The Daily Word of Righteousness
Paradise and the Kingdom of God, continued
To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God: (Acts 1:3)
First the nobility, then the rest of the country. Make sense? If God did it the other way around it would be messy.
We presently are trying to survive in a moral cesspool. Country people will understand about cesspools. We are drowning in filth in the United States. A recent cartoon had George Washington saying something like, "Why are they observing my birthday when character doesn't count any more?" I don't even want to repeat the things discussed in the newspaper. The same is true of England from what I hear. Both were godly countries at one time.
God knows what He is doing. Out from the cesspool will be drawn shining jewels saints who will serve God under any condition.
These are the Kingdom of God.
When the Lord Jesus returns from Heaven He will bring His jewels with Him. They will govern the works of God's hands forever.
The reason there will be no sin in the Kingdom Age to come is not that the possibility of sin will suddenly disappear, it is that God's righteous kings will have the authority and power to prevent sin from taking place.
You either will rule or be ruled in the world to come. There will be no more unwalled Edens.
Will there be sin in the Kingdom of God? No. Sin is not present in the Kingdom. Sin was present in Paradise but will not be present in the Kingdom because the Kingdom is God in Christ governing from within our personality.
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. (Galatians 5:19-21)
We read this and think, "If we do such things we will not go to Heaven." Or, "If we do such things we will not be saved."
Paul did not preach about going to Heaven. Paul preached about our being ready for the Day of the Lord, for the coming of the Kingdom of God to the earth.
There is no adultery, strife, or drunkenness in the Kingdom of God. The voice of Satan is heard in Heaven to the present day, accusing the saints. But when the Kingdom is formed sufficiently in the saints they will speak the word of judgment and Michael and his angels will drive Satan from Heaven.
But don't the prostitutes enter the Kingdom before the chief priests and the elders? Yes, they do, but they do not enter as prostitutes. The prostitutes enter the Kingdom by humbling themselves and turning from their wicked ways. This the chief priests and the elders will not do.
To be continued.
