God set up a kingdom

Mt. 8:8 The centurion replied, “Lord, I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.
Mt. 8:9 For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, `Go,’ and he goes; and that one, `Come,’ and he comes. I say to my servant, `Do this,’ and he does it.”
Mt. 8:10 When Jesus heard this, he was astonished and said to those following him, “I tell you the truth, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith.
Mt. 8:11 I say to you that many will come from the east and the west, and will take their places at the feast with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.
Mt. 8:12 But the subjects of the kingdom will be thrown outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

While learned Jews were looking down on Jesus, a Roman centurion knew that Jesus had extra-ordinary authority. Even though in those days a Roman centurion regarded a typical Jew the way white Americans regard an African today, this centurion confessed that the ordinary Jesus (in the eyes of learned Jews) was greater than him.

Jesus then declared that many would come from the east and the west and become part of the kingdom of God, but Jews who should be number one in the kingdom will be thrown out. Today you hear Jews boasting that they are the chosen ones. Unfortunately, most of them do not belong in the kingdom of God.

Who is in the kingdom?

Mt. 7:21 “Not everyone who says to me, `Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
Mt. 7:24 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.

Anyone who practices the words of Jesus is in the kingdom of God. And I mean the whole of his words.

It will crush all those kingdoms and bring them to an end

Da. 2:44 says that the kingdom of God will crush the kingdom of this world and bring them to an end. How is this going to happen?

Da. 12:9 He replied, “Go your way, Daniel, because the words are closed up and sealed until the time of the end.

Re. 5:1 Then I saw in the right hand of him who sat on the throne a scroll with writing on both sides and sealed with seven seals.
Re. 5:6 Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing in the centre of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders. He had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits [Or the sevenfold Spirit] of God sent out into all the earth.
Re. 5:7 He came and took the scroll from the right hand of him who sat on the throne.
Re. 5:9 And they sang a new song: “You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased men for God from every tribe and language and people and nation.
Re. 5:10 You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign on the earth.”

Re. 6:1 I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, “Come!”

The sealed words of Da. 12:9 are necessary for the maturation of the sons of God or for the completion of the kingdom of God on earth. When the words become unsealed, the kingdom of God will become complete on earth and will bring the kingdoms of this world to their end. The kingdoms of this world operate contrary to the principles of the kingdom of heaven.

When Jesus begins to open the sealed words in heaven, some vital spiritual knowledge will be released to members of the kingdom of God on earth, leading to their eventual maturation and adoption s sons of God. The vital spiritual knowledge will be given to Jewish believers in Jesus Christ, who will then spread it to all God's people. As Jesus opens the seals, trouble will engulf the kingdoms of this world.

Timing of Opening of the Seals

The sign of Revelation 12 gives the timing of the maturation of sons of God. The sign will occur in the sky on 23rd September, 2017. The adoption of the sons of God will occur in November, 2017, when Jupiter exits constellation Virgo. Jupiter enters constellation Virgo in August, 2016. That is very likely when the opening of the seals begin.

Only a fool would read such parables as literal physical incarnations on earth.

The sign of Revelation 12 is not a parable, neither does it occur on earth. It is a sign in the heavens; an astronomical sign. However, it is a sign of something that occurs on earth and then moves to heaven.

As for "only a fool", the Jews with all their wisdom could not know when the messiah was born. Only the maggi, whom the Jews would regard as foolish racist shits, were able to understand the sign in the sky and thereby knew very clearly that the messiah had been born. The sign of Revelation 12 is a sign that points aat the timing of the adoption of the brothers of Jesus. Once again, people that understand astronomical signs are able to accurately know the time.

Da. 12:10 Many will be purified, made spotless and refined, but the
wicked will continue to be wicked. None of the wicked will
understand, but those who are wise will understand.

Ro. 8:23 Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.
Ro. 8:29 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.

The Adopted Sons of God

Re. 7:9 After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no-one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands.
Re. 7:10 And they cried out in a loud voice: “Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.”

Every nation, tribe, people and language will be represented in the kingdom of God. The large crowd of Re. 7:9 occurs shortly after the rapture.

Want to Join the Kingdom?

Mt. 28:19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in [Or into] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
Mt. 28:20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

If you want to be one of the people in the multitude described in Re. 7:9, quoted above, you have to go through three baptisms. Baptism means "immersion". The first baptism is into the word of God. The second baptism is into Jesus Christ (water baptism). The third baptism is to receive the Holy Spirit. After these baptisms, you have to continually obey everything that Jesus commanded; Jesus must be your Lord.
