Thanks for sharing those wonderful truths. As to the last one, personally I am looking to be changed and meet the Lord in the air where He will take us to His own throne in the third heaven. (1 Thess. 4: 13 - 18) There we will see Him enthroned on His own throne, (Rev. 3: 21) and praise and worship and adore Him forever. The Lord will then judge the world system and fallen angels. We will be part of that court. (1 Cor. 6: 2 & 3) regards, Marilyn. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the Hebrew Language itself contains a lot of information that people are not aware of. For example, every letter has a number value. So if two different words have the same value then their meaning is associated. אֱלֹהִים (Elohim) means "God" and has a numerical value of 86 (א=1, ל=30, ה=5, י=10, מ=40). הַטֶּבַע (hatteva) means "nature" and also has a numerical value of 86 (ה=5, ט=9, ב=2, ע=70).

Cntrysner Posted March 24, 2023 Group: Advanced Member Followers: 1 Topic Count: 5 Topics Per Day: 0.01 Content Count: 230 Content Per Day: 0.23 Reputation: 124 Days Won: 0 Joined: 09/14/2021 Status: Offline Share Posted March 24, 2023 We are born from above by the Spirit and Paul instructed us to not mind the things of this earth for we were raised with Christ by the operation of God. Our position in Christ is at Fathers right hand and it can not be moved. Col 3:1 If ye then be risen (ascended) with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Col 3:2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. Col 3:3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. Col 3:4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. The main fact is the Father gave us His Son as our sacrifice and if we believe in Him we died and resurrected with Him and we ascended with Him to Glory for we are in His body. Col 2:12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. Our new birth is from above and it culminates in heaven as a new creature. Eph 2:5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) Eph 2:6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: Our citizenship is in heaven not of this earth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's the kingdom government under His headship, carried out through us as per Revelation 2:27, "They will rule the nations with an iron rod."

So you think He will be here on earth for the 1,000 year Kingdom age? Hi John, You might like to consider these points - When Jesus was about to ascend the disciples asked Him, "Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom, (rulership) to Israel?" (Acts 1: 6) Jesus said it wasn`t for them to know at that time. Then Jesus ascended from the mountain of Olives. The 2 men nearby in white said that Jesus would return the same way. The prophet Zechariah tells us that when all the world`s armies are gathered against Jerusalem then Jesus will come to the mountain of Olives and deliver Israel. (Zech. 14: 1 - 4). Then Israel will rule over the nations. Now, Jesus did not tell His disciples when He would come to deliver Israel because He had not as yet revealed His other purpose - the Body of Christ. When Jesus ascended and was made Head of His body then He reveals that He will come for them to the clouds and take them to His own throne to rule over all. Cntrysner said it well - our inheritance is in heaven. Marilyn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi @Marilyn C I do think it's remarkable how the coming of the Lord which you mention is brought before us in the Lord's Supper, practised 'till He come' (1 Corinthians 11.26). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
