I trust you will receive a blessing from these next few minutes as you read this. GOD HAS A COMING KINGDOM
ACTS 1:9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
ACTS 28:23 And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him into his lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from morning till evening.
ACTS 28:31 Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him.
Did you know that there is more than one kingdom? Consider the first … The kingdom where God dwells right now … ACTS 1:9 … ACTS 7:55 But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,
The second is introduced by the Lord Jesus: Matthew 12:28 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.
To Nicodemus He said: John 3:3 … Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
And then let’s consider the coming Kingdom: Revelation 19:11 (gives us a picture of the returning KING .. king of kings, lord of lords, the Lord Jesus) And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
Revelation 20 explains how HE will rule this Kingdom on earth for 1000 years.
Jesus left the first kingdom, (2 Corinthians 8:9 For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich).
And came to this earth to present he kingdom to the Jews, and when they rejected Him, now we have a spiritual kingdom to enter into (which we enter by choice) until He returns. And He will be coming again to usher in the 1000-year kingdom where He will rule the earth.
How do we have a part in this coming Kingdom? We must by faith enter the spiritual kingdom …
1 Corinthians 15:1-4 believe in the death, burial and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ
AND Romans 10:9 confess that Jesus is God. Are you a member of the kingdom of God?
