I believe that Jesus Christ taught of a Spiritual Kingdom; that is present in the hearts and lives of men and woman {today} who have been Born Again. An experience which is here and now; which is rightness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost: Romans 14:17.
The question needs to be asked and answered: Does God have two kingdoms, one fleshly and one spiritual, or does he just have one kingdom?
In Matt.12-25, Jesus said;..Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand.
If God has two kingdoms; one fleshly and one spiritual then one has to fall because they are of two different natures.
In Luke 1:33, the angel Gabriel said;...And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
Jesus said my kingdom is not of this world, and I do not believe he ever taught it would be. He said that the kingdom of God is preached and every man presses into it. His kingdom is here and now, and his children not only see the kingdom, but they are in his kingdom right now, ruling and reigning with Christ in this present life: over sin, over self, and Satan. They are having victory over the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life !!!
THANK GOD FOR HIS VICTORIOUS POWER AND BLESSINGS !!!
There is no need for a literal fleshly kingdom of which the Jews always wanted and thought would come. Because God tore down the middle wall between him and man of all races to make one new man in Christ Jesus our Lord. Whether he be a Jew or Gentile, bond or free, male or female,..We are all made one by the blood of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ !!! THANK GOD FOREVER !!!
The book of Revelations is a book containing symbols which represent the last days from John's time until Judgment Day. The symbols are spiritually discerned of which the carnal mind can not understand.
In 1 Cor. 2:12-14, Paul wrote;...Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God;.....for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. The Holy Spirit teaches God's Children; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. Not carnal; literal; or worldly interpretations. In verse 14 he explains that the natural man can not know nor understand the things which are of the Spirit of God for they are foolishness unto him because they are spiritually discerned.
There are so many FALSE PROPHETS today, who are writing on the book of Revelations. They are teaching: literal kingdoms, carnal wars, and other ways of salvation other than having true Godly sorrow, true repentance, and Holy conversions, that ungodly sinners, even say that they understand God's teachings on spiritually understood scriptures. What a deception and blasphemy to teach such an abomination to a lost and dying world of poor lost sinners !!! Moms and Dads, Brothers and Sisters, our Children, Neighbors, and our Enemies; all being deceived by;
Ungodly Prophets and False Teachers !!!
Jesus said that the blind would lead the blind and that they both would fall into the ditch. Brothers and Sisters; do not believe every spirit but try the spirits to see if they are of God !!!
There are warnings of how Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light, and that his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness;.... whose end shall be according to their works... 2 Cor. 11:14-15.
EVEN SO COME LORD JESUS !!!
