Mark 1:14 Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,

Mark 1:15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.

Jesus said the time is fulfilled. Jesus did not say the time will be fulfilled.

Has Christ established his kingdom in heaven? Obviously not, we are still on earth.

Has Christ established his kingdom on earth? Obviously not, Christ is not ruling in Jerusalem (Isaiah 2:2-3 Luke 1:32-33).

Jesus was offering the kingdom to Israel, but they rejected him (John 1:11-12). The gospel of the kingdom of God, was at that time at hand, if Israel believed the gospel. This was not the gospel that we are to believe, it was not the cross, it was not the gospel that Christ died for our sins and rose for our justification unto eternal life (Romans 4:25).

The offer of the kingdom was withdrawn until a later time (Romans 11:25-27), and was interrupted by this dispensation of grace (Ephesians 3:2).

I think you will find heaven is what happens to our lives when we repent of our sin (Matthew 4:17).

Your right heaven is not upon the earth but it’s within the earth. We are made from the dust of the earth. We have the witnesses of the blood, water, and Spirit within us the earth to testify of the Unity of the Spirit.

The Unity of the Spirit is the Father, the word, and the Holy Spirit found in 1 John 5:7-8.

Scripture says know ye not the Kingdom of God is within you. Sorry but heaven and the Kingdom are the same. Of course you don’t think so because of your trying to judge reality by your carnal physical eyes. The King doesn’t separate himself from his Kingdom. 


Heaven is a state when and where everyone is unified in that state and that state becomes the place.We cannot understand a state unless that state is described in terms we can understand.

The witness of blood testifies of Christ’s death. The witness of water testifies of his burial. The witness of the Spirit testifies of his resurrection. Theses witnesses in us of his death burial and resurrection is the gospel by which we are saved as Paul tells us in 1Corinthians 15:1-4.

The kingdom is now, but it is not of the world (John 18:36). The world cannot see it, because you have to be born again to see it (John 3:3). It's not the "visible church" so-called because the kingdom does not come with observation, as Jesus said (Luke 17:20-21). When Jesus returns, He shall have delivered up the kingdom to God (1 Cor 15:24). Clearly, there is already a kingdom, as these words presuppose an already-existing kingdom to be delivered up. Christ's people are come unto the heavenly Jerusalem - Heb 12:22.

The Father is Pictured in Rev 4:3 as the colour of a Sardine  stone and a Jasper stone

which is   like a  Diamond but mostly a  Red Multicoloured stone.

Jesus is a separate person dressed all in white with a Gold Band around his waste 

and Fiery Eyes and White Hair and  burnished brass coloured feet.

The Holy Spirit is the MIND THOUGHTS AND CHARACTER  that Jesus built while he was on Earth

combined with the Fathers Life giving spirit.

The kingdom of Heaven/of God has two different meanings.

1) the inward - Spiritual nature of man 

2) the outward - kingdom that will be established at Christ's return

    • Exhortation - October 24, 2024

      Albert Finch posted a blog entry in Albert Finch Ministry,

      You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • The Simchat Torah War -- Is this a Water Breaking Moment of Revival?

      George posted a topic in Biblical Topic Videos,

      George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

      Daniel: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 3

      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this study, I'll be focusing on Daniel and his picture of the resurrection and its connection with Yeshua (Jesus).

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
