But this is the new heaven and earth. Jesus prepares the nations for this event when he reigns over the nations.
This is what the 1000 yr. Reign is all about. The reign is in the order of Melchezidek in which Jesus is the high priest.
The preist hood of israel is null and void. Jesus was the sacrifice. Priest hood not needed any more.
The holy nation of God is on the earth right now within every believer in Christ. He doesn't have an unholy nation ruled by men. All of those belong to satan
Why on earth do i even attempt to bring you to the truth?
In Christian eschatology, the binding of Satan for a thousand years refers to a future period described in the Book of Revelation (20:1-3) where Satan is imprisoned in the abyss by an angel to prevent him from deceiving the nations. This thousand-year period, known as the Millennium, will see Christ reigning, and it will be followed by Satan's brief release, a final rebellion, and his ultimate, eternal defeat in the lake of fire.
hard to be led by satan when he's not in the picture.
This is where we get the thousand yr. Reign of Christ. Now if you disagree with this I must bring this to your attention
Rev 22:18 For I say to every man to whose ears have come the words of this prophet's book, If any man makes an addition to them, God will put on him the punishments which are in this book:
Rev 22:19 And if any man takes away from the words of this book, God will take away from him his part in the tree of life and the holy town, even the things which are in this book.
Yes it does Gal 3:28-29
28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
The same heirs mentioned in Heb 11:8-9
8 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.
9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:
Why on earth do i even attempt to bring you to the truth?
Considering the fact that you don't know the truth very well, that's a very good question lol.
And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is inside you. Luke 17:20-21
But you are a chosen generation, a kingly priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that you should shew forth the excellencies of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy. 1 Peter 2:9-10
Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me. John 14:30
And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in wickedness. 1 John 5:19
The church does not replace Israel. This is so false and so misleading and dangerous to even mention.
Those who choose to believe this have not fully divided the scriptures.
We are joined to Israel to become a nation. We are grafted in To become the nation of the new covenant. New covenant, new thing, new nation.
The promises made to Abraham are now ours as well if we believe in the one whom God has sent. Christ kingdom is brand new where there is no jew or gentile. How then can the church replace the temple?
We who are born again are New in Christ. God said Behold I will do a new thing. The old will pass away Behold everything becomes new.
Jesus said behold I make all things New.
1John 3: 2
Berean Literal Bible
Beloved, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been revealed. We know that when He appears, we will be like Him, for we will see Him as He is.
I think that John has more insight than I do but even he was stumped on what is to be.
According to scripture replacement theology is reckless at the least and a lie.
Mercy triumph over judgment....Gods order.
Our discussion was about the physical kingdom in which you and others seem to avoid. So don't go here to prove anything mystical friend. Don't change the narrative.
The kingdom of God on earth now is physical. It's not mystical. I'm a real, physical human being and a subject of that kingdom waiting for the king to return. It's just not ruling in power yet, but it's here
What's dangerous is focusing and obssessing on natural, worldly things and robbing Christ of his glory. Do so to the detriment of your soul.
The natural kingdom of Israel ruled by men has been replaced by the spiritual kingdom of God born from above and ruled by God. I realize this verse may be difficult for you to believe, but pray that God will soften your heart.
Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. Matthew 21:43
Yep , Paul dealing with earthly jews wrote Phil 3:13
Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
The kingdom of God is what, then?
Let scripture interpret scripture:
"...for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. For he who serves Christ in these things is acceptable to God and approved by men."
If we wait for a castle to fall from the sky so that we may enter His kingdom we've been duped. His kingdom is here now.
Yes let's
Act 1:6 So, when they were together, they said to him, Lord, will you at this time give back the kingdom to Israel?
Act 1:7 And he said to them, It is not for you to have knowledge of the time and the order of events which the Father has kept in his control.
Act 1:8 But you will have power, when the Holy Spirit has come on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and all Judaea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.
At that time the disciples were focused on carnal things because they hadn't received the holy spirit that would lift the veil off their eyes. Years later after receiving the holy spirit, Peter wasn't talking about restoration of the kingdom to Israel, but about a kingdom of priests and a holy nation, ie, the kingdom of God given to those who obey his voice, that Christ taught about, but they were too dull at that time to understand.
But ye are a chosen generation, a kingly priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: 1 Peter 2:9
This is the same holy nation and kingdom of priests that God offered Israel at the beginning, but they rebelled and lost it, and so it passed on to those who obey Christ's voice in the new covenant.Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine: And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel. Exodus 19:5-6
Well arnt we lucky that Jesus is more patient with us than God with them. Hate to think how many times I didn't answer the call and failed. To be dropped just like that...wow.
As I posted the acts scripture we are the witness to the kingdom to come. You say and others say its already here. The New earth and new heaven that came from heaven who's maker is God is that kingdom which hasn't happened yet.
So how is the kingdom already here?
It's inside of us, ie, the holy spirit joins us together in one body. The body of Christ is the kingdom
And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is inside you. Luke 17:20-21
Need other verses. Seen this exchange with different expressions other than (inside of you) are there more?
Also once again the reign of Christ seems to have been avoided.
Christ is reigning over his kingdom of priests and holy nation now. He is not reigning directly over the kingdoms of the world, yet. That comes at his return.
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. Revelation 11:15
His kingdom is inside of us. It is what it says, and it's profitable to believe what it says.Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is inside (ἐντός) you. Luke 17:21
G1787 ἐντός entos (en-tos') adv.inside (adverb or noun).
[from G1722]
G1722 ἔν en (en') prep.
ἐγ- eg- (eng-) [alternate prefix]
ἐμ- em- (em-) [soft prefix]
1. in.
He is reigning now upon the throne of David. 1 Cor 15:24-26
24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
At His resurrection and ascension He occupied the Davidic throne as the Son of David as promised according to Peter Acts 2:29-33
29 Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.
30 Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;
31 He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.
32 This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.
33 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.
