There are many voices today calling for the kingdom of Christ to come. Saying that we must all be working toward that end if we are to live as Jesus and the apostles taught us to. By fighting against those people that are destroying our cities and countries. But, Jesus said otherwise as the meme below shows.

In reading an article https://newswithviews.com/the-divided-church-in-america/ about what the church is supposed to be doing one of the main problems I noticed is that first and foremost he does not rightly divide the word of truth. He combines the kingdom Jesus preached with the kingdom Paul preached. And you can't do that without changing the whole purpose for this dispensation of the grace of God.

Jesus preached the kingdom that was promised to Israel under the law, the "rod of iron", gospel. The gospel that answered the rich young ruler who asked what he must do to have eternal life saying, "Keep the commandments and follow me". Which is the 1,000 year reign of Christ that will be under the law. A rod of iron.

 

But, the Holy Spirit taught the dispensation of the grace of God gospel. This is why in John16:7-11 Jesus said He must go away so the Holy Spirit could come. Because while Jesus was here the law would remain in force. This is why He was teaching Israel how to live under the law then to prepare them for living in the kingdom that would come when Jesus returned that they were promised.

So for the Holy Spirit to be able to teach eternal life that is by grace through faith not of works Jesus had to leave. His kingdom gospel had to be replaced with the Holy Spirit's grace gospel. This gospel is what made it possible for the Holy Spirit to bring all mankind under grace.

A time when God would live in each one of us by the Holy Spirit so we could each be led in the truth of that grace. His Spirit teaching our spirit. A spirit that we received when we were born again. A message that Paul said in Col.1:26 was never taught before God gave it to him. But, was hid from all ages past until God gave it to Paul solely for this dispensation.

Soon after the soon coming short space 7th empire runs it's course, one of the 7 heads on the beast system, the dispensation we are now in will come to a close and I believe what will happen then is the world will come under the noahide laws and abraham accords. This is to be a counterfeit for millennial reign under antichrist that will ensue as they force men under antichrist's "rod of iron" noahide laws and Abraham accords.

This is why we must be clear about the purpose for which we are here now. We are here to preach Paul's grace gospel so that as many as will believe will be saved so they can be prepared for when they go to heaven. A gospel we who are they ministers of reconciliation preach.

As strange as it may seem to some to some, believers are not here to make this world a better place. We are not here to bring heaven or the kingdom of Christ down to earth. The Bible says Jesus will do that when He returns when He destroys the antichrist empire. The one referred to in Rev.17 as "he is even the 8th that is of the 7."

Here are a few quotes I pulled out of the article that express this misguided "kingdom now" thinking. He writes,

"First of all, I want to call your attention to two realities.  Jesus did not come to start a religion called Christianity. He came to earth to reclaim dominion and the Kingdom lost by Adam."

Now I want to stop here and explain why this is so incredibly dangerous. Paul said in 1Cor.15:45,46 that Adam was not spiritual, but only a natural man when God made him a living soul. So a living soul is flesh and blood without any spirit. So in the garden kingdom there was no personal intimate fellowship between man and God. Because Paul also said in 1Cor.2:14 that the natural man can not perceive or know the things of the Spirit. And in John4:24 Jesus said "God is a Spirit. And those who worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth".

So Jesus did not come to reclaim this "kingdom Adam lost". Mt.15:24 says He came for the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And He came preaching the kingdom gospel that was the kingdom promised to Israel under the law. A 1,000 year kingdom where Rev.2:27 says Jesus will rule with a rod of iron. That rod is the law.

The article then goes on to say, "Jesus spent His time on this earth explaining the Kingdom, the Kingdom Government, and conduct in the Kingdom. Jesus did not build a church. At the time of Jesus, there was no such word as church. Jesus said I will build My ekkelsia which is a congregation or assembly and the gates of hell will not prevail against it. While on this earth, Jesus gathered men and trained and equipped them to be disciples."

He is right saying that Jesus did not build a church. Because the church, actually what the Bible refers to as congregation or assembly, is made up of both Jews and Gentiles as Eph.2:11-15 says.

But, Jesus came only for the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

To confirm the covenant for one week, the time that remained of the 70 weeks in Daniel’s prophecy when Jesus came, made with them spoken of in Dan.9:25-27. That will be completed after the great tribulation. The time of Jacob's trouble.

It is the Holy Spirit's job to build the church/assembly of believers. And He has been doing this since Jesus left. Jesus' job was to prepare Israel for the kingdom on earth. The 1,000 years that they will reign with Him. This is why the disciples kept asking Him if He was now going to bring in the kingdom.

But, Jesus knew from the Father that He would be rejected by His own people and killed. This would fulfill the part of prophecy in Dan.9 that says He would be "cut off but not for Himself". And that when He is cut off it would be "in the middle of the week". And that this is what would "cause the sacrifices and oblations to cease". Because His was the final once for all time sacrifice for Israel's sins under the law.

This is why the animal sacrifices Israel continued doing after Jesus died were "the abomination of desolation". And the desolate(destroyed temple) will continue to be desolate "until the consummation". The end of the great tribulation, the time of "Jacob's trouble", when Jesus comes to destroy the antichrist kingdom and set up His own kingdom on earth for 1,000 years.

He continues his rant in the article about bringing heaven down to earth saying, "When Jesus went up, the Holy Spirit came down, and the disciples went out to do the work of the Kingdom. The Book of Acts is a picture and the fruit of Jesus’ training and equipping those disciples for the work of the Kingdom. They are the sons of God and they were called the Body of Christ."

Yes it is true that the disciples went out preaching the message of the kingdom that Jesus gave them to teach the Israelites. But, this message was not for the whole world. But, only for Israel.

But, this all changed when God separated Paul to be His messenger of the dispensation of the grace of God to the Jews and the Gentiles. A message that Paul said in Col.1:26 had never before been taught to anyone by anyone.

This is the message that gave birth to the church. A message of God's grace that was for all men, and not just the kingdom message for Israel as the other apostles thought. This is why we see the strong disagreement in Acts15 between the believing Jews and Paul. The jews that had believed in Jesus believed that if Paul was going to preach to the Gentiles he needed to teach them that they needed to be circumcised and to keep the commandments of Moses.

But, Paul knew better because the Holy Spirit had told him. And Paul told them so. So they took the argument before the other apostles. Where after some deliberation the apostles determined that the Gentiles were not to be taught to be circumcised or to keep the law of Moses.

Because in this dispensation the Holy Spirit is delivering men from death to life by faith without works. And this is the difference between the kingdom gospel Jesus and His disciples taught. And the gospel of the grace of God Paul taught.

In the final statement I want to cite from this article to show how this thinking makes believers focus on the wrong thing. He said, "The Body of Christ in this nation is inept and ineffective. Jesus said we are to do His will on earth as it is done in heaven. In reality, we are to be bringing heaven down to earth but we have allowed hell to overcome this nation."

But, the reality is that this is the opposite from what the church is to be doing. We are not to bring heaven down to earth. We are to be preparing those who come to faith in Jesus for the next life. Not this one. We share with them what love does. And we help them to learn to speak and to and hear from God through Jesus by His love. Because Jesus said in John17:20-23 that it is His love that makes us one with Him and with one another.

We are not here to make this world a better place. And if we are trying to do this then we will find ourselves fighting against God. Because God told us that the world was going to get worse and worse until Jesus comes back. Not better and better by believers working to bring heaven down to earth. And that men would cease to hear sound doctrine. Not because it isn't being taught. But, because they would not hear it.

When the 7th empire that is forming now that has 7 heads and 10 horns/kings comes to power, I believe they will use the noahide laws and Abraham accords against the woman/harlot/deep state of Rev.17. This will be used by satan to deceive those who think believers are supposed to be bringing heaven down to earth that this is the millennial kingdom Jesus talked about. This is part of the strong delusion Paul spoke of in 2Thes.2.

They will punish with death those who have been so ruthless in child trafficking and killing with the c-shot during these times we are now in. And just as Rev.13:3,4 says the whole world will then "wonder after the beast" saying "who is like unto the beast? Who can make war with him?" Even many who claim to believe in Jesus.

They will govern through a 10 region world gov't represented by the 10 horns/kings we see in Rev.17. These regions were designed by the club of Rome in the early 70's. And they are already here.

In a speech at a rally Trump spoke in front of an American flag with no stars on it. There were no stars because it no longer represents the 50 states of America. It represents the new USMCA region, one of the 10 that the 10 horns/kings will represent during the short lived 7th empire.

And according to some military men who explained the flag with no stars it means there will be no quarter given to the enemies of this empire. And that if they do not immediately surrender to the 7th 10 region empire they will be eliminated.

 

This is the real reason why the economies of the world are being destroyed. And it's not just the WEF that is doing it. Because this way of doing business is going to go away so that the new quantum financial system(QFS) can take it's place.

 

But, after antichrist plucks up 3 of the 10 kings by the roots as Dan.7 says he will. Then these same laws and accords may well begin to be used against followers of Jesus. By using their laws that call for death against idolatry against those who worship Jesus. Because those "laws" do not recognize Jesus is God as those who trust in Jesus do.

This is the "sudden destruction" Paul spoke of in 1Thes.5:3 saying "For when they shall say, Peace and safety(during the 7th empire); then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape."

This is a time that comes shortly after when antichrist rules with his rod of iron. Which may also initially include the noahide laws and Abraham accords. But, will soon morph into the worship of antichrist alone who comes in his own name as Jesus said in John5:43. Who causes men to take his mark for them to be able to buy or sell.

Revelation tells us that this time will only last for "times, time, and 1/2 a time". Also described as "42 months", or "1260 days". Because after this 42 months Jesus will return and His saints with Him to destroy this antichrist kingdom. It will be at this time that He will establish His 1,000 year reign on the earth. A reign that really is the promised kingdom of peace and safety that He taught Israel about while He was here 2,000 years ago.

This kingdom is a time the Bible says Jesus rules with a rod of iron. That rod is the law that He gave to Moses on the mount. Not the perversion the 7th beast kingdom used called the noahide laws and Abraham accords. And the Jews will rule and reign with Jesus during this time. And after this time God will destroy and remake everything so that there will be eternal life in righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.

So the idea that we are now to be bringing heaven down to earth is the result of not rightly dividing the word of truth. By not seeing the difference between the kingdom Jesus taught and the kingdom the Holy Spirit teaches.

And is so dangerous because this will lead many to believe that when they see their "favorite president", as some refer to Trump, or a representative just like him, seemingly miraculously win against this deep state apparatus, to believe that heaven is being brought down to earth. When it is actually part of the strong delusion and the set up for the antichrist kingdom. And not the kingdom of God brought down to earth.

So don't get too caught up in all the fervor of this battle some believe is a battle between "good and evil". And don't believe it when they tell you it is "God winning" against the deep state.

Because while Rev.17:17 tells us that it is God that has put it in the hearts of these people to destroy the harlot, it is actually God tricking Satan to use his team A to defeat his team B so he can bring in his deceptive 7th empire. An empire that rules for a very short time only as a set up for the 8th empire of antichrist.

And you know, the saints that I mentioned earlier that come with Jesus to destroy the kingdom of antichrist and bring an end to the great tribulation, got to be caught up to be with Jesus by trusting in Him before the great tribulation began. That's the time we are now living in. So being "caught up to be with the Lord" is still possible for you.

All we need to do to make sure we are in that number who are caught up to be with the Lord is confess that Jesus is Lord. And believe that He has raised from the dead to conquer death on our behalf. This is what the Bible means when it says He died for us.

In dying for our sins He joined with us in our mortality and death. So that we can now join with Him in immortality and eternal life. And when we confess Jesus is Lord and believe in His resurrection we are saved. Because only our unbelief(sin) can separate us from God. When we believe then we will be "caught up to be with the Lord" before this horrible time of "Jacob's trouble". To return with Jesus when He comes to destroy the kingdom of antichrist.

So if you will believe in Jesus you will be saved. Do this and you will have eternal life. Do this and you will be made immortal. Do this and you will be a child of God and heir to His kingdom. Do this and you will be caught up to be with the Lord. Do this and His resurrection will be your resurrection.

Do this... and I will see you there or in the air!
