1Pe 4:7 But The End Of All Things Is At Hand

Jer 25:9 ASV - behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith Jehovah, and [I will send] unto Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all these nations round about; and I will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and a hissing, and perpetual desolations.
The Lord calls this man Nebuchadrezzar his servant how can this be ?        Isa 10:15 ASV - Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth therewith? shall the saw magnify itself against him that wieldeth it? as if a rod should wield them that lift it up, [or] as if a staff should lift up [him that is] not wood.
Isa 10:16 ASV - Therefore will the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory there shall be kindled a burning like the burning of fire.    But can the ax boast greater power than the person who uses it? Is the saw greater than the person who saws? Can a rod strike unless a hand moves it? Can a wooden cane walk by itself? 
      Isa 45:6 ASV - that they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none besides me: I am Jehovah, and there is none else.
Isa 45:7 ASV - I form the light, and create darkness; I make peace, and create evil. I am Jehovah, that doeth all these things.
Nebuchadrezzar was an axe he was a Tool of Gods judgement a rod of correction , he was created to met out Gods judgement.     Mat 3:10 ASV - And even now the axe lieth at the root of the trees: every tree therefore that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.  And so it is today,   God has created tools for this last day and they are fast at work , when there is no way out than will a man cry out to God.    But do not wait until the door is closed.      God is merciful he is long suffering and slow to anger he has made a way of escape he is Jesus Christ.

Jhn 2:18 ASV - The Jews therefore answered and said unto him, What sign showest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?      Jesus said only the sign of Jonah.
Jhn 2:19 ASV - Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
Jhn 2:21 ASV - But he spake of the temple of his body.  Jesus was speaking of the reconciliation of God to his people the old structure was fading away and God was not in the temple of stone and mortar a man made structure . Jesus told the religious leaders that refuesd him and his realationship with his father , your house has been left unto you desolate    Luk 13:35 ASV - Behold, your house is left unto you [desolate]: and I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.  The sign was ,  that upon the death of Jesus and his resurrection to newness of life he gave the right to every one that believed on him that same resurrection life. So in three days Jesus established the true house of God he rebuilt the church of God .  It is called the new testament church in his blood .  And his church is those that believes he is the son of God and filled with his spirit  .   Jhn 1:11 ASV - He came unto his own, and they that were his own received him not.
Jhn 1:12 ASV - But as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become children of God, [even] to them that believe on his name:
Jhn 1:13 ASV - who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.     Born again to newness of life born of his spirit and washed in his blood. 
Jhn 1:14 ASV - And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father), full of grace and truth.   
Rom 8:3 ASV - For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
Rom 8:4 ASV - that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Rom 8:5 ASV - For they that are after the flesh mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
Rom 8:11 ASV - But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwelleth in you, he that raised up Christ Jesus from the dead shall give life also to your mortal bodies through his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
1Jo 4:2 ASV - Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:   Three days in the earth and than he was resurrected and all of those that believe on his name have resurrection life through him , the sign is,    it is Christ in you the hope of glory.       And this verse is speaking of Christ coming in his body of believers Christ has come in the flesh   IN YOUR FLESH .  This was Gods plan all along  But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwelleth in you, he that raised up Christ Jesus from the dead shall give life also to your mortal bodies through his Spirit that dwells in you.  The only way a man can say Jesus is Lord is by his spirit that dwells in him , that is your confession its Christ in you the hope of glory,   every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:   There is a time coming a latter rain a revival  from God in these last days and God is preparing workers for the harvest.   I have heard it said from other Godly men that the book of Acts will repeat again and I believe that also. The great mighty works of the spirit with signs and wonders.       It will bring in that day great persecution and great trial .  And God will manifest his wonderful works through his faithful servants just as when the children left out of Egypt .    Mar 13:19 ASV - For in those days shall be tribulation, such as there has never been the like from the beginning of the creation of God until now .  Jesus said        Will there be no tribulation for Gods people as we are told by the organized church.  Will the church they represent at that very moment just fly away . The bible says no that will not happen until there is sanctification on every mans part . The word in 1Cr 15:24 ASV - Then [cometh] the end, when he shall deliver up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have abolished all rule and all authority and power.       Now the kingdom here is the kingdom of his people and the kingdom will be comprised of his sanctified ones.    Sanctified in the Greek

Greek: hagiazo

Hallow:
"to make holy" (from hagios, "holy"), signifies to set apart for God, to sanctify, to make a person or thing the opposite ofkoinos, "common;" it is translated "Hallowed," with reference to the name of God the Father in the Lord's Prayer, Mat 6:9;Luk 11:2.

   Luk 17:20 ASV - And being asked by the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God cometh, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
Luk 17:21 ASV - neither shall they say, Lo, here! or, There! for lo, the kingdom of God is WITHIN YOU.
The kingdom of God is established in you before you can can meet him in the air ,  it is within you
Christ in you the hope of meeting him in his glory.  Jhn 3:13 ASV - And no one hath ascended into heaven, but he that descended out of heaven, [even] the Son of man, who is in heaven.
The truth here is that Jesus is the first fruits and every one that comes after him will be just like him God is coming back for the fruit of Christ he is our example to follow. He is the character  the nature and the authority of God and we must see he is our very life.   And God gives the grace for us to walk in this, that is why it says we are saved by his grace, no man can save himself .     1Jo 3:2 ASV - Beloved, now are we children of God, and it is not yet made manifest what we shall be. We know that, if he shall be manifested, we shall be like him; for we shall see him even as he is.  Why did Jesus say to pick up your cross and follow him , every thing Jesus did and said while he was on this earth was for you to follow,   Jhn 1:12 ASV - But as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become children of God, [even] to them that believe on his name:        Greek: onoma
Name:      for all that a "name" implies, of authority, character, rank, majesty, power, excellence, etc., of everything that the "name" covers:   This is why Jesus said to eat his flesh and drink his blood
he was the word made flesh and to eat this word and drink his blood is to partake of his son ship unto the father.  God is not coming for the plant your flesh he is coming for the fruit the fruit of his son Jesus in you. And so the word says the only ones that will meet him in the air is his saints .  And no one hath ascended into heaven, but he that descended out of heaven, [even] the Son of man, who is in heaven.  Only Jesus has ascended into heaven ,  And those that are like him.    1Cr 15:50 ASV - Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.        Yes there is perfection in Christ contrary to mans other gospel ,      Rom 8:14 ASV - For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
Rom 8:19 ASV - For the earnest expectation of the creation waiteth for the revealing of the sons of God.
Gal 3:26 ASV - For ye are all sons of God, through faith, in Christ Jesus.  He is the example the pattern son we are to follow . He hung on his cross physically so you could hang on yours spiritually.
Luk 9:23 ASV - And he said unto all, If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.   It says the kingdom of God is in you,    Rom 12 : 1-2   transforming you daily by the renewing of you mind the word of God if you obey it will renew your mind.  And what is the kingdom of God like       Luk 13:19 ASV - It is like unto a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his own garden; and it grew, and became a tree; and the birds of the heaven lodged in the branches thereof.
Luk 13:24 ASV - Strive to enter in by the narrow door: for many, I say unto you, shall seek to enter in, and shall not be able.
Luk 13:25 ASV - When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, open to us; and he shall answer and say to you, I know you not whence ye are;
Jesus is the sower sowing the word of God into your heart bringing about his kingdom in you the hope of Glory. And the word glory      Greek: doxa
Dignity, Dignities:

primarily denotes "an opinion, estimation, repute;" in the NT, always "good opinion, praise, honor, glory, an appearance commanding respect, magnificence, excellence, manifestation of glory;" hence, of angelic powers, in respect of their state as commanding recognition, "dignities," 2Pe 2:10; Jud 1:8.
See GLORY, HONOR, PRAISE, WORSHIP.
Col 1:27 ASV - to whom God was pleased to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

Luk 8:14 ASV - And that which fell among the thorns, these are they that have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of [this] life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
Luk 8:15 ASV - And that in the good ground, these are such as in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, hold it fast, and bring forth fruit with patience.
Mat 13:8 ASV - and others fell upon the good ground, and yielded fruit, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
God knows who you are and he knows your name , there is nothing hidden from him.   The greatest part about this is he has already done it for you ,  Jesus is Lord of the sabbath he is your rest .  
Eph 2:5 ASV - even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace have ye been saved),
Eph 2:8 ASV - for by grace have ye been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, [it is] the gift of God;
   There is absolutely nothing you can do to be saved but to fall into the arms of Jesus and be broken and rest in his Love.

God Being Rich In Mercy

Eph 2:4 NASB - But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us,
Eph 2:5 NASB - even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),

Mercy
Greek: eleos
Merciful (Adjective, and Verb, to Be), Mercy (Noun, and Verb, to Have, Etc.):

"is the outward manifestation of pity; it assumes need on the part of him who receives it, and resources adequate to meet the need on the part of him who shows it. It is used
(a) of God, who is rich in mercy, Eph 2:4, and who has provided salvation for all men, Tts 3:5, for Jews, Luk 1:72, and Gentiles, Rom 15:9. He is merciful to those who fear him, Luk 1:50, for they also are compassed with infirmity, and He alone can succor them. Hence they are to pray boldly for mercy, Hbr 4:16, and if for themselves, it is seemly that they should ask for mercy for one another, Gal 6:16; 1Ti 1:2. When God brings His salvation to its issue at the Coming of Christ, His people will obtain His mercy, 2Ti 1:16; Jud 1:21;

(b) of men; for since God is merciful to them, He would have them show mercy to one another, Mat 9:13; 12:7; 23:23; Luk 10:37; Jam 2:13.

"Wherever the words mercy and peace are found together they occur in that order, except in Gal 6:16. Mercy is the act of God, peace is the resulting experience in the heart of man. Grace describes God's attitude toward the law-breaker and the rebel; mercy is His attitude toward those who are in distress."*


"In the order of the manifestation of God's purposes of salvation grace must go before mercy . . . only the forgiven may be blessed . . . From this it follows that in each of the Apostolic salutations where these words occur, grace precedes mercy, 1Ti 1:2; 2Ti 1:2; Tts 1:4 (in some mss.); 2Jo 1:3"

GRACE
Greek: charis
Benefit, Benefactor:

"grace," is once rendered "benefit," 2Cr 1:15; it stresses the character of the "benefit," as the effect of the gracious disposition of the benefactor.
See ACCEPTABLE, FAVOR, GRACE, LIBERALITY, PLEASURE, THANK.

grace
a) that which affords joy, pleasure, delight, sweetness, charm, loveliness: grace of speech
2) good will, loving-kindness, favour
a) of the merciful kindness by which God, exerting his holy influence upon souls, turns them to Christ, keeps, strengthens, increases them in Christian faith, knowledge, affection, and kindles them to the exercise of the Christian virtues
3) what is due to grace
a) the spiritual condition of one governed by the power of divine grace
b) the token or proof of grace, benefit
1) a gift of grace
2) benefit, bounty
4) thanks, (for benefits, services, favours), recompense, reward
But in the order of the manifestation of God’s purposes of salvation the grace must go before the mercy,   It is true that the same persons are the subjects of both, being at once the guilty and the miserable; yet the righteousness of God, which it is quite as necessary should be maintained as his love, demands that the guilt should be done away, before the misery can be assuaged; only the forgiven may be blessed. He must pardon, before He can heal; men must be justified before they can be sanctified. And as the righteousness of God absolutely and in itself requires this, so no less that righteousness as it has expressed itself in the moral constitution of man, linking as it there has done misery with guilt, and making the first the inseparable companion of the second.


Mat 3:13 ASV - Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to the Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.
I am looking today at the beginning of our walk with the Lord and how we can come before God and receive his righteousness.   Now reading the book of     Luk 1:41 ASV - And it came to pass, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit;
Luk 1:42 ASV - and she lifted up her voice with a loud cry, and said, Blessed [art] thou among women, and blessed [is] the fruit of thy womb.
Luk 1:76 ASV - Yea and thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Most High: For thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to make ready his ways;
Luk 1:77 ASV - To give knowledge of salvation unto his people In the remission of their sins,
Luk 1:78 ASV - Because of the tender mercy of our God, Whereby the dayspring from on high shall visit us,
Luk 1:79 ASV - To shine upon them that sit in darkness and the shadow of death; To guide our feet into the way of peace.
Luk 1:80 ASV - And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his showing unto Israel.

John had to come before Jesus,  And the same is true today for every man the very first thing we must see is that with out repentance no man shall see God.       Hbr 12:14 ASV - Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man shall see the Lord:

Sanctification
Holiness, Holy, Holily:

translated "holiness" in the AV of Rom 6:19, 22; 1Th 4:7; 1Ti 2:15; Hbr 12:14, is always rendered "sanctification" in the RV. It signifies
(a) separation to God, 1Cr 1:30; 2Th 2:13; 1Pe 1:2;

(b) the resultant state, the conduct befitting those so separated, 1Th 4:3, 4, 7, and the four other places mentioned above. "Sanctification" is thus the state predetermined by God for believers, into which in grace He calls them, and in which they begin their Christian course and so pursue it. Hence they are called "saints" (hagioi).peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man shall see the Lord:    Mat 6:12 ASV - And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.      Mat 6:12 ASV - And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
Mat 6:14 ASV - For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
Mat 6:15 ASV - But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.   The bible says Love workth no Ill unto his neighbor, therefore Love is the fulfilling  of the Law  Rom 13-10 .  

Matt 6-12     The word debt    ) metaphorically, of sin as a "debt," because it demands expiation, and thus payment by way of punishment, Mat 6:12.  A ransom was paid for mankind and blood was the payment .     1Ti 2:6 ASV - who gave himself a ransom for all; the testimony [to be borne] in its own times;                                       
And the word debtors   (b) of those who have not yet made amends to those whom they have injured, Mat 6:12, "our debtors;" of some whose disaster was liable to be regarded as a due punishment, Luk 13:4   I see here that if some one offends you and brings hurt to you and you get emotionally involved in your flesh,  than you are guilty of the offense of not turning the other cheek. Forgiving that person and letting Love and the fruit of the spirit be manifested and work in you.   Mat 5:23 ASV - If therefore thou art offering thy gift at the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath aught against thee,  
Mat 5:24 ASV - leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way, first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. If an unforgiving heart works and has its way in you than it brings in a root of bitterness ,   metaphorically, of a root of "bitterness," producing "bitter" fruit. .   The most important lesson Jesus taught is to Forgive,  hold no grudges and be not bitter against any one. He said to his father as he looked out on these that crucified him and as he was dieing .       Luk 23:34 ASV - And Jesus said, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And parting his garments among them, they cast lots.
Isa 40:3 ASV - The voice of one that crieth, Prepare ye in the wilderness the way of Jehovah; make level in the desert a highway for our God.
Isa 40:4 ASV - Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low; and the uneven shall be made level, and the rough places a plain:
Isa 40:5 ASV - and the glory of Jehovah shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together; for the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken it.
Jhn 1:26 ASV - John answered them, saying, I baptize in water: in the midst of you standeth one whom ye know not,
Jhn 1:27 ASV - [even] he that cometh after me, the latchet of whose shoe I am not worthy to unloose.

Jhn 1:35 ASV - Again on the morrow John was standing, and two of his disciples;
Jhn 1:36 ASV - and he looked upon Jesus as he walked, and saith, Behold, the Lamb of God!

Jhn 1:30 ASV - This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man who is become before me: for he was before me.
Jhn 1:31 ASV - And I knew him not; but that he should be made manifest to Israel, for this cause came I baptizing in water.
Jhn 1:33 ASV - And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize in water, he said unto me, Upon whomsoever thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and abiding upon him, the same is he that baptizeth in the Holy Spirit.

Luk 3:5 ASV - Every valley shall be filled, And every mountain and hill shall be brought low; And the crooked shall become straight, And the rough ways smooth;
This verse is speaking of the accessibility to Jesus it is wide open , his grace is what saves us. It says every valley shall be filled every mountain and hill brought low.  The Lord has made the way possible for men to come unto him.  You see that is why John came baptizing with a baptism  of repentance .   Mat 3:1 ASV - And in those days cometh John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, saying,
Mat 3:2 ASV - Repent ye; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Mat 3:3 ASV - For this is he that was spoken of through Isaiah the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make ye ready the way of the Lord, Make his paths straight.
Luk 3:6 ASV - And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
I believe in the end it will be true of those that chose to live according to this worlds ways and live some sort of christian live outwardly but inwardly live to there flesh .  Jesus said if you find your life in this world you will lose your eternal life with him. 
Mat 10:39 ASV - He that findeth his life shall lose it; and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.
Mat 16:25 ASV - For whosoever would save his life shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake shall find it.
When a man comes to God he makes a confession to the fact that he renounces his former life of sin and commits his whole life there after to serving God , it says in   Hbr 11:7 ASV - By faith Noah, being warned [of God] concerning things not seen as yet, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; through which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith. Love not the world nor the things in it.  The word says we repent we see our sinnful nature and have a change of mind,  and than according to scripture   Act 2:37 ASV - Now when they heard [this,] they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and the rest of the apostles, Brethren, what shall we do?
Act 2:38 ASV - And Peter [said] unto them, Repent ye, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ unto the remission of your sins; and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
   To Be baptized 1Pe 3:20 ASV - that aforetime were disobedient, when the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water:
1Pe 3:21 ASV - which also after a true likeness doth now save you, [even] baptism, not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the interrogation of a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ;
   Rom 6:4 ASV - We were buried therefore with him through baptism unto death: that like as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.             Rom 6:6 ASV - knowing this, that our old man was crucified with [him], that the body of sin might be done away, that so we should no longer be in bondage to sin;
And now comes the power to live a sanctified life, and overcome this world through Gods spirit .  And Ye Shall Receive The Gift Of The Holy Ghost.   It happens to you Just as it happened to the one hundred and twenty on the day of Pentecost .   The baptism of the Holy Ghost is an absolute experience,   it is the most wonderful thing that happens to a man or a woman it is being born again to a new life hidden in Christ . It is Christ in you the hope of glory.   The bible does not tell us to except Christ as our personal savior and that is it ! and you are saved. No it does not say that , it says to repent with the heart and that is the valley filled and the mountain  brought low it brings you right to the throne of grace .      Gal 4:5 ASV - that he might redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.           Gal 4:6 ASV - And because ye are sons, God sent forth the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, Abba, Father.  
The word Abba   Greek: abba
Abba:
is an Aramaic word, found in Mar 14:36; Rom 8:15 and Gal 4:6. In the Gemara (a Rabbinical commentary on the Mishna, the traditional teaching of the Jews) it is stated that slaves were forbidden to address the head of the family by this title. It approximates to a personal name, in contrast to "Father," with which it is always joined in the NT. This is probably due to the fact that, abba having practically become a proper name, Greek-speaking Jews added the Greek word pater, "father," from the language they used. "Abba" is the word framed by the lips of infants, and betokens unreasoning trust; "father" expresses an intelligent apprehension of the relationship. The two together express the love and intelligent confidence of the child.
The Greek number for Abba in the Strong's concordance is five and five is the number of Grace so Gal 4:5- 6 is saying to us that we are redeemed from the law of sin and death and have received the adoption of sons. We can cry to our father Daddy Daddy for through Jesus he is our great father.

Jhn 3:5 ASV - Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except one be born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God!
Jhn 3:6 ASV - That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Jhn 3:7 ASV - Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born anew.


This is the blessings God bestows upon those that sever him and love his word. 

Deu 28:1-14  ASV - And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of Jehovah thy God, to observe to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that Jehovah thy God will set thee on high above all the nations of the earth:
 and all these blessings shall come upon thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of Jehovah thy God.
  Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field.
  Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy beasts, the increase of thy cattle, and the young of thy flock.
  Blessed shall be thy basket and thy kneading-trough.
  Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out.
  Jehovah will cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thee: they shall come out against thee one way, and shall flee before thee seven ways.
  Jehovah will command the blessing upon thee in thy barns, and in all that thou puttest thy hand unto; and he will bless thee in the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee.
 Jehovah will establish thee for a holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee; if thou shalt keep the commandments of Jehovah thy God, and walk in his ways.
  And all the peoples of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of Jehovah; and they shall be afraid of thee.
 And Jehovah will make thee plenteous for good, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which Jehovah sware unto thy fathers to give thee.
  Jehovah will open unto thee his good treasure the heavens, to give the rain of thy land in its season, and to bless all the work of thy hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.
  And Jehovah will make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if thou shalt hearken unto the commandments of Jehovah thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do [them],
  and shalt not turn aside from any of the words which I command you this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.

Now contrary to many peoples belief about the curses and the Law they have never departed this earth and to live under any of the law and not all of it , will be guilty of the whole Law.     Above we see the blessings and below we see the curses of not being obedient to the word of God  .  Jesus said he came not to do away with the law. But that he came to fulfill the Law.      Rom 3:25 ASV - whom God set forth [to be] a propitiation, through faith, in his blood, to show his righteousness because of the passing over of the sins done aforetime, in the forbearance of God;

Greek: hilasterion
Propitiation:

akin to A, is regarded as the neuter of an adjective signifying "propitiatory." In the Sept. it is used adjectivelly in connection with epithema, "a cover," in Exd 25:17; 37:6, of the lid of the ark (see MERCY-SEAT), but it is used as a noun (without epithema), of locality, in Exd 25:18-22; 31:7; 35:12; 37:7, 8, 9; Lev 16:2, 13-15; Num 7:89, and this is its use in Hbr 9:5.
Elsewhere in the NT it occurs in Rom 3:25, where it is used of Christ Himself; the RV text and punctuation in this verse are important: "whom God set forth to be a propitiation, through faith, by His blood." The phrase "by His blood" is to be taken in immediate connection with "propitiation." Christ, through His expiatory death, is the Personal means by whom God shows the mercy of His justifying grace to the sinner who believes. His "blood" stands for the voluntary giving up of His life, by the shedding of His blood in expiatory sacrifice, under Divine judgment righteously due to us as sinners, faith being the sole condition on man's part.

The curses Duet 28:15-68  They are the opposite of the blessings of God remember Jesus said the prophets and Moses wrote of him .  And the old testament is a type and shadow of better things to come .   Rom 11:24 ASV - For if thou wast cut out of that which is by nature a wild olive tree, and wast grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree; how much more shall these, which are the natural [branches], be grafted into their own olive tree?
Rom 11:25 ASV - For I would not, brethren, have you ignorant of this mystery, lest ye be wise in your own conceits, that a hardening in part hath befallen Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in;
Rom 11:26 ASV - and so all Israel shall be saved: even as it is written, There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer; He shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
Rom 11:27 ASV - And this is my covenant unto them, When I shall take away their sins.
Rom 11:28 ASV - As touching the gospel, they are enemies for your sake: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sake.
Rom 11:29 ASV - For the gifts and the calling of God are not repented of.
Rom 2:28 ASV - For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh:
Rom 2:29 ASV - but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

Mat 22:9 ASV - Go ye therefore unto the partings of the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage feast.
Mat 22:10 ASV - And those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was filled with guests.
Mat 22:11 ASV - But when the king came in to behold the guests, he saw there a man who had not on a wedding-garment:
Mat 22:12 ASV - and he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding-garment? And he was speechless.
Mat 22:13 ASV - Then the king said to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and cast him out into the outer darkness; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
Mat 22:14 ASV - For many are called, but few chosen.

The Bread Of Presence

Mat 6:11 KJV - Give us this day our daily bread.

1Sa 21:3 KJV - Now therefore what is under thine hand? give [me] five [loaves of] bread in mine hand, or what there is present.
1Sa 21:4 KJV - And the priest answered David, and said, [There is] no common bread under mine hand, but there is hallowed bread; if the young men have kept themselves at least from women.
1Sa 21:5 KJV - And David answered the priest, and said unto him, Of a truth women [have been] kept from us about these three days, since I came out, and the vessels of the young men are holy, and [the bread is] in a manner common, yea, though it were sanctified this day in the vessel.


Act 27:30 ASV - And as the sailors were seeking to flee out of the ship, and had lowered the boat into the sea, under color as though they would lay out anchors from the foreship,
Act 27:31 ASV - Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.
Act 27:32 ASV - Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.
Act 27:33 ASV - And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take some food, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye wait and continue fasting, having taken nothing.
Act 27:34 ASV - Wherefore I beseech you to take some food: for this is for your safety: for there shall not a hair perish from the head of any of you.
Act 27:35 ASV - And when he had said this, and had taken bread, he gave thanks to God in the presence of all; and he brake it, and began to eat.
Act 27:36 ASV - Then were they all of good cheer, and themselves also took food.
Act 27:42 ASV - And the soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any [of them] should swim out, and escape.
Act 27:43 ASV - But the centurion, desiring to save Paul, stayed them from their purpose; and commanded that they who could swim should cast themselves overboard, and get first to the land;
Act 27:44 ASV - and the rest, some on planks, and some on [other] things from the ship. And so it came to pass, that they all escaped safe to the land.

 Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.  What was Paul saying here it was prophetic in everyway.     He was saying in this verse to us , you can not save yourself stay in the Ark of safety.
Paul said unless you eat this bread you will have no strength !  They had been without bread for fourteen days, The number fourteen in bible numeric's  is   Deliverance and Salvation
The 35 verse says Paul gave them the Bread of presence  1 Sam 21: 4  and it sustained them and brought Joy.    Verse 42 The natural world will try and kill these men bringing true bread of life , but God will save his own.  And they all escaped safe to land.

1Sa 21:4 KJV - And the priest answered David, and said, [There is] no common bread under mine hand, but there is hallowed bread; if the young men have kept themselves at least from women.
There are two kinds of bread to look at in this verse ,  now the word common is used here to describe the differences of the bread in the world another gospel and the true unleavened bread of God.     The show bread is the holy fresh bread that was place on the table every sabbath day by the priest, Gods word is above everything else.  And the word Common in verse 4 above   [There is] no common bread under mine hand common in Hebrew is  profaneness, commonness, unholy, profane, sand.   This word Sand is very interesting remembering the parable that building your house on sand will bring destruction when the flood comes, and so will common bread another gospel.    This is also describing leavened bread corrupt bread common apostate teaching .      Now look at this close let us take the microscope of the Holy Spirit and see what the Lord is showing us today. Now no true word of God is common all of Gods word is Holy and true.   Rom 3:4 ASV - God forbid: yea, let God be found true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy words, And mightest prevail when thou comest into judgment.
  Let God be true and every man a liar. The word says he could swear by no one greater than himself so he swore by his word he has kept his promise.  Every word born of the spirit of God is profitable  2Ti 3:16 ASV - Every scripture inspired of God [is] also profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction which is in righteousness.
Once again I am speaking of the spirit of Gods word this verse in 1Sam 24 is a type and shadow of greater things to come and they have come in the person of Jesus Christ the SON OF MAN.
When I read this verse in  , Luk 6:3 ASV - And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read even this, what David did, when he was hungry, he, and they that were with him;  There is a physical hunger and there is a spiritual hunger. It says blessed are they that hunger after righteousness FOR they shall be filled .    Jhn 6:26 ASV - Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw signs, but because ye ate of the loaves, and were filled.
Jhn 6:27 ASV - Work not for the food which perisheth, but for the food which abideth unto eternal life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him the Father, even God, hath sealed.
There are two kinds of bread here the spiritual and the physical. The common bread is speaking of the false bread , the other gospel men preach. There is only one bread and one righteous bread it is Jesus and him crucified.            Jhn 6:35 ASV - Jesus said unto them. I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall not hunger, and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
Jhn 6:48 ASV - I am the bread of life.
  He that comes to me Shall never hunger and shall never thirst , remember where Jesus said in       Jhn 6:51 ASV - I am the living bread which came down out of heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: yea and the bread which I will give is my flesh, for the life of the world.
Jhn 6:55 ASV - For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
You must see this in the Spirit and not the letter.   His flesh is his word he was the word made flesh and his blood is his very nature  and it says the life is in the blood.  We must take on his nature and the way we do that is to be filled with his SPIRIT.      
Jhn 1:12 ASV - But as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become children of God, [even] to them that believe on his name:
Jhn 1:13 ASV - who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.   THIS IS BEING BORN AGAIN , This word is reconciling us unto God every day that we obey his word  it is renewing us daily.  Born of God born of his Spirit
Jhn 1:14 ASV - And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father), full of grace and truth.
Now we look at the verse's closely to see the parallel of truth in the Old and the new.  The bread of presences was the bread that came off the table and was replace every sabbath with new bread .
 Hbr 4:12 ASV - For the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and quick to discern the thoughts and intents of the heart  .  And still holy and still meant for holy people sanctified vessels.  Remember it is spiritual bread for you and I.     David took the holy bread and gave it to his men also. He said he and his men were clean vessels because they were not defiled by women   Rev 17  .  David is a type and a shadow of servants to come even now they are being nurtured and fed this holy bread to become servants just as the David in Sam 24.      Rom 6:22 ASV - But now being made free from sin and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto sanctification, and the end eternal life.
1Cr 1:30 ASV - But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who was made unto us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption:
1Th 4:3 ASV - For this is the will of God, [even] your sanctification, that ye abstain from fornication;
1Th 4:4 ASV - that each one of you know how to possess himself of his own vessel in sanctification and honor,
Hbr 12:14 ASV - Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man shall see the Lord:
Mat 24:24 ASV - For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.

Rev 17:2 ASV - with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and they that dwell in the earth were made drunken with the wine of her fornication.
Rev 17:6 ASV - And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And when I saw her, I wondered with a great wonder.
Who is the harlot of Revelations 17    Harlot     Greek: porne
"a prostitute, harlot" (from pernemi, "to sell"), is used
(a) literally, in Mat 21:31, 32, of those who were the objects of the mercy shown by Christ; in Luk 15:30, of the life of the Prodigal; in 1Cr 6:15, 16, in a warning to the Corinthian church against the prevailing licentiousness which had made Corinth a byword; in Hbr 11:31; Jam 2:25, of Rahab;

(b) metaphorically, of mystic Babylon, Rev 17:1, 5 (AV, "harlots"), 15, 16; 19:2, RV, for AV, "whore."
  1Cr 6:15 ASV - Know ye not that your bodies are members of Christ? shall I then take away the members of Christ, and make them members of a harlot? God forbid.
1Cr 6:16 ASV - Or know ye not that he that is joined to a harlot is one body? for, The twain, saith he, shall become one flesh.

Rev 17:2 ASV - with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and they that dwell in the earth were made drunken with the wine of her fornication.
Rev 17:6 ASV - And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And when I saw her, I wondered with a great wonder.

For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.
Act 13:34 ASV - And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he hath spoken on this wise, I will give you the holy and sure [blessings] of David.
2Pe 1:19 ASV - And we have the word of prophecy [made] more sure; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day-star arise in your hearts:

Rom 8:23 ASV - And not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for [our] adoption, [to wit], the redemption of our body.     There is a great out pouring coming to this earth in these last days a revival of Gods church his kingdom.  It is an act of his mercy upon those that see in that day and repent turn from their flesh and sins . For in that day there will be great tribulation  unlike any other time in the history of man . Tribulation such as the children endured in the wilderness coming out of Egypt .   They had to choose whom they would serve  ,  the Lord said he brought them out into the wilderness so he could show his great power and love to them . And he did many wonderful things but yet they still murmured and complained but as you see they did not go back to Egypt. They either repented or they died in the desert.  Something to understand here is that of all the people that started this journey people that walked out of Egypt only Joshua and Caleb actually walked out of Egypt and  walked into the promise land, the children born in the time of this journey were circumcised  according to the law and went into the promise land but only two of the many that started survived their faith saved them.      God in this last day will show his mercy once again unto those he Loves . He is a God of mercy , slow to anger and full of Loving kindness.  But his word is forever he has set his word at your table to feed upon and be blessed . 
Isa 55:3 ASV - Incline your ear, and come unto me; hear, and your soul shall live: and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.
David knew the true bread of God he knew Gods mercy and just like Abraham he saw Jesus from afar and worshiped him .     Luk 10:24 ASV - for I say unto you, that many prophets and kings desired to see the things which ye see, and saw them not; and to hear the things which ye hear, and heard them not.  Jesus said Abraham saw my day and he was glad.

Luk 6:4 ASV - how he entered into the house of God, and took and ate the showbread  , and gave also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat save for the priests alone?
David entered in to the house of God and he and his men ate the precious word of God, the bread of presence Jesus .  Now I am seeing the church triumphant when I say this , David is a type of the first fruits unto God in his day. And you and everyone that believes are the first fruits of Christ unto God . It is all about Jesus from beginning of this book to the end this scripture is all about Gods Mercy and Grace unto you.
Luk 6:5 ASV - And he said unto them, The Son of man is lord of the sabbath.

Sabbath     Greek: sabbaton | sabbata
Sabbath:

the latter, the plural form was transliterated from the Aramaic word, which was mistaken for a plural; hence the singular, sabbaton, was formed from it. The root means "to cease, desist" (Heb., shabath; cp. Arab., sabata, "to intercept, interrupt"); the doubled b has an intensive force, implying a complete cessation or a making to cease, probably the former. The idea is not that of relaxation or refreshment, but cessation from activity.
The observation of the seventh day of the week, enjoined upon Israel, was a sign between God and His earthly people, based upon the fact that after the six days of creative operations He rested, Exd 31:16, 17, with Exd 20:8-11. The OT regulations were developed and systematized to such an extent that they became a burden upon the people (who otherwise rejoiced in the rest provided) and a byword for absurd extravagance. Two treatises of the Mishna (the Shabbath and 'Erubin) are entirely occupied with regulations for the observance; so with the discussions in the Gemara, on Rabbinical opinions. The effect upon current opinion explains the antagonism roused by the Lord's cures wrought on the "Sabbath," e.g., Mat 12:9-13; Jhn 5:5-16, and explains the fact that on a "Sabbath" the sick were brought to be healed after sunset, e.g., Mar 1:32. According to Rabbinical ideas, the disciples, by plucking ears of corn (Mat 12:1; Mar 2:23), and rubbing them (Luk 6:1), broke the "sabbath" in two respects; for to pluck was to reap, and to rub was to thresh. The Lord's attitude towards the "sabbath" was by way of freeing it from these vexatious traditional accretions by which it was made an end in itself, instead of a means to an end (Mar 2:27).

In the Epistles the only direct mentions are in Col 2:16, "a sabbath day," RV (which rightly has the singular, see 1st parag., above), where it is listed among things that were "a shadow of the things to come" (ie., of the age introduced at Pentecost), and in Hbr 4:4-11, where the perpetual sabbatismos is appointed for believers (see REST); inferential references are in Rom 14:5; Gal 4:9-11. For the first three centuries of the Christian era the first day of the week was never confounded with the "sabbath;" the confusion of the Jewish and Christian institutions was due to declension from apostolic teaching.
The only way to enter in to this rest is to eat the bread of life and cease from your works
The priest of today the messengers called of God have hot bread to put on Gods table today fresh bread . Everyday is our sabbath day and our rest.



Shewbread:

Note: The phrase rendered "the shewbread" is formed by the combination of the nouns prothesis, "a setting forth" (pro, "before," tithemi, "to place") and artos, "a loaf" (in the plural), each with the article, Mat 12:4; Mar 2:26; Luk 6:4, lit., "the loaves of the setting forth;" in Hbr 9:2, lit., "the setting forth of the loaves." The corresponding OT phrases are lit., "bread of the face," Exd 25:30, i.e., the presence, referring to the Presence of God (cp. Isa 63:9 with Exd 33:14, 15); "the bread of ordering," 1Ch 9:32, marg. In Num 4:7 it is called "the continual bread;" in 1Sa 21:4, 6, "holy bread" (AV, "hallowed"). In the Sept. of 1Ki 7:48, it is called "the bread of the offering" (prosphora, "a bearing towards"). The twelve loaves, representing the tribes of Israel, were set in order every Sabbath day before the Lord, "on the behalf of the children," Lev 24:8, RV (marg., and AV, "from"), "an everlasting covenant." The loaves symbolized the fact that on the basis of the sacrificial atonement of the Cross, believers are accepted before God, and nourished by Him in the Person of Christ. The showbread was partaken of by the priests, as representatives of the nation. Priesthood now being co-extensive with all who belong to Christ, 1Pe 2:5, 9, He, the Living Bread, is the nourishment of all, and where He is, there, representatively, they are.

Jehovah Hath Made Bare His Holy Arm

Isaiah 53
  Who hath believed our message? and to whom hath the arm of Jehovah been revealed?
 For he grew up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
  He was despised, and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and as one from whom men hide their face he was despised; and we esteemed him not.
  .Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows; yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
  - But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
  All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and Jehovah hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
    He was oppressed, yet when he was afflicted he opened not his mouth; as a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before its shearers is dumb, so he opened not his mouth.
 By oppression and judgment he was taken away; and as for his generation, who [among them] considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living for the transgression of my people to whom the stroke [was due]?
 - And they made his grave with the wicked, and with a rich man in his death; although he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
 Yet it pleased Jehovah to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see [his] seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of Jehovah shall prosper in his hand.
  He shall see of the travail of his soul, [and] shall be satisfied: by the knowledge of himself shall my righteous servant justify many; and he shall bear their iniquities.
 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he poured out his soul unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors: yet he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
Isa 52:14 ASV - Like as many were astonished at thee (his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men),

Isa 52:10 ASV - Jehovah hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God  .
 BARE   Heb  

1) to strip, strip off, lay bare, make bare, draw out

a) (Qal)

2) to strip, lay bare

As to strip the bark from a tree , to strip away a covering

Listen the kingdom of God is happening right now it says he will deliver up the kingdom to God.  And the kingdom of God is not meat nor drink but righteousness peace and joy. To sin is to choose the road you will travel, people choose to sin to live that life style as they please . 

Greek: basileia
Kingdom:

is primarily an abstract noun, denoting "sovereignty, royal power, dominion," e.g., Rev 17:18, translated "(which) reigneth," lit., "hath a kingdom" (RV marg.); then, by metonymy, a concrete noun, denoting the territory or people over whom a king rules, e.g., Mat 4:8; Mar 3:24. It is used especially of the "kingdom" of God and of Christ.
"The Kingdom of God is

(a) the sphere of God's rule, Psa 22:28; 145:13; Dan 4:25; Luk 1:52; Rom 13:1, 2. Since, however, this earth is the scene of universal rebellion against God, e.g., Luk 4:5, 6; 1Jo 5:19; Rev 11:15-18, the "kingdom" of God is

(b) the sphere in which, at any given time, His rule is acknowledged. God has not relinquished His sovereignty in the face of rebellion, demoniac and human, but has declared His purpose to establish it, Dan 2:44; 7:14; 1Cr 15:24, 25. Meantime, seeking willing obedience, He gave His law to a nation and appointed kings to administer His "kingdom" over it, 1Ch 28:5. Israel, however, though declaring still a nominal allegiance shared in the common rebellion, Isa 1:2-4, and, after they had rejected the Son of God, Jhn 1:11 (cp. Mat 21:33-43), were "cast away," Rom 11:15, 20, 25. Henceforth God calls upon men everywhere, without distinction of race or nationality, to submit voluntarily to His rule. Thus the "kingdom" is said to be "in mystery" now, Mar 4:11, that is, it does not come within the range of the natural powers of observation, Luk 17:20, but is spiritually discerned, Jhn 3:3 (cp. 1Cr 2:14). When, hereafter, God asserts His rule universally, then the "kingdom" will be in glory, that is, it will be manifest to all; cp. Mat 25:31-34; Phl 2:9-11; 2Ti 4:1, 18.

"Thus, speaking generally, references to the Kingdom fall into two classes, the first, in which it is viewed as present and involving suffering for those who enter it, 2Th 1:5; the second, in which it is viewed as future and is associated with reward, Mat 25:34, and glory, Mat 13:43. See also Act 14:22.

"The fundamental principle of the Kingdom is declared in the words of the Lord spoken in the midst of a company of Pharisees, "the Kingdom of God is in the midst of you," Luk 17:21, marg., that is, where the King is, there is the Kingdom. Thus at the present time and so far as this earth is concerned, where the King is and where His rule is acknowledged, is, first, in the heart of the individual believer, Act 4:19; Eph 3:17; 1Pe 3:15; and then in the churches of God, 1Cr 12:3, 5, 11; 14:37; cp. Col 1:27, where for "in" read "among."

"Now, the King and His rule being refused, those who enter the Kingdom of God are brought into conflict with all who disown its allegiance, as well as with the desire for ease, and the dislike of suffering and unpopularity, natural to all. On the other hand, subjects of the Kingdom are the objects of the care of God, Mat 6:33, and of the rejected King, Hbr 13:5.

"Entrance into the Kingdom of God is by the new birth, Mat 18:3; Jhn 3:5, for nothing that a man may be by nature, or can attain to by any form of self-culture, avails in the spiritual realm. And as the new nature, received in the new birth, is made evident by obedience, it is further said that only such as do the will of God shall enter into His Kingdom, Mat 7:21, where, however, the context shows that the reference is to the future, as in 2Pe 1:10, 11. Cp. also 1Cr 6:9, 10; Gal 5:21; Eph 5:5.

"The expression 'Kingdom of God' occurs four times in Matthew, 'Kingdom of the Heavens' usually taking its place. The latter (cp. Dan 4:26) does not occur elsewhere in NT, but see 2Ti 4:18, "His heavenly Kingdom." . . . This Kingdom is identical with the Kingdom of the Father (cp. Mat 26:29 with Mar 14:25), and with the Kingdom of the Son (cp. Luk 22:30). Thus there is but one Kingdom, variously described: of the Son of Man, Mat 13:41; of Jesus, Rev 1:9; of Christ Jesus, 2Ti 4:1; "of Christ and God," Eph 5:5; "of our Lord, and of His Christ," Rev 11:15; "of our Lord, and of His Christ," Rev 11:15; "of our God, and the authority of His Christ," 12:10; "of the Son of His love," Col 1:13.

"Concerning the future, the Lord taught His disciples to pray, "Thy Kingdom come," Mat 6:10, where the verb is in the point tense, precluding the notion of gradual progress and development, and implying a sudden catastrophe as declared in 2Th 2:8.

"Concerning the present, that a man is of the Kingdom of God is not shown in the punctilious observance of ordinances, which are external and material, but in the deeper matters of the heart, which are spiritual and essential, viz., 'righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit,' Rom 14:17." *
[* From Notes on Thessalonians by Hogg and Vine, pp. 68-70.]

"With regard to the expressions "the Kingdom of God" and the "Kingdom of the Heavens," while they are often used interchangeably, it does not follow that in every case they mean exactly the same and are quite identical.

"The Apostle Paul often speaks of the Kingdom of God, not dispensationally but morally, e.g., in Rom 14:17; 1Cr 4:20, but never so of the Kingdom of Heaven. 'God' is not the equivalent of 'the heavens.' He is everywhere and above all dispensations, whereas 'the heavens' are distinguished from the earth, until the Kingdom comes in judgment and power and glory (Rev 11:15, RV) when rule in heaven and on earth will be one.         Mat 7:21 ASV - Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in heaven.
I was only going to share part of this but as I read the Strongs interpretation I feel it is important to see the whole meaning.   If God has created a new heaven and a new earth . Than we must see there is a great plan coming for those that love the Lord.
Jhn 3:12 ASV - If I told you earthly things and ye believe not, how shall ye believe if I tell you heavenly things?
Jhn 3:13 ASV - And no one hath ascended into heaven, but he that descended out of heaven, [even] the Son of man, who is in heaven.
Jhn 3:14 ASV - And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up;
Jhn 3:15 ASV - that whosoever believeth may in him have eternal life.
Jhn 3:16 ASV - For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have eternal life.
Jhn 3:17 ASV - For God sent not the Son into the world to judge the world; but that the world should be saved through him.The word world here  Greek: kosmos    Adorn, Adorning:        "a harmonious arrangement or order," then, "adornment, decoration," came to denote "the world, or the universe, as that which is Divinely arranged." The meaning "adorning" is found in 1Pe 3:3. Elsewhere it signifies "the world." Cp. kosmios, decent, modest, 1Ti 2:9; 3:2.
And this earth is in the heavenly now God made this earth and hung it in its place and it has never move it is still hanging where the Father placed it. Now what is this new heaven and new earth .
Rev 21:1 ASV - And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth are passed away; and the sea is no more.  Over sixty percent of the earth is water , seas now this says there will be no more sea.  So this new earth will become sixty percent larger and it will all become new again.    Gen 1:10 ASV - And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.

Rev 21:2 ASV - And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven of God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband.      Rev 19:8 ASV - And it was given unto her that she should array herself in fine linen, bright [and] pure: for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.   The kingdom of God will be here upon a new heaven and a new earth . Noah step out of the Ark of safety on to a new earth for as the old had been destroyed . And God started over he said go and replenish the earth ,  God had Noah save the animals for the new beginning and also Noah and his family were saved by this water.  But it is not certain what will take place in the end of all things , but God once again will renew but he will not use the old creation this time to renew the earth again.  1Cr 15:53 ASV - For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
1Cr 15:54 ASV - But when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.    For everything that is of the earth including yours and my flesh will remain on this old earth.  1Jo 3:2 ASV - Beloved, now are we children of God, and it is not yet made manifest what we shall be. We know that, if he shall be manifested, we shall be like him; for we shall see him even as he is.
Jesus is coming back in his glorified body and also in the body of his children ,   The word manifested       Greek: phaneroo    Appear, Appearing:        akin to No. 1, signifies, in the Active Voice, "to manifest;" in the Passive Voice, "to be manifested;" so, regularly, in the RV, instead of "to appear." See 2Cr 7:12; Col 3:4; Hbr 9:26; 1Pe 5:4; 1Jo 2:28; 3:2; Rev 3:18. To be manifested, in the Scriptural sense of the word, is more than to "appear." A person may "appear" in a false guise or without a disclosure of what he truly is; to be manifested is to be revealed in one's true character; this is especially the meaning of phaneroo, see, e.g., Jhn 3:21; 1Cr 4:5; 2Cr 5:10, 11; Eph 5:13.   It is Christ in you the hope of Glory     Col 1:27 ASV - to whom God was pleased to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
Rom 8:9 ASV - But ye are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you. But if any man hath not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.      What is this saying the mystery is you must be born again to see the kingdom of God .   When you read this word and believe, obey you are partaking of the body and the blood of Christ . Jesus said you must eat my flesh and drink my blood the spiritual is that you take hold of this word and as John said    Jhn 3:30 ASV - He must increase, but I must decrease.   Renewing your mind with Gods word.
 Col 1:27 ASV - to whom God was pleased to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
Rom 8:9 ASV - But ye are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you. 
1Jo 3:2 ASV - Beloved, now are we children of God, and it is not yet made manifest what we shall be. We know that, if he shall be manifested, we shall be like him; for we shall see him even as he is.
Luk 17:20 ASV - And being asked by the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God cometh, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:    Jhn 3:8 ASV - The wind bloweth where it will, and thou hearest the voice thereof, but knowest not whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.   Luk 17:21 ASV - neither shall they say, Lo, here! or, There! for lo, the kingdom of God is within you.  Christ in you the hope of Glory there is an infilling of his spirit given, the promise to those that believe.   The people in Jesus day saw him as the carpenters son, they said this is Joseph's son they saw his flesh only. So it is today people of God called and filled with his spirit  people only see the flesh, the letter of Gods word.  God is calling sons    1Cr 15:50 ASV - Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.   So it is the fruit of Christ in you ,  that shall inherit the kingdom of God the Lord is coming for the fruit of Jesus in you.  The kingdom of God is not meat nor drink  its not about your old man the carnal nature but Christ in you the hope of glory.    1Cr 15:52 ASV - in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.  We Shall Be Changed ! and than death has no more power over us.
     2Cr 5:14 ASV - For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that one died for all, therefore all died;
2Cr 5:15 ASV - and he died for all, that they that live should no longer live unto themselves, but unto him who for their sakes died and rose again.
2Cr 5:16 ASV - Wherefore we henceforth know no man after the flesh: even though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now we know [him so] no more.
2Cr 5:17 ASV - Wherefore if any man is in Christ, [he is] a new creature: the old things are passed away; behold, they are become new.
2Cr 5:18 ASV - But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and gave unto us the ministry of reconciliation;


Rev 21:3 ASV - And I heard a great voice out of the throne saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he shall dwell with them, and they shall be his peoples, and God himself shall be with them, [and be] their God:

Rev 21:5 KJV - 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.
Rev 21:6 KJV - And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
Rev 21:7 KJV - He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.  Remember this has never happen before it is a new thing God has done he says behold I make ALL things new once again.     Gen 1:10 ASV - And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.



1Th 4:16 ASV - For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven, with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first;

1Th 4:17 ASV - then we that are alive, that are left, shall together with them be caught up in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Wash Me With Hyssop

Jhn 3:36 ASV - He that believeth on the Son hath eternal life; but he that obeyeth not the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him.

Jhn 3:16 ASV - For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have eternal life.   

    Wrath   Greek:  "Aionios is also used of the sin that 'hath never forgiveness,' Mar 3:29, and of the judgment of God, from which there is no appeal, Hbr 6:2, and of the fire, which is one of its instruments, Mat 18:8; 25:41; Jud 1:7, and which is elsewhere said to be 'unquenchable,' Mar 9:43. "The use of aionios here shows that the punishment referred to in 2Th 1:9, is not temporary, but final, and, accordingly, the phraseology shows that its purpose is not remedial but retributive.

Both verses above speak of Eternal Life this is speaking of where you will live when God determind's this eternal life.  Now the soul of man will never die and I believe we should consider greatly the out come of being obedient or disobedient.  The word says eternal life from punishment and if we obey this word we should not perish.      Rev 20:10 ASV - And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where are also the beast and the false prophet; and they shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
Rev 20:14 ASV - And death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death, [even] the lake of fire.
Rev 20:15 ASV - And if any was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.    Now this is the out come of disobedience to Gods word ,   God said this is my beloved son hear him.       2Cr 5:10 ASV - For we must all be made manifest before the judgment-seat of Christ; that each one may receive the things [done] in the body, according to what he hath done, whether [it be] good or bad.      God is a God of Love that is why he sent his only son that if you would believe and obey you will have eternal life in his kingdom.       Rom 2:5 ASV - but after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up for thyself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;
Rom 2:6 ASV - who will render to every man according to his works:
Rom 2:7 ASV - to them that by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and incorruption, eternal life:      Please understand this is scripture also it is the whole word of God we obey. 
Jesus went to his cross for you and I it is only fitting we do the same it is the will of God you take the same course of Christ and repent with a Godly fear and live.   The works of men will burn in the end wood , hay,and stubble .       1Cr 3:10 ASV - According to the grace of God which was given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder I laid a foundation; and another buildeth thereon. But let each man take heed how he buildeth thereon.
1Cr 3:11 ASV - For other foundation can no man lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
1Cr 3:12 ASV - But if any man buildeth on the foundation gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, stubble;
1Cr 3:13 ASV - each man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself shall prove each man's work of what sort it is.  Revealed in the Greek     to uncover, lay open what has been veiled or covered up
a) disclose, make bare
2) to make known, make manifest, disclose what before was unknown.

Repentance is what this is about to change ones mind ,   to turn from sin and obey this word of grace and mercy.    In the basic elements of this world natural living there is Laws of man that dictate to mans behavior.   The law is made to bring a normal peaceful life for all man kind ,   Rom 13 tells this and man today has a form of this law in place.   Law breakers pay the penalty for not obeying the Law.  Its mans nature to be rebellious the carnal man is disobedient in every way.      Rom 8:3 ASV - For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
Rom 8:7 ASV - because the mind of the flesh is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can it be:   So we can see here the mind of the flesh is a rebel and is not subject to any Law but its own.
Rom 7:25 ASV - I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then I of myself with the mind, indeed, serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
1Cr 2:16 ASV - For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he should instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

Your flesh is an instrument of sin through satans tempting and deception.  The only way he can get to us is through our flesh.  Jhn 3:6 ASV - That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.   Jesus came to set us free from this and it says        Rom 8:13 ASV - for if ye live after the flesh, ye must die; but if by the Spirit ye put to death the deeds of the body, ye shall live.     If we walk in the spirit of Christ in obedience to his word we will not carry out the deeds of our flesh.   Rom 6:6 ASV - knowing this, that our old man was crucified with [him], that the body of sin might be done away, that so we should no longer be in bondage to sin;

Rom 11:32 ASV - For God hath shut up all unto disobedience, that he might have mercy upon all.
The question here is that are you filled with the Spirit have you ask the Lord to fill you with his Holy Ghost . Contrary to mans teaching and another Gospel , the Holy Ghost is for all man kind until all things be fulfilled . And the perfect comes which is Christ in you the hope of glory.  The word says to repent and be baptised and you shall receive the Holy Ghost. Now my question to you is has the same spirit that fill the one hundred and twenty on the day of Pentecost, Has that same spirit with signs and wonders manifest in you who believe.   There is no formula to follow,   its your heart it says to repent  to change ones mind.  There is a Holy Ghost given to those that ask with a repentant heart. God gave this promise to you and I.   Christ not only died for your sins he also came back to empower you to walk in that righteousness ,        Jhn 16:13 ASV - Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he shall guide you into all the truth: for he shall not speak from himself; but what things soever he shall hear, [these] shall he speak: and he shall declare unto you the things that are to come.      Jhn 16:7 ASV - Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is expedient for you that I go away; for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I go, I will send him unto you.   Seek the Lord and ask he will revel this truth to you,        Act 2:38 ASV - And Peter [said] unto them, Repent ye, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ unto the remission of your sins; and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Act 2:39 ASV - For to you is the promise, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, [even] as many as the Lord our God shall call unto him.      Baptised in the NAME  in    (II) for all that a "name" implies, of authority, character, rank, majesty, power, excellence, etc., of everything that the "name" covers:

(a) of the "Name" of God as expressing His attributes, etc., e.g., Mat 6:9; Luk 1:49; Jhn 12:28; 17:6, 26; Rom 15:9; 1Ti 6:1; Hbr 13:15; Rev 13:6;

(b) of the "Name" of Christ, e.g., Mat 10:22; 19:29; Jhn 1:12; 2:23; 3:18; Act 26:9; Rom 1:5; Jam 2:7; 1Jo 3:23; 3Jo 1:7; Rev 2:13; 3:8; also the phrases rendered "in the name;" these may be analyzed as follows:

(1) representing the authority of Christ, e.g., Mat 18:5 (with epi, "on the ground of My authority"); so Mat 24:5 (falsely) and parallel passages; as substantiated by the Father, Jhn 14:26; 16:23 (last clause), RV;

(2) in the power of

Its not just speaking the name of Jesus its having him in you,  and the power to over come in this world.  And these signs shall follow those who believe through Jesus Christ we have the power to bind and to loose the power to command  and it happens.  They shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover, Faith is the substance of things hoped for things unseen.  Jesus said greater things will you do than have done.   Speaking those things that are not as though they were , we do not live by sight.  Faith is accounted to us as righteousness and without this faith it is impossible to please God.    And this faith will save you in the end !        Rev 12:11 ASV - And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of their testimony; and they loved not their life even unto death.    A time is coming my friend when hell its self will be loosed upon this earth , Jesus said the it will be worse than the days of Sodom and Gomorrah  .   Mat 24:38 ASV - For as in those days which were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark,     Mat 24:39 ASV - and they knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall be the coming of the Son of man.   

Greek: pisteuo
Belief, Believe, Believers:

"to believe," also "to be persuaded of," and hence, "to place confidence in, to trust," signifies, in this sense of the word, reliance upon, not mere credence. It is most frequent in the writings of the Apostle John, especially the Gospel. He does not use the noun (see below). For the Lord's first use of the verb, see Jhn 1:50. Of the writers of the Gospels, Matthew uses the verb ten times, Mark ten, Luke nine, John ninety-nine. In Act 5:14 the present participle of the verb is translated "believers."

Greek: apeitheo
Disobedience, Disobedient:

akin to A, No. 1, and B, "to refuse to be persuaded, to refuse belief, to be disobedient," is translated "disobedient," or by the verb "to be disobedient," in the RV of Act 14:2 (AV, "unbelieving"), and Act 19:9 (AV, "believed not"); it is absent from the most authentic mss. in Act 17:5; in Jhn 3:36 "obeyeth not," RV (AV, "believeth not"); in Rom 2:8 "obey not;" in Rom 10:21, "disobedient;" in Rom 11:30, 31, "were disobedient" (AV, "have not believed"); so in Rom 15:31; Hbr 3:18; 11:31; in 1Pe 2:8, "disobedient;" so in 1Pe 3:20; in 1Pe 3:1; 4:17, "obey not." In 1Pe 2:7 the best mss. have apisteo, "to disbelieve."

Mat 23:37 ASV - O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that killeth the prophets, and stoneth them that are sent unto her! how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

A small amout of light in a dark place dispels a vast amount darkness.      Jhn 3:19 ASV - And this is the judgment, that the light is come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil.
Psa 51:17 ASV - The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: A broken and contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
Psa 34:18 ASV - Jehovah is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart, And saveth such as are of a contrite spirit.
When Gods messengers speak of sin in the camp,  it brings up the darkness of men and they hate the light . The word says they hate righteousness to the point when men speak of sin it convicts them.    And than the evil spirit of that darkness wants to kill .  In Jesus day they killed men of God for it and they killed Jesus for it.  But the word of God can not be silenced it can not be destroyed men have tried.  The reason for this hatred is the devil knows the out come of his deception and he is enraged at any one that speaks it to him.  The word says he would not have killed Jesus if he had know the results of his resurrection life .  Sin is a word demons hate because it reminds them of there future.  The world today is that sin outward and inward , the days of Sodom are once again before us.   Why did God destroy Sodom and the five surrounding cities . He said he heard the cries       Gen 18:20 ASV - And Jehovah said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;    God said concerning Noah that he repented because he made man , there sin was so grievous it repulsed God.  And once again he destroyed man and every living thing it says upon the earth .    God is Love and he proved it with the life of Christ and his sacrifice on the cross.   If you give time and resolve to this word you will see that it is living and active.   Men and there flesh pot easy religion ,  the easy way the broad way will bring them to the same place.  The narrow gate is where we enter.  The reason God had them in this situation was to bring repentance and faith to there hearts no food no water we are stuck lets go back to Egypt.       The word says they did did not even know the flood was upon them until it was to late.  What is to late ,  it is denying the truth of Gods word and living in sin and believing you are OK.  The feel good preachers and the so called teachers of today will tell you all about the Love of God with a smile . But they never tell you of a coming judgement because that does not sell. And they are selling something and its not the gospel ,     Jesus said they killed the men God sent preaching repentance and turning from sin.  Jesus is love they say ,  yes he is and Jesus said to pick up your cross and follow him  .   The Love he brings is the promise of eternal life to those that believe.  And what is the message in the gospels the good news ?    its being set free from this world of sin and heart ache .  People want the Love of God and the world altogether     Rev 3:16 ASV - So because thou art lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spew thee out of my mouth.    Luk 16:13 ASV - No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.   For the LOVE of money is the ROOT of all evil.  IT is not money that is evil it is the LOVE of it . And we must see that this world is consumed with that  love of money.

 Greek: mamonas
Mammon:    a common Aramaic word for "riches," akin to a Hebrew word signifying "to be firm, steadfast" (whence "Amen"), hence, "that which is to be trusted;" Gesenius regards it as derived from a Heb. word signifying "treasure" (Gen 43:23); it is personified in Mat 6:24; Luk 16:9, 11, 13.

Luk 12:34 ASV - For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

Rom 10:10 ASV - for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
What is your Heart saying to your father that has called you , God sees you heart  if a hair falls from your head and God keeps count of your hair, than he also knows your heart nothing is hidden from him.  Jesus was a stone of stumbling , the rock God is building his church upon.   And the gates of hell will not prevail against his church.   Jesus was saying here I am building a church upon this truth and there will be warfare but you win because I over came hell and death I have the keys ! and those that are with me will be the called the chosen and the faithful .

Mat 10:31 ASV - Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
Luk 12:7 ASV - But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
Luk 12:32 ASV - Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

2Ti 1:7 ASV - For God gave us not a spirit of fearfulness; but of power and love and discipline.

Discipline   Greek: sophronismos
Discipline:          from sophron, lit., "saving the mind," from saos, "contracted to" sos, "safe" (cp. sozo, "to save"), phren, "the mind," primarily, "an admonishing or calling to soundness of mind, or to self-control," is used in 2Ti 1:7, AV, "a sound mind;" RV, "discipline." Cp. sophroneo ("to be of sound mind"), sophronizo ("to admonish"), sophronos ("soberly"), and sophron, "of sound mind."

Rom 12:2 ASV - And be not fashioned according to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, and ye may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
Renewing your mind it letting this word have its perfect work in you
   
Hbr 4:12 ASV - For the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and quick to discern the thoughts and intents of the heart.
