Kingdom Age

No where in scripture it says the Kingdom is one age... That is a Western way of thinking...

it says the Kingdom shall not end...

"and the Lord shall free me from every evil work, and shall save [me] -- to his heavenly kingdom; to whom [is] the glory to the ages of the ages! Amen." [2 Tim 4:18]

The Kingdom will last many ages and will not end...

To the Hebraic mind its many ages that will not end.

We are just now getting started from a time perspective...

 Simple bible theology 101

"“Ages of ages” could be seen as constituting a collection of these various periods. For example, if God has designated various ages for his plan for earth, then “ages of ages” could be used to describe a period of time reaching over the entire time or even beyond."

Issue of the Soul and Resurrection

Simply put, A soul is a living being. A soul is always a combination of two things: body plus breath/ spirit. A soul does not begin to exist unless body and breath are combined. God's Word teaches that we are souls. The Biblical definition of a soul is simply a living breathing body. So DUST + THE BREATH OF LIFE = A LIVING SOUL. Actually no where it says we were given a soul. A soul is not something a person has per se, it is the essence of person. It is the person. We are not immortal apart from Christ. Before resurrection The bible says at death the breath of life goes back to God and the body returns to the earth by decomposing back into the "dust" it was made of. So the soul "disappears" (I don't mean extinct or annihilated)... it goes to the Unseen. The reason why I don't use extinct or annihilated is because God knows how to bring it back, or redeem it from the "unseen". Lev 17:11 "The life [nephesh/ soul] of a body is ...

In Like Manner? Will Christ Come in the Exact Same Way

"Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight...... This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.”" Let's discuss "in Like Manner" and see its usage in Scripture: Example 1: "I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. 6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. 7Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire." [Jude 1:5-7] Question: - what was the like manner that connecting Israel,...

Day 66, March 7 Bible Reading

  Day 66,  March 7 1445-1407 BC Num. 16-17   Korah’s rebellion / The fruit of Aaron’s staff Num. 18:1-7  New responsibilities for priests and Levites Num. 20:1-13        Miriam’s death / The waters of Meribah: Moses and Aaron sin Num. 20:14-29      Edom refuses passage / Aaron’s death on Mount Hor Num. 16-17   Korah’s rebellion / The fruit of Aaron’s staff Num 16:1-3  Moses had another rebellion on his hands.  This time it was not from Miriam nor Aaron but from 250 leaders, who he previously selected from the Levites to adjudicate lower court cases, along with ring leaders, Korah, Dathan and Abiram.  Their case? All the congregation is holy.  Why do you Moses and Aaron assume they are above everyone else? You view yourselves too highly. Num 16:4-11 What was Moses’ reaction? He fell on his face.  This is an example of Moses’ meekness.  He did not rail or fight or defend himself.  Are we dev...
