"Asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God was coming he answered:
'The kingdom of God doesn't come with watching like a hawk,
and they won't say, Here it is, or There it is, because, you know what?
the kingdom of God is inside of you.' " (Luke 17:20-21)
The kingdom of God is like the missing link for evolutionist - Everyone talks about it,
but none has seen it, yet.
Of course, Christians can always say: "Get saved first by believe in Jesus and then
you will experince the kingdom of god after this life, beyond the grave and the judgement."
But that was not the question of the Pharisees: "When....".
Obviously they meant here on earth.
The Bible is the story of Abraham and his seed, commonly know as the Jews today,
but in reality the tribe of Judah (Genesis 49:8) was only one of thirteen.
However, inside the Bible is a story that repeat itself in many diffrent ways,
but they all mean the same thing.
It is the story of the rise of the common man out of misery, confusion, unjustice, disease and death
unto a state of wealth, wisdom, love, health and life....
The most famous is the parable of the lost son (Luke 15:11-24)
Unlike the lost son who remembered his room at his fathers house, mankind was so deep in the
material so they had lost their memory of what it mean to belong to God.
At that time, God sent his son to earth to awake mankind from their slumber, and to show them
what they have forgotten.
"And the word turned flesh and lodged among us, and we witnessed his glory, the kind of
glory a father gives his only son, full of grace and truth." (John 1:14)
One of the first truths he said was: "Ask first for the kingdom of God and his justice,
and these other things will be delivered to you." (Matthew 6:33)
Where is the kingdom of God? "...the kingdom of God is inside of you." (Luke 17:21)
Where is God, the person who Jesus loved to call his father?
The king is where his kingdom is and when his disciples asked him to show them his father
he replied:
"The things I tell you, I don't say on my own: the Father does His work, remaining in me.
Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me...." (John 14:10-11)
In other word Jesus said that God is inside the flesh as spirit and that His worshipers
must worship in spirit and truth. (John 4:24)
God is inside of you as spirit and thruth. Spirit gives birth to human life according to
Genesis 1:7 and also Divine Life according to Jesus in John 3:5
The truth will set us free from all problems in life according to John 8:32 and the truth is
God who is inside of us.
The goodness that comes from inside of us (Matthew 12:35) comes from God (Mark 10:18)
and it seeds good plants, ready to be harvest in this life. (Genesis 1:31), (Galatians 6:7-10).
We need to find God, how?
"Ask and you will receive, look and you will find, knock and you will be admitted." (Matthew 7:7)
"When you pray, duck into the store-room and lock the door and pray to your Father on the sly.
And your Father, watching on the sly will pay you back. When you pray, don't babble on like pagans
who think they can make themselves heard with a great glut of words. Don't act like them, because
your Father knows what you need before you ask Him." (Matthew 6:6-8)
"...when the real worshipers will worship his Father in truth and spirit. And in fact that's the kind
of worshipers the Father wants. God is spirit, and His worshipers must worship in spirit and truth."
(John 4:23-24)
As Jesus ascended many times to the top of the mountain to be alone with his Father,
so need we in silence ascend to the top of the consciousness to meet God in spirit and truth.
(Matthew 14:23, Mark 6:46, Luke 6:12, Luke 9:28)
Jakob, as so many other slept on stone materiality. (Genesis 28:11)
When in a sudden burst of divine illumination he realized that everything he saw on earth was
first conceived in the spiritual (heaven) and then brought forth (descending of angels) in the material
(earth/body).
He then awaked from his material sleep and praised God for letting him understand that any
material form or psycic state could be transformed by raising the consciousness to God
(the ascending of angels) and there be reshaped to perfect state that God saw.
"Surly the Lord is in this place (Consciousness); and I knew it not. (Because, I believed not
myself but only my prayers could come to God." (Genesis 28:16)
"....this (body) is none other but the house of God and this (consciousness) is the gate of
heaven."(Genesis 28:17).
Jacob used this law to altering the state of consciousness of the sheeps (Genesis 30:32-41)
"And Jakob took him rods of green poplar, and of the hazel and chesnut tree; and pilled white strakes
in them, and made the white appear which was in the rods.
And he set the rods which he had pilled before the flocks in the gutters in the watering troughs when
the flocks came to drink, that they should conceive (heaven) when they came to drink.
And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth (material/body) cattle ringstraked,
speckled and spotted." (Genesis 30:37-39)
"...I came so they would have life and more life." (John 10:10) was the word of the Master Jesus.
Jesus came in a time when mankind was sleeping on the stone of materiality, not understanding the
deeper meaning of life, they lived as the generations before them, with the same fate.
Today people are sleeping on the same stone of materiality, but this time they have a chance to wake
up from their dream if they begin to use their spare time to think deep.
Jesus knew, that in order to change mankind terrible destiny his eyes must be turned away from
materiality and commersalism to God and His Eternal Laws.
"So be perfect the way your heavenly Father is perfect." (Matthew 5:48)
In what way is God Perfect? Jesus never explained this, you have to find God yourself in order to learn.
You have to make a consciousness contact with God to understand his perfect way in every situation
in life. "...but let Your will and not mine be done." (Matthew 26:42)
Paul knew that real christianty was not being saved and waiting for death in order to live in "heaven".
Real Christianty is growth and change: "That's why we don't quit: even if our outer self is falling apart,
our inner self is renewed with every passing day...Meanwhile we keep our eyes, not on what we see, but on
the unseen, since what we see is temporary, while the unseen is eternal. (Second Corinthians 4:16-18)
"And all of us, mirroring with unveiled faces the glory of the Lord,
are being reshaped into that image, changed from glory to glory as if by the Lord's spirit."
(Second Corinthians 3:18)
Paul knew that man did not have to wait until the judgement to experince the kingdom of God:
"Remember, the Kingdom of God isn't eating and drinking, it's right living and peace and joy in the Spirit of
holiness." (Roman 14:17)
Giving is a part of right living and one of Paradise cornerstones.
"Give to those who ask you, and don't turn the person away who wants to borrow from you."
(Matthew 5:42)
"Accept free gifts, and give for free." (Matthew 10:8)
"To all those who ask of you, give; and from those who takes what is yours, don't ask it to have it back."
(Luke 6:30)
"But rather love your enemies, and do good and make loans excepting nothing back, and your reward
will be great, and you will be sons and daughters of the Most High, because He too is kind to the ungreatful
and the evil." (Luke 6:35)
"Give, and you'll be given to-they'll put in your pocket in good measure, shaken and pushed down and
overflowing the top, because by the same measure you use, things will be measured for you." (Luke 6:38)
"Good fortune is more in giving than in receiving." (Acts of the Apostles 20:35)
"God loves a cheerful giver." (Second Corinthians 9:7)
"Tell them to do good, to get rich in good deeds, and to be generous and sharing, storing up something
good to build on for the future, so that true Life will be within their grasp." (First Timothy 6:18-19)
