Most of the ministry and parishioners believe that the Kingdom OF Heaven/God is the same as,
Heaven. The Kingdom OF Heaven is like the United States OF America. The U.S. is not America,
since it is only part of north America, but is in the continent of America.
The Kingdom is like that, it is in heaven, but not all of heaven and only part of it. The Kingdom is
the government, which is the ruling authority over heaven and the people in it.
In the prophesy of (Isaiah 9:6,7). It says that a Child will be born, and the government will be upon
His shoulders: and His name shall be called, Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Prince of Peace,
and the increase of His Government and peace, there shall be no end. (Messiah) The Strong’s
Bible Concordance says that the King-dom, is royalty, rule, realm, reign. In this sense, it is
positions of authority and not a place, per se.
The big question is: who will reign in the Kingdom? The Bible says that people will reign with the
Messiah in heaven. Yahshua said “ Not everyone that says to me, Yahshua, Yahshua shall enter
into the Kingdom Of Heaven, but those that do the will of my Father which is in Heaven. (Matthew
7:21) Those that don't reign are the nations being ruled over.
In the parable of the people working in the vinyard, the last to be hired got the same wages as the
first. So the last Shall be first and the first last. Remember in these scriptures, that it does not say
the first were not included. And besides they also got paid.
Whether first or last, many are called and few are chosen. Chosen for what? Does it say anything
about hell, Lake of Fire, being tormented for ever, for not being chosen? No, it does not say that.
Yahshua said “ That unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and
Pharisees, you will by no means enter the Kingdom Of Heaven. The alternative is not the Lake Of
Fire, and it doesn’t say it is. (Matthew 5:20)
Ok, so what is the advantage to being in the Kingdom and the ruling authority? To start from the
top, Yahshua is King of Kings and Lord of Lords. This Means that He is over them as they rule in
heaven.
As Timothy said “ there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which Yahshua, the righteous
Judge, will give me that day: and not to me only, but also to all who Have loved His appearing”. (2
Timothy 4:8)
Listen, my beloved brethren: has the Lord not chosen The poor of the world to be rich in faith and
heirs of The Kingdom which He promised to those who love Him? (James 2:5)
If you love me, keep the Commandments. (John 14:15) For this is the love of Elohim that We keep
His Commandments, and they aren’t grievous. He that Overcomes, and keeps my works to the
end, to him I will I give power over the nations. (Revelation 2:26)
To repeat: not everyone that says Yahshua, Yahshua will enter the Kingdom. Many are called, few
are chosen. These scriptures are speaking about the people that are not chosen to be part of the
government in heaven, And they won’t be cast into the Lake of Fire for not being chosen for the
government. The rest of mankind that are not chosen will go into heaven to be subjects under the
Authorities.
Elohim will make the chosen, Kings and Priests to reign on the earth. (Rev 5:10) They will be
Priests of Elohim and the Messiah to reign with Him a thousand years. (Rev.20:6) In the end of
the 1000 years they will reign for ever and ever. (Rev.22:5) For a government you have to have
people to reign, all are not chosen for that. All will be saved, but all will not be Kings, and Priests.
Nicodemus said to Yahshua, " How can a man be born again, can a man enter into his mother's
womb and be born again? Yahshua said you have to be born again to see the Kingdom of
Heaven. He said you are eather spirit or your flesh, and if you are spirit. You are like the wind, you
can hear it, but can't tell where it comes from.
He said if Nicodemus doesn't believe Yahshua on earthly things, how would he believe Him on
Heavenly things. (John 3:3-12) Flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of Yahweh. I show you
a mystery; we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye and the last trumpet will
sound and the dead will be raised incoruptible and we shall be changed. (1 Cor 15:50-56) The
messiah will change our vile body,fashioned like unto His glorious body. (Philippians 3:21)
That my friends is when we will be born again of spirit and not flesh. There is no scripture in the
Bible that refers to anyone that was born again, mainly because it hasn't happened yet. No one in
this life has the authority to declare himself to be born again.
This page is about the kingdom, and what it means. Doctrines of traditions come and go, but
mostly come, and then you can't get rid of them. I actually believe they are chiseled in stone,
someplace. At least that is what it seems like because they never end.

I mentioned to one pastor about Christmas that it was a pagan celebration and he said well, that is
just one of our traditions that we keep. I think these pastors should read over the Scripture that
says, in vain do they worship me teaching for doctrines the command -ments of men, and that is
by Yahshua himself.
There is only one way to look at it, the modern church has become a church of man, not of the
Bible. The sad thing about it is, they're not willing to change, even when you show them the
scriptures. Click on Christ's Mass on the index.
