John 14:18-21
I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.
20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

2 Corinthians 2:15-16
New King James Version
15 For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing. 16 To the one we are the aroma of death leading to death, and to the other the aroma of life leading to life. And who is sufficient for these things?
Matthew 10:14-15
King James Version
14 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.
15 Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.

Why don't Jews question the silence from GOD for 2000 years?
Not even a prophet in that time?
i wonder if they need Christians to remind them what could have caused it.

Deuteronomy 13:1-3
New King James Version
13 “If there arises among you a prophet or a dreamer of dreams, and he gives you a sign or a wonder, 2 and the sign or the wonder comes to pass, of which he spoke to you, saying, ‘Let us go after other gods’—which you have not known—‘and let us serve them,’ 3 you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams, for the Lord your God is testing you to know whether you love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
2 Thessalonians 2:9-12
King James Version
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
You don't see evil anymore as long as King JESUS is your Savior ...otherwise ...i'm pretty sure Jews have faced evil.
Zephaniah 3:14-15
Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel; be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem.
The LORD hath taken away thy judgments, he hath cast out thine enemy: the king of Israel, even the LORD, is in the midst of thee: thou shalt not see evil any more.
The verse before it talks about a Remnant ...do you wonder why?
"The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies; neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth: for they shall feed and lie down, and none shall make them afraid."
It's a Remnant that recognizes The MESSIAH as King.

Holy Spirit has an affect of permanent cure to boredom.
(Proof: John 14:26-27 and Philippians 4:7) but it’s only given to God’s elects.
Sinful nature is removed and freedom from sin.
Pray to God to overcome all temptations and trials. Don't delay Jesus Christ's 2nd Coming.
Don't want to waste the time that God has given us to do his will on earth. Probably going to remember my life on earth.
Have to love God over everything.
to gather gog and magog for battle is people and land, what if it is talking about the Nation of Israel?
Nation of Israel vs New Jerusalem
Rev 20:7-9
And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.
Hosea 6:1-3
Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.
After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.
Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.
The Kingdom is NOW.

Adam got an Image Breathed into Him by GOD. Adam ruined it, but JESUS gave us The Way to fix it.
Anyone who can see can look at the world and see the Kingdom is NOT now. That's very obvious.
Mat 13:15
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.

Tares among Wheat
Why is JESUS saying there are tares in The Kingdom?
Matthew 13:24-30
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.
John 18:36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
Amill claims the opposite, that the Kingdom is of this world. Christ disagrees.
Christ knew his kingdom and reign here starts when he returned at the 7th trump.
Rev 11:15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

What a question asking '' If JESUS is going to go and prepare a place for us, why would The Kingdom remain here? '' !!
I am not sure that this question was serious. But let’s suppose it is.
As Christians we all know that we have been translated into the kingdom of Light. Jesus is the King of all the Saints in Heaven and Earth. He reigns from the Highest throne over all of us today and since the day of the cross. He is the head of all churches on Earth (His spiritual body). Right now, we are ambassadors of His Kingdom in Heaven here on earth. Even though, the kingdom of Satan still is controlling most of the earth. We have supreme authority over our life because grater is He that is in us then he that is in the world.
Satan has no legal right to control us. We are not subject to his laws. We are free under our heavenly laws like any ambassador of any country. He is not Subject to the law of the foreign country.
When Jesus come and manifest his final triumph, He will be the everlasting King over Heaven and earth alike.
Any honest Christian should know that clearly and believe it as part of the Gospel of his own salvation. Any chapter of the gospel is more than obvious about that and prove it him who is really seeking the truth and believing the Bible.

That was weeks ago, erm, i think my point was that JESUS Returns and Makes this place new, no time for a 1000 years where people have direct proof of GOD ruining the Free Will Choice this place is built on.
i see the Scripture it was referring to differently now, i see GOD making His Presence in us ...today. We are the place He went to prepare. We are pillars of The Kingdom. There will still be an Infinite Afterlife ...but not this 1000 year thing Premills want.
JESUS was able to live His life without sin (darkness) entering His Blood. He was the Perfect Sacrifice for all time because being Reborn into His Image (Light) allows us to be The Sacrifice also. The Image (Light) is how The HOLY SPIRIT Teaches us.
i think this is showing How GOD’S Presence enters the Citizens of The Kingdom.
Romans 8:16–17
The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
Yet this "1000 year thing" is in the bible and even Amillennialism believes in it. It's just defined differently. So, anytime an Amill tries to pretend the thousand years is only a Pre-Mill belief, don't believe them. They are purposely misleading those reading. By and large the majority of Amill's believe we are living in the thousand years years right now ie. "this 1000 year thing Amills want"
Rev 11:15 happened.
Ephesians 1:20-23
Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,
Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:
And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,
Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
