“Enter into the kingdom of God and Heaven”

Jesus came to earth from heaven to teach us and help us see the bigger picture, Deut. 30:12, 13, John 3:13, what is given before He returns to heaven a far country, what was left here “his goods” “talents” [spiritual tools, Holy Spirit God in us] and He returns to collect what is His, Luke 19:12-27 starts off certain Nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and to return, can this be speaking of Jesus coming here dying on the cross goes back to heaven to return to receive that kingdom. [Son’s promised kingdom for 1000 years], can the talents and goods be the bible and the gifts given to us for good works, and if we reject the truth, we become wicked and punished.
Verse. 15 when he returned ‘he received the kingdom” when Jesus Christ returns He receives His kingdom, He judges when He returns and we know the bible word of God is better than gold, it is Jesus that is the greatest object it is the bible the logos written word how we get to know Him the written word and the preaching that follows.
We know by scripture are obedience gives us opportunities to govern over many cities and lands in the millennium.
Verse, 41-46 describes the ones that did not repent and receive Jesus Christ of scripture as Lord and savior pick up the mantle of good works, created from the foundation of the world.
Jesus is telling us the future, what is to come a completion of the story or future prophecy, He comes back He reigns for a 1000 years at the end of the thousand years He separates the sheep from the goats it is here that the command to go out to all the earth to gather elect from the four corners of the earth, we meet in the air new heavens and new Jerusalem coming down and as we watch the earth burn up, we enter into the Fathers kingdom, kingdom of heaven kingdom of God. Rev. 11:15-17; 19:6.
While in the Millennium reign of Christ, it looks like Christ is preparing us for the coming of the Father’s kingdom, new heaven new earth, New Jerusalem. [Heavenly Paradise]
Both the earth and children of God are in a cleansing mode during the thousand-year reign preparing us for the coming of God the Father to be our God and Father and us His Sons. Rev. 21:7
These visions are all in the Fathers kingdom and God, The language, verbiage here is past
tense which states the Father has taken back His authority He gave to His Son, 1 Cor. 15:24, 28,
Matt. 28:18-20, the end of this earth, this world has come!
The statement “the time of the dead should be judged” this verse is speaking about those that died in the millennium and do not get raised from the dead until the end of the millennium.
So, this verse is speaking of those that died saved and unsaved in the millennial reign who are about to be judged.
When the seventh angel voice is heard that means it is over this world has come to a close
when he shall begin to sound “the mystery of God should be finished,” the seventh trumpet
which is the last trumpet and this trumpet ushers in the end of this earth and world period.
Just food for thought can the mystery of God be speaking of how the Trinity works, how Jesus the son of God was given all authority to forgive sin, when scripture states only God can forgive sin, we do not understand first Corinthians chapter 15:28, Jesus the son of God gives back to God all authority that was given to him be subject under the Father - so God can be all in all.
All the nations are being judged and the righteous shall be separated from the wicked. Matt. 25:32-34.
Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. Matthew 19:23-24.
The preaching to all nations can only happen in the millennium reign because of the removal destruction of Satan from the earth Satan hinders the preaching of the gospel, once all nations hear the gospel than the end comes; See, Matt. 24:13-14.
When the seventh angel sounded [last Trumpet sound] we are ushered into the Fathers kingdom which is called new beginnings. The phrase “thy wrath is come” implies that the wrath of God the Father, has just passed, past tense.
For the Lord[1] himself shall descend from heaven with a shout with the voice [sound] of the archangel and with the trump of God:
and the dead in Christ shall rise first,
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air: And
so shall we ever be with the Lord. See, 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17; Acts 1:9; Jos 6:5-7, 16, 20. [There is no indication in scripture we come back down after this verse comes to pass.]
Behold, I shew you a mystery;
Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot “inherit the kingdom of God;” neither doth corruption inherit incorruption [this verse is speaking of the kingdom of God, the last trumpet ushers in the last kingdom, new beginnings, new heavens new earth] [context and theme of the verse stay focused]
We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and
the dead shall be raised incorruptible,[immortal] and
we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, [end of flesh] then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written,
Death is swallowed up in victory. See, 1 Corinthians 15:50-54; Isa. 25:8.
These verses above can only happen at the end of the millennium reign - death is swallowed up in victory – means no more mortals no more flesh all have been changed into immortal bodies – heavenly bodies – 2 Corinthians 5:1; Luke 20:35, 36, 37-38; 24:39.
Death is swallowed up in victory is connected to the wiping of tears from our face and taken away pain and suffering, Isa. 25:8 And He will swallow up death victory and the Lord God will wipe away tears from off all faces, Rev. 7:17 God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away Rev. 21:4, this is explaining to us that we have moved from the millennium reign into the Fathers kingdom. 2 Corinth. 5:4.
The last trumpet the seventh trumpet brings no plagues, no pain no suffering, the seventh
trumpet ushers in New Beginnings!
Generally of persons (Matt. 20:8, 12, 14, 16 means the laborers last hired; 1 Cor. 15:26,
45, where ho éschatos Adám, the last Adam, means the final Adam since the second was the
last). In an adv. sense (Mark 12:6, 22, "the last to die being the woman" [a.t.]). Of things, the last, or the latter, the latter state or condition of anyone or anything (Matt. 12:45; Luke 11:26; 2 Pet. 2:20; Sept.: Job 8:7; 42:12); the last error, (Matt. 27:64); the last works, (Rev. 2:19); the last plagues, (Rev. 15:1; 21:9); the trumpet of the last day (1 Cor. 15:52, "In the last trumpet" [a.t.]). In the neut. éschaton as an adv. (1 Cor. 15:8, "last of all").
ἔσχατος éschatos [last] <G2078>
1. The general use is for what is last materially (Matt. 5:26), spatially (Acts 1:8), or temporally (Matt. 12:45). Theologically significant is the last resurrection appearance to Paul. This closes the series, and the association with “least” gives Paul his character as “one untimely born” (1 Cor. 15:8-9).
2. The eschatological use derives from what is last in time (cf. the influence of the prophetic “day of Yahweh”). The end begins with Jesus’ coming (Heb. 1:2). That the present is the last time is shown by the outpouring of the Spirit (Acts 2:17) and by the coming of scoffers, antichrist, etc. (2 Tim. 3:1; Jms. 5:3; 2 Pet. 3:3; Jude 18; 1 Jn. 2:18). Yet the last day is also awaited; cf. the last plagues of Rev. 15:1, the last enemy of 1 Cor. 15:26, the last trumpet of 1 Cor. 15:52, and the last hour or time of resurrection, judgment, and salvation in Jn. 6:39-40; 1 Pet. 1:5. Christ is the last Adam (1 Cor. 15:45ff.); he is also the first and the last (Rev. 1:17).
3. A figurative sense is “last in rank” (opposite of first) (cf. 1 Cor. 4:9; Mark 9:35; 10:31). The last place is the place of least honor (Luke 14:9-10), but disciples are willingly to take this place in unselfish service to others. [G. KITTEL, II, 697–98]
The word “last” means never to use again “last trumpet sound shall mean last trumpet, the last trumpet sound is the seventh angel, when this angel sounds the end of the world is here.
There are only seven trumpets in the New Testament the last trumpet describes the end of this world therefore the meaning of last means the end. This can only happen two ways, if you die today, and at the end of the millennium reign, death swallowed up in victory, means no more mortal bodies on this earth, all flesh has been changed into immortality;
While we live in these earthly bodies, we groan and sigh, but it’s not that we want to die and get rid of these bodies that clothe us. Rather, we want to put on our new bodies so that these dying bodies will be swallowed up by life. 2 Corinthians 5:4
“I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and [H]is kingdom” [2] [Who’s kingdom?]
“I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and [H]is kingdomSee, 2 Timothy 4:1 a primary verb; to live (literal or figurative) :- life (-time), (a-) live (-ly), quick; Dead means literal or figurative spiritual. [Who’s kingdom?]
Furthermore, the phrase, “Then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written” – “Death is swallowed up in victory” (1 Corinth 15:54). For those that die before the end of the millennium this verse is fulfilled. This verse gives more credibility at the end of millennium, because there will be mortal and immortal bodies living together on earth. It is more probable than not this verse takes place at the end of the thousand-year reign.
At the end of the millennium the last enemy to be conquered by Jesus is death that is mortal to immortality, corruption to incorruption.
We meet in the air or in the New Jerusalem - the phrase “death is swallowed up in victory” – are completed. 1 Corinthians 15:50-54.
The resurrection from the grave at the end of the millennium reign will be like the bodily resurrection of the saints from old, Matthew 27;
And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;
And the graves were opened; and “Many Bodies of the saints” which slept arose, And came out of the graves after [His]resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many. See, Matthew 27:51-53.
The reason for the resurrection is to bring us out of Abraham’s bosom to be with the Lord upon our death and to return with Him at His second coming, Luke 16:19-31. We Christians that fall asleep in Christ no longer wait for the resurrection - Jesus Christ is the first fruits of the resurrection and we follow immediately after death in our order.
Based on scripture Job was one of the saints of old who was resurrected in the New Testament, spoken about in Matthew above.
Therefore, prophesy and say unto them, thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel. And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves, And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the LORD have spoken it, and performed it, saith the LORD. See, Ezekiel 37:12-14 [
These scriptures sound like the saints coming back with Jesus on horses.
For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me. See, Job 19:25-27.
Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live.
For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself, and has given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of Man.
Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice and come forth--those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation. See, John 5:25-29; Daniel 12:2; Matthew 13:
Those that are still in the grave will hear his voice, we that die today before the millennial reign will be given a heavenly body after death according to 2nd Corinthians 5, so this verse is speaking to everybody saved prior to the millennial reign, to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. So, upon death Christians get a heavenly body.
At the end of the millennium or end of that age – time - world - because there will be no more flesh - no more death - no more sin - no more law – death is swallowed up in victory. See, Isaiah 64, 65 and 66; Rev. 21 and 22, all these verses support this conclusion.
Those that are resurrected in condemnation are cast into the lake of fire after the great white throne judgement - second death.
At the End of the millennium – New Jerusalem – new heaven new beginnings – God the Father takes charge – we are in His Kingdom which is different from Jesus Christ earthly Kingdom.
In New Jerusalem, we can see the Lord God Almighty the Father is taken His power back to rule and reign, and the Lamb is the temple of it, in the Holy City. See, Rev. 21:22, 23; Ezek. 43:2, 5.
Then cometh the end, See, from a primary tello (to set out for a definite point or goal); properly the point aimed at as a limit, i.e. (by implication) the conclusion of an act or state (termination [literal, figurative or indefinite], result [immediate, ultimate or prophetic], purpose); specially an impost or levy (as paid) :- + continual, custom, end (-ing), finally, uttermost. Compare <G5411> (phoros). [the end is the end - in this scripture and verse, it is the end of the world.]
when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. [mortal to immortality]
For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.
And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all. See, I Corinthian 15:24-28.
And in this mountain [New Jerusalem] shall the LORD of hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined. V. 6
This is describing the feast in the millennium reign at Christ table, and wedding feast “the LORD of hosts makes unto all the people a feast” notice He states - for all peoples.
And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the veil that is spread over all nations.
He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it. See, Isaiah 25:6-8, also, Isaiah 64, 65, 66. 1 Corinthians 15:24-28. At this point we are in New Jerusalem because Jesus Christ states that this feast is for all peoples.
The verse here can only come to pass after the bodies have been changed from flesh to immortality and He God the Father wipes away tears from off all faces- from off all the earth meaning new beginnings!
What is happening here is that God the Father is ruling and reigning Jesus Christ have just given back the authority God gave Him;
… Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. [Past tense meaning God the Father is ruling] Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. And he saith unto me, Write, blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, these are the true sayings of God. Revelation 19:6-9.
We will not remember this earth and those that who did not make it to the wedding feast celebration in the Fathers kingdom.
It is important and vital we Christians witness day in day out confessing the name of Jesus Christ on the mountain top.
All flesh shall be changed according to scripture before entering into the Fathers kingdom.
The reason we meet in the air in the book of Peter tells us that the earth will be destroyed
Therefore, we meet in the air while the earth is destroyed or dissolves burns up as we enter into the Fathers kingdom.
At the end of the tribulation immediately Jesus Christ returns, and we all see Him return on horses, so He does not come as a thief in the night at this time. The thief in the night sounds more like at the end of the millennium, when nobody expects it, and the earth is destroyed immediately after His return as a thief. This is God Almighty’s judgement – “the coming of the day of God
End of the earth and its legacy;
But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
But the day of the Lord [God the Father] will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. See, 2 Peter 3:7, 10-13; Isaiah 13:9; 34:8; La. 2:22; Am. 5:18, 20; Zep. 1:18.
After Jesus Christ kingdom reign the following books and verses will come to pass, be fulfilled 1 Corinthians 15;50, 51-54, I and II Thessalonians, the phrase last Trump(et) or resurrected from the grave brings with them 2 Peter 3, this is the end of the age end of the world, there is no earth we are in the new Jerusalem.
At the Last Trumpet Call were the dead righteous and wicked are judge at the same time, unsaved judged and then cast into the lake of fire this will occur at the end of this world.
And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord [God the Father] shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: [no blooding war this time]
… and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. 2 Thessalonians 2:8; Revelation 19:1; Rev. 20:9.
Those verses above can only be used at the end of the age and of the earth as we know it.
You decide!
[1] The LORD here also means = from kuros (supremacy); supreme in authority, i.e. (as noun) controller; by implication Mr. (as a respectful title) :- God, Lord, master, Sir.
