who is self-righteous can obtain God's favor. He is not
mocked; He sees the inner man of the heart and knows whether or not we
are sincere in our devotion to Him and His people. We must be humble
servants and walk in love and in peace with all men in order to enter
into the Kingdom of God.
The Lord
hates hypocrisy of all kinds. He will not tolerate those who criticize,
condemn and judge others. Those who are proud and arrogant will be
excluded from His Kingdom. Pretended piety will never impress the
Lord. Only those who are self-abasing and poor in spirit will enter
into the Kingdom. Our God will exalt and boast of them to all creation
as His very own children.
If we
are puffed up and self-righteous we will never see God. We must repent
from the heart, make a mid-course correction and regain our
perspective. All of us are equally important in the Lord's eyes. He is
no respecter of persons; He desires that all men be brought to
repentance and seek His face as never before. If we are sincere, He
will reward us with life in His eternal Kingdom.
Isaiah 2:11-12 "The lofty
looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed
down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day. For the day of
the LORD of hosts [shall be] upon every [one that is] proud and lofty,
and upon every [one that is] lifted up; and he shall be brought low:"
We
should examine ourselves very closely to determine if we are proud and
haughty in spirit. None of us is inherently worthy of salvation, but it
is a free gift made available to all men. The Lord does not want any of
us to be overly confident of His mercy and kindness. He will not permit
us to sin or be unrighteous in any way. We must submit ourselves under
His mighty hand.
The
Lord's ways are above our ways. His moral absolutes dictate how we
should live our lives, so that we can enter into His presence. Only
those who are totally righteous and walking in love will be eligible for
Kingdom blessings. If we exalt ourselves we will be debased. However,
if we humble ourselves before the Lord, we will be exalted and
generously rewarded in due time.
Only
those who are innocent and guileless will actually dwell with our God.
We must remain sincere, teachable and contrite in heart; we cannot be
pretentious or overbearing Christians. Those who are religious,
controlling and turn others away from the Lord will be expelled from His
Kingdom. They will share in punishment with all evildoers in the
eternal lake of fire.
Jesus
Christ alone can determine who is righteous among us and deserving of
eternal blessings and rewards. He will soon return to judge all men,
and even angels. His judgment will be fair and equitable, but also,
final and permanent. Nothing that is evil or defiling will ever enter
in to the Kingdom of God. No sin will be tolerated; only righteousness
and peace will prevail.
Matthew 5:10 "Blessed [are]
they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the
Kingdom of Heaven."
Many of
us have suffered scorn and derision from those in the world even though
we were righteous before God. Very soon now, we will become a
praise on the earth, rather than being ridiculed for our faith.
The Kingdom of God will level all playing fields. Many who are
first now, will be last for all of eternity, while those who are last in
the eyes of others will be elevated to positions of honor.
Those
who have mocked us for our faith and criticized us for following the
Lord and fulfilling His will in our lives will be silenced. Our
God is just and He will not permit His people to be persecuted for their
righteousness. He will take vengeance on all our enemies and exalt
us in His everlasting Kingdom. We will not bear insult and shame
forever; He will vindicate us Himself before all mankind.
If we
are faithful to the Lord and obedient to do His will in all matters, we
will one day share in Christ's very own honor and glory. He will boast
of us to all creation and we will rule and reign with Him for all of
eternity. We are promised that we will judge both men and angels, just
as Jesus Christ will do. We will even become kings and priests of God
and be rulers of all the nations of the world.
James 2:5 "Hearken, my
beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in
faith, and heirs of the Kingdom which He hath promised to them that love
Him?"
The Lord
has seen all the suffering and pain of His people, and He is not
pleased. We are rich in faith, yet often lack the material possessions
that we need to be happy and prosperous in this world. All men, great
and small, will be blessed in God's Kingdom. The Lord Himself will
anticipate all our needs and provide them in abundance. He has the
wealth of the wicked stored up for the righteous and He will not be
stingy in meeting all our requirements.
We will
enjoy eternal blessings of peace and prosperity in the Kingdom of God.
There will be no more greed, oppression and exploitation of one man over
another. We will all share equally in the vast resources of wealth that
the universe has to offer us. All of creation will be beautiful and
bountiful. The plants and animals will be under our dominion once
again. We will build safe and secure homes for our families and no one
will disturb our peace or steal our joy.
The Lord
will expel all evil from His Kingdom and punish it in the lake of fire.
Nothing evil will ever defile His people or spoil their blessings. We
will live long and strong for all of eternity. He will dwell with us in
intimacy, and take an active role in our lives to make certain that all
our needs - both temporal and spiritual - are met. Life in the Kingdom
of God will be idyllic; it will be the perfect habitat for both God and
man to enjoy for all time.
Luke 12:32 "Fear not, little
flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the Kingdom."
The
Kingdom of God is open and available to all men. It will be comprised
of the righteous and loving men, women and children from every tongue,
race and nation all over the world. We should preach the Gospel of the
Kingdom to all mankind, so that they have the opportunity to receive the
gift of eternal life. It is not the Lord's desire that any one should
perish and be denied entry into the Kingdom of God.
However,
each of us must examine ourselves to see if we will be eligible to enter
into God's presence. We must come up higher in our spiritual walk and
be totally righteous and loving at all times. We cannot compromise
godly principles and hope to receive eternal blessings. We should keep
all of the commandments; walk in love; and strive for holiness and
perfection, just as God is holy and perfect.
If we
are righteous, loving and do the will of His Father, Jesus Christ will
make certain that we share in His inheritance in the Kingdom of God. He
will change our mortal bodies to be like His very own, so that we can
abide with our God for all of eternity. We will dwell in love, peace
and unity with both angels and men in a literal paradise. The Lord will
provide all of our needs and bless us beyond all our expectations.
Blessings in the Kingdom
Ephesians 1:10 "That in the
dispensation of the fulness of times He might gather together in one all
things in Christ, both which are in Heaven, and which are on Earth;
[even] in Him:"
Very
soon now, the time will have finally arrived for the consummation of all
things. The Lord's eternal redemption plan for mankind will be totally
fulfilled. He will actually bring heaven to the earth, as He has
promised us. There will never be a separation between God and man ever
again. The return of Jesus Christ to the earth will signal a new
beginning for us.
Christ
is not returning as a meek and mild Lamb of God this time. He will take
vengeance on all of our enemies and punish all evil in the lake of
fire. He will vindicate us before men and angels and protect us from
all harm. There will be nothing that defiles God's people that will
ever enter into the Kingdom of God to disturb the joy and serenity
there.
We will
have safety and security, peace and prosperity, health and longevity in
the very presence of almighty God. We will see our Lord and Savior
face-to-face and be like Him in every way. He will share His very own
honor and glory with those who have been faithful to serve Him and His
people. We will even be appointed kings and priests of our God.
All
things, both in heaven and earth, will be united as one in Christ.
There will be total peace and order in
all the universe, as it was originally intended. Jesus will rule and
reign as a righteous King, so that we have perpetual blessings and
protection in the Kingdom of God. He will be a personal God to us and
share all the wealth of creation with His people.
Luke 14:15 "And when one of
them that sat at meat with Him heard these things, He said unto him,
Blessed [is] he that shall eat bread in the Kingdom of God."
Christ's
followers have long awaited the coming of His Kingdom to the earth.
They knew that it was imminent, but did not know when to expect it. We
have waited thousands of years for it to manifest, so the full number of
souls would be converted and baptized. Everyone whose name is written
in the Lamb's Book of Life will eventually be gathered into the Kingdom
of God. No righteous man, woman or child will be excluded from entering
Christ's Kingdom.
We will
all enjoy perpetual blessings of peace and prosperity, safety and
security in a world without end. The Lord will anticipate all of our
needs and be generous in meeting them. We will build beautiful homes
and long enjoy the works of our hands. There will be only love and
unity in the Kingdom of God; all men will dwell as brothers, and nothing
will disturb the fellowship that we share for all of eternity. We will
experience lasting joy in the presence of God.
Those of
us who have served the Lord in ushering in His Kingdom will also receive
generous rewards for our faithful service to Him and to His people. We
will share in Christ's very own honor and glory. We will have the
heathen for our inheritance in the uttermost parts of the earth for our
rule and reign. The Lord will even appoint us as kings and priests, and
we will teach others to love Him and one another. All men will look up
to us, as they do to Christ Himself.
The
Kingdom of God will last for all of eternity, as we have been promised.
Everything will be united under the lordship of Jesus Christ. Heaven
itself will come to the earth and God's way of doing things will prevail
over all evil. There will be nothing that defiles the peace and
serenity of life in the Kingdom. All of creation will finally be as it
was intended to be from the very foundation of the world. The Lord will
be able to bless His people beyond their imaginings.
Philippians 3:20-21 "For our
conversation is in Heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the
Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall change our vile body, that it may be
fashioned like unto His glorious body, according to the working whereby
He is able even to subdue all things unto Himself."
When
Christ returns to the earth there will be such dynamic power released
into the universe that all the dead will be raised back to life again.
We who remain will be changed "in the twinkling of an eye," the Bible
tells us. Our corruptible bodies will undergo a rapid, supernatural
metamorphosis of sorts. We will be transformed into glorious,
resurrection bodies like that of Christ Himself.
Our
present bodies cannot enter into the Kingdom of God. They are subject
to temptation and sin and vile in all respects. They will have to be
changed, so that we can actually see our God and enjoy His loving
companionship. Nothing that is defiling or subject to contamination
will ever enter into the Kingdom. The Lord is a pure Spirit and we will
also be undefiled in our body, soul and spirit.
Death
will no longer reign over us as it does now. Our resurrection bodies
will be impervious to decay and corruption. There will be no more pain
and anguish due to illness or premature death. We will be reunited with
our dead loved ones for all of eternity. We will live long and strong
in the presence of our God. Life will be filled with the blessings of
health and longevity for all of God's people.
We will
enjoy all the benefits of eternal life in a world without end. The Lord
Himself will dwell with us to make certain that we are continually
healthy, happy and prosperous. We will lack for no good thing; all the
wealth of the universe will be showered on us. All men will share
equally in Kingdom resources and give the Lord all the praise, honor and
thanksgiving that He so rightly deserves.
Isaiah 30:26 "Moreover the light of
the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun
shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD
bindeth up the breach of His people, and healeth the stroke of their
wound."
The Lord has heard all the cries of
His people and He is merciful to our plight. He knows that we are
desperate for His intervention in our lives. We have suffered
unbearable pain and sorrow, and we have been scorned and ridiculed for
our faith in Him. He will not allow us to be ashamed; He will bind up
our wounds and give us joy and gladness instead of our former trouble.
He will turn our captivity and
establish our names as a praise on the earth for all time. We will no
longer be ostracized by men or oppressed by demons. The Lord will boast
of us to all creation as His very own sons and daughters and restore all
that we have lost or had stolen from us. We will share in Christ's
honor and glory, if we have been faithful to serve our God as He
intended.
His very presence in the Kingdom of
God will be our total assurance of perpetual peace. The Lord will
supply all of our needs from the vast resources that the universe has to
offer us. He will be extremely generous with us and lavish all
spiritual and temporal blessings on our lives. We will never experience
sickness and death, pain and hardship, nor poverty and lack ever again.
God's power and glory will fall all
over the face of the planet when heaven is brought into the earth
realm. All of creation will be impacted. All evil will be destroyed
and only the good will remain. Our lives will be dramatically changed.
The Lord will dwell with us and be a loving Father and God to all of His
people. We will enjoy unprecedented favor, blessings and joy for all of
eternity.
Zephaniah 3:20 "At that time
will I bring you [again], even in the time that I gather you: for I will
make you a name and a praise among all people of the earth, when I turn
back your captivity before your eyes, saith the LORD."
The Lord
will gather us to Himself, as He has promised. He will turn our
captivity and grant us eternal life in body, soul and spirit. There
will never be a separation between God and man ever again. We will
abide with Him in intimate fellowship, as He has desired from the very
foundation of the world. All of mankind will worship Him in Spirit and
in truth, with praise and thanksgiving.
He will boast of us to all creation as
His very own sons and daughters. All men will look up to us with
respect. We will be leaders of men in the Kingdom of God. We will
teach others how to dwell in love, peace and unity. The Lord will even
appoint us to be kings and priests. We will share in Christ's honor and
glory, and rule and reign with Him over all the nations of the world.
The
Kingdom of God will be the spectacular culmination of the Lord's eternal
redemption plan for His people. It will be an awesome demonstration of
the love and benevolence of almighty God Himself. He will be the center
of our focus, and we will be the recipients of all His attention. He
will anticipate all our needs and shower us with all the blessings that
the universe has to offer.
New Heavens and a New Earth
2Peter 3:13 "Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new
Heavens and a new Earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness."
God's
people have suffered for their faith for thousands of years. We have
been robbed and spoiled of our property, personal relationships and
reputations. We have been the objects of scorn and derision and
ridiculed for our loyalty to our Creator and His Son, Jesus Christ.
However, there is a day of reckoning coming on the earth in the very
near future.
Righteousness, peace and justice will prevail despite the darkness we
see around us at this moment. Good will overcome all evil and we will
be more than conquerors. Everything that we have experienced will lead
up to a consuming blessing, as we enter into the Kingdom of God on this
earth. There will be no more oppression or exploitation of God's
people.
Jesus
Christ will soon return to vindicate all wrongs that were done to us.
He will take vengeance on all of our enemies and restore all that was
stolen or lost by us over the years. We will have a just recompense for
our faithfulness and He will gather us to Himself for all eternity. He
will consummate our redemption and we will receive the blessings of
eternal life.
The Lord
will boast of us to all creation and share His very own honor and glory
with us. Those of us who have faithfully served Him will be appointed
kings and priests. We will rule and reign with Christ over all the
nations of the world and teach all men to dwell as brothers. Life in
the Kingdom will be paradise on the earth and we will abide with our God
forever.
Revelation 21:3 "And I heard
a great voice out of Heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God [is]
with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and
God Himself shall be with them, [and be] their God."
Jesus
Christ will rule and reign over His Kingdom with a rod of iron for all
of eternity. He will make certain that God's people are safe, healthy,
happy and prosperous, as He has promised us. We will see Him
face-to-face and be like Him in every way. He will boast of us to all
creation and share His eternal inheritance with those of us who have
been faithful and devoted in our service to Him.
The
Father will come and take up residence with us in the Kingdom, as well.
He is our Creator, our provider and our protector. We are the very sons
and daughters of the living God. He will never leave us or forsake us.
He will take an intimate role in our lives for all of eternity. We will
worship Him in Spirit and in truth at all times, and celebrate all of
His sabbaths and perpetual feast days.
Our
children and our children's children will all know the Lord intimately
and have His laws written on their minds and in their hearts. We will
provide a perpetual heritage of love and righteousness for them to
celebrate. All generations will give the Lord all the honor, praise and
glory that He deserves. Our lives will be continually blessed by the
presence of our God in His everlasting Kingdom.
We will
experience only peace and prosperity, safety and security, joy and
gladness all the days of our lives. There will be nothing that defiles
life in the Kingdom of God in any way. We will live free of fear,
oppression and exploitation; men will dwell in love and unity as
brothers. Our bodies will all be healthy and strong; we will have new,
glorious, resurrection forms like that of Christ Himself.
The Lord
will meet all our needs from the vast resources that the universe has to
offer. He will make certain that we are healthy, happy and prosperous
for all time. He will restore anything that has been lost or stolen
from us over the years. He will take vengeance on all our enemies and
give us honor and glory for our former shame; we will rule and reign
with Christ over all the nations of the world.
Isaiah 65:17-25 "For, behold,
I create new Heavens and a new Earth: and the former shall not be
remembered, nor come into mind. But be ye glad and rejoice forever [in
that] which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and
her people a joy. And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people:
and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of
crying. There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man
that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years
old; but the sinner [being] an hundred years old shall be accursed. And
they shall build houses, and inhabit [them]; and they shall plant
vineyards, and eat the fruit of them. They shall not build, and another
inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a
tree [are] the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the
work of their hands. They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for
trouble; for they [are] the seed of the blessed of the LORD, and their
offspring with them. And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I
will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear. The wolf and
the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the
bullock: and dust [shall be] the serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor
destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD."
There
will be a universal shake-up when heaven comes to the earth. Peace and
order will finally reign and the people of God will be rescued from
total destruction. We will not even remember our former pain and
sorrow; the Lord will supernaturally blot it from our minds.
No evil
will defile or harm us ever again in God's Kingdom. Satan and all his
minions will be bound in the bottomless pit, as they deserve to be. The
Lord will take vengeance on all the enemies of His people and they will
experience eternal punishment in the lake of fire.
We will
no longer be persecuted for our faith in God. The Lord will boast of us
to all creation as His very own sons and daughters. He will also
restore everything that has been taken from us over the years. We will
be healthy, happy and wealthy all the days of our lives.
Death
will become a thing of the past, as all the dead are raised back to
life. Our bodies will be changed into resurrection forms that never get
sick or decay. We will live forever in paradise on the earth, since all
of creation will be restored to its original beauty and balance.
We will
not labor for another's profit or lack any good thing in our lives. We
will build our own homes and dwell in them forever. We will sow crops
and reap their bounty for food. The plant and animal kingdoms will be
in harmony with one another and with man.
The Lord
will anticipate all our needs and supply all that we lack from the vast
resources of wealth that the entire universe has to offer us. We will
have peace and prosperity, health and longevity, safety and security,
joy and gladness in the presence of God for all eternity.
Isaiah 66:22-23 "For as the
new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before
me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain. And it
shall come to pass that from one new moon to another, and from one
sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the
Lord."
Our
heavenly Father's eternal redemption plan is perfect, lacking nothing.
He will have us usher heaven itself into the earth realm, as we are
destined to do. Every righteous man, woman and child will be gathered
into the Kingdom of God. Then Christ will be free to return to us to
receive His eternal Kingdom. He will destroy all evil and banish Satan
to the bottomless pit.
Every
knee will bow and every tongue proclaim that "Jesus Christ is Lord over
all creation." We will finally see our Lord and Savior face-to-face and
worship Him for all of eternity. We will all travel to Jerusalem for
His perpetual feasts and sabbaths, as He desires. He will be our God
and we will be His people called by His holy name for generation after
generation.
All of
creation will be positively affected when the Kingdom of God manifests.
Everything in the entire universe will finally line up with the Word and
the will of God. We will live in a world without end. There will be
peace, order and stability for all of God's people. Life in the Kingdom
of God will be idyllic; we are going back to the original perfection of
the Garden of Eden.
However,
this time nothing will go wrong. There will be no sin that tempts
man or offends our God. All creatures will be righteous and
obedient, as the Lord desires. We will abide with both men and
angels, and keep company with the Old Testament prophets and the New
Testament saints. The Kingdom of God will last forever and nothing
will ever defile the serenity of life there.
