1 How Do You fit into God s Kingdom? Issue date: 30 Aug 2007 Most of us like doing jig-saw puzzles. We do it for recreational reasons because we like doing it. We have the picture in front of us on the box and many pieces splayed out in front of us that look randomly placed. Our task is to fit the physical pieces together to form this wonderful picture that we see presented to us on the front of the box. We like doing these puzzles, but there is one very important puzzle that we are all doing with our lives. Each one of us is a bit to the puzzle, and when all these pieces are put together we form what God would call The Kingdom Arrangement. This is a very important puzzle to us, because it is a matter of life and death! This kingdom is falsely described in other worldly religions as being a state of mind, or, when Christianity is spread all around the world, or, as the World Council of Churches said:- when the United Nations is in full control of the planet! But the reality is not what these false worldly religions tell us, but what we will find out from the Biblical scriptures that I will now show below. Why choose The Bible and this particular interpretation? The difference is, that what I will show here - was written thousands of years ago and we are able to see now, looking back through history how each and every word is used within these prophesies are in the correct time sequence, accurately described what would occur there is no other religion on this planet (including evolution that is able to do this)! Let me describe what the picture on the front of the box shows us about this New kingdom under Jesus Rule, that I call The Millennium period where all humans shall be resurrected into the 2 nd part of their life. The picture shows us that God will remove Satan s control. Jesus will take up Kingly rule. His immediate assistants will be made up of 144,000 individuals to be priests to explain to lesser mortals now resurrected into their perfected DNA fleshly body how to live a life of righteousness. During this time the earth will be cleansed of pollution and then to be returned to paradise. This is the picture on the front of the box. But it is one thing in knowing the picture on the front of the box it is obvious to see. But it is a very different matter in now making that picture a reality this part can be difficult! To make that picture a reality, work must be done in getting all the little pieces together in the correct positions. So we can ask the reader if you know this basic picture, could you then explain it to someone else. Could you help another person how to complete this jigsaw puzzle? Let us start at the top! 1. Jesus Christ is king of this new arrangement. How do we know that it is to be Jesus and not some earthly individual to come in the future? And how do we know when this was or is to start? What other information do we have on this? 2Sam 7v12,13 When your days are fulfilled, and you be asleep with your fathers, I will set up your seed after you, that it shall proceed out of your bowels, and I will establish his kingdom. He shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever This was a promise to king David (about 1000 BCE). What does Firmly Establish imply? It means trustworthy, reliable, not changeable. It inspires the sense of confidence and security. This could be likened to and individual buying something (product or service) from a shop. If that shop has been there for many years, for example a customer sees advertised Established since 1920, then the customer has the confidence in going there for a purchase, because if in the unlikely event that something goes wrong then there is someone around who will be able to give recompense. So God said your seed will be firmly established in the line of king David. So could it be applied to someone of today? No! Why? Because all the historical records of Jewish genecology were destroyed in 70 CE, when the Romans captured Jerusalem, There are now no records, so it had to be someone who lived before 70 CE, where the records could prove the ancestry! But we have recorded for us by Matthew and Luke the genealogy of Jesus and it was traced back to king David. The 1

2 records of the time tell us that the authorities never used genealogy to counter Jesus claim to be the Messiah (they would have done if they could because they tried to use everything they could find even going as far to manufacture falsehoods to get rid of him out of their presence)! 2. So when would this kingdom rule? Dan 7v1-8 In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream and told the sum of the matters. Daniel spoke and said, I saw in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of heaven brake forth upon the great sea (always = humans during the 1 st part of their life). And the four great beasts came from the sea (from the human race), diverse one from another. The first was like a lion, and had eagles wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made to stand upon two feet as a man; and a man s heart was given to it. And behold another beast, a second, like a bear; and it was raised up on one side, and three ribs were in its mouth between its teeth: and they said thus unto it, arise and devour much flesh. After this I behold, and lo, another like a leopard, which had upon its back four wings of a bird; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it. After this I saw in the night-visions, and behold, a forth beast, terrible and powerful, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth; it devoured and brake into pieces, and stamped the residue with all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns. I considered the horns, and, behold there came up among them another horn, a little one, before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots; and behold, in this horn were the eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking great things. Daniel tells us, he found this very frightening (see v15). Just like any person who does not understand strange happenings they have the fear of the unknown, so Daniel likewise, could not understand what all this meant and he was sorely afraid! And in the next verse, v16 he asks God: What does all this mean? The explanation comes in Verse 17. Dan 7v17 These great beasts, which are four, are four kings (= kingdoms) that shall arise out from the earth (from the human race). So let us look through history and see how this prophecy came about. It must be remembered that Daniel was in captivity, so these beasts would be relative to the Jewish point of view. This is where I have mentioned elsewhere that the Israelites are used as God s timepiece, a clock to allow us who are watching to get references to link His prophesies with. So Daniel was in captivity to the Babylonians. The Babylonians were the lion, very powerful at the time, captured the Israelites and had held them in captivity for 70 years the wings showed the speed that this empire was able to expand. The next beast in the prophecy was a bear symbolising the Medes and the Persians. They were lead by a person called Cyrus who conquered the Babylonians through entering the city by damming and so diverting the river upstream of the city, thus drying up its drains, and so going through these drains, they were able to open the gates from inside the city to let the army waiting outside, into the city. This was prophesised 200 years earlier (written down for us in Isaiah 44v27, 28 and 45v1) and quietly shown to Cyrus by the Jewish Priest Ezra after the city capture, when Cyrus was boasting what a good idea he had to take the city. Isaiah even wrote down Cyrus name several times within the text and how he was going to do it! Cyrus was so shocked that he realised God was all powerful and so in 2Chron 36v22,23 (and Ezra) we read he let the Israelites leave Babylon to go back and build the temple in Jerusalem. As prophesied, the bear was lop-sided to indicate that the Persians (Cyrus) dominated the now weaker Medes (as described in the Nabonidus Chronicles). As we are able to read here outside The Bible, the Medes-Persians empire indicated by the prophesy as having three ribs within its mouth show how it came in conquering in from three directions. The third beast is the leopard, having a sub-beast bird having four wings and four heads. This indicates the Grecian Empire under Alexandria The Great He was the leopard and showed these qualities by quickly conquered the Medes- Persians. However he died young and his empire was split into four areas under his Four Generals. This part in history was prophesised, by the bird initially on the back of the leopard (generals on the back of Alexandria) flying off in four directions and heading these four zones when he died. We now come to the fourth beast. But Daniel slides in v18 to reassure us that the saints will be collected during this next period of the fourth beast. Dan 7v18 But the saints of the Most High shall receive the kingdom, and possess the kingdom forever, even for ever and ever (These will be the living during the last beast spoken of specifically later, collected specifically for the final kingdom spoken of later within this talk). 2

3 Dan 7v19-22 Then I desire to know the truth concerning the fourth beast, which was diverse from all of them, exceedingly terrible, whose teeth were of iron, and its nails of brass, which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet; and concerning the ten horns that were on its head, and the other horn which came up, and before which three fell, even that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spoke great things, whose look was more stout than its fellows. I behold, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them; until the Ancient of Days (always = Yahweh) came, and judgement was given to the saints Most High, and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom. This fourth beast was and is the Roman Empire (I say IS because we are still feeling the effects of it {see Daniel Chapter 2 explained elsewhere compliments this section with more information} examples would be the Christian Religion, Treaty of Rome that the EEC hangs together on, USA originated from Europe, etc). The Roman Empire was very strong and powerful and existed through the time of Jesus and over a period of several centuries stretching all over the Western world including Great Britain (the other empires never had that dominance). Their Army was so powerful, well disciplined, well maintained, well armoured a pure fighting machine that was able to conquer and crush all opposition as described within the prophecy. We also see that the Romans were never crushed from an outside empire but imploded due to the wanton ways of its leaders. The prophecy tells us this and it also says that horns appear on this beast (of the Roman Empire what remains of it) and then the Ancient of Days (The Almighty God) comes to end this worldly system and replace it with Jesus New Kingdom as spoken of in section (1) of this commentary. So we conclude that we are during the last beast s time. What do these horns mean? Horns in the Bible always mean specifically individuals, or the powers of individuals as The Bible goes on to tell us. Dan 7v23-27 Thus he said, the forth beast shall be a fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all the kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. And as for the ten horns, out of this kingdom shall ten kings arise: and another shall arise after them: and he shall be diverse from the former, and he shall put down three kings. And he shall speak words against the Most High; and he shall think to change the times and the law; and they shall be given into his hand until a time, times and half time (this corresponds to 3.5 years and has not occurred yet I speak about this particular time period in other commentaries on this Web- Site). But the judgment shall be set (in heaven against this power) and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end (the end of this system of things =end of Satan s rule). And the kingdom and the dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven/sky, shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High: His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him. So we have here several things happening:- 1. Ten horns springing up from the Roman Power. This would be the European Countries on the mainland (continent) to Rome. 2. The other horn springing up would be the British Empire that suppressed the Spanish, French and Dutch empires. 3. When the Bible mentioned about an object speaking great things, normally it represents a nation that makes people stop and listen to their powerful exploits within the world how wonderful and influential they are to other nations and individuals. So what country sprung off from the British Empire (and other countries of the Roman Empire) that matches this? The country is the USA. Britain has what people may call a special relationship with USA. It can be seen that USA have the power, but relies on Great Britain for the diplomatic advise (and the old boy network throughout the world from its former empire days) on how to behave. This forms the Anglo-American alliance. We also read how The Bible tells us that these powers make war on the Saints. What does this mean? The best way to understand this is to view the situation from God s angle. He views the fact that world resources are being consumed to establish and maintain the operation of these inspiring and wonderful powers within Satan s world. According to the leaders of these countries (and generally the western world dominated by the very worldly Christian religion) - this is all done in the Name of God But what god? The god of this world in which they put their trust (ammunitions for example, to kill others, is from Satan). Thus they are against those True Christians who continue to preach and practice The True Word of The Almighty God contained within The Bible. The general population of these countries want the wealth and ease of life that this power gives to them, and so are complicit with their leaders ethos. The Religions (who work hand in glove with the political powers of these countries) are also portraying God s Word incorrectly and make war against individuals who stand up against them. 3

4 So the reader can now establish from God s word that we are now very near to The End of this present system of things. We are able to tie this in with prophesised calamities from an independent source the scientific community rapid global warming, general pollution, Ozone layer, lack of clean water, increased pestilence and drug resistant diseases, etc. We are able to see a culmination from multiple sources. The world powers will first implode by taking with them false worldly religion and then The Wrath of God shall occur to remove all vestige trace of Satan s old system within God s time and so not instrumental by man. Then God will set up The New Kingdom = the start of The Millennium ruled by Jesus Christ (I speak extensively of this very special period in other sections of this website). 3. So who are the individuals within this New Kingdom? What does the Bible say about this individual Jesus Christ? Matt. 26v63-65 But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether you are the Christ, the Son of God. And Jesus replied unto him, You have said: nevertheless I say to you, Henceforth you shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven. Then the high priest rent his garments, saying, He has spoken blasphemy: what further need have we of witnesses? Behold you have heard of the blasphemy. The priests would have thoroughly known the Torah (the Jewish Law and prophets Similar to our Old Testament) and would have known of Jesus speaking of Daniel 7v17 (see above) from where Jesus quoted from, back to the high priest. So we see that Jesus knew he was the Son of God and that he was to fulfil all the hundred or so prophesies pertaining to this first coming within a fleshing body on this earth (all these are covered in another explanation/commentary far too large a section to cover here). We have read in Dan.7v27 that the people on this earth will be given to the saints rather than just Jesus Christ. So who are these saints? It is recognised by all scholars, that John the last surviving apostle who worked with Jesus is a saint and will be one of those spoken of within the Bible (see my other explainations/commentaries). So we are able to read from:- Rev. 1v9 I John, your brother (in the faith/fidelity/assurance) and partaker with you in the tribulation and kingdom and patience (steadfastness) in Jesus, was in the isle of Patmos. Clearly the very elderly apostle John is making claim to be part of this new kingdom under the headship of Jesus Christ. Writing out to all brothers (Jews and Gentiles) in the new Christian faith/fidelity/assurance that they also have this expectation to also be with him. Notice how he relates to these brothers in the faith/fidelity/assurance he shares it with them. How many of these saints (brothers) will there be? The Bible tells us in several places one of them is here:- Rev 14v1 And I saw, and behold, the Lamb (Jesus Christ) standing on mount Zion (mountain representing the authority of God spreading out from Jerusalem to the whole world), and with him a hundred and forty and four thousand having the name of his Father (= The Almighty God) written upon their foreheads (marked in the book of life by Yahweh to be saints). This sounds a small number, but what we are talking about is the government to rule the earth, of which as we are able to see in human governments now - we only need a few people, relative to the whole population. So who will they be? Rev 5v9-10 And they sing a new song, saying:- Worthy art thou (= Jesus Christ) to take the book (= book of guaranteed life), and open the seals thereof: for thou was slain, and didst purchase (the ransom sacrifice = a credit token for us all) unto God with thy blood men of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation, and made them to be unto our God a kingdom and priests; and they reign upon the earth. Many Christian groups suggest this group of is only the Israel nation but clearly this is the wrong reasoning. There are many instances in The Bible to say it is not true. The two quotes immediately above tell us that the apostles are writing to all nations and so show us that this figure of applies to all nations. This is further shown by Paul s writings:- Rom 2v

5 We reckon therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law (of Moses many Christian groups get this bit wrong as well) Or is God, the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of the Gentiles also? Yes, of the Gentiles also: if so be that God is one, and he shall justify the circumcision by faith, and the uncircumcision through faith. We see here that The Good News of God s kingdom under Jesus is open to all people. Because this call is open to all people then so is the special prize at the end of the race open to all this being selected to be one of the What the Bible tries to explain and so many worldly Christian groups get it wrong, is that in The Old Testament, when the prophets talk about a New Israel = this new spiritual Israel is filled by what The Bible says are Individuals who by principal love God with all their heart and God loves all of them these are The Sons of God = the This is the New Israel taken out of The Gospel Age, because the Old Israel was effectively cut-out when it became disbanded in 70 CE. This Spiritual Israel of The Gospel Age only becomes Jesus Bride when they are Born Again (The Valley of the dry bones in Ezekiel tells us this) in a spiritual/celestial/heavenly body (I detail all this precisely in my many other explanations/commentaries/glossary) into The Millennium. Hence we can summarise, it is not by fleshly birth we enter into the New Israel, but through our Heart condition within this present world given by God a resurrection promise of a spiritual body upon our resurrection if we make the grade. This is the new promise that was never on offer in the Old Testament, but only alluded to. This is The Mystery spoken of within the Bible. This is further explained in:- John 3v3-5 Jesus answered and said unto him, verily, verily, I say to you, Except one be born anew, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus asked Jesus, How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter into his mother s womb, and be born? Jesus answered, verily, verily, I say to you, except one be born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. So we see here what is required to be done by those requiring to be part of the They must be Baptised first this is the entry ticket to the race that Paul talks about in Heb 12v1 and 1Cor 9v24. The prize is available provided you are successful at the end the race (of your life). Your success is judged by Yahweh at The Greater/Special Judgement that occurs at the end of the 1 st part of your life if you are accepted to receive your prize then your name shall be put into one of the locations on the scroll of guaranteed life. Thus we are born as Sons of Adam in a fleshly body, and if we partake in this race through baptism, and we press forward to The Promise given for those who successfully complete the race (archetypical to Abraham s promise of which we become sons of multiple biblical quotes within this parenthesis alone). At this point we become Born Again (not as all the worldly misguided Christians groups who mistakenly and in error suggest that it is at baptism one becomes born again this is absolutely not correct please see my detailed explanation/glossary on this elsewhere) into God s kingdom in The Millennium. Thus these are the individuals who are aiming for the real life a future in the heavens, and not being distracted or following the things and ways of this world under Satan s rulership. As an aside: Something that is totally missed by everyone I know and thus not recognised; is this passage in Matthew at Jesus baptism:- Matt 3v13-17 The cometh Jesus from Galilee to the Jordan unto John, to be baptised of him. But John would have stopped him, saying I (John) have need to be baptised of thee, and you (Jesus) come to me? But Jesus answering saying said unto him, Let it happen now: for thus it becomes us to fulfil all righteousness. Then Jesus was baptised by John. And when he was baptised, went up straightway from the water: and lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a Dove, and coming upon him, and lo, a voice out of the heavens, saying This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. The particular point to highlight is the embolden text - Let it happen now: for thus it becomes us to fulfil all righteousness. What is so special about this? Meditate on this. If Jesus died a perfect individual without sinning during his ministry what would God have done? By all righteousness and under the Mosaic Law God must raise Jesus from the grave (hell). But what would God have raised him into? By rights only a fleshly body like the one he had during his ministry. It was only by Jesus becoming baptised and throwing his trust and faith/fidelity/assurance upon his Father in the heavens (thus = a separate Entity = no Trinity), to now awaken/rouse/raise Jesus upon death not into a fleshly body by rights according to the existing Law of Moses, but now a spiritual/celestial/heavenly body under a New Law he was able to offer, to then lead the way into His new 5

6 kingdom by example for his followers to be selected/elected/chosen by his Father The Almighty God, during the next 2000 years of The Gospel Age. Thus Jesus was able to fully operate under Yahweh God s universal Laws to be applied to everyone so Jesus was able to demonstrate that he was not a special case and thus not flouting God s universal Law Thus Yahweh God was then able to reciprocate and raise His son into the spiritual/celestial/heavenly body without the need to bend one of his Laws (as a special case for Jesus)! So we can see now that each and everyone of us can look at the picture on the front of the puzzle box and then ask ourselves: Where do I fit in it? We see that God s intention was explained in:- Gen 1v28 And God blessed them; and God said unto them: Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth. And if they did not sin then Adam and Eve would still be alive with all their descendants upon this Earth today. God did not say you would go up to the heavens He never said this. So this was not His plan for the human race to go to the heavens. The having spiritual/celestial/heavenly bodies is The Mystery of The Bible, a little/difficult door, being an additional promise that God in His righteousness has bolted onto His main purpose that He was able to subsequently offer after the actions of Jesus Christ so he offered it as a bonus to those selected out of The Gospel Age of 2000 years! It was this that the Prophets of Old looked for but could not see because they had not an example in Jesus to see the way. God has never taken anything away in His promises, but rather only added value! So we see what went wrong:- Gen 1v17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat of it: for in the day that you eat of it, you shall surely die. I ask the reader to visit my section explaining Genesis for the full reasoning behind this. As I stated earlier, we are able to reason if they had not eaten then they would be alive. So it would not be then a learning period for these perfect people here on earth and then while still alive to then pop into the heavens - No this is not what God said! God has not changed the picture on this puzzle box just to suit what we want to do and where we want to go! But we must make ourselves part of the picture by ensuring that we have the correct part of the picture engraved upon our hearts. Paul talks about this in an illustration of his regarding the potter and his clay:- Rom 9v20,21 No but, O man, who art you that replies against God? Shall the thing formed say unto him that formed it: Why did you make me thus? Or, has not the potter a right over the clay, from the same lump to make one part a vessel unto honour and another unto dishonour? So he gives us the abilities and we work with what we have. Matt 25v31-46 But when the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit on the throne of his glory: and before him shall be gathered all the nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats and he shall set the sheep at his right hand, but the goats on the left. Then the King say unto them 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 to eat; I was thirsty and you gave me drink; I was a stranger, and you took me in; naked, and you clothed me; I was sick and you visited me; I was in prison and you came unto me. Then shall the righteous answer him, saying: Lord when saw you hungry, and fed you? Or thirsty and gave you drink? And when we saw you a stranger, and took you in? Or naked, and clothed you? And when you sick or in prison, and we came to unto you? And the king shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say to you, in as much as you did it unto one of these brethren, even these least, you did it to unto me 6

7 Then he shall say also unto them on the left hand: Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels: For I was hungry and you did not give me to eat; I was thirsty and you gave me no drink; I was a stranger, and you took me not in; naked, and you clothed me not; sick and in prison, and you visited me not. Then shall they also answer, saying Lord when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto you? The he shall answer them, saying, verily I say unto you, in as much as you did not do it unto one of these least, you did it not unto me. And these shall go away into eternal punishment; but the righteous into eternal life. This section probably requires a little explanation. Because when I was new to The Truth I had the wrong idea about this passage just same as so many worldly Christian groups of today. This passage must be put back into context of The Bible. This is a large section where Jesus is speaking to those humans who have taken on The Truth of Christianity after Baptism and most certainly not the whole of mankind who at present is totally in the dark (including all other worldly religions)! Thus this passage is not applicable to the whole of mankind. That is say - Christians being the sheep and the goats being everyone else No!. This passage is purely about True Christians and those who claim to be Christians! The sheep are the True Christians who make the grade either a spiritual body or those who just miss it, but tried hard in the correct direction. The goats in this context are those people who claim to be Christians but actually mislead people, deceive people about God s Word the Bible. Who pretend to do things in the name of Jesus but are really trying to make money or an income, prestige, etc from their own brand of christianity. Essentially those who are looking after number one that is to say - themselves! And as I mention in many places within this Web Site many of the worldly Christian leaders will fall into this category not all, but a large percentage, being those like goats having independent thought by going off on their own path doing what they want! The clue here is that it talks about brothers and about Jesus. The only people who know about Jesus and being brothers of are Christians and those who purport to be Christians. Those people who are not Christians know absolutely nothing about Jesus and nothing about the brothers in Christ so they logically are not to be included within this passage. This is further shown in Matt 18v6 and Luke 17v2, where The Bible says it would be better for a millstone to by hung around the neck of one of these false leaders and then to be thrown into the sea, rather than mislead or cause to stumble these little ones (these little ones representing humans of any age who are still young in the truth ). Also reaffirming what I have said earlier about some worldly Christian groups believe that the only come from Israel is shown to be a falsehood within this passage. It says when:- then shall he sit on the throne of his glory: and before him shall be gathered all the nations: and he shall separate them one from another This clearly tells us he is picking out certain Christians to be the special from all nations. So we can see from the above section Matt. 25 v that these individuals who make the grade will become God s adopted sons (from the Sons of Abraham that also means Loving Father = Yahweh). So how many of these chosen ones will be alive today, based upon proportions of population now and 2000 years ago, and the life spans of humans over this period of time I would think that there is about half of those people alive today that would be part of the saint class spoken about within this talk. So we do have the opportunity to help these individuals within their mission on accurately spreading the correct Word of God around The World. This is the primary requirement of God spoken by Jesus before he left to be with his Father in the heavens:- Matt.28 v19-20 Go you therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit: teaching them to observe all the things whatsoever I commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. If we do this then we are demonstration that we are carrying out the Will/Desire of the Father, and showing The Truth out of The Bible to all nations of The World. The Bible tells us that we cannot sit on the fence we are either for Yahweh The Almighty God or we are against Him. There is no middle ground! We will see this paradise earth cleansed from sin under the rulership of Jesus and his kings and priests spoken off within The Bible. This will only be possible for each one of us, only if we mould ourselves into the picture on the front of the jig-saw puzzle box and so then fit into The Kingdom Picture painted by God at its conception. 7
