1. Where is the kingdom

About the Kingdom

The Kingdom of Heaven is about humility, love, and obedience to God and service to others. It is about being a brother to the faithful and a witness to the world. Are we willing to give up our wealth, our time, our energy and our life for service to the will of God and His Kingdom of Heaven? Are we willing to be like Christ?

“Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.” Mt. 19:23

One must not love the things of this world more than the Name of God, more than His Character, His precepts, His Ways. There are many choices and sacrifices that follow those who suffer to seek the will of God and do it.

“And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.” Matthew 19:29

There are those who understand the contractual nature of the system of men, “The Covenants of the gods”. There are men who are in love with the power, praise and position of authority more than the love their brothers. These are the officers and ministers and prophets in the city of Cain, Nimrod, Pharaoh, Caesar, Presidents, and the Secretary Generals of the organized world of men, a system that does contrary to the kingdom of God.

“Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.” Luke 11:43

The Bible told us how we can be trapped by the words of our mouth, oaths and swearing, and the striking of your hands with those who do not believe in God’s precepts. We are warned against the deceitful dainties or benefits of the governments1 We are told that men will make escape difficult for those who seek to obey the Father in Heaven and be free again, as Israel was at the Exodus.

“Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.” Luke 11:52

The leaders of the nation and the churches established by that chain of power and exercising authority deny the Kingdom and liberty of Jesus Christ, while they deliver all into greater bonds of servitude under authority or jurisdictions ruled by the elite of this world system. They have taken away the key of knowledge concerning the true nature of the Gospel and the government of God.

“But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in [yourselves], neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.” Mt. 23:13

There is almost no place for freemen in the world as they were defined in early Israel. All are made subjects in the land of their natural birth. Some long for the freedom that was once a part of being an American. Those who, in their hearts and souls take on the burden of faith and walk in the ways of the Lord, are besieged by the ignorant, boastful, or greedy who will have all or nothing. Seeking independence and a free dominion, they can find no wilderness to which to flee , no new unspoiled land that does not bear the mark of Cain’s city-state.

“Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte [proselutos, a stranger, alien], and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.” Matthew 23:15

Some covet their neighbor’s goods and compel the taking of taxes to finance the benefits and fulfill the prayers they have offered up to the gods of their own making. They take the Name of the LORD in vain, saying that they trust in God, while, in truth, they are reaching out to benefactors who operate, not upon charity, but upon force and control, exercising authority and oppression. They bow down and serve the gods of men instead of seeking the kingdom of God and His righteousness.

“Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well. Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets. Let them be only thine own, and not strangers’ with thee.” Proverbs 5:15, 17

There are many who see the wickedness of the system of men over men, the system of the rulers of the gentiles who exercise authority over the beneficiaries of the common purse of a social democracy and the Corban schemes of corvee bondage. Do they curse the burden of the system while harboring a love for its power? Do men wish to judge it, but, democratically or otherwise, desire its power? Are they one in spirit with that which they claim to despise and hate?

“And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?” Romans 2:3

Many, through ignorance and good intentions, have been cunningly coerced into becoming a part of such systems. They have lacked knowledge and the Church has failed to teach them of the fallacies of these systems’ ways. They are often model citizens who willingly pay their share, but, deep in their hearts, they seek justice and mercy for all. They are charitable, patient, loving, and kind. Many have followed their pernicious ways because the way of truth of which was spoken as evil.2 They have not been shown the ways of God and they have been taught an easy gospel, filled with half-truths.

“Curse not the king, no not in thy thought; and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber: for a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter.” Ecclesiastes 10:20

The problem is not what the rich and powerful have done, but what those who love the LORD have failed to do. The way of righteousness is the way to freedom. If men will seek the ways of the Kingdom of God, all things shall be added unto them.
