Our Present Age
and how it will end


Chapter 25 – The Two Kingdoms 

This chapter will show that the determining factor that determines which people will be redeemed and be able to enter the Kingdom of God, is whether they have become "born again" and received an eternal Spirit that comes from the Most High God, which is our most highest Heavenly Father. This eternal Spirit does not come from Jehovah Elohiym, but rather from his Heavenly Father. All those who do not receive this eternal heavenly Spirit, will only be left with a soul and a body, and their bodies, if perpetuated, will continue in slavery to Satan, their maker, who is a liar and a murderer.

John 8:43-45 Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word. You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it. But because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me.

John 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

John 8:31-32 Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, "If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."

John 1:14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full [G4134] of grace and truth.

John 1:17 For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

What is Grace? Grace is something that Satan can never give to those who follow him. According to the Strong’s Concordance and Dictionary, Grace is “that which affords joy, pleasure, delight, sweetness, charm, loveliness: grace of speech, good will, loving-kindness, favor of the merciful; kindness by which God, exerting his holy influence upon souls, turns them to Christ, keeps, strengthens, increases them in Christian faith, knowledge, affection, and kindles them to the exercise of the Christian virtues; the spiritual condition of one governed by the power of divine grace; benefit, bounty; recompense, reward.”  

Evil was always present there in the Garden of Eden because Creation itself had already fallen, and in order for God to redeem His Creation it was absolutely necessary for the Son to be born in the flesh, die, and be resurrected. Through the baptism of the Holy Spirit, the body of Christ is completed, which is the fullness of Christ.

Ephesians 4:4-13 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ's gift. Therefore He says: "When He ascended on high, He led captivity captive, And gave gifts to men." Now this, "He ascended"--what does it mean but that He also first descended into the lower parts of the earth? He who descended is also the One who ascended far above all the heavens, that He might fill all things. And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.

The “fullness of Christ” is the body of Christ. The word “fullness” is translated from the Greek word “Pleroma” [G4138].  

Ephesians 1:18-23 That you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,  and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come. And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all, which is his body, the fullness [G4138] of him that filleth all in all.

Thus Christ is the head of the church, which is His body, which is His bride, which completes the Pleroma of Christ.
           
Colossians 1:13-22  He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins. He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence; for it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness [G4138] should dwell, and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross. And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight
           
Colossians 2:9-10 For in Him dwells all the fullness [G4138] of the Godhead bodily; and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.

Ephesians 3:14-20 For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height; to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled [G4137] with all the fullness [G4138] of God. Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.


Which kingdom do you choose? Time is running out! 
The end of the Age is here!
