1 PEOPLE OF TSION..."Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is Liberty" CORINTHIANS 3: 17 UNDERSTANDING THE KINGDOM By Ambassador Titus Williams First Edition Published in the Kingdom of Tsion - Year of the Nazoraean, Mission Statement: People Of Tsion Tabernacle Ministries - is calling men and women everywhere to come out of Sodom (Egypt) -REVELATION 11: 8; and turn to the Lord -PSALM 22: 27; and believe on the name of His Messiah Yosha Ha Natsiri (Jesus The Nazoraean), and love one another as He commanded us -1 JOHN 3: THE LORD GOD The Lord is God -JEREMIAH 10: "But the Lord is the true God; He is the living God and the everlasting King. At His wrath the earth quakes, And the nations cannot endure His indignation"... -JEREMIAH 10: 10 The true and full proper name of the Lord God is AHAYAH ASHUR AHAYAH and the shorten form is AHAYAH -EXODUS 3:14..."God said to Moses, AHAYAH ASHUR AHAYAH; and He said, "Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, AHAYAH has sent me to you"... -EXODUS 3: 14 God is Spirit -JOHN 4: "God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth"... -JOHN 4: 24 The Lord is the King over all the earth -PSALM 47: 2...."For the Lord Most High is to be feared, A great King over all the earth"... -PSALM 47: 2 The Lord lives in Tsion -PSALM 76: 2...."His tabernacle is in Salem; His dwelling place also is in Tsion"... -PSALM 75: 2

2 TSION Tsion is the originally name of the Canaanite hill fortress in the ancient Canaanite-Jebusite city of Jebus (Salem/Jerusalem) -1 CHRONICLES 11: "Then David and all Israel went to Jerusalem (that is, Jebus); and the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, were there. The inhabitants of Jebus said to David, You shall not enter here. Nevertheless David captured the stronghold of Zion (that is, the city of David)" CHRONICLES 11: 4-5 The LORD chose Tsion Himself; to be His dwelling place forever -PSALM 132: "For the LORD has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His habitation. This is My resting place forever; Here I will dwell, for I have desired it"... -PSALM 132: From Tsion the Law will be given -MICAH 4: 2...."Many nations will come and say, "Come and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, And to the house of the GOD of Jacob, That He may teach us about His ways, And that we may walk in His paths". For from Tsion will go forth the Law, Even the word of the LORD from Jerusalem"... -MICAH 4: 2 KINGDOM OF THE LORD GOD God (speaking through the prophet Nathan) claimed David s kingdom as My kingdom -1 CHRONICLES 17: He shall build for Me a house, and I will establish his throne forever. I will be his Father, and he shall be My son; and I will not take My lovingkindness away from him, as I took it from him who was before you (Saul). But I will settle him in My house and in My kingdom forever; and his throne shall be established forever.. -1 CHRONICLES 17: So David's kingdom is the eternal Kingdom of God. And David s rule over Israel is to last forever -2 CHRONICLES 13: Do you not know that the Lord God of Israel gave the rule over Israel forever to David and his sons by a covenant of salt?" CHRONICLES 13: 5 David s rule is to last forever. David is the king who will rule over Israel when it will be restored -EZEKIEL 37: "And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will take the sons of Israel from among the nations where they have gone, and I will gather them from every side and bring them into their own land; and I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel; and one king will be king over all of them; and they will no longer be two nations and no longer be divided into two kingdoms. They will no longer defile themselves with their idols, or with their detestable things, or with any of their transgressions; but I will deliver them from all their dwelling places inwhich they have sinned, and will cleanse them. And they will be My people, and I will be their God. My servant David will be king over them, and they will all have one shepherd; and they will walk in My ordinances and keep My statutes and observe them. They will live on the land that I gave to Jacob My servant, inwhich your fathers lived; and they will live on it, and their sons and their son's sons, forever; and David My servant will be their Prince forever. I will make a covenant of peace with them; it willl be an everlasting covenant with them. And I will place them and multiply them, and will set My sanctuary in their midst forever. My dwelling place also will be with them; and I will be their God, and they will be My people. And the nations will know that I am the Lord Who sanctifies Israel, when My sanctuary is in their midst forever"... -EZEKIEL 37: 21-28

3 God will rise up (resurrect) David -JEREMIAH 30: "But they shall serve the Lord their God and David their king, whom I will raise up for them"... -JEREMIAH 30: 9 David was the anointed of God, which is to say that David was the Messiah (Prince) of God -1 SAMUEL 16: 12-13; -PSALM 89: "So he sent and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, with beautiful eyes and a handsome appearance. And the Lord said, Arise, anoint him; for this is he. Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers; and the Spirit of the Lord came mightily upon David from that day forward. And Samuel arose and went to Ramah" SAMUEL 16: I have found David My servant; With My holy oil I have anointed him"... -PSALM 89: 20 David was the firstborn Son of God -PSALM 89: He will cry to Me, You are my Father, My God, and the rock of my salvation. I also shall make him My firstborn, The highest of the kings of the earth. My lovingkindness I will keep for him forever, And My covenant shall be confirmed to him. So I will establish his descendants forever And his throne as the days of heaven. If his sons forsake My law And do not walk in My judgments, If they violate My statutes And do not keep My commandments, Then I will punish their transgression with the rod And their iniquity with stripes. But I will not break off My lovingkindness from him, Nor deal falsely in My faithfulness. My covenant I will not violate, Nor will I alter the utterance of My lips. Once I have sworn by My holiness; I will not lie to David. His descendants shall endure forever And his throne as the sun before Me. It shall be established forever like the moon, And the witness in the sky is faithful... -PSALM 89: YOSHA HA NATSIRI WAS GIVEN THE KINGDOM The Lord God gave Yosha (Jesus) the throne of David (the Kingdom of God) and the rule over the house of Jacob (Israel) forever -LUKE 1: And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name Him Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David; and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and His kingdom will have no end... -LUKE 1: The Founding Fathers at the Passover Assembly... Just as My Father has granted Me a Kingdom... -LUKE 22: 29

4 For those who had continued with Him throughout His trials, He granted them to sit on thrones as Judges of the 12 Tribes of Israel -LUKE 22: You are those who have stood by Me in My trials; And Just as My Father has granted Me a Kingdom, I grant you that you may eat and drink at My table in My Kingdom, and you will set on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel"... -LUKE 22: At the Passover Assembly -LUKE 22: 14-16, Yosha Ha Natsiri (Jesus The Nazoraean) explained how His Kingdom would be different from all the other kingdoms. In His Kingdom, the greatest will be as the younger and the leader as a servant -LUKE 22: "And there arose also a contention among them, which of them was accounted to be greatest. And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles have lordship over them; and they that have authority over them are called Benefactors. But it is not this way with you, but the one who is the greatest among you must become like the youngest, and the leader like the servant. For who is greater, the one who reclines at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines at the table? But I am among you as the one who serves"... -LUKE 22: 24-2 Yosha (Jesus) said He is Messiah -JOHN 4: "The woman said to Him, I know that Messiah is coming (He who is called Christ); when that One comes, He will declare all things to us. Jesus said to her, I who speak to you am He... -JOHN 4: Yosha (Jesus) was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. But also to Canaanite people who have faith -MATTHEW 15: "Jesus went away from there, and withdrew into the district of Tyre and Sidon. And a Canaanite woman from that region came out and began to cry out, saying, Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David; my daughter is cruelly demon-possessed. But He did not answer her a word. And His disciples came and implored Him, saying, Send her away, because she keeps shouting at us. But He answered and said, I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. But she came and began to bow down before Him, saying, Lord, help me!" And He answered and said, It is not good to take the children s bread and throw it to the dogs. But she said, Yes, Lord; but even the dogs feed on the crumbs which fall from their masters table. Then Jesus said to her, O woman, your faith is great; it shall be done for you as you wish. And her daughter was healed at once'... -MATTHEW 15: Yosha (Jesus) made us a Kingdom -REVELATION 1: "And from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who loves us and released us from our sins by His blood and He has made us to be a kingdom, priests to His God and Father to Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen"... -REVELATION 1: 5-6. God exalted Yosha (Jesus) to His right hand as a Prince (Messiah) and a Savior to Israel -ACTS 5: The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you had put to death by hanging Him on a cross. He is the one whom God exalted to His right hand as a Prince and a Savior, to grant repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. And we are witnesses of these things; and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey Him... -ACTS 5: Mans original home was a garden on the east side of Eden -GENESIS 2: 8. Eden was the land of Canaan (the milk and honey land), which the Lord gave to the sons of Israel -DEUTERONOMY 31: 20; -DEUTERONOMY 32: 48. When the Israelites sinned -JEREMIAH 3: 6-10; they lost the ability to control their environment. And so, they lost Kingdom -2 KINGS 24: 17-20! To trully know what Israel lost all one has to really do is to just study what Yosha (Jesus) brought to Israel. Whatever Yosha (Jesus) brought to Israel, that is what Israel had lost. Yosha (Jesus) brought to the people of Israel a better country, a Heavenly country -HEBREWS 11:

5 THE KINGDOM OF THE HEAVENS Please understand that the Kingdom Of The Heavens is a real country. It is in reality even more real than this here material earth. The Holy Bible tells us that things that are seen were made from things that are unseen -HEBREWS 11: 3. So the invisible country is actually more real than the visible country we see. Now, when Yosha (Jesus) started to preach, He was 30 years old, and had just been baptized by Yohanan (John). Soon after, He was led to the wilderness of Judah to be tested of the devil. He over came all of His tests and with His body filled with the Holy Spirit without measure, He began His mission. Now, His very first public message can be found at -MATTHEW 4: 17. That was His very first statement. His very first words were this, "REPENT, FOR THE KINGDOM OF THE HEAVENS HAS ARRIVED!" The amazing thing about this is that He didn't say repent, because a religion has arrived. He said KINGDOM has come. Yosha (Jesus) came to establish (for the people of the house of Israel) a better kingdom -HEBREWS 12: To restore Israel back to their original authority so that they might take charge on earth as sons and daughters of God. You see, a Kingdom is not a religion. Religion is a powerful force but however, it cannot save you. The plan of the Holy Bible is a very simple plan. If you complicate it you will become confused. The Holy Bible tells us that there is infact a natural body and a spiritual body -1 CORINTHIANS 15: 44. We are sown a natural (flesh and blood or terrestrial) body and raised a spiritual (celestial or empyreal) body. Because flesh and blood (the natural body) cannot inherit the Kingdom of God -1 CORINTHIANS 15: The Kingdom of the Heavens is a spiritual realm of Light and is boundless. We will be translated into the Kingdom of the Heavens which is an invisibe realm of existence -HEBREWS 11: 5; -COLOSSIANS 1: 13. The kingdom of the Heavens is the spiritual realm of Light right here in the midst of us -LUKE 17: 20-21; -JOHN 12: 36. The Kingdom is here at hand but not of this natural realm -JOHN 18:36. Alright then, how can one enter the spiritual Kingdom of God and become a natural citizen? There's only one way. You got to be born into the country. Forget the views of the religious man because religion wont do it. A religious man said to the Prince (Messiah), "We know that you have come from God as a teacher. How then can I enter into the Kingdom?" -JOHN 3: 1-3. The Messiah (Prince) didn't say go do some rituals, some customs and then pray. He said "YOU MUST BE BORN!" ---- into His Kingdom. Do you want to be a legal citizen of the Kingdom of the Heavens? I will present to you the Messiah's (Prince's) formalities for entrance into His Kingdom. He will come into your personal life right there in that prison where you are. In that house or appartment, in that hospital bed, in that student dormatory, wherever you are. He'll come with government and I'am not talking about religion. He wants to connect you back to your true original country. He comes to reconnect us back to our original Heavenly country people. So that we can live, and be in this world but not of this world. EMBRACE TSION TODAY! IN LOVE AND RESPECT Ambassador Titus Williams
