LOL. I showed what those scriptures actually mean. And you respond to my post, which included my commentary by saying "CORRECT". But, now you're trying to just say those scriptures are correct, which we all agree with? LOL. Do you have anything to say about what I said about those scriptures or is that too much to ask?
Is Jesus your King right now?
He did not say it His kingdom is not now! He was saying that at that time (now) His kingdom that His people were in and that we're still in right now, did not originate from earth, it originated from heaven. Hello? Open your spiritual eyes, David.
Read the text more carefully!
Revelation 11:15 Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The [
a]kingdoms of this world have become
the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!
Who is "our Lord" in this verse? God the Father. This verse is talking about when the kingdom(s) of the world become the kingdom(s) of God the Father "and of His Christ". Why are you not referencing the fact that God the Father is also mentioned here? It mentions Him there because that is when Jesus will deliver the kingdom He reigns over now to the Father. Scripture teaches that He will deliver His kingdom to the Father when He comes again.
1 Corinthians 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. 23 But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits,
afterward those who are Christ’s at His coming. 24 Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power.
The end comes when Jesus comes! That is referring to the end of the age. That is when Jesus said the righteous will shine forth in the kingdom of their Father.
Matthew 13:40
Therefore as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this age. 41 The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness, 42 and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. 43
Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!
Do you have ears to hear, David? Jesus indicated that it will be at the end of this age, which is when He will return (Matt 24:3), that the kingdom will be delivered to the Father and then "the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father". You need to learn to interpret scripture with scripture so that you can then understand what Revelation 11:15 is saying.
The scriptures are correct and only support exactly what they Speak = no Reign of Christ on earth until the 2nd Coming
If Christ were reigning on earth right Now/Today = Not a single saint would be suffering and dying.
The curse of Death remains in our physical bodies:
a.) Death is Ruling on earth right now
b.) Sickness and Disease are ruling on earth right now
c.) Lawlessness is ruling on earth right now
d.) Satan and his angels own this "age" and will not relinquish it until the 2nd Coming
Revelation chapters 6, 7, 11, 12, 13, 19 and 20 prove, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that CHRIST has not Returned and Set up His Kingdom on earth as Prophesied/Promised.
But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds
the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary
the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world
Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea!
For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.”
Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things?
6And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time.
7For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains
will do so until He is taken out of the way.
8And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.
9The coming of the
lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders,
10and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie,
12that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness
