Jesus Preached The Good News of the kingdom of Heaven

I agree that there is often a duality to prophecy. But at hand and come to pass shortly should never be construed to mean a distant future. God gives very clear clues as to the timing of events if one compares scripture with scripture.

Notice the tense of Ye are come.

Heb 12:22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,
Heb 12:23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
Heb 12:24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
Heb 12:25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:

John, why try to split hairs in 2? People can call the same thing by a different name but at the end, all know they mean the same thing, all of us here are speaking about the Kingdom.

Peace be upon you.

They both mean the rule and reign of God and Christ over humanity.

Why blasphemy? Jesus is so inexorably linked to His creation He entered into it.

You can make any specious arguments you want. But no one has ever questioned the authenticity of either Matthew or Luke. So God is teaching you a lesson right there. There is no difference between the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Heaven (which originates with God in Heaven). They both mean the rule and reign of God and Christ over humanity.

One of the many scourges of Dispensationalism

""But ye are come unto Mount Sion,.... The Alexandrian copy reads, as in Heb 12:18 "for ye are not come"; which may seem to favour that interpretation of this passage, which refers it to the heavenly stte; to which saints, in this present life, are not, as yet, come: but, by "Mount Sion", and the other names here given, is meant the church of God""

Why? Because there are two kingdoms mentioned, one physical and one spiritual. They are not the same. Gentiles have not been offered the kingdom of heaven. Jesus specifically told his disciples not to go to the Gentiles or Samaritans with that message.

Please john use scriptures to prove your point. thanks,

Peace.

who preached the one and only true gospel John ?

Do you use the Alexandrian interpretation for all your information?

Sorry, but God is never equated with his creation.

Romans 1
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

Who equated God with creation? Do we dwell in heaven with God for eternity? Didn't Jesus say it was a prepared place?

I'll ask you as well. Has the gospel of the kingdom been preached in all the world? Has the end come?



Matthew 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

Can the spiritual kingdom that lives within all believers be taken away by force?

Matthew 11:12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
