The Kingdom Of God On Earth - Part I

The parable of the sewer and the seed exemplifies the true meaning of the kingdom of God on earth.  Mark 4 vs.20 " And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred. "  St. Luke Chapter 8 vs. 11 states " Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. "   The Word of God may fall on bad ground and never bring forth fruit, nevertheless even when the word falls on good ground it brings back fruit some thirty some sixty and some one hundred percent.Many have been taught that God is in Heaven and we should all aspire to get to heaven.  When Jesus taught us to pray he said thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.Early in Genesis we read that man was made from the dust of the earth.  So remember man that thou are dust and unto dust shall thou return.  Gen 2 vs 7 "And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul."It is the breath of God that makes man alive.  What man does with this breath would determine his eternity.  The power of life and death is in the tongue.  On the day of Pentecost in the upper room, the apostles (12) were baptized with fire and the Holy Spirit.  Act 2.vs 3 " And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them."  Because of the tongues of fire, the apostles now began to speak with other tongues.  That is to say that when they uttered what they knew, it was heard by men of other nations in their own language.The Holy Sprit of Yashua is sent back to earth, so that man maybe born again through the Spirit and Word (Spiritual Baptism).  The tongues of fire represent the WORD of GOD upon man.  When perfected to 100% man will live forever.  In the first resurrection a selected few (144,000) who are martyrs for the WORD (The dead in Christ shall rise first), as well as the living saints will be caught up to meet Christ in the air on his return in the second advent.  Christ's chosen people Israel will be gathered together under their King Yashua to live and reign on earth for 1,000 years.  Isaiah Ch. 9 vs. 6 and 7 "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this. "What is known to the Gentiles as the rapture of the church, does not pertain to them at all.The Gentile believers would be allowed to live through that thousand year period without the temptation of Satan.  Rev. 20 v.3 "And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season."  In verse 10 of this same chapter we see the doom of Satan.  "And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. "With the final elimination of Satan, would then appear the great White Throne of the Almighty God,  whose face no man could see and live.  Rev 20 v. 11 "And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them."  This appearance of the Almighty God himself as Our Father the Creator on the throne of judgement pronounces eternal life to some but eternal death and hell to others who would be cast into the lake of fire.  They all would be judged according to their works.  Rev. 20 vs 12 "And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works."The dead are not all judged from the book of life only.  But from other books, with their various religions had provided and promoted for their salvation over the millennia.  Muslims, Hindus, Buddhist, etc. even Atheists, will be judged by their books that they have compiled over the ages.  If their works do not meet the standard of Our God, they will be eliminated with Satan.  Rev. 20 vs 13-15 "And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.   And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.   And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire."After these events will the Lord allow for a new heaven and a new earth.  Eternal life, eternal peace, with the eternal God.  A new creation Rev. 21 vs. 24-26 "And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.   And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.   And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it."  These nations kindreds and tongues which no man could number are all written in the lambs book of life and are saved by GRACE through FAITH.
