41 The Son of man will send forth his angels, and they will collect out from his kingdom all things that cause stumbling and persons who are doing lawlessness (Matthew 13).
31 When the Son of man arrives in his glory, and all the angels
with him, then he will sit down on his glorious throne.
32 And all the nations will be gathered before him [in
the kingdom of God with Jesus enthroned], and he will separate people one from
another, just as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats (Matthew 25)..
15 That is why they are before the throne of God; and they are rendering him sacred service day and night in his temple; and the one seated on the throne [meaning the kingdom has started] will spread his tent [skhnwsei - will put them up in his place] over them (Revelation 7).
So the entrance into God's physical paradise occurs after God sits down on his throne at the start of the kingdom.
Melchizedek who does not know the future, is in charge of the heavenly church of the 1AC, so the sons of Abraham must have shown faith before 2008Nisan14 to get into the covenant? No all the inhabited earth was entered into the 1AC on 2008Nisan14, if they were not already in it, since we must all take the sheep and goats test of Matthew25 and a test is a baptism.
20 Furthermore, when you see Jerusalem
surrounded by encamped armies [who cannot
initially be that hostile or a flight would be impossible - so probably UN
peacekeepers or the likes], then know that the desolating of her has
drawn near.
21 Then let those in Judea begin fleeing to
the mountains, and let those in the midst of her withdraw, and let those in the
country places not enter into her;
22 because these are days for meting out
justice, that all the things written may be fulfilled.
23 Woe to the pregnant women and the ones
suckling a baby in those days! For there will be great necessity upon the land
and wrath on this people [literally great
necessity on Israel and wrath on the Israelis] [Symbolically
great necessity on the congregation of the LWs and wrath upon them].
24 and they will fall by the edge of the
sword and be led captive into all the nations; and Jerusalem will be trampled on
by the nations, until the appointed times of the nations are fulfilled.
25 Also, there will be signs in sun and moon
and stars, and on the earth anguish of nations, not knowing the way out because
of the roaring of the sea [the roaring of the
general public who are no part of government] and [its] agitation,
26 while men become faint out of fear and
expectation of the things coming upon the inhabited earth [nuclear
terroism, plague, economic collapse, global warming etc. this being the Great
Tribulation]; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
27 And then they will see the Son of man
coming in a cloud with power and great glory [after
the Great Tribulation has begun].
28 But as these things start to occur, raise
yourselves erect and lift your heads up, because your deliverance is getting
near.
29 With that he spoke an illustration to
them: Note the fig tree and all the other trees:
30 When they are already in the bud [buds
are signs of the times, signs of the harvest to come], by observing
it you know for yourselves that now the summer [the
harvest season] is near.
31 In this way you also, when you see these
things occurring [all the signs of the times],
know that the kingdom of God [the harvest of
God's people] is near.
32 Truly I say to you, This generation [who
fought in WW1, who rose nation against nation - see verse 10] will by
no means pass away until all things occur [including
your deliverance].
33 Heaven [Satan's
heavenly administration] and earth [Satan's earthly administration]
will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away.
34 But pay attention to yourselves that your
hearts never become weighed down with overeating and heavy drinking and
anxieties of life, and suddenly that day [the
day between the passing away of the heaven and the passing away of the earth,
which is the day of the time of the end] be instantly upon you [because
it does not come with any observability - Luke 17:20 - The kingdom of God is
not coming observably]
35 as a snare [Snares
are not seen in advance]. For it will come in upon all those dwelling
upon the face of all the earth [All of us, the
good and the wicked alike will outsurvive both Satan's heavenly administration
and his earthly administration. We will all enter into the Kingdom of God in
Satan's tent, but we will not all enter into the kingdom of God in Jehovah's
tent which is our deliverance].
36 Keep awake, then, all the time making
supplication that you may succeed in escaping all these things that are destined
to occur, and in standing before the Son of man (Luke 21).
16 for I tell you, I will not eat it again until it becomes completed [plhrwqh] [when the last 6,000 1NC reserves come in on 2010Heshvan14, 2010Chislev14 and 2010Tebbeth14] in the kingdom of God (Luke 22).
Q: Where is the evidence that we are in the kingdom of God?
A1: As of 2009November1 we cannot see any physical evidence other than the age of
those who rose up in WW1
A2: On 2010Sivan24, we predicted that God would rock the Watchtower from Haggai2 which is fulfilled in the 2nd year of Darius, which is the second year of the Kingdom (Tishri to Tishri). Ted Jaracz suffered a terminal stroke on that day which rocked the Watchtower since he was the one acting as a restraint that had to be taken out of the way so that the man of lawlessness could be revealed in that Church. So Ted Jaracz's death proved we were in the second Tishri to Tishri year of the Kingdom of God.
However Daniel 12 tells us that the time of distress is within the time of the end. Therefore the Great Tribulation, which must by its definition be within the time of distress is within the time of the end which is in the kingdom of God. One has to accept that the time of the end is the time between the judicial end and the actual end of the world of course. So the first big evidence that we are in the kingdom of God is the start of the Great Tribulation. Haggai 2 shows that the GT starts on Tishri21 in the second Nisan1 year of the kingdom.
The 42 months of authority given to the beast is entirely within the Kingdom of God, so the time of the end is at least 42 months long!
5
And a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies was given it, and authority to
act 42 months was given it [in this
blasphemy, to create a 'New' World Order as a counterfeit to the Kingdom of God] [Word1: 2009Nisan
the G20 meeting in London, which started on 2009Nisan6, to 2012Tishri10. God
gives the beast authority to act and to conquer the holy ones and authority over
every tribe and people and tongue and nation. Satan cannot just do it because he
is in the Kingdom of God from 2008Nisan17 onwards. This is the whole point. The
scripture says that authority was given this beast (by God - since only God can
give authority to conquer the holy ones) because the entire period is in the
Kingdom of God. This verse proves that the time of the end is at least 42 months
long!].
6
And it opened its mouth in blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name
and
the tabernacle of him, [meaning] the [ones] tabernacling in heaven.
7
And there was granted it to wage [physical]
war with the holy ones and conquer them, and
authority was given it over every tribe and people and tongue and nation.
How do we leave a temporal wilderness? We get good chronology. We unseal the bible chronologically. The Jews followed a cloud about a tent going around in circles in a geographical wilderness into a geographical promised land. The LWs follow a mushroom cloud over a temple round in temporal circles into a temporal promised land - when we actually get the correct chronology of the bible and in particular the first fire sign.
On 2008Nisan17 the Holy Spirit of God, his wife, stopped ministering to mankind. A new King (Jesus) and a new Holy Spirit (his wife, the 1NC kings) took over. This was the first day of the Kingdom of God. It was actually the first day of the New Heavens of Isaiah 65...
17 For here I am creating new heavens and
a new earth; and the former things will not be called to mind, neither will they
come up into the heart.
18 But exult, you people, and be joyful
forever in what I am creating. For here I am creating Jerusalem a cause for
joyfulness and her people a cause for exultation (Isaiah 65).
Half of the new Kings have had nearly 2,000 years of experience in Watching mankind and presumably have been trained fully by Jehovah's Holy Spirit during that period. But the other half, the second presence 1NC kings are total rookies by comparison. So they would certainly need a period of acclimatization. In the US this period is called the transition period. Bush and Obama were both part of a transition administration of the US between November 2008 and January 2009. Likewise in the heavens, there must have been a 2 years transition period during which Jesus and his Holy Spirit had authority over man but they were involved in a complex handover of power from Jehovah and his Holy Spirit. Satan's authority officially evaporated on 2008Nisan14. But he was not in a great hurry to relinquish it, and God is giving him a period of extra time, called the time of the end, between the end of his authority judicially, and the end of his authority physically in order to give us all a final test by Satan under God's authority. This test is the love assessment of the sheep and the goats in Matthewe25. The bible normally teaches and tests for 3½ years which would take us to 2011Tishri. We know that Jesus comes down to us on 2011Tebbeth2, 1335 days after 2008Nisan17. But if the Great Tribulation lasted that long then all mankind would have been killed. We know that its days were cut short. We think they were cut short from the near end by 2½ years more or less, which period is the invisible part of the kingdom. So every day that the kingdom remains invisible (and the LWs fail to get the first fire sing date correct) is a blessing for mankind as it saves us from one more day of Great Tribulation!
23 Then he went around throughout the whole of Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the good news of the kingdom and curing every sort of disease and every sort of infirmity among the people (Matthew 4).
35 And Jesus set out on a tour of all the
cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the good news of
the kingdom and curing every sort of disease and every sort of infirmity
(Matthew 9).
14 And this good news of the kingdom will be
preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then
the end will come (Matthew 24).
43 But he said to them: Also to other cities I must declare the good news of the kingdom of God, because for this I was sent forth (Luke 4).
1 Shortly afterwards he went journeying from city to city and from village to village, preaching and declaring the good news of the kingdom of God. And the 12 were with him (Luke 8).
12 But when they believed Philip, who was declaring the good news of the kingdom of God and of the name of Jesus Christ, they proceeded to be baptized, both men and women (Acts 8).
Above are the 6 scriptures which contain the phrase "Good news of the kingdom". It is an ambiguous phrase. It could mean the good news that there will be a kingdom of God. Indeed that is what it meant in the literal meaning of the Gospels. But it could also mean the good news that the kingdom of God has arrived, i.e. the good news that you are actually in the kingdom of God. This is its meaning for the the present time. In other words the big preaching work begins in the kingdom, after 2008Nisan17.
31 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my
words will not pass away.
32 Concerning that day or the hour nobody has
seen, neither the angels in heaven nor the Son, but the Father.
33 Keep looking [for
the hour of the passing away of the heaven and for the hour of the passing away
of the earth], keep awake, for you do not know when the appointed
time is.
34 It is like a man travelling abroad that
left his house and gave the authority to his slaves, to each one his work, and
commanded the doorkeeper to keep on the watch [So
the church which keeps watching and finally predicts this date correctly is or
has the doorkeeper].
35 Therefore keep on the watch, for you do
not know when the master of the house is coming, whether late in the day or at
midnight or at cockcrowing or early in the morning [that
the first fire sign occurs early in the morning in fact of Tuesday October 12th
2010, because the rising mushroom cloud will not be very visible at the other 3
times, 1012 will be a clone of 911 occurring early on a Tuesday morning];
36 in order that when he arrives suddenly, he
does not find you sleeping.
37 But what I say to you I say to all, Keep
on the watch (Matthew 24).
2 And by the 7th day God came to the completion of his work that he had made, and he proceeded to rest on/in/at the 7th day from all his work that he had made (Genesis 2)
28 But if it is by means of God's spirit
that I expel the demons, the kingdom of God has really overtaken you.
29 Or how can anyone invade the house of a
strong man and seize his movable goods, unless first he binds the strong man?
And then he will plunder his house (Matthew 12).
So first God binds Satan by taking heavenly authority over this system on
2008Nisan17. Then is invades his house under the cover of the Great Tribulation.
This is when the LWs start to grow by seizing the moveable goods, those people
prepared to leave Satan's house for God's house.
