Kingdom of Heaven
The kingdom of heaven simply means the kingdom that will be inherited by the righteous. They, though faced with tribulation and persecution yet bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things and remain ever faithful up to the end.
God’s Kingdom “is not meat, drink and sex, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
And who are destined to be the heir of the said kingdom of heaven?
Mt 19:14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not to come to me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
Included as heir of the kingdom are the mentally retarded, the mongoloid and the incapacitated who can not distinguish right from wrong.
Mt 18:3 And said, Verily I say to you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Mt 18:4 Whoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
So whatever the wicked do with these little children, kill them, raped them then chopped them to pieces, yet still they are destined to inherit the kingdom of heaven.
And for adults who are no longer children, can they also inherit the kingdom of heaven? Adults are known to be busy in life, often occupied with the works of the flesh.
Rom 8:13 For if ye live according to the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions worked in our members to bring forth fruit to death.
Gal 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these, Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
Gal 5:20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
Gal 5:21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revelings, and such like: of which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
Such were some of us for we all come from darkness. Now, We are the light in the Lord and as children of light, we are born by the spirit.
Eph 5:9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, and righteousness, and truth;)
1 Thess 5:5 Ye are all children of light, and children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Mt 5:3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Mt 5:4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
Mt 5:5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
Mt 5:6 Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness: for they shall be filled.
Mt 5:7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
Mt 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
Mt 5:9 Blessed are the peace-makers: for they shall be called children of God.
Mt 5:10 Blessed are they who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
This view holds that Jesus Christ will return to earth literally and bodily before the Millennial age begins and that by His presence a kingdom will be instituted over which He will reign and that all of Israels covenants will literally be fulfilled. For the most part all who believe the Bible to be literal are Pre-millennialists.Again I want to just throw this in here but I do believe that the Pre-millennial view is the right view. As a colleague once said When the plain sense makes sense there is no other sense unless you wind up with nonsense. And that is so true.Many people hold crazy views you know?
The nonsense are those who think, talk and go farther than what is in the holy writings.
…..Through this revelation The Bible we find that the BOOK …..deals more with the subject of a particular kingdom than of any …..other kingdom……We need to see in the here and the now the coming of …..this kingdom through the eyes of faith. And the man …..said unto me Son of man behold with thine eyes and hear with …..thine ears and set thine heart upon all that I shall shew thee for …..to the intent that I might shew them unto thee art thou brought …..hither declare all that thou seest to the house of Israel. ….. Ezekiel 40 4 …..It therefore behooves us to find out about this kingdom.
