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."

Jesus Christ will return to us when we least expect Him and astonish the entire human race. His feet will touch down on the Mount of Olives outside of Jerusalem and cause a major earthquake such as the world has never seen. The configuration of the entire planet will be changed as a result. The explosive, raw power that is released by our Redeemer will utterly destroy all wickedness and evil.

The great and terrible Day of the Lord will be the turning point of our existence. It will alter our fate for all of eternity. We will either be gathered to the Lord in a veritable paradise or be expelled from His awesome presence and be condemned. What we decide to do now will determine our fate. We can choose to believe the truth, repent of all our sinful ways and turn towards God, or go to perdition.

The Gospel of the Kingdom of God has been preached to every man, woman and child in every nation of the world for over two thousand years. The days are short now; our redemption is at hand. Christ will soon return to us to judge all men, and even angels. No one will escape His scrutiny or persuade Him to lower His perfect standards for any of us. We will all be judged by our works in the flesh.

Those who have been righteous, loving and obedient will be blessed for their faithfulness. They will receive the gift of eternal life with all of its many benefits. However, those who are committed to sin and evil will be severely judged and punished with a vengeance. Jesus Christ will banish all of them to the eternal lake of fire, where there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth for all time.

Revelation 22:12-14 "And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward [is] with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. Blessed [are] they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city."

Our Lord and Savior will return with all of His angels and saints and make a dramatic entrance to the earth realm. Mankind will be amazed at the raw power that is generated. The Day of the Lord will be fearsome and troubling to those who have been wicked and evil. There will be nowhere to run and no place to hide. All men will have to face judgment before the King of kings and Lord of lords.

The stubborn and rebellious will share a horrible fate in the unquenchable lake of fire, but those who were righteous and obedient to do all that the Lord required of us will be joint-heirs with Jesus Christ. We will be gathered into the everlasting Kingdom of God for all of eternity. The Lord will meet all of our needs in abundance even before we ask Him and shower us with all His many blessings.

He will boast of us to all creation as His very own sons and daughters. There will never be a separation between God and man ever again. He will change our mortal bodies into glorious, resurrection forms that never get sick and die, and we will live forever in His awesome presence. We will have unlimited peace and prosperity, total safety and security, endless joy and freedom forever more.

Those of us who have served the Lord and His people will be generously rewarded for our faithfulness. We will share in Christ's very own honor and glory. The Lord will appoint us as kings and priests, and we will even judge both men and angels. We will have the heathen for our inheritance in the uttermost parts of the earth, and rule and reign with Jesus Christ over all the nations of the world.

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."

All the nations of the world will ultimately face judgment and be absorbed into the everlasting Kingdom of almighty God. His Son, Jesus Christ, will root out all wickedness and evil from among us, so that only what is pure and undefiled before God remains. Those kingdoms and their despotic leaders who have been deliberately rebellious will disappear off the face of the earth.

There will be no more war and conflict, violence and bloodshed. All oppression and exploitation of one man over another will cease. Social injustice will be a thing of the past. Poverty and lack will be abolished once and for all time. There will be no strife and division in any of God's people. We will all learn to dwell together in love, peace and unity as brothers and sisters.

The Kingdom of God will last forever and be the answer to all of our prayers and the solution to all of our problems. It will make even our most pleasant, earthly experiences pale in comparison. We will dwell with both men and angels in the very presence of almighty God Himself. He will shower us with blessings from all the many resources that the vast universe has to offer.

All of creation will be positively impacted by the Kingdom of God. There will be no more pollution or devastation and destruction caused by natural catastrophes. The climate itself will be regulated to be temperate and predictable. Plants and animals will be in harmony with one another and subject to man. We are returning to our origin in a new and improved paradise.

The Throne of His Glory

Matthew 25:31 "When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:"

The Lord, Jesus Christ, has earned His royal status. He came to this earth as a servant to all of mankind and walked among us in love, peace and humility even though He was almighty God Himself. He laid down His deity and became one of us, so that He could satisfy the death penalty that we had earned for our inherited iniquity and personal transgressions.

Our Lord and Savior emptied Himself of all divinity and became a curse for us, so that we did not have to pay the penalty for our own sinfulness. He suffered, died, was buried and then rose again from the dead, the firstborn of many brethren who would inherit eternal life. He made an open show of Satan, so that we could have our original dominion restored to us.

Christ was a total success in all that He did on our behalf. He conquered sin, death and the grave, and overcame all evil with good. He will be exalted and glorified in the everlasting Kingdom of God that will soon appear on this earth. When He returns with His holy angels, every knee will bow and every tongue proclaim that "Jesus is Lord over all of creation."

Hebrews 1:8 "But unto the Son [he saith], Thy throne, O God, [is] for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness [is] the sceptre of thy kingdom."

We owe our Redeemer all the praise, honor and glory that He deserves. He is a mighty God and He will be a benevolent King for all of eternity. His throne is above every power and principality that has ever been named, and He will rule and reign with a rod of iron and a scepter of righteousness and justice. We need never fear that we will be contaminated by sin and evil ever again.

Christ will protect His people from harm and provide for all of our needs in abundance from all the vast resources that the universe has to offer. He will make certain we have peace and prosperity, health and longevity, joy and freedom. He will change our corruptible bodies that are susceptible to disease and death into glorious, resurrection forms like His very own, so we live forever.

We will thrive in His awesome presence and see our offspring for all generations to come. The Lord will fellowship intimately with us and boast of us to all of creation. If we have been faithful to serve Him and His people, Christ will share His very own honor and glory with us. We will judge both men and angels, and be appointed kings and priests of God to rule and reign with Him.

Reveolation 3:21 "To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne."

If we have overcome the world, our flesh and the devil and served the Lord, Jesus Christ, faithfully, we will inherit His Kingdom as joint-heirs with Him. Not only will we receive all the many blessings of eternal life, but we will also rule and reign over all the nations of the world as kings and priests of our God. All men will look up to us and our names will be a praise on the earth.

We will teach others to dwell in love, peace and unity as brothers and sisters. We will help to enforce Kingdom principles of fairness and justice in the government of God on this earth. We will judge both men and angels. We will receive the heathen and the uttermost parts of the earth for our inheritance. The Lord will confide in us and we will sit with Him on His everlasting throne.

There will be no greater honor conferred on anyone in the Kingdom of God. Only those who have been zealous for the Lord's eternal redemption plan for mankind will be recognized. If we have rescued others from the torments of sin and shared our faith as we could, we will be exalted in due time. Almighty God will boast of us to all of creation as His very own sons and daughters.

A Righteous King

Jeremiah 23:5 "Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth."

Jesus Christ is not only the Son of God and our Lord and Savior, but our righteous King as well. The Lord has exalted Him above all men to serve as our Leader and Role Model. He will rule and reign forever and make certain that His people are always safe from harm. Christ will supply all that we need to be happy, healthy and prosperous in His everlasting Kingdom.

Our Lord and Savior will enforce only godly principles of righteousness, fairness and justice in the government of almighty God on this earth. We will all live by heavenly standards and dwell in love, peace and unity as brothers and sisters. There will be no strife and division among us. All that is contaminating and defiling will be totally removed from our midst.

The Kingdom of God will absorb all earthly kingdoms into its own unique spiritual, political and social infrastructure. Jesus Christ will ensure that all men, women and children are treated with dignity and respect. We will have peace and prosperity, safety and security, joy and freedom in His awesome presence. There is no good thing that He will withhold from us.

Daniel 7:13-14 "I saw in the night visions, and, behold, [one] like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion [is] an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom [that] which shall not be destroyed."

Jesus Christ will be a wonderful King, exalted above all others. He is returning to this earth to consummate our redemption in spirit, soul and body. He will gather His followers to Himself and change our mortal bodies to be like His very own. We will live forever in good health and vitality and see our offspring for all generations to come. All men will be righteous and dwell together in love, peace and unity as brothers.

The Kingdom of God will comprise the faithful from all over this planet. People from every race, tongue and nation will be represented. Men, women and children from every generation will enter into the holy presence of almighty God for all of eternity. We will worship the Lord in Spirit and in truth and celebrate all of His sabbaths and feast days. We will give Him all the praise, thanks, honor and glory He deserves.

We are returning to paradise on this earth and it will be a safe haven for both God and man to enjoy for all time. The Lord will take an active interest in all the details of our lives and provide all of our needs in abundance, even before we ask Him. Christ will rule and reign with a rod of iron to make certain that we are protected from all harm. No wickedness and evil will ever disturb the tranquility of Kingdom life.

Psalm 145:10-13 "All thy works shall praise thee, O LORD; and thy saints shall bless thee. They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy power; To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of his kingdom. Thy kingdom [is] an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion [endureth] throughout all generations."

The Kingdom of God is Christ's inheritance for all that He accomplished on our behalf. He will share His very own honor and glory with those who have been faithful to walk in His ways and serve His people. We will be appointed kings and priests and even judge both men and angels. We will have the heathen for our inheritance and the uttermost parts of the earth for our rule and reign.

Jesus Christ will be our righteous King and He will ensure that all of us are treated with fairness and justice in the government of almighty God on this earth. There will be no more war and conflict, no oppression or exploitation. All the wicked will be banished from our midst, so that they can no longer harm us in any way. Satan and all of his minions will be cast into the bottomless pit.

There will be peace and serenity in Christ's Kingdom, such as we have never known before. All of us will be righteous and holy and dwell together in love and unity as brothers and sisters. We will build beautiful homes for our large families and grow crops for our food. Life will be simple and wholesome, and we will thrive in the very presence of almighty God for all generations to come.

1Chronicles 29:11 "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."

Very soon now heaven and earth will be combined into one in the everlasting Kingdom of almighty God. His Son, Jesus Christ, will be exalted above all other creatures and be appointed the eternal ruler of the entire universe. Christ will rule and reign as righteous King and provide for all the needs of His people in abundance. He will make certain that we are healthy, happy and prosperous for all time.

There will be safety and security in His awesome presence. Jesus will destroy all wickedness in the wrath of His coming and protect us from all defilement. We will have endless peace, joy and freedom. Nothing will ever disturb our lives or cause us to be uncomfortable in any way. The Kingdom of God will be a veritable paradise for both God and man, and we will thrive in all of its beauty and bounty.

Nothing will ever hurt or destroy in Christ's Kingdom. There will be no more natural disasters that cause devastation and destruction. All predatory activities will cease and plants and animals will be in harmony with one another and subject to man, as they were in the Garden of Eden. The climate will be temperate and predictable. All forms of pollution will be reversed and the earth will be fully restored.

All of creation will be in synch and everything will be unified under the lordship of Jesus Christ. His power and glory will be our eternal light and permeate our very beings. Our bodies will all be changed into glorious, resurrection forms that never get sick and die. We will live forever in good health and vitality and fellowship intimately with our God, as He intended for us from the foundation of the world.

The Kingdom is Not for Everyone

John 3:5 "Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and [of] the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God."

Christ taught us that not everyone will be eligible to receive eternal life. It is only available to those who are sincere believers in Him and all that He did for us. We must also be baptized with water and the Holy Spirit, so that we are fully sanctified to enter into His holy presence. If we are totally righteous, obedient and loving as He taught us, we will be gathered into the everlasting Kingdom of God.

No wickedness or evil, sin or transgression of any type will be permitted to taint the peace and serenity of life in the Kingdom. Everything that defiles God or man will be excluded. The wrongdoers will all be banished to the unquenchable lake of fire and Satan and his minions will be cast into the abyss. The Kingdom of God will remain pure and uncontaminated at all times, for all of eternity.

There will be total safety and security for God's people when heaven comes to this earth realm. We will live free of fear and molestation. There will be no more oppression or exploitation of one man over another. The devil will no longer be able to harass mankind or tempt us to sin in any way. All believers will be perfected, so that we can dwell in the actual presence of almighty God Himself.

Matthew 7:21-23 "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."

Jesus Christ will soon judge all men, and even angels to determine who will receive eternal rewards and who will be condemned to never ending punishment. No one will escape His scrutiny or be able to convince Him to alter any of His perfect standards for any of us. He will judge us all impartially, by our works in the flesh, whether they were good or evil.

None of us will be able to fake our way into God's good graces. We will all be known by our fruits. The righteous will shine with the light of Christ's glory and be gathered into His Kingdom for all time, but the wicked and rebellious will be excluded from His holy presence. They will experience perpetual torment, pain and suffering in the unquenchable lake of fire.

No evil will ever enter into the Kingdom of God to contaminate God's people or injure them in any way. Christ will ensure that it remains pure and undefiled for all of eternity. Only the faithful will dwell there and enjoy all the many benefits of eternal life. There will be peace and prosperity, safety and security, health and longevity, joy and freedom forever more.

1Corinthians 15:50 "Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption."

When heaven comes to the earth realm, all things will be made new once again. The world and everyone in it will have to be restored to its original purity. No evil or defilement will ever enter into God's presence. He is coming to take up residence with us, but we will have to be sanctified. When Christ returns He will consummate our redemption in spirit, soul and body.

Our mortal bodies that are subject to temptation and sinfulness will all have to be changed in order for us to enter into the everlasting Kingdom of God. The Lord will make certain that we are all given new, glorious, resurrection forms like Christ's very own. We will live forever free of disease and death and become holy and perfect, just as almighty God is holy and perfect.

The Lord will be pleased with us and gather us to Himself, as He always desired. He will boast of us to all of creation as His sons and daughters and provide all of our needs in abundance. There will be no good thing that we lack. He will be our God and we will be the people who are called by His name. There will never be a separation between God and man ever again.

Luke 18:17 "Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein."

We must have a pure, innocent, child-like faith in almighty God and all of His promises in order to enter into His glorious Kingdom and enjoy its many blessings. Without sincere, contrite hearts, we will never see God. We must believe all that He tells us and be obedient to all of His commandments. Only those who are uncompromisingly righteous and loving will ever dwell in His holy presence.

The Kingdom of God will comprise the faithful men, women and children from every race, tongue and nation. Religious affiliation will mean nothing compared to our sanctification in spirit, soul and body. The Lord is looking for a people who will fellowship intimately with Him as His very own sons and daughters. He wants us to love Him with all of our hearts and worship Him in Spirit and in truth.

Believers will have to be very certain that we are spiritually perfected when heaven comes to this earth realm. Not everyone will enter into the Kingdom of almighty God. Only those who are adequately prepared will be permitted to reap its blessings. We should focus on developing our personal relationship with our God and His Son, Jesus Christ, now if we wish to spend all eternity with them.

Striving to Enter In

Luke 13:24 "Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able."

Our God is not impressed by pretended piety or religious hypocrisy of any kind. He is not easily flattered or interested in our ceremonial rites and rituals. He desires a personal relationship with those who genuinely love and respect Him. He will separate the wheat from the chaff very soon now. Only those who are sincere and contrite in heart will be spared His wrath.

Each of us must examine our own conscience and determine how we will spend all of eternity. If we choose to seek the Lord, believe in His Son, Jesus Christ and repent of all our sins, we will be saved to eternal life. If we are stubborn and rebellious, we will perish in our own ignorance. There is no way that any of us can fake our way into almighty God's grace and favor.

He has perfect, impeccable standards for each of us, and we cannot circumvent any of the requirements necessary for our right standing with Him. He inherently knows who will turn from his wicked ways and pursue righteousness at all costs. If our names are not written in the Lamb's Book of Life, we will ultimately go to perdition. We must seek the Lord with all our heart.

Hebrews 12:28-29 "Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: For our God [is] a consuming fire."

The Lord is not tolerant of compromise in any of His people. He has planned a perfect future for us in the Kingdom of God, but we have to be fully sanctified and adequately prepared to enter into it. We cannot hold onto any remnants of worldliness or flirt with sin of any kind. We have to crucify our flesh and subdue our selfish soul ambitions, if we wish to spend all of eternity in His presence.

God is holy and perfect, and He expects us to strive for that high a degree of spiritual maturity and moral integrity ourselves. We must obey all of His commandments and walk in love, as Christ taught us. We cannot be willful and rebellious in any way. We must always comply with the Lord's moral absolutes and cooperate with His express will, if we want to receive all of the benefits of eternal life.

If we are committed to evil, purposely defiant and unrepentant, Jesus Christ will ultimately judge us and condemn us to never ending punishment for our sinful ways. He will burn all iniquity out of us in the unquenchable lake of fire for all of eternity. Our Lord has no tolerance for wickedness, and there will be nothing that ever enters into His everlasting Kingdom to contaminate either God or man.

1John 4:17 "Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world."

We should imitate the laid down life of Jesus Christ Himself and present our bodies as living sacrifices in service to almighty God and His people. If we embrace our divine destinies as we should, we will be able to share our faith and see many others rescued from sin and evil. We will preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ with power and conviction and baptize men, women, and even children, in His name.

If we are totally purged of all evil, the Lord will anoint us with divine power and authority to act in His stead. We will resume Christ's ministry where He left off and heal all those who are sick and afflicted in any way. We will cast out demons that hold men in bondage, and even raise the dead back to life again. We will demonstrate the Lord's very own love, mercy and compassion to His people.

All of creation has been eagerly awaiting the revealing of the sons of God, so that we could bring peace, order and stability to the chaos and confusion all around us. We will speak to the climate and it will be temperate and predictable once again. There will be no more natural disasters that cause devastation and destruction. We will command plants and animals to be in harmony with one another.

We will function just as Jesus Christ once did and confront all world governments to eliminate conflict, wars, violence and bloodshed in their relationships. We will abolish all forms of oppression and exploitation, eradicate all poverty and lack off the face of the earth. All men will be treated with fairness, dignity and respect. We will introduce Kingdom principles of peace and unity to others.

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."

We will have tests, trials and tribulation in this world. Men will resist all of our efforts to bring order and stability to their lives. The devil will harass and oppress us, and tempt us to sin every chance that he gets. We will have to be spiritually strong to overcome all that assails us in our efforts to remain righteous and holy. However, it will be worth all our trouble once we enter into the Kingdom of God.

The Lord has an awesome plan in place for our future. He will actually come and take up residence with His people. We will fellowship intimately with Him as His very own sons and daughters. He will lavish us with eternal blessings of all kinds; there will be no good thing that we ever lack. He will change our mortal bodies into glorious, resurrection forms that are totally impervious to disease and death.

We will dwell in love, peace and unity with both men and angels. There will be no more wickedness and evil to harm us or contaminate the tranquility of our lives in any way. We will have unlimited prosperity, safety and security, health and longevity, joy and freedom forever more. We will see our offspring for all generations to come, build beautiful homes for our families and grow crops for our food.

The Kingdom of God will be idyllic - a veritable paradise on this earth for all of us. We are returning to our roots in the new and improved Garden of Eden. There will never be a separation between God and man ever again. We will have a personal relationship with our Creator that exceeds anything that we could ever imagine. The Lord will be our total focus and we will be the center of all His attention.

No Defilement Allowed

Revelation 21:27 "And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither [whatsoever] worketh abomination, or [maketh] a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life."

We will have to take our sanctification to a whole new level if we wish to see our God face-to-face and spend all of eternity in His presence. We cannot be worldly in any way, nor can we permit our fleshly lusts and selfish soul ambitions to override our spiritual maturity. Only those whose names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life will be able to enter into the Kingdom of God.

It will be well worth our effort when we see what an awesome life the Lord has planned for His people. It will literally be a paradise on this earth for all those who are worthy to inherit the Kingdom. We will live forever free of sickness and disease. We will see our offspring for all generations to come. The Lord will lavish us with all the blessings that this vast universe has to offer us.

There will be no more war and conflict, no oppression or exploitation of any kind. Poverty and lack will not even be named among us. We will enjoy peace and prosperity and dwell together in love and unity as brothers and sisters. The Lord will fellowship intimately with us as His children, and we will celebrate all of His sabbaths and feast days with joy and enthusiasm in our hearts.

Matthew 6:13 "And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen."

Unless we are totally sanctified and purified in spirit, soul and body, we will never see God or enjoy all the many blessings that He has in store for us. We may have to sacrifice a few things now in this world, but in light of eternity that will mean nothing. We must be disciplined in all that we think, say and do. We should be diligent to imitate the laid down life of Jesus Christ and cultivate His attributes as our very own.

We should pray for the baptism in the Holy Spirit of God, so that we can be strengthened in our spirit man and become holy and perfect, just as Christ is holy and perfect. We will become good and gentle, peaceful and joyous, loving and meek, temperate and longsuffering. Our relationships with God and with others will be improved. We will embrace our divine destinies, so we can optimally serve the Lord and His people.

If we sincerely seek after God and do all that He requires of us, we will indeed be eligible to spend all of eternity with Him in the Kingdom of God. He has a wonderful life planned for us, and He will do all that He can to protect us from evil and give us the strength that we need to overcome all our temptation to sin. If we are obedient to all of His commandments and walk in love, we will be deemed righteous in His eyes.

2Timothy 4:18 "And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve [me] unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom [be] glory for ever and ever."

Our God is for us and not against us. He does all that He can to protect us from evil, but we also have the responsibility to protect ourselves. We must learn to take dominion over the world, our flesh and the devil and become fully mature sons and daughters of almighty God. We can be strengthened in our inner man and learn to prevail in all of our situations and circumstances.

There is no reason why we should lead defeated lives on this earth and relinquish our future inheritance to the everlasting Kingdom of God. Righteousness and godliness are well within our reach. Christ did all the hard work for us. He overcame sin, death and the grave and took on all of our sin guilt as if it were His very own. All that we need do is follow His lead and direction.

He taught us everything we need to know to be in right standing with our heavenly Father for all eternity. We should obey all the commandments and walk in love for God and others. We must give the Lord all the deference and respect that He deserves and put others' needs on an even plane with our own. We must also embrace our divine destinies and pursue the will of God for us.

If we are faithful to do all that the Lord asks of us, He will preserve us holy and blameless until Christ's return. We will escape His wrath and indignation, and fare well in the impending judgment that is coming on all of mankind. Jesus Christ will deem us acceptable and worthy to enter in to the Kingdom of God, and share His very own honor and glory with us for all of eternity.

A Righteous People

Matthew 6:33 "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."

We should seek almighty God and His everlasting Kingdom on this earth more than anything else. If we pursue righteousness at all costs, obey all the commandments and walk in uncompromised love, we will receive the gift of eternal life with all its many benefits. There is no way that we can ever dwell in God's holy presence unless we are committed to doing things His way.

The Lord will gather all those who are faithful and obedient to Him, and usher us into the Kingdom of God very soon now. We will escape His wrath and indignation and be spared punishment. He will supply all of our needs in abundance, even before we ask Him. We will have peace and prosperity, safety and security, health and longevity, joy and freedom in His awesome presence.

Our God will boast of us to all creation as His very own sons and daughters. He will change our mortal bodies into glorious, resurrection forms that never get sick and die. We will see our offspring for all generations to come. He will take vengeance on all of our enemies and protect us from all evil. He will restore all that has been taken from us and lavish us with blessings.

Romans 14:17-19 "For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. For he that in these things serveth Christ [is] acceptable to God, and approved of men. Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another."

This world as we know it now will soon pass away and be replaced with a far better way of life for those who are righteous and godly. With that in mind, we should be more focused on eternity than we are on mundane matters that only distract us from our relationship with God and take up our time needlessly. The Lord meets all of our needs in abundance; we need not worry that He will ever leave us or forsake us.

He will imbue us with divine power and authority to serve Him and His people in the critical days that lie ahead. We will prevail in all that we think, say and do on His behalf. We will preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ to every man, woman and child in every race, tongue and nation of the world. We will baptize countless numbers in Jesus' name and make certain that they receive the gift of eternal life, as we have.

We will make salvation available to everyone that we meet and help deliver them from their bondage to sin and evil. We will confront all world governments, so that they establish godly principles for dealing with one another. We will eliminate all war, violence and conflict in human affairs and abolish social injustice. There will be no more poverty and lack when we persuade the affluent to share with those less fortunate.

All of mankind will eventually learn to dwell together in love, peace and unity as brothers and sisters or be expelled from Christ's Kingdom. Nothing that is defiling will ever enter in to taint the tranquility of life there. We will all be spiritually perfected, so that we can actually abide in the Lord's holy presence and see Him face-to-face. He will be the focal point of our lives and we will be the center of all of His attention.

Matthew 13:43 "Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear."

The Kingdom of almighty God is reserved as an eternal reward for Jesus Christ and His saints. Only those believers who are uncompromisingly righteous will ever be permitted to enter into it. The Lord will boast of us to all creation as His very own sons and daughters. We will shine with the light of His Son and be glorified with Him. It will be a literal paradise for all those who are loving and obedient.

Nothing that is defiling to God or man will ever enter into the everlasting Kingdom of God. All the wicked and rebellious will be permanently excluded. We are returning to our roots in a new and improved Garden of Eden. We will have dominion over all creation and live forever in the actual presence of God Himself. The Lord will meet all of our needs in abundance and shower us with all of His blessings.

There is no good thing that the Lord will ever withhold from His people; He will restore all that was taken from us. Our mortal bodies will all be changed into glorious, resurrection forms that never get sick and die. We will see our children and our children's children for all generations to come. All men will be kind, loving and peaceful, and we will share in all the resources that the universe has to offer us.

A World-Wide Kingdom

Luke 12:32 "Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom."

The Lord wants nothing more than that every man, woman and child should spend all of eternity with Him. He has a deep, abiding love for all mankind and it is not His will that anyone perishes. He wants to gather us to Himself and shower us with all of His many blessings. His deepest desire is to fellowship intimately with His sons and daughters, as He intended from the original creation.

However, only those who are receptive to the truth will abide in God's awesome presence when heaven comes to this earth realm. We must be righteous, loving and obedient in order to enter into the everlasting Kingdom of God and receive the gift of eternal life. If we have a sincere faith in His Son, Jesus Christ, and do all that He requires of us, we will be counted worthy and acceptable.

If we are stubborn and rebellious, committed to sin and evil, we will reap what we have sown. We will incur the Lord's wrath and indignation, and a fiery judgment will come on us. Our God will never reward wickedness. He will banish us to the unquenchable lake of fire with all other wrongdoers. Nothing defiling will ever into Christ's Kingdom to contaminate its perfection.

Daniel 7:27 "And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom [is] an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him."

Those who are righteous, loving and obedient at all times will inherit the Kingdom of God with all of its many benefits. It is reserved only for believers who are humble, contrite and sincere. If we have sacrificed all that we have and served the Lord faithfully, we will receive many blessings and generous rewards. The Lord will boast of us to all creation and fellowship intimately with us as His very own sons and daughters.

All earthly kingdoms and nations will soon be absorbed into the Kingdom of God and joined together under the lordship of Jesus Christ and His holy saints. If we have been devoted to the Lord and His people, we will share in His very own honor and glory and rule and reign with Him for all of eternity. We will be appointed kings and priests and teach all men how to dwell in love, peace and unity as brothers and sisters.

Christ will be a righteous King and rule us with a rod of iron to make certain that no wickedness and evil ever enters into His Kingdom to defile God or man. He will enforce godly principles of fairness and justice in the government of almighty God on this earth. There will be no more wars, violence and conflict, no poverty and lack, nor oppression and exploitation. All men will treat one another with dignity and respect.

Isaiah 26:2 "Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in."

The Lord will confer special honor on all those nations who have abided by His precepts and adhered to His moral absolutes in their dealing with one another. He will gather them to Himself for all of eternity in the everlasting Kingdom of God. He will fellowship intimately with His people who are called by His holy name and provide all of their needs in abundance before they ask.

We will all share equally in the bountiful resources that this vast universe has to offer us. There will be no good thing that we lack. The Lord will shower us with blessings of peace and prosperity and protect us from all harm. He will change our mortal bodies to be like Christ's very own, so we live forever in good health and vitality to see our offspring for all generations to come.

All men will be righteous and loving and live together in peace and unity or be expelled from the Kingdom of God. The Lord will tolerate no strife and division among us. He is holy and perfect and He expects us to adopt His standards. We will dwell with both men and angels in the actual presence of almighty God Himself. Life will be idyllic, a literal paradise for all of us to enjoy.

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 Kingdom of God will be comprised of all righteous men, women and children from every race, tongue and nation of this world. It will not matter who we are, but what we believe in our hearts and how we behave towards our God and one another. If we have made Christ the Lord of our lives, obey all of the commandments, and walk in love, we will inherit eternal life and all of its many benefits.

No one will be able to persuade the Lord to lower His perfect standards for any of us. He is not a God of compromise. He will not tolerate any wickedness or evil in His holy presence. If we are rebellious and unrepentant, we will be expelled from His everlasting Kingdom. Nothing defiling will ever enter in to taint its people in any way. Our Lord and Savior will protect us from all contamination forever.

There will be some who desire to inherit the Kingdom, but are not adequately prepared. They will be on the outside looking in, while the rest of us enjoy eternal blessings. The Lord knows who is humble and sincere. Only those whose names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life will dwell in heaven on this earth.

The Kingdom of God will only be given to those who are spiritually mature and perfected.

New Heavens and a New Earth

Isaiah 65:17 "For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind."

Very soon now, we will witness heaven itself coming to this earth realm in the everlasting Kingdom of almighty God. Life will never be the same. This world, as we know it, will pass away in the fiery wrath of His indignation. All evil and wickedness will be purged from this planet forever more. Only what is unshakeable will remain to enter into the awesome presence of God.

We will not even remember our former pain and suffering, nor long for what we once knew. The Lord will mercifully blot our past from our memories. We will receive the gift of eternal life with all of its many benefits. There will be only peace and prosperity, health and longevity, joy and freedom for God's people. We will dwell in total safety and security with both men and angels.

The Kingdom of God will be a veritable paradise for all of us. We are going back to our roots in the Garden of Eden, with no downside this time. We will have dominion over all of creation, and fellowship intimately with our heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ. The Lord will meet all of our needs in abundance from all the many resources that this universe has to offer us.

2Peter 3:13-14 "Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless."

All men will be righteous and loving or be expelled from the Kingdom of God for all time. There will be no defilement that ever contaminates our lives ever again. We will dwell together as brothers and sisters in peace and unity. The Lord will meet all of our needs fairly and equitably. There is no good thing that He will ever withhold from His beloved children.

We will have our mortal bodies changed into new, glorious, resurrection forms that are impervious to disease and death. We will live forever in good health and vitality and see our offspring for all generations to come. Life will be simple, wholesome and pleasurable for us. We will build beautiful homes for our families and fellowship intimately with our God.

The Lord will take an active interest in all the details of our lives and make certain that we are safe and secure. He will take vengeance on all of our enemies and restore all that has been taken from us. Jesus Christ will rule and reign with a rod of iron and protect us from all harm. He will be a righteous King and ensure that we are safe, healthy and content.

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."

We can hardly begin to envision what great plans almighty God has for His people in the very near future. It has been His heart's desire to fellowship intimately with all of mankind from the very beginning of time. Wickedness and evil only postponed our reunion for a time and a season. We are rapidly approaching the consummation of all things, and our God will prevail.

The Lord will provide all of our needs in abundance and boast of us to all creation and His very own sons and daughters. He will provide for His children, as He has always desired, and we will thrive forever more. Nothing will ever disturb our peace or contaminate our lives in the Kingdom of God. Jesus Christ will make certain that His Kingdom is perfect in every way.

Our children and their children will be blessed for all generations to come. They will share in our legacy for righteousness and obedience, faithfulness and service. The Lord will shower all of His people with blessings of prosperity, good health and eternal life. We will dwell in a veritable paradise, and give the Lord all the gratitude, praise and honor that He deserves.

The Kingdom of God will be the answer to all of our prayers and the solution to all of our problems. It will literally be heaven on this earth for all of eternity. We will dwell in the awesome presence of our God and His holy angels. All mankind will worship the Lord in Spirit and in truth, and celebrate all His sabbaths and perpetual feast days with heartfelt joy and enthusiasm.
