Can I speak with you, brother regarding the issue of the kingdom here and now - as you have expressed its meaning and why you therefore refuse what you call premillennialism and dispensationalism.

So here is a start if you would like to take me up. I could even learn something myself.

Isaiah 6:9-12 would be my starting point. And Matthew 13:13-35 will be my meaning. So then having established a meaning of the kingdom of heaven, at the time of the Lord in Judea, if you can agree, we can then go on to its boundary and its character today.

Also, I would disclose that the issue is precisely a prophetic one. So perhaps we could precede Isaiah and make John 21:20-22 our prophetic anchor along with Isaiah 6:9-13 as our physical anchor.

Peter, turning around, saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following them; the one who also had leaned back on His bosom at the supper and said, “Lord, who is the one who betrays You?” So Peter seeing him said to Jesus, “Lord, and what about this man?” Jesus said to him, “If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow Me!” John 21:20-22

He said, “Go, and tell this people: ‘Keep on listening, but do not perceive; Keep on looking, but do not understand.’ “Render the hearts of this people insensitive, Their ears dull, And their eyes dim, Otherwise they might see with their eyes, Hear with their ears, Understand with their hearts, And return and be healed.” Then I said, “Lord, how long?” And He answered, “Until cities are devastated and without inhabitant, Houses are without people And the land is utterly desolate, “The Lord has removed men far away, And the forsaken places are many in the midst of the land. “Yet there will be a tenth portion in it, And it will again be subject to burning, Like a terebinth or an oak Whose stump remains when it is felled. The holy seed is its stump.” Isaiah 6:9-13

You will also have to read Matthew 13:13-35
This is your Scripture:

Isaiah 6:9-12
9 And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.

10 Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.

11 Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate,

12 And the Lord have removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land.

-----------

13 But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall return, and shall be eaten: as a teil tree, and as an oak, whose substance is in them, when they cast their leaves: so the holy seed shall be the substance thereof.

------------------------

Matthew 13:13-35
13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.

14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:

15 For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.

17 For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.

18 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.

19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.

20 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;

21 Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.

22 He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.

23 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:

25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.

26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.

27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?

28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?

29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.

30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

31 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:

32 Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.

33 Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.

34 All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:

35 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.

John 21:20-22
20 Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following; which also leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, which is he that betrayeth thee?

21 Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do?

22 Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me.

The Kingdom of The Body of CHRIST was what JESUS Fulfilled ...It was the Kingdom Promises. The Kingdom is RIGHT NOW. If you want It to be in the future, then you don't Believe in CHRIST because Believing in CHRIST means understanding why and what He did.

So what do you believe this word of the Lord meant - spoken to Peter about John? Does that lend itself to 70AD? Or is it another meaning? Whatever it means it is Jesus telling Peter how he will die before hand and then when Peter asked what about this man -meaning John - Jesus says if I will that he tarry till I come to use your translation? Was that a false prophecy or a true prophecy?

Im off to bed because it is 02:37hrs where I am and I need a few hours sleep before I rise at 0700hrs for work.

It was after the resurrection, brother. And it was not about Judas. It was John - who wrote the testimony.

So Peter seeing him said to Jesus, “Lord, and what about this man?” Jesus said to him, “If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow Me!” Therefore this saying went out among the brethren that that disciple would not die; yet Jesus did not say to him that he would not die, but only, “If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you?” This is the disciple who is testifying to these things and wrote these things, and we know that his testimony is true.

Premills are saying the stone from Daniel never started to grow ...aka The Kingdom.


Daniel 2:35
Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.

Isaiah 28:16
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.

Right, let's not warn people about how their Judgment is going to go.
You can do it without being a butthole.

Jesus said we are to do everything in love. So when you incorporate sarcasm, name calling, slander, etc, how do you think that's going to be judged?

Even Dalton got it. Be nice.

You need to come out of the dark that you've been taught or wherever you've pick up this.
I've had the same thing running thru my head. He's a product of poor teaching. It's sad to say, but my generation did a horrible job of teaching their children.

Premills are saying The Reborn Image of The Last Adam didn't happen yet. It is how we enter into The Kingdom right now.

John 3:5
Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

To say the Old Covenant is still active just so you can claim Jews are still a thing ...is to say JESUS didn't make a New One.

So, you didn't read the post then. JESUS was the end of The Law ...WAKE UP.

To uphold the old covenant we’d have to reject Christ's Fulfillment of it and the new covenant He brought to us.

How are you not Messianic if you Believe in JESUS?
We must keep in mind that our title, if we have any at all, is "OF the faith of Abraham," which Jesus Yeshua conferred upon all who believe.
I cannot put myself in a container called by any denomination formed by mankind, yet it is found to be a joy to include all who call upon the name of Jesus Yeshua in spirit and truth my family in this age and the age to come.

"You say, oh well they have Abraham ...well, Abraham was about Faith in The City built without hands ...and as i already said ...that is The Kingdom of The Body of CHRIST ...what more can i say to get through to them? "

"To say the Old Covenant is still active just so you can claim Jews are still a thing ...is to say JESUS didn't make a New One."

If JESUS became the end of The Law and thus the end of the Old Covenant ...what makes you think Jews without JESUS (as their High Priest) can still claim It?

You can't continue to have Faith in a City built without hands after It arrived.

To me it seems you cannot see the difference between Jew being a persuasion of belief such as Christian, and Jew by translation so there really is no use of you continuing discussing what you cannot distinguish.
God bless you and please stop this senseless dispute. I have not offended in my posting. God bless you always.
