    The Kingdom of God.... Is it within you?

    The dispersion was of Christian Jews as well as Gentiles of faith converted and dispersed with them through the Gospel preached in the power of the Holy Spirit.

    The Kingdom of God.... Is it within you?

    The time for choosing Israel alone to be His representative as the Kingdom of God physically on this earth, has long ago ceased to be the holy people, and holy nation unto God. God chose them for a purpose. That was to be the nation from whom Christ would come. Once Christ came the purpose...

    The Kingdom of God.... Is it within you?

    With a little more context from the words of Jeremiah we find the covenant in view is not the covenant to the nation of Israel. It is pointing to the new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Jacob, not according to the covenant God made with their fathers. The covenant they...

    The Kingdom of God.... Is it within you?

    If this is the covenant you are referring to, perhaps you missed the conditionality placed upon Israel IF... ye will obey My voice, and keep My covenant! Only THEN would the nation of Israel remain the people of God. For the nation of Israel to be unto God a kingdom of priests, and an holy...

    The Kingdom of God.... Is it within you?

    The problem that we all encounter and must try to overcome is bringing what we have been taught into our study of the Word of God. We're all guilty of this, because we all have preconceived opinions for what we believe. I know the doctrine you believe is biblical very well, because before I...

    They will reign with Him a thousand years and making an unknown Greek out of the English New Testament

    Remember Hobie numbering of verses and passages were added to aid our reading. "This is the first resurrection" is not the dead that shall not live again until the thousand years were finished. Those of the first resurrection are the blessed and holy, overcome the second death, priests of God...

    They will reign with Him a thousand years and making an unknown Greek out of the English New Testament

    No the first resurrection is the resurrection of Christ from the grave. He is the first resurrection that man MUST spiritually partake of to overcome the second death. Believers are overcomers in this life, not after we have died, then it will be too late to partake of Christ to overcome the...

    The Kingdom of God.... Is it within you?

    No, that is the Israel of God! The Covenant God made through Abraham's ONE SEED (Christ) is to all people of the same faith as Abraham. Those who are dispersed throughout the whole earth. You seem to think the promise to the physical seeds (many) of Abraham is the Covenant promise made to all...

    The Kingdom of God.... Is it within you?

    The epistles found in the New Testament are letters written to the universal Church on earth. The letters are not written to the Jewish nation of Israel but are to the Jews of faith and Gentiles of faith together called the "Israel of God". Spiritually the Kingdom of God that Christ ushered in...

    The Kingdom of God.... Is it within you?

    Yes, evil shall always be on this earth. You lack understanding because you have been taught to believe there will be ONE thousand literal years given this earth after Christ returns the second time that will be marked by peace and tranquility! That is not how "a thousand years" are defined...

    The Kingdom of God.... Is it within you?

    The Covenant God gave to the seeds of Abraham regarding the land of promise was fulfilled when Joshua led the nation into Canaan and divided the land by lot. There is not one promise from God to Israel that has not already been fulfilled. The promise of God to the seeds of Abraham has already...

    The Kingdom of God.... Is it within you?

    Satan cannot enter into the spiritual Kingdom of God in heaven, but he can enter into the place that is the representation of the Kingdom of God physically on this earth. That place of course is corporately called the Church. The assembly of saints is where Satan seeks to do his best work...

    The Kingdom of God.... Is it within you?

    Because a thousand years symbolizes time that began with the first advent of Christ and will not be finished until the seventh trumpet begins to sound. That's when the thousand years, symbolizing time during this Gospel age of grace is finished, and Satan is set free from his pit. Time...

    The Kingdom of God.... Is it within you?

    Christ is NOW ruling from Jerusalem! Jerusalem from above, not a physical kingdom on this earth, but heavenly Jerusalem that is above. After He was resurrected Christ ascended up to heaven and was seen by witnesses going into heaven. There He was given dominion, glory and a KINGDOM, that ALL...

    The Kingdom of God.... Is it within you?

    Yes, it is speaking of a thousand years! Not ONE thousand years, but a thousand years that symbolically represents this age of preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom of God that the spiritual Kingdom of God shall be complete as multitudes NOW in this age come into the spiritual Kingdom of God by...

    The Kingdom of God.... Is it within you?

    None of this is proof that Satan is not currently bound. It is proof that evil is alive and well as it always has been. Satan is not bound so the world will be at peace. Satan is now bound that he can no longer deceive the nations (Gentiles). Since evil and evil people will not be eradicated...

    They will reign with Him a thousand years and making an unknown Greek out of the English New Testament

    What about those who have part in the first resurrection and have overcome the second death? It is true all mankind is appointed "once to die" physically, so how do you explain everlasting life all who have been born again of the Spirit of Christ within?

    They will reign with Him a thousand years and making an unknown Greek out of the English New Testament

    When we have been given everlasting life through Christ when we are born again through the Spirit, will we be taken to heaven DEAD? What part of us goes to heaven? It's not our flesh that returns to dust, so what part of us is taken to heaven, and why would whatever you think goes to heaven go...

    The Kingdom of God.... Is it within you?

    The binding of Satan is during TIME given this earth for building the spiritual Kingdom of God through the Gospel preached in the power of the Holy Spirit. The problem for premillennialists is they refuse to believe "a thousand years" symbolizes TIME that began with the first advent of Christ...

    The Kingdom of God.... Is it within you?

    How can Satan be free since the advent of Christ's cross and resurrection since the spiritual Kingdom of God has, since the cross and resurrection, grown into a great innumerable multitude through all who have been born again through the Spirit of Christ within? If the spiritual Kingdom of God...
