3 FEW ENTER GOD S KINGDOM EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Christ is clear about the truth that many are called; but few enter the gate. Few come to the spiritual feast now prepared for those who enter Christ s spiritual kingdom of heaven continuously, while they still operate on earth in physical bodies. Examples of how few people actually enter Christ s kingdom in this way are many in the scriptures. Christ, the Truth, is usually rejected, even by Christian religious leaders in their congregational meetings. Many are those who sensed that they are called by Christ, and thus goes permanently into in becoming a pastor or minister. That is not what Christ s call is all about. Christ calls many. It is not special if Christ calls you. And Christ calls you to not only see His spiritual kingdom when you become born again, but also to enter, to explore, to inhabit and possess Christ s spiritual kingdom of heaven. The problem with those who become religious leaders is that they were never taught how to sense Christ s voice and how to enter into God s spiritual kingdom. Thus, their flesh do not die. This implies that they never overcome the 3 main enemies of God, namely man s flesh, Satan who operates in the fleshly, earthly domain of a person, and the Second Death. Thus all of the church members they teach also never overcome these enemies as well. It is therefore no wonder that extremely few people actually enter and possess Christ s spiritual kingdom of heaven while they still operating in physical bodies here on earth.

4 2 1. EXAMPLES OF THE FEW ENTERING GOD S KINGDOM This chapter briefly focuses on Old Testament examples of the few people who actually entered the kingdom of God. INTRODUCTION God has in regular intervals in time recorded the truth, the reality, that only a very few people in a specific point in time actually enters God s spiritual kingdom of heaven. ONLY 8 PERSONS IN THE DAYS OF THE FLOOD WERE LIFTED UP The ark which Noah built is an image of God s spiritual kingdom. Within that ark there was safety, just as in God s spiritual kingdom of heaven there is safety. In the days before the flood, only Noah and his immediate surroundings, his family, all in all totaling 8 persons, were saved, because Noah pursuit entering God s spiritual kingdom of heaven. It was only Noah who God said was righteous in His sight, because it is stated: "Come into the ark, you and all your household, because I have seen that you are righteous before Me in this generation (Gen 7:1). To be righteous before Me is to first sense from Christ, the Word of God, in heaven what to say and do before acting out anything through man s body in obedience. Noah had no Bible, but he could sense Christ s voice. This particular characteristic resulted in God saving all of the people in Noah s immediate surroundings as well, as it is stated: "But I will establish My covenant with you; and you shall go into the ark; you, your sons, your wife, and your sons' wives with you (Gen 6:18). Seven times the word you are used referring to Noah. The saving of the other 7 is the result of Noah s righteousness. Now the animals who went with Noah in the ark also represent people. They are also images of people just as mankind has been made as an image of God. These people are those who still operate in the flesh, just as beasts of the earth, with suppressed spirits and ruling flesh, that is, ruling souls and ruling bodies. They are those people operating in the flesh, who cannot hear God s voice, but they were sympathetic and merciful towards God s own elect who can indeed hear God s voice and who obeys God s voice, and thus act as images of God. They are those whom Christ revealed in His teachings as follows: "For whoever gives you a cup of water to drink in My name, because you belong to Christ, assuredly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward (Mark 9:41). Christ also said: "All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left (Matt 25:32, 33). This happens in the spiritual realm, which is not restricted to time and space, directions, mass and gravity and temperature. Those who are sheep are those fleshly people (represented by the nations ) who are sympathetic to Christ s own, namely those who are led by Christ and the Holy Spirit, the true sons of God. Placing them on His right hand is an image to empower them and lift them up.

5 3 "Then the King will say to those on His right hand, 'Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 'for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.' "Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? 'When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? 'Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?' "And the King will answer and say to them, 'Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.' (Matt 25:34-40). This I was in prison, and you came to Me (Matt 25 :36) refers to how fleshly people usually operate towards those who operate in the Spirit, by restricting them, as Christ has declared: "But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons. You will be brought before kings and rulers for My name's sake (Luk 21:12). This does not refer to visiting all fleshly prisoners in physical prisons, but spiritual imprisonment, not allowing the spirit in man to rule. The kings and rulers (Luk 21:12) spoken of here refers to those operating in the flesh, who are kings of their own castles. They who are rewarded well by God become righteous (Matt 25:37) in God s eyes, worthy to be empowered and lift up closer to God in heaven, even though they are fleshly, and do not know how God works when rewarding man. Yet, these saved animals in the ark compared to all of the animals at that stage on the earth, would be an extremely small number of animals as well. THE SMALL VOLUMES OF WATER IN THE CLOUDS OF THE SKY It has already been noted in previous volumes that the waters below refer to all people who operate in the flesh, that is, who are earthly. It is stated: "The (many) waters which you saw are peoples, multitudes, nations, and tongues (Rev 17:15). In contrast, those who are part of the waters that are above are the cloud of witnesses in heaven. They are those who are in spiritual heaven. They operate in the Spirit and are led by the Spirit and are thus able to sense the voice of Christ and of the Holy Spirit through their spirits inside of their bodies. Merely consider the volumes of the waters that are below, the seas on earth, compared to the waters that are above, the clouds in the sky. Then you get the proper perspective of how small the percentage is of waters that are below actually ascend into heaven, into the sky, to form the clouds, representing the clouds of witnesses. Only about 0,001% of the total Earth's volume of water is captured in heaven, in the sky in the form of water evaporation and cloud formation. This implies that only 1 out of every persons on the earth actually ascend into heaven. This comparison of what goes on in the physical realm, in the earthly realm, compared to what goes on in the spiritual realm, can be made, based on Christ s simple prayer: Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven (Matt 6:10). If all of the water in the atmosphere rained down at once, it would only cover the ground to a depth of 2.5 centimeters, about 1 inch. Thus, a true follower of Christ may be surrounded by numerous people who call themselves Christians, but those who really enter and possess Christ s spiritual kingdom of heaven is indeed very small.

6 4 TWO PERSONS IN 4000 YEARS ASCENDED INTO HEAVEN For example in the 4000 years before Christ came to walk in a physical body, only TWO persons ascended into heaven while operating in physical bodies, that is, without experiencing Death of their bodies going to the grave. These two persons were Enoch and Elijah. This does not imply that those who see their bodies go to the grave does not enter heaven, but it reveals how great the resistance is against the Truth, which is Christ, in all men who walk in physical bodies on this earth. ONLY 3 PERSONS SAVED IN THE DAYS OF LOT In the days of Lot, many years after the flood, only Lot and his 2 daughters were saved, while whole cities, Sodom, Gomorrah and other nearby places where people lived were destroyed. This incident is an image of how men has deteriorated, moved away from God again, after Noah and the descendants were saved in the flood. Even though all of the signs were on the earth of the former flood of Noah, people again operated more and more in the flesh, so that not even Lot s whole family could be saved from destruction. Abraham bargained with God in order to save Sodom and Gomorrah. Abraham started with not destroying these cities if God is able to find 50 righteous men. Abraham bargained with God until God only had to find 10 righteous men in the cities. Then he said, "Let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak but once more: Suppose ten should be found there?" And He said, "I will not destroy it for the sake of ten." (Gen 18:32). The focus here should not be on how wicked the people of Sodom and Gomorrah were, but on what God s criteria are of been righteous. The question is how many of the people within those cities were able to sense Christ s voice, just as Abraham was now able to sense God s voice and bargained with God. God could not find 10 people in these cities, and thus destroyed the cities. God did not destroy the righteous in these cities. God brought them out and there were only 4. God brought them out via angels. The end of a spiritual season has arrived, and Christ s words applied at that stage: "The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness (Matt 13:41) and "So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come forth, separate the wicked from among the just (Matt 13:49). The intensity of been delivered was immense. Angels could even been seen in the physical realm. Only 3 of the 4 survived, even during the process of deliverance, because Lot s wife, even within that great intensity of deliverance, longed back to what was, even allowing her body as the temple of God to turn around and look back at what was. Lot s wife rejected the Word of God, Christ, at that stage, who spoke through the angels, saying: Do not look behind you. (Gen 19:17). ONLY TWO ENTERED THE PROMISED LAND In the image in the physical realm of the Israelites who moved from Egypt to the Promised Land, from all the Israelites who left Egypt to travel to the Promised Land, only 2 persons actually entered the Promised Land and saw the Promised Land.

7 5 There were about 2 million people who left Egypt. This implies that 1 person out of a million persons actually entered the Promised Land, the land of Israel. According to Christ s prayer: Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven (Matt 6:10), it implies that during the days of Moses, only a very small number of people actually entered the spiritual kingdom of heaven for their perseverance in faith to pursue God and have faith in God. Obviously, there will be more people who operated in the flesh, like animals, who also entered God s spiritual kingdom of heaven. For example, Moses, who only once on the journey from Egypt to the Promised Land operated in the flesh, and who never entered the Promised Land, is indeed in spiritual heaven. We know this, because Christ spoke to Moses in spiritual heaven while on the Mount of Transfiguration. The image of Noah, who brought with him many animals, beasts of the earth, into the ark which lifted them above the waters that are from below, also applies to Moses and the Israelites moving into the Promised Land. These beasts of the earth, even among the Israelites who moved from Egypt to the Promised Land, refer to those who operated in the flesh, but by God s grace and mercy are allowed into God s spiritual kingdom of heaven as witnesses of what God has done. Yet, these saved animals compared to all of the animals at that stage on the earth, would be an extremely small number of animals as well, just as it was the case in the days of Noah and the flood. Christ has declared that He called the Israelites out of Egypt. It is stated: "I, the LORD, have called You in righteousness, And will hold Your hand; I will keep You and give You as a covenant to the people, as a light to the Gentiles (Isa 42:6). They were about 2 million who were called. They were called to inhabit and possess a new kingdom while their souls still operate in bodies of dust. Only 1 out of a million persons of those who were called actually entered this new kingdom. It is stated: " I spoke to you, rising up early and speaking, but you did not hear, and I called you, but you did not answer (Jer 7:13). For example, many are those Israelites who went through the Red Sea, who grumbled against Moses, representing Christ, and God the Father. They saw death in many ways in the desert, even the ground opening up and cover them in the depths of the earth. They never entered the Promised Land. They never came near the Promised Land.

8 6 2. CHRIST, THE TRUTH, USUALLY REJECTED This chapter briefly focuses on the reality that very few people, followers of Christ, discover and accept these truths that God s kingdom is inside of the body of the new creation man and that the new creation man is able to sense the interactions of God through his spirit inside of his body, thus entering Christ s spiritual kingdom of heaven, the Promised Land. FREE WILL CHOICE DETERMINES REJECTING OR EMBRACING TRUTH The Word, the Truth, is put on trial in man s soul, and the free will choices of man s soul determines the fate of the Truth. When Truth comes, the free will choice of man decides whether his soul is a disciple of Christ, or whether he will crucify the Truth, Christ, the Word of God. When Truth comes to a person, the reaction of a person s soul, whether he be a new creation man operating towards heaven, or a person who never repents, is either to embrace the Truth, or reject the Truth. In most cases, in 99,99% of cases, the Truth is rejected. If that was not the case, then multitudes of people would have already ascended into heaven while still operating in physical bodies on the earth, as has happened with Enoch, Elijah and Christ. If that was not the case, then the earth would already have been heavenised. There would be no wars any more. People would no longer operate in self-interest. The earth would already have been transformed into Paradise. The prophecy that there was no more sea (Rev 21:1) would already have been manifested into the physical realm as well. But now all of these things have not remotely taken place at all. Therefore, it remains true that in 99,99% of cases, the Truth is rejected, crucified. That is why Christ the Word, the Truth, came from heaven into the earthly realm, to testify of the Truth, that people usually tend to crucify the Truth. This happens whether you are a religious leader in a Christian denomination or not. When Truth comes, Truth is usually rejected. They are those who fall into the category of crucifying the Truth, Christ, the Word of God. Truth knows what is going to happen with it when Truth comes. That is why Christ signified on 2 occasions, in the beginning and in the end of His 3,5 year ministry that the temple of God, the mind of man s soul, the thoughts in man s soul, has to be clean, by cleaning the temple made of stone. Man s mind, even the old mind of the new creation person, the old man, is set on destruction. THE GRADUAL FALLING AWAY FROM THE TRUTH Numerous volumes have been written on the gradual falling away of man from God. From the first Adam, man has gradually moved from the healthy priority of God first, man s spirit second, soul third, body last, to the distorted priority order of the physical realm first, man s body second, soul third, man s spirit fourth, God last.

9 7 All of these gradual changes are only attributed to one phenomenon, namely, rejecting the Truth when Truth comes to a person, and where Christ is the Truth. The ruling soul of man usually, even instinctively, thinks he knows better than Christ.

10 8 3. THE SITUATION IN THE DAYS OF CHRIST ON EARTH This chapter briefly confirms that even under Christ s teachings of the kingdom of God which is at hand, that very few people who were still operating in physical bodies on the earth actually entered Christ s spiritual kingdom of heaven. CHRIST KNEW THAT SMALL NUMBERS ENTER HIS KINGDOM Christ, the Truth, knew already within His ministry that extremely small numbers of people will eventually enter and possess God s spiritual kingdom of heaven. The evidence is all over scripture people really don t seem to see the Truth right in front of their eyes. The first chapter in this volume has already highlighted those Old Testament examples available to Christ when Christ walked the earth in a physical body. THE SITUATION IN THE DAYS OF CHRIST Christ s ministry focused mainly (but not exclusively) on bringing the good news of the kingdom of God to the Jews, the descendants of Abraham. There were overall 7 million Jews in the days of Christ walking the earth in a physical body. They were scattered among many nations as well. Those who are committed, conscientious, faithful, dedicated and zealous for God lived in Jerusalem. The estimated population of Jerusalem in the days of Christ walking the earth in a physical body was people. The number of Jews in Jerusalem during important feast days swelled to These included dedicated Jews not living in the earthly Jerusalem but travelling faithfully to the earthly Jerusalem for the festivals. They were committed to their Jewish religion. Christ preached the Truth, the Word, in many cities and towns all over the Promised Land. On two occasions the Word, Christ, came and provided nourishment through a revelation Word of God where 7000 men and 4000 men (excluding the women and children) were fed with bread and fish. These people could see how the kingdom of God, which was situated in Christ s body, operated outwards into the physical realm. These people were called on these occasions to enter and possess the kingdom, just as Christ does. Yet, people thought of what the Word can do for them in their earthly journey providing physical food for free. Christ healed many many people, drove out demons and raised the dead. It is stated: Then great multitudes came to Him, having with them the lame, blind, mute, maimed, and many others; and they laid them down at Jesus' feet, and He healed them (Matt 15:30). These were all calls from Christ to enter His kingdom, because He was showing how He was operating from His kingdom, and that would also be the inheritance of followers of Christ. The people confirmed the truth that Christ did many mighty works: And many of the people believed in Him, and said, "When the Christ comes, will He do more signs than these which this Man has done?" (John 7:31).

11 9 When Christ was raised from the grave, more than 500 people saw the risen Christ. Christ appeared to the all, as it is stated: and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures, and that He was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve. After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain to the present, but some have fallen asleep. After that He was seen by James, then by all the apostles (1 Cor 15:4-7). This implies Christ revealed Himself to over 500 people on one occasion. There were most probably more than one occasion in a day, as can be seen by the Emmaus travellers whom Christ revealed Himself as well as to His disciples that same night all in one day. And there were 40 days during which Christ revealed Himself, from the time He was resurrected from the grave, up to Christ ascending permanently into heaven (Acts 1:3). It can therefore be concluded that Christ came to more than a thousand people during the 40-day period, and revealed Himself to those people. And these people were not all in the earthly Jerusalem anymore, because people would have travelled back to their homes after Passover feast when Christ was crucified. Of all the people whom Christ called towards His kingdom, at the end of Christ s 3,5 year ministry on earth, only about 120 waited the 7 days before the Day of Pentecost, which occurred 50 days after the cross, for the baptism of the Holy Spirit on, to be empowered to enter the Word s spiritual kingdom. It is stated: altogether the number of names was about a hundred and twenty (Acts 1:15). This implies that roughly 10% of the more than 1000 people to whom Christ revealed Himself as alive after He was resurrected from the grave, found the Way. This also implies that less than 0,05% of the Jews within the earthly Jerusalem at the time of the Passover Feast in Jerusalem when Christ was crucified found The Way. As already indicated, there were overall 7 million Jews in the days of Christ scattered all over countries and nations, of which only 120 waited in Jerusalem to enter and possess Christ s spiritual kingdom. This is about 1,7 Jews finding The Way and the Truth out of every Jews. The ratio of 1 out of every Jews is confirmed by the statistics noted in Chapter 1 of this volume that 1 out of every of the total earth's volume of water is captured in heaven, in the sky in the form of water evaporation and cloud formation. Only 120 people wanted to listen to the Truth, and wanted to be where Christ is, as Christ has declared: "In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also (John 14:2, 3). Christ prepared that place on the cross. WHY THE PEOPLE CROWDED AROUND CHRIST Why did the people crowded around Christ where-ever He went? The truth is that they did not follow Him because they understood His gospel of the kingdom of God that is near and were eager to possess this kingdom He was speaking about. No, it was not that. We now know the truth that only 120 persons eventually waited for 7 days for the Day of Pentecost to arrive when they would be empowered by the Holy Spirit when the Holy Spirit would be poured out.

12 10 The people crowded around Christ because of heaven translated through Christ, healing the sick. Those in the crowd wanted something from Christ. The SELF ruled. The flesh ruled. The word crowd and Jews refer to those who operate in the flesh, the waters that are below. On a few occasions it became evident that the people wanted something from Christ other than entering the kingdom of God. It is stated: Jesus answered them and said, "Most assuredly, I say to you, you seek Me, not because you saw the signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled (John 6:26). Another incident described the thoughts of a woman in the crowd: And suddenly, a woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years came from behind and touched the hem of His garment. For she said to herself, "If only I may touch His garment, I shall be made well." (Matt 9:20, 21). Do not think that the crowds around Christ were the people seeking the Truth, while the religious leaders who did not crowd around Christ to listen to Christ were not seeking the Truth. It was not as simple as that. That is a lie from Satan. You have to ask yourself what does Satan gains by boosting this lie. Satan boosts the flesh in Christian religious people that when they go to church services, they have just as positive an attitude to crowd around Christ as those who crowded around Christ in the days when He walked the earth in a physical body. There is nothing positive about the crowd around Christ. Few out of those crowds actually entered heaven after Christ died on the cross. WHY CHRIST DID NOT BEFRIEND THE RELIGIOUS LEADERS One of the main reasons why Christ did not continuously befriend the religious leaders in His day was because they did not enter and possess God s kingdom of heaven. Christ declared of them: "Woe to you lawyers! For you have taken away the key of knowledge. You did not enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in you hindered" (Luk 11:52). The core issue here is that of entering the spiritual kingdom. Christ entered and continuously possessed God s kingdom; the religious leaders did not. Christ was moving from glory to glory closer to God the Father. The religious leaders who were operating in the flesh were moving incrementally further and further away from God. They would never be able to be friends. This is true even today within Christian religion. Christ seeking those who are indeed lost, who honestly feels lost and are truthful about themselves. These are closer to God, to Christ, the Truth, than those who consider themselves righteous because they diligently go to each church service, as though they are under a law. Christ s friends became the harlots, the prostitutes, and people who are rejected by society. These are the people as Christ has said who enter the kingdom before the religious leaders.

13 11 That still remains the strategy of Christ, the Truth, today, from within the spiritual realm. Christ kept Himself separated from meetings of the religious leaders, unless He is invited to speak but then the people in the synagogue wanted to throw Him off a cliff, trying to kill Christ. That still remains today the fate of the Truth, when the Truth of Christ s spiritual kingdom of heaven inside of man s body, which can be possessed now, should be preached from the pulpits in Christian religion. The preacher will experience a hard time, even thrown out of the church structure.

14 12 4. THE TRUTH REJECTED AT RELIGIOUS MEETINGS This chapter briefly focuses on Christ, the Truth, been rejected at religious meetings, so that only a few actually accept the Truth operating, and thus enter God s spiritual kingdom of heaven. CHRIST, THE TRUTH, REJECTED AT RELIGIOUS MEETINGS People who attend religious meetings regularly are usually those who are committed and dedicated to God. They try to mean business with God. The gross of the other people who usually do not attend religious meetings regularly in general do not mean any business with God. (This is a generalisation, and not always true. There are small exceptions of the rule). However, if all those in such religious meetings reject Christ, who is God, then very few of religious people will ever enter heaven. Christ attended a gathering in a synagogue. This gathering of people is similar to Christians in Christian religion going to a church service of their church denomination. Christ was given the opportunity to speak. And He brought the Truth to them. The people did not like what they were hearing. They rejected the Truth. The people became angry, even to the point of wanting to kill Christ. Satan and his fallen angels were actively working in their minds, in their flesh, because the fleshly, the earthly, is the domain given to Satan to have authority in. ELIJAH AND ELISHA WERE SENT TO FEW PEOPLE Christ told the people in the synagogue: "But I tell you truly (because He is the Truth), many widows were in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, and there was a great famine throughout all the land; but to none of them was Elijah sent except to Zarephath, in the region of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow (Luk 4:25, 26). Christ also noted another example: "And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, and none of them was cleansed except Naaman the Syrian" (Luk 4:27). Now the reactions of religious people, whether they are Jewish or Christians, on this issue will always remain the same. The pride in their religion, their steadfast belief systems, their commitment and dedication and conscientiousness in THEIR service for God, what THEY do for God, will take over, and reject what Truth has to say, the analyses that Truth makes. The flesh in them, one of the greatest enemies of God, will rise up against the Truth and crucify the Truth. So all those in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath, and rose up and thrust Him out of the city; and they led Him to the brow of the hill on which their city was built, that they might throw Him down over the cliff (Luk 4:28, 29).

15 13 They believed that only the Messiah could fulfil the words which Christ brought in the synagogue, and which Christ said is now fulfilled in their hearing the prophecy. Yet, they did not expect that Christ Himself is indeed the Messiah. There are a billion different degrees and intensities of crucifying the Truth, Christ. THIS STILL HAPPENS TODAY IN CHRISTIAN RELIGION This happens even today in Christian religion, at their congregational meetings, even amongst spiritual leaders in charismatic churches. The kingdom of God is not even preached, which was the main message of Christ and His disciples. They still wait for Christ to come a second time in the flesh to establish God s kingdom on earth. Their minds are already firmly established on the lie of Satan. This lie will be elaborated in much detail in subsequent sections of volumes. They do not even recognize when the Truth has a visitation with them. They continue with their fleshly lives, where they still wait for the future rapture of all Christians from the earth to take place, where they dread the 3,5 years, or 7 years, when Satan will rule the earth to a future Anti-Christ all lies from Satan. The Truth still speaks today within Christianity, in how they treat the Truth, Christ: "But this happened that the word might be fulfilled which is written in their law, 'They hated Me without a cause' (John 15:25). These words of Christ are spiritual words. They are eternally true. They are not restricted by time and space. CHRIST NOTING THE BLINDNESS OF THE PEOPLE IN THE CROWDS Christian religious leaders and Christian church members do not wish to associate themselves with the Jewish religious leaders at the time of Christ walking the earth in a physical body. They wish to ignore that they are also as much operating in silos, as a faction, a splinter group, just as the Pharisees and Sadducees. Christian religious leaders and Christian church members prefer to associate themselves more with those who followed Christ in the days of Christ walking the earth in a physical body. They wish to associate themselves with those in the crowds surrounding Christ. However, when Christ spoke to the crowd, the gathering of people all around Him, who followed Him and not the Jewish religious leaders of Christ s time on earth, Christ knew that those in the crowd were mostly blind as well. Christ declared: "Therefore I speak to them (the crowd) in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand (Matt 13:13). "And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says: 'Hearing you will hear and shall not understand, and seeing you will see and not perceive (Matt 13:14). For the hearts of this people have grown dull. Their ears are hard of hearing, and their eyes they have closed, lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, so that I should heal them.' (Matt 13:15). Christ is actually saying that those in the crowds following Him are mostly fleshly, earthly, as well.

16 14 Those in the crowd are only there for what they can get out of Christ: a healing, a driving out of a demon, a sensational story to tell to others in order to be the centre of attention, etc. Thus, even at these meetings, these gatherings of crowds surrounding Christ, Christ conveyed the message clearly that they do not understood Christ s main message of the kingdom of God is at hand, even though they saw mighty works of God flowing from Christ as a manifestation of God s kingdom operating through Christ into the physical realm. And since they did not grasp the realities of God s kingdom, the kingdom of heaven, they never entered into heaven at any stage: not then, and not even when their physical bodies eventually went to the grave.

17 15 5. THE WORD REJECTED IN HIS PRESENCE This chapter focuses on the image of Judas Iscariot, operating in the flesh in the Presence of Christ, and how his actions against the Truth is still done by millions of Christians. THE TRUTH IN THE MIDST OF HIS DISCIPLES Let us go now to the time of Christ, the Word, the Truth, walking in the midst of His disciples on earth. It is an image of Christ, the Word, the Truth, and those disciples, followers of the Word, who are constantly in His presence look straight in His face. Here, the Truth could be seen and observed daily within their midst how the Truth actually operates. Christ walking the earth was constantly on His throne. The image of Christ on His spiritual throne applied all the time, as He was healing the sick, driving out demons and raising the dead. Christ declared: "for assuredly, I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it (Matt 13:17). This image of Christ applies today as well. Man is able to see Christ operating with his spiritual eyes, where the spirit realm is not restricted by time and space and directions. That image of those who are constantly in His presence while Christ operates from the image of His throne, that is, in power, is described as follows: a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands (Rev 7:9). THE PROBLEM OF JUDAS: OPERATING IN THE FLESH Then how is it possible that Judas Iscariot still missed his own purpose in life right in the midst of him been able to see Christ, the powerful spirit Word of God, who created all things? What was the problem with Judas Iscariot? The same question could be asked today: then how is it that so few actually press through to the presence of Christ while operating in a physical body, and why is it that so many people miss the point of entering Christ s presence and thus possessing Christ s spiritual kingdom of heaven now? The answer is simple but staggering. The problem with Judas was that he continued to operate in the flesh, in the good of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, which produces death. This type of follower of Christ exist in hundreds of millions on the earth. They call themselves Christians, but they are actually typical Judas Iscariots. There are people, even religious leaders, who can hear Christ s voice, just as Judas heard Christ s voice. And yet, they still misunderstand and miss-interpret Christ, the Word. Christ

18 16 serves them, calling them through His serving, to enter His kingdom and possess His kingdom all the deeper. Yet, they never do. Through hearing Christ s voice they think their relationship with Christ is okay. Judas also thought his relationship with Christ is okay. And the revelations Christ gives them they use in their ministry as they wishes unfortunately becoming distorted religious leaders who rules; not serves. THE FLESH TAKES THE WORD TO RELIGIOUS LEADERS TO EXPLAIN And HOW Judas actually operated in the flesh is clearly spelled out in scripture. The first error he did was to take His eyes off Christ, who ought to be the centre of his life, of the life of each and every disciple of Christ, of each Christian. The second error he did was to consult with religious leaders about Christ, so that the religious leaders can have their way with the Word, the Truth. Today millions and millions of so-called Christians refer religious problems and how to understand the Word to their learned pastors or religious leaders. They bring the Word to them to dissect, and in the process the Truth is crucified by the learned pastors. These church members will merely say: I have my pastor, or religious leader. Their eyes are not on Christ. These church members will even acknowledge that in today s age, they are the temples of God. They may even acknowledge that Christ lives inside of their bodies. Yet, their eyes are not on Christ living inside of their bodies. They do not even see Christ. They see only their church structure within a church group or church denomination. They only consult first with those who operate in the flesh. The actions of Judas is clearly spelled out in scripture of how he dealt with the Word, the Truth. The eyes of Judas were fixed on the religious leaders of his day to help. He came filled with the power of the flesh inside of him, and where Satan has also entered his fleshly, earthly domain of his soul. The power of the flesh is described as follows: And immediately, while He was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, with a great multitude with swords and clubs, came from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders (Mark 14:43). THE FLESH STILL TREATS THE WORD WITH RESPECT The flesh in man may still revere the Word, treat the Word with respect, as described in the actions of Judas: Now His betrayer had given them a signal, saying, "Whomever I kiss, He is the One; seize Him and lead Him away safely" (Mark 14:44). With respect he hands over, deliver, the Word, which should be understood, to the religious leaders. As soon as He had come, immediately he went up to Him and said to Him, "Rabbi, Rabbi!" and kissed Him (Mark 14:45).

19 17 The flesh in man even consider the Word with respect, calling the Word its teacher ( Rabbi, Rabbi ) The flesh in man goes through traditional religious routines to revere the Word (kissed Him). PUTTING THE WORD TO DEATH However, the crux of the matter is that Judas did not go to Christ, remained in Christ presence, to understand Christ, the Word. Judas went to the learned religious leaders of his day, so that the Word could be understood and explained by THEM. And both Judas and the religious leaders missed the mark, because both never remained in Christ s presence, sensing from Him first what to say and do, before acting anything out through their bodies. They operated in the flesh. If you are not in Christ s presence, you are operating in the flesh. The Christian religious leaders says: bring the Word to us, and we will see what to make of it. Then, at the end of the day they distort it, crucify the Word. They operate in the flesh against the Word. Therefore they did whatever they wish to with the Word, operating in the flesh, which produces death. Then they laid their hands on Him and took Him (Mark 14:46). Then they put to death the Word which is alive and vibrant. PROOF THAT THE WORD, CHRIST, IS PUT TO DEATH Why is it that Christians never read the Old Testament, the only scriptures, the Word, which led Christ to heal the sick, drive out demons and raise the dead? Why is it that the Old Testament, which is the Word of God, Christ, is so dead to read? Because Christian religious leaders have put the Word to death. Why is the MAIN message of Christ, the gospel which He and His disciples proclaimed, in the New Testament, of entering God s kingdom, possessing God s kingdom, not preached from pulpits? This message is not even preached in charismatic churches. Because Christian religious leaders have put the Word to death. CHRIST WEEPING OVER THE FLESHLY IN THE EARTHLY JERUSALEM The earthly Jerusalem is an image of all those on earth who operate in the flesh, whereas the heavenly Jerusalem are all those on earth and in heaven (which is also here on earth but in the spiritual realm) who operate in the Spirit. That is why it is stated that Christ wept over the earthly Jerusalem: Now as He drew near (to earthly Jerusalem), He saw the city and wept over it (Luk 19:41)

20 18 saying, "If you had known, even you, especially in this your day, the things that make for your peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes (Luk 19:42). "For days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment around you, surround you and close you in on every side, and level you, and your children within you, to the ground; and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not know the time of your visitation" (Luk 19:43, 44). The truths of the fortresses already built by the flesh in man, Satan and his kingdom, and Death, within the world became a realisation to me. Now, even Christians in Christian countries will not grasp why Christ, when the third World war breaks out, includes the participation of their Christian countries in this conflict, and why many millions of people who consider themselves Christians will perish in this war. Christians will feel abandoned by God, even thinking that God does not exist. They will ask how a God of love can allow such destructive atrocities to happen. It is merely the reward of death given to those operating in the flesh, for they eat continually from the tree of death, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The same happened 40 years after Christ was raised from the grave, when Jerusalem and the temple inside of it was destroyed, Jews were massacred, slaughtered, and numerous numbers of Jews sold as slaves, dispersed among the nations, leaving the land of Israel desolate. 40 years after Christ died on the cross, about 1,1 million Jews perished in or near Jerusalem in 70 AD, according to the historian, Josephus. A further were enslaved and sold as slaves. They were all on the wide road, the path of destruction. This occurred even though they expectantly wait for Messiah to come in the flesh, went regularly to their synagogues, read the scriptures, prayed, and tried to keep the law. Their crime was that they never entered the kingdom of heaven. They only saw from a distance the open door. This image of death to the masses are still valid today right in the midst of Christian religion. It is an eternal image, true for all peoples of the earth, the earthly, the fleshly.

21 19 6. MY OWN SITUATION This chapter briefly focuses on my own situation, 14 years after Christ called me and I started to enter Christ s spiritual kingdom of heaven. THE LIGHT REJECTED In March 2004, I received the following prophecy applicable only to me: I see Europe. I see a nation in darkness. You will be a light for the nation. I had in my mind that multitudes in that European nation will see the light. They will flock to see the light, once the light has been revealed to me by Christ. Christ declared: "I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life"(john 8:12) and I am the light of the world" (John 9:5). However, if the preaching of Christ and the Holy Spirit only resulted in 120 people entering and possessing Christ s spiritual kingdom while they operate in physical bodies, even if John the Baptist prepared Christ s way, and even if Christ healed many people, raised many from the grave, and drove out demons from many, then the expectancy on me to produce a spiritual harvest even better than Christ of people entering Christ s kingdom of heaven would not be possible. That is a realisation I received 14 years after I have received my mission from Christ in heaven. If Christ produced a harvest of 1 out of every Jews entering His spiritual kingdom while they operate in physical bodies, then I should expect a very small number of people who would believe the content of my volumes within this European nation. The saying becomes true: "And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. (John 3:19). People, even the majority of Christians, as was the case of the majority of Jews in the days of Christ, prefer to operate in the flesh, the enemy of God. And this enemy of God, man s flesh, man s ruling soul and ruling body, is supported by the thoughts imparted into man s mind by Satan and his fallen angels, who have authority to operate in the fleshly, earthly domain. This is clearly stated in Scripture: The dragon (Satan) gave him (the beast) his power, his throne, and great authority (Rev 13:2). The battlefield is therefore in man s mind. I was a bit shocked, disappointed, in sorrow, for putting so much of my life, so many years, into sensing from Christ in heaven in order to become that light which Christ wants me to be, only to realise now that the harvest of that light, just as in the case of Christ, will be very very small. Now I start to sense Christ s feelings as A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. (Isa 53:3). It is one thing to be the light; it is a totally different matter to be accepted as the light by people. THOSE OPERATING IN THE FLESH RULE Even today, the Word is crucified by the flesh in man at an enormous and a staggering rate.

22 20 I have already come to the conclusion that Christ already knew then, when the prophecy was given, that my own family would reject the content of my volumes, as Christ has declared: 'a man's enemies will be those of his own household.' (Matt 10:36). I have also already come to the conclusion that any Christian religious leader in an authority position in a church grouping, whether a traditional church denomination, or a charismatic group of churches who operate more independently but are associated with each other, will protect their self-interest, and not allow the massive lots of truths of the kingdom of God to be preached from their pulpits, and also not teach their church members how to hear Christ s voice and thus enter the kingdom. They will not allow their boats to be rocked. This is exactly the way in which the religious leaders in the days of Christ walking the earth operated, choosing to put to death the Truth, the Word, Christ. They all protect their bread and butter in the name of God, and in the name of the Messiah, Christ. That is why Christ declared that He hates the Nicolaitans (Rev 2:6). The Nicolaitans is the combination of two words. Nico is the Greek word for conquer. Laitanes is the word from which we get our word laity. The word, therefore, means conquerors of the laity. It is the beginning of priesthood, pastor, minister, or the ecclesiastical control of individual churches. Current church denominations and church groupings all operate as the waters that are below, those who operate in the flesh. This is true even of Charismatic church groups. They are part of the peoples, where peoples cluster together in groups and identify themselves with that earthly group. "The waters which you saw.are peoples, multitudes, nations, and tongues (Rev 17:15). In the days of Christ walking the earth in a physical body, the examples given of peoples operating in the flesh were the scribes, the Pharisees, the Sadducees, and the rebels against the Roman Empire. They do not associate with the clouds of witnesses in heaven. They do not aspire to become one with the clouds of witnesses in heaven. If they did, they would follow the example of Christ in all its fullness, sensing first from Christ in heaven what to say and do, before acting anything out through their bodies, and thus continuously possessing God s spiritual kingdom of heaven while still operating in a physical body. I have already made peace within my heart that my family and friends, my work people and the charismatic church denomination in which I have membership, will reject the paradigms of thinking set out in the volumes. I thought that that was the reason why Christ declared that only another nation who does not even know me in the flesh, will read and grasp and take hold of and absorb what is written in the volumes.

23 21 7. FEW ENTER THE GATE This chapter briefly focuses on Christ s words that few people enter God s kingdom of heaven while operating on earth in physical bodies. SEEING THE OPEN DOOR IS NOT ENTERING THE KINGDOM Many are those who see the open spiritual door. Pastors in traditional church denominations always speak about the open door. And this open door is that Christ has died for the sins of mankind, for your own sins, and has reconciled you with good. That is preaching which deals about the open door, or the bridge which Christ built between sinful man and God in heaven. And there their teaching ends. Nothing more. There are those who actually go through the open door for the first time in order to see the kingdom of God when they become born again, as Christ has declared: unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God" (John 3:3). However, they only see the kingdom, just as a physical baby born in the physical realm outside of the female womb, representing the old life of a person, can see the vastness of the physical realm. However, they cannot enter continuously Christ s spiritual kingdom of heaven and possess it, just as baby born in the physical realm who remain a baby cannot enter and possess the vastness of the physical realm. The baby does not know how to eat, drink, crawl, and learn to walk without the mother and father supporting him, representing Christ and the Holy Spirit, in order to enter and possess the physical realm. Christ s instructions do not end with only seeing Christ s spiritual kingdom. Christ s instruction is that when you can sense through your spiritual eyes the open door in heaven, He wants you to come up here (Rev 4:1). He wants your soul to enter heaven, to enter heaven through the open door; not just see the open door from a distance. To enter should be a continuous action every second of the day. To only see the kingdom without entering should not be a continuous action. FEW ENTER THE GATE Christ declared: "Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it (Matt 7:13). Here it is clear that Christ wants man to enter: Enter by the narrow gate (Matt 7:13). Very few Christians do that, which confirms Christ s words: there are few who find it (Matt 7:13). That is why many Christians still remain on the wide road that leads to destruction. They do not enter that open door. The previous chapters have already noted how small the number of people who actually enter that open door.
