    The Eight Kingdom Texts in Acts

    Yes, Jesus and the disciples taught about the kingdom rule of God to come. However, we as the Body of Christ have the rule of the Lord in our lives already. The 12 disciples will rule over the 12 tribes of Israel. We will rule over all on Christ`s throne in the third heaven.

    The Eight Kingdom Texts in Acts

    The kingdom message and the good news of Christ as Head of the Body are two revelations to different groups.

    The Eight Kingdom Texts in Acts

    I am not. I am looking unto Jesus. I know that all God has promised to Israel will come about. It is not for me to seek it.

    The Eight Kingdom Texts in Acts

    The disciples only went to the Jews. The disciples are promised by the Lord to be the rulers over the 12 tribes of Israel. (Matt. 19: 28)

    The Eight Kingdom Texts in Acts

    Jesus was talking to the children of Israel about seeking the kingdom, (rule of God through them over the nations). We are told to `look to Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.` (Heb. 12: 2 Col. 3: 1 & 2)

    The Eight Kingdom Texts in Acts

    The `good news` is that Christ is Head of the Body (Eph. 1: 22 & 23) and that we are sons of God in that Body. Our inheritance i s in the third heaven with Christ on His throne. (Rev. 3: 21)

    The Eight Kingdom Texts in Acts

    Christ`s rulership is over all of God`s great kingdom. (Eph. 1: 20 - 23. Col. 1: 16. Ps. 2: 6. Rev. 4: 2) And God`s great kingdom includes the visible and invisible, the earth, the Universe and the third heaven.

    The Eight Kingdom Texts in Acts

    Hi Matthias, Good topic. Now when Jesus was manifest on earth He came to Israel and confirmed the promises that were given to them made by the fathers. (Rom. 15: 8) One of those promises was that the kingdom (rule) of the God of heaven would rule through the nation of Israel over the nations...

    What do you think was God`s Purpose in making - the Nations, Israel and the Body of Christ?

    Hi Aunty Jane, I don`t think man can stop what God has planned for the nations. God is omniscient, (all knowing) and thus knew what man would do. As to the nations - God `has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their pre-appointed...

    What do you think was God`s Purpose in making - the Nations, Israel and the Body of Christ?

    Hi taken, Good that you have commented on authority and power. I agree that all will submit to the Lord who is sovereign over all. Now would you like to comment on what you think God has planned for each group in eternity?

    What do you think was God`s Purpose in making - the Nations, Israel and the Body of Christ?

    The picture of the fallen angels and Satan is an overview of what God`s word says about them. It is just a summary, not to do with after Christ`s ascension. Just as the Lord`s summary is in the surrounding verses. (Rev. 12: 1, 2 & 5)

    What do you think was God`s Purpose in making - the Nations, Israel and the Body of Christ?

    Hi Scott, God is not alone, the Godhead has three persons - Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (which I`m sure you know.) As to the church, Body of Christ, the New Man, it is not female, the wife and bride. God`s word tells us that His relationship to Israel is as a husband, master, and Israel as a...

    Yes, later the fallen angels were cast to the earth. (Rev. 12: 9)

    What do you think was God`s Purpose in making - the Nations, Israel and the Body of Christ?

    Yes, because a moral character is developed over time through choices. Adam and Eve needed to develop their moral character.

    What do you think was God`s Purpose in making - the Nations, Israel and the Body of Christ?

    `And the seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits, they are seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, and the other has not yet come. Abd when he comes, he must continue a short time.` (Rev. 17: 9 & 10) God is interpreting His word. And the timing is in the first part of the...

    What do you think was God`s Purpose in making - the Nations, Israel and the Body of Christ?

    The Nations will have those who are saved, (Rev. 21: 24) God could have sent Jesus anytime if that was His purpose. So, Israel has a greater purpose than that. Yes, in the time of the Body of Christ all may come, but when we have come to maturity in Christ then Israel and the nations will be...

    Lucifer drew a third of the angels with him when he was cast out of the third heaven. That invisible realm was created before the visible realm. (Col. 1: 16)

    Horns are powers. The beast doesn`t have 7 mountains on it.

    What do you think was God`s Purpose in making - the Nations, Israel and the Body of Christ?

    Hi Davy, Rev 12:3-4 3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. 4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman...

    What do you think was God`s Purpose in making - the Nations, Israel and the Body of Christ?

    Hi ewq, That is an interesting view. Is this what you mean? 1. Wide angle - The nations are from the beginning to the end. 2. Selected shot - Israel was made by God and was called out of the nations, specifically. 3. Extreme zoom - The Body of Christ is a spiritual organism and thus...
