From a Perfect Mortal Human to a Perfect Immortal Human!
Think of God’s Kingdom as a PROGRESSION from one stage or level of God’s Kingdom to the next stage or level until you have reached the FIFTH and the highest level of God’s Kingdom. The highest level that is as far as the Bible reveals.
Now there are many kingdoms spoken about in the Bible. The word kingdom is found 342 times within 316 verses in 42 of the 66 books of the Bible.
The word kingdom is found 184 times in the Old Testament within 166 verses in 25 books of the 39 books of the Old Testament.
And the word kingdom is found in the New Testament 158 times within 150 verses in 17 books of the 27 books in the New Testament.
I will briefly summarize the different kingdoms first and then we will get into the Scriptures where you can see for yourself these FIVE different kingdom LEVELS of God where it is God’s WILL and desire that every human being make it into God’s FIFTH and final Kingdom, the New Heaven, and the New Earth.
So then, the first kingdom of God is the natural kingdom of God which every human being is a part of simply because they are born as a human being.
Everyone enters this natural kingdom of God as a natural child of God when they are born of the FLESH.
But this kingdom is a FALLEN kingdom wherein God has CONCLUDED ALL human beings as fallen SHORT of his intended glory.
Now the REASON of WHY God has condemned ALL of mankind to death is so that he could provide a WAY for every human being to be saved.
This is what the Bible calls in Hebrews as “So GREAT SALVATION” that if we reject God’s WAY to save us then how shall we escape God’s judgment?
God wants us to be HIS workmanship and not our OWN workmanship wherein there will always be BOASTING.
Please understand that the condemnation that I am speaking of here in this study of God's word did NOT occur in the garden of Eden when Adam sinned.
The Bible does NOT teach Calvinism. God CONCLUDED all men including his chosen people the children of Israel to be under sin when Jesus said while dying on the cross the words, “It Is FINISHED”.
Again, we will get into the scriptures on this shortly but let us begin with Hebrews 2:3 that tells us about God’s so great a salvation which FIRST began to be revealed to mankind by Jesus before the cross.
Hebrews 2:3.
“How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;”
But before we get into the explanation of God’s highest Kingdom of God which can only be obtained God’s WAY through HIS so great a salvation let us begin with the first kingdom of God which began in the garden of Eden.
Most Christians know the Biblical account of how Adam sinned and was cast out of the garden and how death “reigned” until the law came.
The term “death REIGNED” briefly means that Satan was wreaking havoc over God’s creation of mankind where there were more unrighteous people than there were righteous people but God ALREADY had the PLAN to redeem mankind back to himself BEFORE God ever created man.
So in short, part of God’s plan of salvation involved God making a covenant with Abraham to choose out a people for himself.
And then as another part of his plan of salvation, God ADDED the law where he made a covenant with his CHOSEN people, the children of Israel, through Moses.
Thus in this natural kingdom of God, there are many kingdoms of men where God made a covenant with his chosen people Israel so he could bless them.
And in simple terms, if one is not in a COVENANT relationship with God then they are in Satan’s fallen kingdom.
We are not going to go any deeper than this concerning these lower kingdoms that are NOT God’s will for us.
God wants ALL of his natural children to PROGRESS along with HIS PLAN of so GREAT a SALVATION and to keep moving up each level until they reach the highest Kingdom level which is the ages to come beginning with the NEW Heaven and the New Earth.
Now the god over the kingdom of natural men is Satan’s influence which is what the Bible refers to as the god of this world, who we as Christians, know to be Satan the deceiver of mankind.
So then, within this present world are two kingdoms. There is the natural kingdom controlled or INFLUENCED by Satan, the god of this present world, who deceives and blinds the eyes of those who are LOST.
And Satan can also deceive Christians but that is another study in and of itself so let us stay on track.
What I mean by lost is that the natural man is still yet under the condemnation or penalty of death and there is only ONE WAY to escape spiritual death or separation from Almighty God and that is to enter into the NEW COVENANT that God first began to make with the house of Israel and the house of Judah.
Please read Jeremiah 31:31-33.
“Behold, the days come, says the LORD, that I will make a NEW COVENANT with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
Jeremiah 31:32. Not according to the covenant (Speaking of the Old Covenant of the law of Moses that was ADDED because of transgression to help the Children of Israel have their sins covered so that God could still bless them when they KEPT the covenant.
There would be no need for a NEW Covenant if the children kept the OLD covenant perfectly. So the New Covenant is not the same as the Old Covenant) that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; (The land of Egypt is symbolic language speaking of the world system.
Just briefly, if you are in a covenant relationship with God and you are KEEPING his covenant then you are no longer a child of the Devil but rather you are the children of God.
In other words, God ADDED the OLD covenant of the LAW of Moses so that he could BLESS the children of Israel so long as they were KEEPING His covenant) which my covenant they brake, although I was a husband unto them, says the LORD: (So, the problem was that God’s chosen people Israel that became divided to become the house of Israel and the house of Judah and both houses kept BREAKING God’s OLD covenant of the law of Moses.
So God promised that He would make a NEW COVENANT with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah which would be a BETTER COVENANT.
And this NEW COVENANT was established by the shed blood of God’s Messiah on the cross which the children of Israel as a whole rejected.
The house of Judah symbolically represents the church that is the seed of Abraham through FAITH in Jesus who is of the tribe of JUDAH)
Jeremiah 31:33. But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; AFTER those days, says the LORD, (This phrase “after those days” is speaking of the TWO days that the house of Israel REJECTED Jesus as their Messiah, BUT the house of Judah ACCEPTED.
You see, with the Lord one day is as a thousand years and a thousand years is as a day so the two days are the two thousand years starting at the resurrection of Jesus or on the day of Pentecost and extends to the COMING of Jesus which is when a REMNANT of Israel will accept Jesus as the Messiah.
Did you notice that the house of Judah is not mentioned in this verse? That is because the CHURCH goes into the Kingdom of Heaven BEFORE the house of Israel.
I believe that the house of Judah was a type or shadow of the church and that the Jews of the tribe of Judah accepted God’s so great a salvation while the children of Israel from the 10 tribes of the northern kingdom reject Jesus as their Messiah) I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.”
So right now the children of Israel do not actually have a covenant relationship with God because they REJECTED God’s offer of a NEW COVENANT at this present time.
But God promised that he would turn to them again a SECOND TIME which will begin at the COMING of Jesus and continue through to the END of the 1000-year reign of Jesus.
Now, I do not believe that anyone can be certain that only the tribes of Judah and Benjamin received Jesus as the Messiah while every single Hebrew Israelite from the northern ten tribes all rejected Jesus.
It may be that some Jews from the southern kingdom rejected Jesus while some children of Israel from the ten northern tribes accepted Jesus as their Messiah.
ALL the twelve tribes are called the children of Israel but there the Bible prophesied that the New Covenant would be given to BOTH houses of Israel.
You will see what I mean by the separation between the house of Israel and the house of Judah as we continue this study in God’s word.
Please read Isaiah 11:11.
“And it shall come to pass in that DAY, that the Lord shall set his hand AGAIN the SECOND TIME to recover the REMNANT of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.”
The DAY being spoken of here in this verse of prophecy is the 1000 year long day called the Millennium which is the 1000-year reign of Jesus in the world to come.
The DAY begins at the second coming of Jesus to deliver his people Israel out of captivity and gather the children of Israel scattered all over the entire earth back into the land that God promised to give to them.
Now that you have seen that there are different kingdoms in the Bible let us focus our attention on the FIVE different Kingdoms of God. or more precisely, the five LEVELS in the one Kingdom of God that is progressing from stage to stage.
Each level would be likened to a stage of growth. There is an entry level Kingdom which is being BORN as a human being but we know that this NATURAL Kingdom has fallen short of the glory of God which God INTENDED for mankind.
I do not include the garden of Eden with just Adam and Eve because neither Adam nor Eve were BORN.
Also, I do not include the garden of Eden because it is a picture of God’s paradise He desires for us to inherit in the fifth kingdom level, the New Heavens and the New Earth.
Then there is the Kingdom of God which is more precisely called the Kingdom of God’s dear Son and I will explain why in this study in God’s word as we get more into the Scriptures.
But first, let us finish the general overall summary of the five Kingdom LEVELS of God.
The third kingdom is commonly called the Kingdom of heaven at times and also the Kingdom of God at other times.
It is also called the world to come, the 1000-year reign of Jesus, the Millennium, the Paradise earth by the Jehovah’s Witnesses, and even the New heaven and the new earth by those who are confusing the 1000-year reign of Jesus as being the New heavens and new earth Kingdom.
So then, why is there so much confusion in the body of Christ as to WHAT is the Kingdom of God?
The reason that there is so much confusion between the many different church denominations and even among Christians who are in the same church denomination is that some Christians do not realize that the 1000-year reign of Jesus and the age of the church are divided into two Kingdoms ages.
They do not understand that there will be two gatherings of harvest, one BEFORE the 1000 years and one AFTER the 1000 years.
Some Christians, including some Bible scholars, do not realize that there will be two LEVELS or two kingdoms during the 1000-year reign of Jesus.
So then, what happens DURING the 1000 years? Well, or one thing there will be the Kingdom of the IMMORTALS who will rule and reign WITH Jesus in the CITY of God up in the AIR, the SKY, or in outer space in an orbit of the earth over the earthly city of Jerusalem up from the surface of the earth.
And this kingdom of the IMMORTALS is more precisely called the Kingdom of Heaven because once you reach this Kingdom level then the second death will have no more power over you and you are GUARANTEED entrance into the FIFTH Kingdom LEVEL which is the NEW Heaven and the NEW earth and this GOES on to continue or extend into all eternity future.
But there will also be the Kingdom of the MORTALS during the 1000-year reign of Jesus who are not allowed entrance into the CITY of God but who will rather be down on the surface of the earth.
And that MORTAL kingdom in the world to come, the 1000 year reign of Jesus, which is also called by Christians as the Millennium, will be the FOURTH kingdom LEVEL of God which can be SKIPPED OVER or avoided if one chooses to be translated into the Kingdom of God’s dear Son NOW in this PRESENT world which is called, “TODAY is the day of salvation”.
Please read Colossians 1:12-14.
“Giving thanks unto the Father, which has made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
Colossians 1:13. Who has delivered us from the power of darkness, and has translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
Colossians 1:14. In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:”
So then, the Kingdom of God’s dear Son which BEGINS in this present world as the Kingdom that is WITHIN those of us who BELIEVE that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God, who suffered and died on the cross for our sin to deliver us from the POWER of darkness, which is Satan’s kingdom.
But there is another LEVEL to this Kingdom of God’s dear Son which is the world to come which will BEGIN at the COMING of Jesus and last for 1000 years.
And those of us who have been translated into the Kingdom of God’s dear Son who remain in Jesus Christ by obeying his commandments and teachings found in the New Testament will be made partakers of the divine nature of IMMORTALITY to INHERIT the Kingdom of HEAVEN to rule and reign WITH Jesus over the MORTALS down on the surface of the earth during the remaining 1000 years of the Kingdom of God’s dear Son.
Now, earlier I said that the FOURTH Kingdom could be skipped over or avoided if one is found as that good and faithful servant who is in Jesus Christ NOW in this present world.
What I meant by this is those people who are ALIVE at the TIME of the COMING of Jesus can AVOID being a MORTAL down on the surface of the earth in the world to come if they accept Jesus as their Messiah NOW BEFORE he returns.
Once he returns it will be TOO late to receive eternal life at his coming and those who reject Jesus now who are ALIVE at his COMING will suffer the WRATH of God.
Suffering the WRATH of God or the battle of Armageddon as the Jehovah’s Witnesses view the wrath of God does NOT mean that every last human being will be destroyed and ONLY the Christians will remain alive.
No! A thousand times no! God promised that he would turn AGAIN a SECOND TIME to recover the REMNANT of his people Israel.
So right there that should tell anyone who has eyes to see and ears to hear that MORE than just Christians will enter into the world to come.
But the HUGE difference is that ONLY the true born-again faithful Christians will be made partakers of the divine nature of IMMORTALITY.
Which means that all others who SURVIVE the WRATH of God at the COMING of Jesus by calling on the name of the Lord to be saved shall be saved ALIVE in their MORTAL bodies.
They will enter into the Millennium to be taught of the Lord and thus the second death will still yet have POWER over them.
The MORTALS will NOT enter into REST from all their WORKS and they will work physically to rebuild the cities. And they will work to prove themselves WORTHY of the FIFTH Kingdom level.
In other words, those who enter into the 1000 years in their MORTAL bodies are NOT guaranteed entrance into the fifth Kingdom level which is the New Heaven and the New Earth.
It will be ONLY the SAINTS who shall be made kings and priest unto God and we shall rule and reign WITH Jesus as IMMORTAL beings over the mortals down on the surface of the earth and the second death will have no more power of us who ARE Christ’s at his COMING.
And thus we will be guaranteed entrance into the FIFTH Kingdom level which again is the new heavens and the new earth.
So, that is what I mean by AVOIDING being a MORAL during the 1000-year reign of Jesus.
I do NOT want to give anyone the wrong idea that they will get a SECOND CHANCE at receiving eternal life.
TODAY, as in, right now is the day of salvation and God is calling men and women everywhere to REPENT so that they can be translated into the Kingdom of God’s dear Son NOW in this PRESENT world to have the Kingdom of God WITHIN them NOW, so that they will be able to ENTER into the world to come as OVERCOMERS.
Let us now take a look at those verses which DESCRIBE this present Kingdom of God’s dear Son compared to the 1000-year reign of God’s Son during the world yet to come.
This present TWO DAYS or two thousand years of the Kingdom of God’s dear Son is described as being the Kingdom that will come without observation and shall be WITHIN us as compared to the 1000-year reign of God’s Son during the world yet to come where Jesus will rule FOR Yahweh in Yahweh’s NAME while Yahweh takes his Sabbath rest during the seventh 1000 year long day of the Lord.
That is why Jesus called himself the Lord of the SABBATH because he understood that he will be called God of the WHOLE earth to rule FOR his God and Father Yahweh during Yahweh’s Sabbath rest as he prophesied in Genesis 2:1-3.
By reading the LITERAL translation you will see that God has not yet rested a single day since the Genesis account of the re-creation of the earth.
But for now please read Luke 17:20,21.
“And when he was demanded of the Pharisees WHEN the kingdom of God should COME, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God comes NOT with OBSERVATION:
Luke 17:21. Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is WITHIN you.”
So then, in a nutshell or in as few words as I know how to say, what Jesus is saying here is that in order to enter into the Kingdom of HEAVEN in the world to come, as an OVERCOMER and be granted the right to receive ETERNAL LIFE to rule and reign WITH him, you must FIRST allow the kingdom of God to enter into YOU NOW, in this PRESENT world to be WITHIN you.
This is why I am describing the Kingdom of God in LEVELS of progression which will lead to the FIFTH and greatest Kingdom of God which has not even entered into the mind of man what God has prepared for those who LOVE him.
And, if you LOVE God, you will OBEY his Son, Jesus. The Bible is very clear on this ONE commandment of Yahweh and that is we MUST OBEY what his Son Jesus has taught us in the New Testament.
Some Christians have not fully comprehended the truth of the whole word of God concerning being saved.
What I mean by this is that some Christians teach that as soon as you have been translated into the Kingdom of God then you are forever saved and you cannot ever lose your salvation no matter what.
They misunderstand the Scriptures by focusing only on SOME of the Scriptures to come to the WRONG conclusion that as soon as a person is born-again they are given ETERNAL LIFE and therefore to THEM they are eternally saved and can never lose their eternal life.
But that is NOT what the Bible ITSELF teaches us when we interpret every verse in the light of the rest of God’s word.
Please read the words of Jesus HIMSELF in Mark 10:29-31 which clearly teaches us that we do not actually RECEIVE eternal life UNTIL the world to come.
Mark 10:19-31.
“And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that has left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's,
Mark 10:30. But he shall receive a hundredfold NOW in THIS time, (Speaking of NOW in this PRESENT world) houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; AND in the world to COME eternal life.
Mark 10:31. But many that are FIRST shall be LAST; and the last first.”
In verse 31, Jesus is speaking about the Jews and the Gentiles who believe in Jesus as their Messiah NOW in this PRESENT world BEFORE his COMING that they, the church, shall enter into the Kingdom of God FIRST.
And all those who are ALIVE after Jesus has poured out the WRATH of God upon the DISOBEDIENT to the gospel of Jesus Christ shall enter into the Kingdom of God LAST.
Now, this can be a little confusing at first because some Christians have not yet seen these different LEVELS of the Kingdom of God.
And, therefore, some Christians have WRONGLY concluded that God’s WRATH will destroy every last human being and NONE will be left alive to enter into the 1000-year reign of Jesus.
This is why the Jehovah’s Witnesses are teaching errors concerning the COMING of Jesus.
They think that Jesus has already returned INVISIBLY back in 1914 which, by the way, did not BECOME a teaching until AFTER the prophecies made by the elders of the Jehovah’s Witnesses of the coming of Jesus on a certain date FAILED.
And THEN to try and keep every Christian from leaving the church denomination or organization the leaders felt that they had to change from teaching the VISIBLE return of Jesus to begin to wrongly teach that Jesus did come in 1914.
But those leaders of the Jehovah’s Witnesses misunderstood the Scriptures. And they should have admitted they were wrong and continued teaching that what Jesus really meant by his coming in that he would return VISIBLY.
The god of this world has BLINDED their minds to the TRUTH of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Whenever PRIDE enters the shepherds of God’s flock so that they will NOT humble themselves to admit that they were WRONG then it is a downhill slippery slide for that church denomination until they REPENT of their FALSE teachings.
Please understand that I am not picking on my dear Jehovah’s Witness brothers and sisters in our Lord Jesus Christ because they are not the only Christians who have errors in some of their church doctrines.
There are many church denominations that have some errors in SOME of their church doctrines.
For example, some Christians from several different church denominations are dogmatically demanding PRE-tribulation Christians who do not understand the different LEVELS of the kingdom of God either.
And thus they have created a whole new group of believers that they call the “tribulation saints” because of their confusion of the scriptures to wrongly reason WHO will the church rule over during the 1000 years if ONLY Christians are given eternal life in the world to come?
Their FOCUS is on ESCAPING the great tribulation which they WRONGLY assume is one and the same thing as the WRATH of God.
And they wrongly teach that Jesus will destroy ALL the wicked who reject Jesus as their savior and thus to THEM there has to be another group of believers that they call the “tribulation saints” who will enter into the Millennium in their mortal bodies to be ruled over by the church saints.
So you can see how much confusion has entered into the body of Jesus Christ simply because some Christians have failed to see the different LEVELS of PROGRESSING in God’s Kingdom.
Let us begin again by me listing, by number, the five different LEVELS of the Kingdom of God. Not five Kingdoms but rather ONE Kingdom having five different LEVELS.
LEVEL #1.
The Kingdom of the NATURAL man which again is the FALLEN Kingdom which we should no longer want to be a part of if we want to receive ETERNAL LIFE in the world to come.
LEVEL #2.
The FIRST LEVEL of the Kingdom of God’s dear Son is again WITHIN us who BELIEVE in Jesus as the Christ, the Son of the living God.
Now we will REMAIN in this entry level, so to speak, of the Kingdom of God’s dear Son until we die physically or until Jesus returns.
There are no CONDITIONS placed upon anyone to ENTER this ENTRY LEVEL of the Kingdom of God’s Son.
All anyone has to do is BELIEVE the true Gospel of Jesus Christ and you are IMMEDIATELY accepted by God and translated into the Kingdom of God’s dear Son.
No one can ever KICK you OUT of the Kingdom of God’s dear Son. They may KICK you OUT of the church but they cannot KICK you out of the Kingdom of God’s dear Son. NEVER forget that.
God KNOWS who are his and that is all that matters. THEY are NOT your judge.
So, even though THEY leave and forsake you always remember that God has promised YOU that He will never leave you nor forsake you.
Now the ONLY WAY that you will not be able to enter into the next LEVEL of the Kingdom of God’s dear Son, in the world to come, to receive ETERNAL LIFE, is for YOU to REJECT Jesus as your Lord and Savior or be found NOT WORTHY because of living in unrepentant sin.
Just because you reject some of the man-made church DOCTRINES does NOT mean that you are rejecting God or His Son Jesus.
As we grow in God’s word His Holy Spirit leads us out of false doctrine and our CONSCIOUS will no longer allow us to believe and teach those false doctrines.
But some of your brothers and sisters in our Lord Jesus Christ in your church denomination or organization do not understand that it is God’s Holy Spirit who has opened your eyes of understanding, and they THINK you are turning away from God when you yourself know that you are NOT turning away from God but rather you are turning to HIS word of TRUTH.
LEVEL #3.
The Kingdom of God’s dear Son called the world to come and the 1000-year reign of Jesus.
This LEVEL of God’s kingdom has two classes of people who will enter into the world to come.
And trust me when I say that you should strive to enter into the world to come as an IMMORTAL son or daughter of God and not as a MORTAL son or daughter of God.
And the ONLY WAY for you to enter into the world to come as an IMMORTAL son or daughter of God is to ALREADY be the ENTRY LEVEL of the kingdom of God’s dear Son right NOW in this PRESENT world to already have the Kingdom of God’s dear Son WITHIN and time is running out. Jesus is coming soon.
So then, if you are ALREADY a true born-again Spirit-filled believer in Jesus as the Christ, the SON of the living God who suffered and died on the cross for YOUR sins, then you are BEING saved.
You have been forgiven ALL your PAST sins and God has made an EASY way for you to be forgiven of every other sin you commit except for blaspheming the Holy Spirit and for taking the MARK of the beast.
Blaspheming the Holy Spirit can be summed up as the sin of UNBELIEF that God dwelt in the Son of man, Jesus.
To say this another way, blaspheming the Holy Spirit would be denying that Jesus is the Christ, the ANOINTED ONE of God, the Messiah, and the SON of the living God.
And taking the MARK of the beast would also be REJECTING Jesus as the SON of God who suffered and died for your sins in order to save your MORTAL physical life.
Any other sin no matter how bad and how many times you commit those sins, so long as you CONFESS your sins and REPENT of those sins, then God is faithful and just to forgive you of any present sin, so that you can be made PERFECT even as your Father in heaven is perfect.
In other words, any future sin that a true born-again Christian may commit MUST be CONFESSED to God asking God’s forgiveness in order for any future sins to be forgiven and cleansed away.
This is what Jesus meant when he said be you PERFECT EVEN as your Father in heaven is PERFECT.
When you first became a true born-again Christians the shed blood of Jesus washes you CLEAN and the very righteousness of God was bestowed upon you to be made PERFECT in the EYES of Almighty God.
And every time you CONFESS any present sin that you may be committing right now or yet any future sin you may commit the same thing happens.
The shed blood of Jesus CLEANSES you from all your sins and you are RESTORED to the PERFECTION in God’s EYES when you CONFESS your sins.
So do NOT be deceived by Calvinism which WRONGLY teaches that all the future sins of a Christian are already forgiven and therefore to THEM a Christian does not need to confess their sins.
This is why I teach my readers to NOT argue and debate with the Holy Spirit who is convicting you of sin and you are trying to reason away your sin to HUMBLE yourself, admit that you sinned and be QUICK to repent and confess your sin BELIEVING that God is FAITHFUL to forgive you of all your sins ONLY if you CONFESS those future sins.
And by OBEYING the Holy Spirit to CONFESS those future sins you will stay CLEANSED, then you will be found to be that good and faithful servant to enter into the world to come as an OVERCOMER and receive your reward of ETERNAL LIFE.
And by entering into the world to come, by being found WORTHY to receive eternal life to rule and reign WITH Jesus, you will avoid entering into the world to come in your MORTAL body where the SECOND death or lake of fire will still have POWER over you.
Again, please understand that this is NOT a SECOND CHANCE for Christians living in SIN.
It is NOT a second chance for NON-believer who have already died or who will yet die BEFORE Jesus returns.
It is ONLY a second chance, so to speak, for the REMNANT of Israel and for those who SURVIVE the WRATH of Almighty God who will be ALIVE at the coming of Jesus.
They will survive the wrath of God by CALLING on the name of the Lord to be saved alive.
It will be TOO LATE for them to be saved to receive ETERNAL LIFE by then but they will be saved ALIVE in their MORTAL bodies to be taught of the Lord having the HOPE of being found that good and faithful servant when they die so that they can be resurrected AFTER the 1000 years has ended.
Israel will not be given eternal life until AFTER the 1000 years at the second a final resurrection of the dead.
What happens after the 1000-year reign of Jesus will be like a mirror image of what will happen right before the 1000-year reign of Jesus at the coming of Jesus.
Trust me when I WARN you that it will be much easier NOW to be found that good and faithful servant than it will be in the world to come so WHY take that chance when God’s so great a salvation is so easy NOW in this present world?
LEVEL #4.
Those people who are NOT raptured to receive eternal life and who go THROUGH the WRATH of God and SURVIVE by CALLING upon the name of the Lord to be saved.
They will be saved ALIVE in their MORTAL bodies and they will be divided at the beginning of the 1000 years into two classes of people that the Bible calls the SHEEP and the GOATS.
The SHEEP are the children of Israel which will include the 144,000 sealed Jews from the twelve tribes of Israel.
And the GOATS are the Islamic Muslims and all the Gentile nations who repent by CALLING upon the name of the Lord to be SAVED.
The children of Israel will rule OVER the Islamic Muslims and the rest of the Gentile nations to fulfill the promise of God to RESTORE the Kingdom to Israel.
Now the Muslims believe that they are the true seed of promise and have been lifted up with pride.
But they will be made to SERVE the children of Israel and be made to bow down at our feet and worship us because of their pride in saying that they are Jews when they are NOT.
Let me list the order of RANK in the world to come by lettering this order from the top to the bottom so you can see how it will be during the world to come.
Yahweh, which is the highest who has and always will be the highest and over all his creation.
Jesus who is second in command and the only one over him is Yahweh, Almighty God the Father.
The FAITHFUL Christians who will be granted ETERNAL LIFE and made kings and priests unto God to rule and reign WITH Jesus for 1000 years over the MORTALS down on the surface of the earth.
The Jews or the twelve tribes of Israel who will be in their MORTAL bodies.
The Islamic Muslims and those left alive of the nations.
The two groups in 4 and 5 will be TAUGHT of the Lord during the 1000-year reign of Jesus. They will marry and have children and the life-span of ALL the mortals will be 100 years of age.
No one will die prematurely and thus everyone will live to be 100 years old.
This does not mean that as soon as they turn 100 years of age then the very next second they will die.
But rather this means that their vitality will remain to 100 years old and most will die within a few years after reaching 100 years of age.
I will talk more about what it will be like as a MORTAL in the world to come in another study. But for now, let us move on to Kingdom level number FIVE.
LEVEL #5.
This Kingdom level will BEGIN after the 1000-year reign has ended.
As soon as the LITERAL 1000 year reign has ended, in the world to come, then Satan will be turned loose out of his prison or the holding place in the bottomless pit where he will be bound DURING the 1000 year reign of Jesus.
Satan will then go out and DECEIVE the NATIONS to make war with the children of Israel and also fight against the CITY of God.
In other words, this will be the FINAL rebellion and FINAL WAR against God.
Then the final part of God’s WRATH will come down out of heaven as fire and devour those who are making WAR against God’s people.
Then the SECOND and FINAL resurrection, the only other resurrection that will take place, will occur after this final war.
And ANOTHER book of life will be opened and whosoever is NOT found written in that book of life will be cast into the lake of fire along with Satan the Devil and his fallen angels to be destroyed never to rise again.
And those found written in the book of life will be granted eternal life and will be allowed to enter into the CITY of God, the New Jerusalem.
God will create a New Heaven and a New Earth wherein the eternal righteous sons and daughters will inherit the NEW earth and the tabernacle of God will come down out of heaven and Yahweh HIMSELF will dwell will his NEW CREATION created in his Son Jesus Christ.
I am pretty sure that most if not all the remnant of Israel and their families born to them will be found good and faithful servants and be granted eternal life at the end of the 1000-year reign of Jesus.
But, I am not so sure about the Muslims and the other Gentile nations left alive after the first part of God’s wrath will submit to be ruled over by Jesus during his reign as the God of the whole earth.
The Bible says that after Satan is loosed for a little season, he will go out and DECEIVE the NATIONS who fought against Israel.
So, I personally do not see ALL or even most Muslims entering into the FIFTH and highest Kingdom level of God.
This, of course, is just my own opinion. There are many Muslims today receiving dreams and visions of Jesus and they are converting to Christianity even though they realize that their own family members may kill them for rejecting Islam.
So I do see that MOST Muslims who will enter into the Millennium learning about Jesus to become followers of Jesus, to be found faithful to enter the fifth kingdom level.
I do see that some or perhaps even many will be saved throughout the 1000 years but it is made quite clear that many will indeed be DECEIVED when Satan is loosed to tempt them at the end of the 1000 years.
It is this FIFTH kingdom level that is God’s WILL for all humanity to enter but NOT all humans will enter into this glorious Kingdom of God.
Some people in the world will reject that there even is a God. Some others will choose other world religions like Hinduism or Buddhism.
Others will remain in their faith of Islam and in faith in Muhammad and choose Islam as the only true faith. While others will remain in their Jewish religion.
It will be like it is today during the church age where some people in the world will indeed enter into the ENTRY level of the Kingdom of God’s dear Son but they are giving up their faith by being deceived to choose another faith or to become an atheist.
Others are being deceived to turn back to their lifestyle of sin knowing that they are sinning but not caring for whatever reason. And others are being deceived to EXCUSE their sin by saying that there is NOT a sin.
They try and change the Scripture to excuse their sin of homosexuality. And SOME are taking a CHANCE and willingly sin knowing that they are sinning.
And if they DIE suddenly while committing that sin before they have a chance to repent of that sin they will lose their salvation.
They may have thought in their mind that they would repent later but Satan cut their life short suddenly and quickly and they never had a chance to repent.
Others who have rejected Jesus like the Muslims and the Jews who will be fortunate enough to be LIVING at the time Jesus returns MAY come to understand that it is the Messiah who is coming and they will call upon the name of the Lord to be saved alive.
BUT what if you should DIE BEFORE Jesus returns and you reject him NOW?
And at the time of your death, you still have not believed that he is the Christ, the SON of the living God who suffered and died on the cross for YOUR sins and you die without ever believing that Jesus died for YOUR sins?
But what happens then? Well, according to God’s WORD, you will be resurrected AFTER the 1000-year reign of Jesus to face the white throne judgment.
God will look for your name in that book of life and it will NOT be there so he will have no choice but to throw you into the lake of fire which is the SECOND death. You will NOT receive eternal life.
If you do NOT believe me then you have NOT truly read the Holy Bible with any real understanding.
And by the way, to all the Jews and the Muslims who are reading this study in God’s word, the Holy Bible also INCLUDES the NEW Testament.
Like it or not because the NEW Testament is Almighty God’s NEW COVENANT, which God promised he would make in the prophecies written in the Old Testament.
And if you do not accept God’s NEW COVENANT, then you have no covenant relationship with Almighty God since God’s Old Covenant is no longer valid seeing that Israel kept breaking it.
And since you have no covenant relationship with God then you are a child of Satan the Devil and you are sending YOURSELF to the lake of fire on the Day of Judgment by REJECTING God’s NEW Covenant.
And God’s New Covenant is established with the shed blood of Jesus the ONLY name God has given whereby men MUST be saved.
Please read Acts 4:10-12.
“Be it known unto you ALL (Meaning be it KNOWN all you Muslims, all you atheists, all you who are in other religions or the world, and all you Gentiles of every nations), AND to ALL the people of Israel, that by the NAME of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.
Acts 4:11. This is the stone which was set at naught of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.
Acts 4:12. Neither is there salvation in any other: (There is no salvation in Judaism, there is no salvation in Islam, and there is no salvation in any other religion of the world.) FOR (Or because Yahweh the ONLY TRUE God has CHOSEN that) there is NONE other NAME under heaven given among men, whereby we MUST be saved.”
Almighty God Yahweh has NOT given us, speaking of all of mankind, any other CHOICE.
So, either we choose HIS WAY or there will be no WAY that you will receive ETERNAL LIFE in the world to come, so you can ultimately enter into the FIFTH and HIGHEST LEVEL of the Kingdom of God.
This life on earth, even if you live to be 1000 years old, is only a vapor of breath compared to eternity.
And the GREATEST punishment of all for REJECTING God’s so great a salvation, will be the KNOWING that it was so EASY to have obtained ETERNAL LIFE God’s WAY.
And those who reject Jesus as their Messiah will be shown on the Day of Judgment that it was they who made their own CHOICE to do things their OWN WAY to save themselves.
Why would anyone reject so great a salvation? Have they not been told of the things that God has prepared for them who love him?
Or have they heard and the 70 virgins sound better to them? Or have they heard another lie from Satan, the Devil?
Here is what the Bible itself teaches what the ages to come will be like. If it does not sound all that great to you then you must need your head examined.
Revelation 21:4,5.
“And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
Revelation 21:5. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.”
1 Corinthians 2:9.
“But as it is written, Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for them that love him.”
Some people make excuses saying that eternity is a long time. What if I do not like it? What if I get bored? What will we do in eternity? Sitting on a cloud playing the harp sounds boring.
Well, as you have just seen eternity will not be like it is NOW in this present world with pain and suffering and struggles, and fear.
In eternity there will be AGES upon ages upon ages to come. THINK how big the UNIVERSE is right now and it is STILL GROWING bigger all the time.
Think of how many thousands of years it would take to just travel, vacation, and explore in just ONE single galaxy.
Ephesians 2:6-7.
“And has raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
Ephesians2:7. That in the AGES to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.”
Many have not even left the country in which they were born and I know that some of you would love to travel the world to see its beauty but there simply is not enough time or money.
The Bible says that the RIGHTEOUS will have ALL the money and riches in the entire world. The treasures of the UNJUST are laid up for the JUST.
Why even your YOUTH shall be restored to you when you enter into the world to come if you are found to be that good and faithful servant of God in his Son Jesus Christ NOW in this PRESENT world BEFORE Jesus returns.
Job 33:24,25.
“Then he is gracious unto him, and said, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.
Job 33:25. His FLESH shall be fresher than a child’s: he shall RETURN to the days of his YOUTH:”
So, all you old fogies, so to speak, who let life pass you by and now you are too OLD to enjoy life and do those things you never had time to do or could not afford to do.
Now is your chance to do all those things and MORE, way much more. Things you can not even IMAGINE.
Think about it! Your YOUTH will be returned to you and your flesh will be fresh and soft and smooth as a child’s flesh.
No more wrinkles, no more age spots, no more pain, no more sickness, no more sorrow, only JOY, PEACE and HAPPINESS and all the time you need to do the things that God has prepared for those who LOVE him.
If God has promised to supply all our NEEDS now in this present world, then why would he not provide our every need in eternity?
The Bible does not tell us much about the ages to come after the 1000-year reign of Jesus. B
ut we do know that in the world to come, that over a short period of time, perhaps under 1000 years, this present earth which will be nearly utterly destroyed by the Islamic Muslim armies making war against Israel will be rebuilt by the mortals down on the surface of the earth.
I can see God saying to the Muslims who survive his wrath telling them, you destroyed my earth, and now you and the nations allied with you are going to be slaves and rebuild the cities you destroyed.
Not much is said about what the CITY of God looks like or will be like but we can get an idea from what the surface of the earth will be like as to how much greater the city of God will be like.
We are told of the CITY of God that its streets are of pure gold and all the adornment of every precious stone.
But what is all that compared to living in the presence of Almighty God and our precious Lamb who laid down his life, of his own free will, when he did not have to do that for us even while we were yet sinners?
Now back down to the surface of the earth. All the weapons of war will be destroyed; there will be no crime or violence. Men will live in PEACE with each other.
There will be no sickness. We will be teaching them about the Lord and his ways. There will be no more wild beasts. No carnivorous animals.
A baby will be able to play with poisonous snakes that will not bite them. A lamb will lay down with a wolf.
A lion will eat grass like an ox. Satan will be bound so there will be no more violent storms or floods but just the right amount of rain for the crops. There will be no hunger,
So then seeing that it will be PARADISE on earth how much greater will it be in the CITY of God where we will be, who ARE in Jesus Christ at his COMING, ruling and reigning WITH Jesus over the mortals down on the surface of the earth?
Back to the verses in the Bible speaking of the Kingdom of God.
The phrase “Kingdom of Heaven” is found 33 times and every time it is found is in the gospel of Matthew.
And the phrase “Kingdom of God” is found 70 times and every time in the New Testament.
And there are five verses with the word “Kingdom” and the word “son” in the same verse which I will go ahead and quote for you.
Matthew 13:41.
“The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;”
Matthew 16:28.
“Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.”
Matthew 22:2.
“The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,”
Colossians 1:13.
“Who has delivered us from the power of darkness, and has translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:”
Hebrews 1:8.
“But unto the Son he says, YOUR throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of YOUR kingdom.”
And from all these verses we can see that the Kingdom of heaven, the Kingdom of God, and the Kingdom of God’s dear Son are all one and the SAME Kingdom but in different stages.
We, as Christians, progress from one stage or one level to the next level or stage until we reach the FIFTH level of God’s kingdom.
So just to sum things up a bit, the Kingdom of God’s dear Son STARTED with Jesus establishing God’s NEW COVENANT with his shed blood on the cross.
Matthew 26:28.
“For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins”
Hebrews 9:14.
“And for this cause, he is the mediator of the New Testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.”
Hebrews 7:22.
“By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.”
Hebrews 8:6.
“But now has he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.”
Hebrews 12:24.
“And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaks better things than that of Abel.”
So then, ONLY those who accept God’s offer of his NEW COVENANT are in a covenant relationship with God. And, therefore, we as Christians, are in the Kingdom of God’s dear Son having the Kingdom of God WITHIN us.
And everyone else in the world is still in the NATURAL Kingdom of God. They are of the world and are called children of the Devil in God’s word.
And we are NOT of the world in the same way that Jesus said that he was NOT of the world and we are called the children of God who are given the POWER of God dwelling in us to BECOME the eternal sons and daughters of God.
Just like Jesus became God’s eternal Son by OVERCOMING sin THROUGH the eternal Spirit who dwelt in him during the days of his flesh.
Please read John 17:13-18.
“I have given them your word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, EVEN as I am not of the world.
John 17:15. I pray not that you should take them out of the world, but that you should keep them from the evil.
John 17:16. They are not of the world, EVEN as I am not of the world.
John 17:17. Sanctify them through your truth: your word is truth.
John 17:18. As you have sent me into the world, EVEN so have I also sent them into the world.”
But Jesus told the Jews that they ARE of THIS world. So then, seeing that God’s FIRST chosen people ARE of THIS world and their father is Satan, the Devil, then the rest of the people of the world who are NOT Christians ARE of THIS world and their father is Satan, the Devil, according to the words of Jesus.
BUT God is NEARER to them than they realize and all they need to do to ENTER into the Kingdom of God’s dear Son, to have the Kingdom of God within them, is to BELIEVE the true gospel of Jesus Christ.
Please read the studies E-4. HOW TO BE SAVED! and E-7. WHAT is the TRUE GOSPEL of Jesus CHRIST?
To all my Jehovah’s Witness brothers and sisters in our Lord Jesus Christ, you do NOT want to be one of the 144,000.
To all my dear brothers and sisters in our Lord Jesus Christ, who claim that they are the TRUE Jews you do NOT want to be a Jew in the world to come.
Only those who ARE Christ’s at his coming will be granted ETERNAL LIFE in the world to come to rule and reign WITH Jesus up in the CITY of God over the mortals down on the surface of the earth which will NOT be a PARADISE for several years due to the destruction during the war of Armageddon.
Keep in mind that Jesus is returning to END the war against Israel and to destroy those who are DESTROYING the earth.
One thing that points to a NUCLEAR disaster or a NUCLEAR WAR is that only certain men will be employed to bury the bones of the dead.
If someone sees a bone then they are to place a marker by that bone and then those employed to bury the bones will come along and do that job of burying the bones.
Sounds as if they MAY be RADIOACTIVE and therefore dangerous for just the average person to bury the bones of the dead. I mean how hard is it to bury a bone?
Also, Zechariah describes the PUNISHMENT of the wicked as their flesh melting off of them and their eyes melting in their sockets and their tongues melting or consuming away ALL while they are standing.
Zechariah 14:11-12.
“And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited.
Zechariah 14:12. And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.”
This sounds like some kind of weapon of massive destruction creating intense heat so that only the bones are left.
This plague wherewith God will smite the Islamic Muslim armies fighting against Israel MAY be their OWN nuclear weapons gone a rye and destroys them rather than the children of Israel.
To me, if it is one of God’s weapons I do not see it as being radioactive.
But then again, it would not take God a million years to cleanse the earth.
My main point is to all my Jehovah’s Witness readers that Paradise earth will NOT be a Paradise for many years into the Millennium and the MORTALS will be doing the WORK to clean up the destruction and rebuild the cities to be inhabited so you do NOT want to be a mortal during the 1000-year reign of Jesus.
There is one more verse in Proverbs 8 where Jesus will dwell in the HABITABLE PART of the earth so it appears that some parts of the earth will NOT be habitable due to men DESTROYING the earth.
Thanks for reading, and may God bless you richly as you continue to seek the TRUTH of the WHOLE word of Almighty God.
And to me, the truth concerning who Jesus TRULY is, according to the Bible ITSELF, is the Biblical Unitarian view of Jesus.
Once Christians, Jews, Muslims, and even atheists understand the REASON that Yahweh CREATED the Son of MAN, Jesus, was to have DOMINION over the work of Yahweh’s hands.
And after you understand that the REASON that Yahweh did that is to STILL His ENEMIES, Satan and the fallen angels.
Then you can understand that God made His human Son to become “a” Lord, “a” King, and “a” God, under and subject to his God and Father in order to JUDGE Satan and the fallen angels.
For a deeper understanding of this WAR that Lucifer and one third of the angels waged against the throne of Almighty God, please read the studies under the subject category called ** Q-0 Why Are We Here? Is God at WAR? **.
