The Kingdom of God is on Earth, NOW!
Posted : 28 Aug, 2012 12:26 PM
Are you being depised and persecuted?
Are you a friend of man, or rejected because you are not carnal and wicked?
There is a special reason, why you are being persecuted.
You must remember that the process of Abba YaHUaH's (YHUH) eternal plan calls for you to be despised, as He is despised in this world.
The Word of Torah [being comprised of both Covenants] is designed to create diverse effects upon the hearers. Those with "an ear to hear", will be strengthened in their determination to obey, whereas others are pushed even farther away from the truth, manifesting their true nature, which is hatred:
"They went out from us, they were not of us, for if they had been of us, they no doubt would have continued with us, but they went out that they might be manifest that they were not all of us". [I Yohanan/John 2:19]
When Jesus/Yahusha came, He set up His kingdom, and now His winnowing fan is in His fan, and He thoroughly purging His threshing floor. That which is wheat and holy, is being drawn unto Him, as that which is profane [the chaff], is rejected:
"Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire." [Mattityahu/Matthew 3:12]
"IS IN HIS HAND" is present tense, not future tense.
You are being persecuted, because you are of the kingdom of Heaven. Notice that the verse does not state, "THEIRS WILL BE THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN".
This, the persecution you are experiencing, is your being pruned, and Abba is using the seed of darkness to assist in your being pruned:
"Blessed [are] they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is [present tense] the kingdom of heaven." [Mattityahu/Matthew 5:10]
Their hatred of you, is your reward, now in heaven, and is proof that you have been translated into the kingdom:
"Blessed are ye, when [men] shall revile you, and persecute [you], and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great [is] your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you." [Mattuayahu/Matthew 5:11-12]
"Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:" Colosians 1:13]
Jesus/Yahusha told the Pharisees, that if He was casting out devils by the Spirit of Elohim, that this was the proof that the Kingdom of Elohim had come:
"But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you." [Mattityahu/Matthew 28:12]
Satan's seed hates the kingdom of Elohim which is in you:
"Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you." [Lukos/Luke 17:21]
It is not about Judaism or Christianity, who both teach that the kingdom of Elohim is to come in the future, when it is in His called-out ones now.
Our kingdom is here now, though men cannot comprehend it. The kingdom was to have gone to the Israelites [physical], but they rejected the Torah and ran after Babylon. Therefore the kingdom was taken away from them and given to the gentiles:
"Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof." [Mattityahu/Matthew 21:43]
We are that holy nation, that peculiar people, "a kingdom of priests". Notice how Petros/Peter speaks of our being "a kingdom of priests", NOW:
"But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light." [1 Petros/Peter 2:9]
YOU ARE THAT HOLY NATION!
What you are experiencing, is the separating of the wheat from the tares. The Holy Angels mentioned in Matthew 25:31-34 are right now, at war, as the angels are removing from His kingdom all things which offend and do iniquity:
"The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;" [Mattityahu/Matthew 13:41]
The kingdom is being cleansed even as we speak. All around you are angels which are working to remove "all things that offend, and them that do iniquity."
If you remember, when the disciples asked Jesus/Yahusha, why He was teaching by parables, He told them:
"Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath. [Mattityahu/Matthew 13:11-12]
What was being Spoken and Taught of Jesus/Yahusha that day on the Sermon on the Mount, was all about the Kingdom of Elohim which had come.
"Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." {Mattityahu/Matthew 5:3]
There will be no poor in spirit in heaven. Jesus/Yahusha is saying, "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN", not "theirs will be".
The kingdom was to have gone to the Israelites [physical], but they rejected the Torah and ran after Babylon. Therefore the kingdom was taken away from them and given to the gentiles, when Yahusha/Jesus
"Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof." [Mattityahu/Matthew 21:43]
The religious men of earth, those that are spiritually dead, are here to persecute us, and assist in our being pruned. Their beliefs of "who God is" involves driving you away from them, their synagogues, their social networks, and eventually from living on the same planet with them, which is why it stated in Revelation, that "the beast was given power to make war with the saints, and to prevail: over us. We are created t produce fruit juice, and there is some squeezing in the process.
"They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service." [Yohanan 16:2]
If you remember Yeshayahu/Isaiah 55:8, Abba tells you, speaking of the mystery of everything being backwards, that man's "thoughts are not My thoughts, and your ways are not man's ways."
When men hate you, there is a reason why; it proves that Abba loves you, and that you are His chosen people. The fact that you can comprehend that men
You will know them by their fruit. Can anyone hate, period, except that their seed is of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil?
The purpose of this process, is sanctification. The more you grow in the pure wisdom of Abba, the more you will be despised.
There is to be a clear distinction between that which is holy and that which is profane.
You are experiencing the workings of Abba, as He draws men out of the kingdom of darkness, into the kingdom of the light.
You are already in the kingdom, which is why your nature seeks peace.
The kingdom is here, and all around you are spiritually dead men. Some are going to be born again, and brought back to life, which when they are, they are translated into the kingdom:
These men are dead in their philosophies, though they cannot comprehend it. This is why Yahusha said, "Let the dead bury the dead"..?
How else can a man which is dead bury another that is dead?
"And you hath He quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins." [Ephsi'im/Ephesians 2:1]
Where did He quicken you, that you are no longer in trespasses and sins? In heaven? No!
You have been translated into the Kingdom of Abba YaHUaH's (YHUH) Son, and out of the Kingdom of the Dead!
The world is filled with spiritually dead men, and their nature is manifested by their spiritual father's nature in them - hatred.
