KINGDOM OF GOD

[Santoso]

Beloved ones, we heard:

 

“And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, THOU ART NO FAR FROM THE KINGDOM OF GOD. And no man after that durst ask him any question.”

‭‭Mark‬ ‭12‬:‭34‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

HOW we NO FAR FROM THE KINGDOM OF GOD? 

 

This, we heard:

 

“And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all? 

 

And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: 

 

and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. 

 

And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these. 

 

And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he: 

 

and to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, IS MORE THAN ALL WHOLE

BURNT OFFERINGS AND SACRIFICES. 

 

And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.”

‭‭Mark‬ ‭12‬:‭28‬-‭34‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

WHAT IS MORE THAN ALL WHOLE

BURNT OFFERINGS AND SACRIFICES ? 

 

This, we heard:

 

“And Samuel said, HATH THE  LORD AS GREAT DELIGHT  in burnt offerings and sacrifices, AS IN OBEYING THE VOICE OF THE LORD? Behold, TO OBEY IS BETTER  THAN sacrifice, AND TO HEARKEN THAN the fat of rams.”

‭‭1 Samuel‬ ‭15‬:‭22‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

That we perceive:

 

WHAT IS MORE THAN ALL WHOLE

BURNT OFFERINGS, is TO HEARKEN TO THE VOICE OF THE LORD.

 

WHAT IS MORE THAN ALL SACRIFICES, is TO OBEY THE VOICE OF THE LORD.

 

WHAT IS MORE THAN ALL WHOLE

BURNT OFFERINGS AND SACRIFICES  is TO HEARKEN and OBEY THE VOICE OF THE LORD.

 

For we also heard:

 

“In BURNT OFFERINGS AND SACRIFICES  for sin thou hast had no pleasure. 

 

Then said I, Lo, I come (In the volume of the book it is written of me,) TO DO THY WILL, O GOD.”

‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭10‬:‭6‬-‭7‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

WHAT IS MORE THAN ALL WHOLE

BURNT OFFERINGS AND SACRIFICES  is TO DO THY WILL, O GOD.

 

Beloved ones, let us hear again what Jesus said:

 

“And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, THOU ART NO FAR FROM THE KINGDOM OF GOD. And no man after that durst ask him any question.”

‭‭Mark‬ ‭12‬:‭34‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

Paraphrasing for clarity on Mark‬ ‭12‬:‭34‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

“And when Jesus saw that ONE OF THE SCRIBES answered discreetly, he said unto him, YOU ARE NEAR TO THE GOODNESS OF GOD. And no man after that durst ask him any question.”

 

Beloved ones, that we may understand,that we are near to the goodness of God, that we HEARKEN AND OBEY THE VOICE OF THE LORD:

 

Hear, O Israel or HEAR O THOSE WHO ACKNOWLEDGE THE TRUTH INTERNALLY ; The Lord our God is one Lord: 

 

and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind (UNDERSTANDING), and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. 

 

And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these. 

 

Beloved ones, that we may understand,that we are near to the goodness of God, that we HEARKEN AND OBEY THE VOICE OF THE LORD, TO DO HIS WILL.

 

For to do God’s will is TO HEARKEN AND OBEY THE VOICE OF THE LORD, for THE KINGDOM OF GOD or THE GOODNESS OF GOD is THE VOICE OF THE LORD. 

 

Paraphrasing for clarity on Mark‬ ‭12‬:‭34‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

“And when Jesus saw that ONE OF THE SCRIBES answered discreetly, he said unto him, YOU ARE NEAR TO THE VOICE OF THE LORD. And no man after that durst ask him any question.”

 

Beloved ones, for we are near to the voice of the Lord, for we HEARKEN AND OBEY THE VOICE OF THE LORD, TO DO HIS WILL.

 

To God the Father be all glory and thanksgiving through Christ.

Amen

Beloved ones, we heard Jesus said: 

 

“Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God.”

‭‭Mark‬ ‭14‬:‭25‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

What Jesus said “I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine”? 

 

Let us consider the paragraph, that He said this.

 

“And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body. 

 

And he took THE CUP, and when he had given thanks, he gave IT to them: and they all DRANK OF IT. 

 

And he said unto them, THIS is MY BLOOD OF THE NEW TESTAMENT, which IS SHED for many. 

 

Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God.”

‭‭Mark‬ ‭14‬:‭22‬-‭25‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

That we perceive:

 

THE FRUIT OF THE VINE is THE CUP or THE BLOOD OF THE TESTAMENT.

 

That we perceive:

 

They all DRANK OF IT is THE BLOOD OF THE TESTAMENT which IS SHED for many.

 

That we perceive:

 

NEW is NEW TESTAMENT. 

 

Paraphrasing for clarity on Mark‬ ‭14‬:‭25‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

Verily I say unto you, I will SHED  no more of THE BLOOD of THE TESTAMENT, until that day that I SHED  MY BLOOD of THE TESTAMENT NEW in the kingdom of God.

 

Paraphrasing for more clarity on Mark‬ ‭14‬:‭25‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

Verily I say unto you, I will shed  no more of the blood of the FIRST testament(Hebrews‬ ‭9‬:‭15‬), until that GENERATION (1 Peter 2:9) that I shed my blood of the NEW testament in the GOODNESS OF GOD.

 

WHAT is THE NEW TESTAMENT?

 

This, we heard:

 

“for this is my blood of THE NEW TESTAMENT, WHICH IS  shed for many FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS.”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭26‬:‭28‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

“And for this cause he is the mediator of THE NEW TESTAMENT, that by means of death, FOR THE REDEMPTION OF THE TRANSGRESSIONS THAT WERE UNDER THE FIRST TESTAMENT, they which are called might RECEIVE THE PROMISE OF ETERNAL INHERITANCE.”

‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭9‬:‭15‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

Beloved ones, Jesus says unto us, assuredly He says unto us, He will shed  no more of the WISDOM of the first testament , until that FAITHFUL AND VIRTUOUS or CHOSEN generation that He sheds His SPIRITUAL WISDOM (1 Corinthians 2:7,10,12,13) of the new testament in the goodness of God, we which are called might RECEIVE THE PROMISE OF ETERNAL INHERITANCE.

 

For we heard:

 

“And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward: not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God; 

 

who also hath made us able ministers of THE NEW TESTAMENT; not of the letter, but OF THE SPIRIT: for the letter killeth, but THE SPIRIT GIVETH LIFE.”

‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭3‬:‭4‬-‭6‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

Beloved ones, that such trust have we through Christ to God-ward: not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God; who also hath made us able ministers of THE NEW TESTAMENT OF THE SPIRIT: that THE SPIRITUAL WORDS THAT JESUS SPEAKS UNTO US (John 6:63), GIVETH LIFE.

 

To God the Father be all glory and thanksgiving through Christ.

Amen

Beloved ones, we heard:

 

“Joseph of Arimathæa, an 

honourable counsellor, which also waited for THE KINGDOM OF GOD, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus.”

‭‭Mark‬ ‭15‬:‭43‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

Joseph meaning in the bible usage: let him add.

 

Let us compare spiritually.

 

This, we heard:

 

“And, behold, there was a man named JOSEPH, A COUNSELLOR; and he was A GOOD MAN, AND A JUST: 

 

(the same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them;) he was OF ARIMATHAEA, A CITY OF JEWS: who also himself waited for the kingdom of God.

 

This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭23‬:‭50-52 KJV‬‬

 

In bible usage, Arimathæa means heights.

 

Paraphrasing for clarity on Mark‬ ‭15‬:‭43‬ ‭KJV‬‬:

 

LET HIM ADD, WAS A GOOD MAN, AND A JUST, OF A CITY OF JEWS ( of heights), an 

honourable counsellor, which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus.

 

For we heard “HONOURABLE COUNSELOR”, what HONOURABLE? what COUNSELOR ?what COUNSEL?

 

Let us compare spiritually.

 

This, we heard Jesus said: 

 

“When thou art bidden of any man TO A WEDDING, sit not down in THE HIGHEST ROOM; lest a more HONOURABLE man than thou BE BIDDEN OF HIM; 

 

and he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room.”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭14‬:‭8‬-‭9‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

And we also heard:

 

“Marriage is HONOURABLE in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.”

‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭13‬:‭4‬ ‭KJV‬‬

LET HIM ADD, WAS A GOOD MAN, AND A JUST, OF A CITY OF JEWS ( of heights), A MARRIAGE, BE BIDDEN OF HIM, which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus.

 

For we heard: “WAITED FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD”.

 

WAITED FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD means EXPECTED: THE FULFILLMENT OF PROMISES, THE GOODNESS OF GOD.

 

Paraphrasing for more clarity on Mark‬ ‭15‬:‭43‬ ‭KJV‬‬:

 

LET HIM ADD, WAS A GOOD MAN, AND A JUST, OF A CITY OF JEWS ( of heights), A MARRIAGE, BE BIDDEN OF HIM, which also EXPECTED: THE FULFILLMENT OF PROMISES, THE GOODNESS OF GOD, ACCEPTED, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus.

 

For we heard: “ went in boldly unto PILATE”

 

What PILATE  means ? 

 

Pilâtos, pil-at'-os; of Latin origin; close-pressed, i.e. firm; Pilatus, a Roman:—Pilate.

 

Paraphrasing for more clarity on Mark‬ ‭15‬:‭43‬ ‭KJV‬‬:

and craved the body of Jesus.

 

For we heard: “and craved THE BODY OF JESUS.”

 

This, we heard about THE BODY OF JESUS:

 

“and SEETH TWO ANGELS IN WHITE SITTING, THE ONE AT THE HEAD, and THE OTHER AT THE FEET, where THE BODY OF JESUS had lain.”

‭‭John‬ ‭20‬:‭12‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

And this, we also heard:

 

“BY THE WHICH WILL WE ARE SANCTIFIED THROUGH  the offering of THE BODY OF JESUS  Christ once for all.”

‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭10‬:‭10‬ ‭KJV‬‬

and DESIRED BY THE WHICH WILL WE ARE SANCTIFIED THROUGH  the offering of THE BODY OF JESUS  Christ once for all, and SEETH TWO ANGELS IN WHITE SITTING, THE ONE AT THE HEAD, and THE OTHER AT THE FEET, where THE BODY OF JESUS had lain.

 

Beloved ones, what “HIM ADD”? 

 

This, we heard:

 

“And which of you with taking thought can ADD to HIS STATURE one cubit?”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭12‬:‭25‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

That we perceive:

 

ADD is about HIS STATURE.

 

And this, we heard about HIS STATURE: 

 

“till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of THE STATURE of the fulness of Christ:”

‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭13‬ ‭KJV‬‬

and DESIRED BY THE WHICH WILL WE ARE SANCTIFIED THROUGH  the offering of THE BODY OF JESUS  Christ once for all, and PERCEIVE TWO ANGELS IN PURITY APPROVED, THE ONE AT THE HEAD, and THE OTHER AT THE FEET, where THE BODY OF JESUS had lain.

Beloved ones, we heard Jesus said: 

 

“And he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore am I sent.”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭4‬:‭43‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

What THE KINGDOM OF GOD MUST Jesus PREACH to other cities also?

 

This, we heard earlier:

 

“The Spirit OF THE LORD is upon me, Because he hath anointed me to PREACH THE GOSPEL to the poor; He hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, And recovering of sight to the blind, To set at liberty them that are bruised,”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭4‬:‭18‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

“To PREACH THE ACCEPTABLE YEAR OF THE LORD.”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭4‬:‭19‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

That we perceive:

 

THE KINGDOM OF GOD MUST Jesus PREACH to other cities also is THE GOSPEL.

 

THE KINGDOM OF GOD MUST Jesus PREACH to other cities also is THE ACCEPTABLE YEAR OF THE LORD.

 

That we perceive:

 

The acceptable year OF THE LORD is the gospel OF THE LORD.

“And he said unto them, I must preach THE GOSPEL OF THE LORD, THE GOODNESS OF GOD to other cities also: for therefore am I sent.”

Beloved ones,that we perceive:

 

THE ANOINTING TO THE POOR is OF THE LORD.

 

THE HEALING TO THE BROKENHEARTED is OF THE LORD.

 

THE DELIVERANCE TO THE CAPTIVES is OF THE LORD..

 

THE RECOVERING OF SIGHT TO THE BLIND is OF THE LORD.

“And he said unto them, I must preach CHRIST THE LORD, THE GOODNESS OF GOD to other cities also: for therefore am I sent.”

 

For this, we also heard in the book of Luke: 

 

“And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. 

 

For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is CHRIST THE LORD.”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭2‬:‭10‬-‭11‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

And this, we also heard:

 

“And devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying, THOU ART  CHRIST  the Son of God. And he rebuking them suffered ( permit) them not to speak: FOR THEY KNEW THAT HE WAS CHRIST.”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭4‬:‭41‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

And this, we also heard:

 

“He (Jesus) said unto them ( His disciples), But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said, THE CHRIST OF GOD. 

 

And he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell no man THAT THING;”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭9‬:‭20‬-‭21‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

What is NO MAN? 

 

If NO MAN, that means is GOD or SPIRIT. 

 

Paraphrasing for clarity on Luke‬ ‭9‬:‭21‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

And he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell  SPIRITUALLY THE CHRIST OF GOD;”

 

For we also heard the elders of the people and the chief priests and the scribes, talking to Jesus: 

 

“Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe:”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭22‬:‭67‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

Beloved ones, let us BELIEVE THE CHRIST, that Jesus tells us. 

 

And we also heard Jesus said: 

 

“ought not CHRIST to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? 

 

And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning HIMSELF.”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭24‬:‭26‬-‭27‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

Beloved ones, let us consider again what Jesus said: 

 

“And he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore am I sent.”

To God the Father be all glory and thanksgiving through Christ.

Amen

[jeremiah1five]

The kingdom of God is not a place. It is a Person.

God.

I say this because there is only ONE God, there is NONE like Him, and He gives His glory to NO ONE.

Having said that, it is impossible for God to copy, share, reduplicate, give His glory (Eternalness) to a place or location. Only God is Eternal. And He gives His glory to no one. It is impossible for God to give His Nature to a location.

[Santoso]

Beloved ones, we heard:

 

“For I say unto YOU, AMONG THOSE THAT ARE BORN OF WOMEN there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.”

To whom Jesus says unto? 

 

This, we heard:

CONCERNING JOHN, What went ye out into the wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with the wind?”

Paraphrasing for clarity on Luke‬ ‭7‬:‭28‬ ‭KJV‬‬:

Beloved ones, we heard:

 

“And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing THE GLAD TIDINGS OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD: and the twelve were with him,”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭8‬:‭1‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

WHAT THE GLAD TIDINGS OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD? 

 

Let us compare spiritually

 

This, we heard  apostle Paul said about GLAD TIDINGS: 

 

“And we declare unto you GLAD TIDINGS, how THAT THE PROMISE which was made unto the fathers, 

 

God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.”

‭‭Acts‬ ‭13‬:‭32‬-‭33‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

What THAT THE PROMISE?

 

Let us compare spiritually

 

This, we heard:

 

“But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, THAT THE PROMISE by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.”

‭‭Galatians‬ ‭3‬:‭22‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

Paraphrasing for clarity on Acts‬ ‭13‬:‭32‬ KJV‬‬

“God hath fulfilled THE SAME

 unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.”

‭‭Acts‬ ‭13‬:‭33‬ ‭KJV‬‬

‭‭Galatians‬ ‭3‬:‭7‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

Paraphrasing for clarity on Acts‬ ‭13‬:‭32‬-‭33‬ ‭KJV‬‬

God hath fulfilled Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever UNTO US THEIR CHILDREN OF FAITH, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.”

 

Let us consider again what we have heard:

 

“And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing THE GLAD TIDINGS OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD: and the twelve were with him,”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭8‬:‭1‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

What he went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing THE GLAD TIDINGS OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD?

 

That we may understand:

 

Jesus went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing THE GLAD TIDINGS OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD, in way BY FAITH OF HIM MIGHT BE GIVEN TO THEM THAT BELIEVE THE KINGDOM OF GOD or GOODNESS OF GOD which was made unto the fathers, 

 

God hath fulfilled THE SAME (Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever) UNTO US THEIR CHILDREN (OF FAITH), in that He (God the Father) hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.

 

What Jesus preached is THE GLAD TIDINGS OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD or THE GLAD TIDINGS OF THE GOODNESS OF GOD.

 

What Jesus shew is THE GLAD TIDINGS OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD or THE GLAD TIDINGS OF THE GOODNESS OF GOD.

 

What THE GLAD TIDINGS OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD is IN WAY BY FAITH OF HIM MIGHT BE GIVEN TO THEM THAT BELIEVE (THE KINGDOM OF GOD or GOODNESS OF GOD).

 

Beloved ones, let us believe the goodness of God,that we may receive the faith of Jesus Christ, in way by FAITH OF Him be given to us that believe THAT THE PROMISE, which was made unto the fathers, 

 

God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children OF FAITH, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.

 

To God the Father be all glory and thanksgiving through Christ.

Amen

[Santoso]

Beloved ones, we heard:

 

“And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. 

 

Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭9‬:‭59‬-‭60‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

How may we perceive and understand what Jesus said?

 

What is meant by the text “Let the dead bury their dead”, we need to explore the meaning “but GO THOU and preach the kingdom of God.”

 

Let us compare spiritually

 

This, we heard: 

 

“Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, whither GOEST THOU? Jesus answered him, Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow me 

AFTERWARDS.”

‭‭John‬ ‭13‬:‭36‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

What AFTERWARDS ? 

 

Let us compare spiritually

 

This, we heard: 

 

“But before faith came, we were kept under THE LAW, shut up unto THE FAITH which should AFTERWARDS be revealed.”

‭‭Galatians‬ ‭3‬:‭23‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

Paraphrasing for clarity on Luke‬ ‭9‬:‭60‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

Jesus said unto him, Let THE LAW bury their LAW : but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.

 

For we also heard apostle Paul said:

 

“For I through THE LAW am DEAD to THE LAW, that I might live unto God.

 

I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by THE FAITH of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.”

‭‭Galatians‬ ‭2‬:‭19-20‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

Beloved ones, let us consider again what we have heard:

 

“And he (Jesus) said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer (permit) me first to go and bury my father. 

 

Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭9‬:‭59‬-‭60‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

Paraphrasing for clarity on Luke‬ ‭9‬:‭60‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

Jesus said unto him, Let the law bury their law : but thou shalt follow me AFTERWARDS (John‬ ‭13‬:‭36‬) and preach the goodness of God.

 

Paraphrasing for more clarity on Luke‬ ‭9‬:‭60‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

Jesus said unto him, Let the law bury their law : but thou shalt follow me THE FAITH which should AFTERWARDS be revealed (Galatians‬ ‭3‬:‭23‬) and preach the goodness of God.

 

What THE FAITH which should AFTERWARDS be revealed?

 

This, we heard:

 

“Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become DEAD TO THE LAW by the body of Christ; THAT YE SHOULD BE MARRIED TO ANOTHER, EVEN TO HIM WHO IS RAISED FROM THE DEAD, THAT WE SHOULD BRING FORTH FRUIT UNTO GOD.”

‭‭Romans‬ ‭7‬:‭4‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

Beloved ones, Jesus said unto us,faith reveal our faith: and we shall follow Him THE FAITH which should AFTERWARDS be revealed, THAT we SHOULD BE MARRIED TO ANOTHER, EVEN TO HIM WHO IS RAISED FROM THE DEAD, THAT WE SHOULD BRING FORTH FRUIT (SPEAK FORTH THE WORD OF TRUTH OF THE GOSPEL) UNTO GOD, that preach the goodness of God.

 

To God the Father be all glory and thanksgiving through Christ.

Amen

[Santoso]

Beloved ones, we heard: 

 

And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭9‬:‭62‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

How may we perceive and understand, what Jesus said? 

 

Beloved ones, let us compare spiritually.

 

If NO MAN, that means GOD or SPIRIT.

 

For we heard “having put his hand to the plough”

 

WHAT having put his hand to the plough? 

 

That we perceive:

 

WHAT having put his hand to the plough is the land.

 

plough or PLOW is a noun; it refers to the land or the cultivation of the land.

 

Beloved ones, for we heard:

 

And Jesus said unto him, NO man, having put his hand to the plough, and LOOKING BACK, is fit for the kingdom of God.

 

If NO LOOKING BACK, is LOOKING FORWARD.

 

Paraphrasing for clarity on Luke‬ ‭9‬:‭62‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

And Jesus said unto him, SPIRIT, having put his hand to THE CULTIVATION OF THE LAND, and LOOKING FORWARD, is fit for the kingdom of God.

 

Beloved ones, now let us explore what IS FIT FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

 

This, we heard Jesus said in the book of Luke: 

 

“SALT is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall IT be seasoned? 

 

IT is neither FIT for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭14‬:‭34‬-‭35‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

That we perceive:

 

THE SALT is good: that THE SALT has NOT LOST HIS SAVOR, wherewith THE SALT shall season.

 

THE SALT THAT HAS NOT LOST HIS SAVOR is FIT for the land.

 

THE SALT THAT HAS NOT LOST HIS SAVOR is GOOD for the land.

 

WHAT THE SALT that is GOOD?

WHAT THE SALT THAT HAS NOT LOST HIS SAVOR? 

 

Let us compare spiritually.

 

This we heard: 

 

“ought ye not to know that the LORD God of Israel gave the kingdom over Israel to David for ever, even to him and to his sons by A COVENANT OF SALT?”

‭‭2 Chronicles‬ ‭13‬:‭5‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

That we ought to know that the LORD God of Israel  gave the kingdom over Israel (to sons who acknowledge the truth internally) to David (Beloved)

for ever, even to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt ( by the covenant, that is perpetual and not to be broken ) —- just as how salt PRESERVES.

 

That we perceive:

 

THE SALT that is GOOD is THE COVENANT that is GOOD.

 

THE SALT THAT HAS NOT LOST HIS SAVOR Is THE COVENANT THAT HAS NOT LOST HIS PRESERVATION. 

 

Beloved ones, let us consider what Jesus said:

 

And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭9‬:‭62‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

Paraphrasing for clarity on Luke‬ ‭9‬:‭62‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

And Jesus said unto him, SPIRIT, having put his hand to THE CULTIVATION OF THE LAND, and LOOKING FORWARD, THE COVENANT THAT HAS NOT LOST HIS PRESERVATION is GOOD for the kingdom of God.

 

Beloved ones, let us now consider WHAT we heard: “having put HIS HAND  to the plough”.

 

WHAT HIS HAND, we have heard?

 

Let us compare spiritually 

 

This, we heard:

 

“Him hath God exalted with HIS right HAND to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give  REPENTANCE TO ISRAEL, AND FORGIVENESS OF SINS.”

‭‭Acts‬ ‭5‬:‭31‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

Paraphrasing for clarity on Luke‬ ‭9‬:‭62‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

And Jesus said unto him, SPIRIT, having put REPENTANCE TO ISRAEL, AND FORGIVENESS OF SINS to THE CULTIVATION OF THE HEART, and LOOKING FORWARD, THE COVENANT THAT HAS NOT LOST HIS PRESERVATION is GOOD for the kingdom of God.

 

For this, we also heard:

 

“And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body BE PRESERVED blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭5‬:‭23‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

And this, we also heard:

 

“Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that ARE sanctified by God the Father, and PRESERVED IN JESUS CHRIST, and called:”

‭‭Jude‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

Beloved ones,let our heart be cultivated by the Spirit of the Lord, having put repentance and  forgiveness of sins, that our cultivated heart looking forward to be preserved in JESUS CHRIST is good for the kingdom of God.

 

What THE KINGDOM OF GOD ? 

 

That we may understand:

 

THE KINGDOM OF GOD or THE GOODNESS OF GOD is TO BE PRESERVED IN JESUS CHRIST, THE COVENANT THAT HAS NOT LOST HIS SPIRIT PRESERVATION .

 

Beloved ones,for the goodness of God, we that acknowledge the truth internally be preserved in THE COVENANT OF Jesus Christ so let our heart 

be cultivated by the Spirit of the Lord, having put repentance and forgiveness of sins.

 

To God the Father be all glory and thanksgiving through Christ.

Amen.

Beloved ones, we heard:

 

“And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.

‭‭

And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you: 

 

and heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS COME nigh unto you.”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭10‬:‭7‬-‭9‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

How may we perceive and understand what Jesus said “THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS COME nigh unto you”

 

What THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS COME nigh unto you? 

 

This, we heard:

 

“The Son of man IS COME eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners! 

 

But wisdom is justified of all her children.”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭7‬:‭34‬-‭35‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

Paraphrasing for clarity on Luke‬ ‭10‬:‭9‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

and heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS COME or 

THE SON OF MAN IS COME EATING AND DRINKING 

or WISDOM IS JUSTIFIED OF ALL HER CHILDREN nigh unto you.

 

For we heard “the kingdom of God is come NIGH UNTO YOU.”

 

Let us compare spiritually.

 

This, we heard:

 

“And they shall be joined unto thee, and keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, for all the service of the tabernacle: and a stranger shall not come NIGH UNTO YOU.”

‭‭Numbers‬ ‭18‬:‭4‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

If that a stranger shall not come,  

that fellowcitizens with the saints (Ephesians‬ ‭2‬:‭19‬) shall come. 

 

Paraphrasing for clarity on Luke‬ ‭10‬:‭9‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

and heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, wisdom is justified of all her children (Luke‬ ‭7‬:‭35), that fellowcitizens with the saints (Ephesians‬ ‭2‬:‭19‬) shall come.

 

Paraphrasing for more clarity on Luke‬ ‭10‬:‭9‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

and heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, wisdom (the spiritual nation/spiritual bride) is justified of all her children (Luke‬ ‭7‬:‭35), that fellowcitizens with the saints (Ephesians‬ ‭2‬:‭19‬) shall come.

 

Selah

 

And also, we heard:

 

“But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say, 

 

Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS COME nigh unto you.”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭10‬:‭10‬-‭11‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

Paraphrasing for clarity on Luke‬ ‭10‬:‭11‬ ‭

 

Even the VERY DUST or the PRECISE ISLES/NATIONS (Isaiah 40:15) of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: despite anything else, be certain of this, that wisdom (the spiritual nation/spiritual bride) is justified of all her children (Luke‬ ‭7‬:‭35), that fellowcitizens with the saints (Ephesians‬ ‭2‬:‭19‬) shall come.

 

To God the Father be all glory and thanksgiving through Christ.

Amen
