Now is My Kingdom
Not From Hence
Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world:
if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight,
that I should not be delivered to the Jews:
but now is my kingdom not from hence.
John 18:36

Knowing that modern bible versions take out the word 'now' is a clue that we have a threatening verse here in John 18:36!  We are having a serious problem with a kingdom today and what from Jesus said here, NOW is my kingdom not from hence.  So what kingdom are we in today?

With all of the media exposing all of the great ecumenical movements flowing across America like a giant Tsunami lately, we must know that God has certainly left us with warnings about all that not only 'will' take place, but what 'is' taking place.

Something wrong is taking place right now in the kingdom today!

People are working miracles!  Revelation 16:13,14 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

People working signs and lying wonders - and it prevents true salvation!  II Thessalonians 2:9-12  Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

False Christs and false prophets!  Matthew 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

They are preaching other gospels!  Galatians 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

Are we being proven?  Deuteronomy 13:1-3 If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder, And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them; Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

The great test!  I John 4:1-3  Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

II Peter 2 - read the entire chapter!

The tares are being gathered in preparation for the big burn day!  Matthew 13:20  Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.


Tough Times - Even for Paul
Boy, if a person didn't know his Book, one could get pretty shook with what is going on in modern Christianity today let alone all the other cultic movements that are readily available with a click of a mouse!  (or in the mail, tv, news, etc.)

In fact, even Paul himself had some tough times in the ministry. II Corinthians 1:8,9 tells us that he even despaired of life!   For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life:

As we should learn from Paul through these perilous times, he goes on to say in verses 9,10, But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead: Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;

Paul also says in II Corinthians 4:7-11 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.


So what IS going on outside of these church walls, anyway?

False prophets and liars in the pulpits of America are turning people
to a PHYSICAL kingdom that is NOT Christ's kingdom - YET!
...now is my kingdom not from hence.

But someday all the kingdoms will belong to Him..Revelation 11:15: And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.... but not yet  ..now is my kingdom not from hence.


These pulpit liars are exposed in the King James Bible!
They are kingdom builders; they are getting ready for physical war; they are killers!
see Revelation 16:14 - For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles,
which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world,
to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

Attack the deity of Christ!  Jude 1:4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

Walking in the flesh doing the works of the flesh!  Ephesians 4:17-21 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.  But ye have not so learned Christ; If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:

Brought God down to our level!  Changed the Book to books!  Romans 1:21-25 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:  Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

From liberty back to bondage!  II Peter 2:12-22

Compromise!  Jude 10-13 hits hard our willingness today to compromise and accept the ecumenical flow of today's poisoned waters in America's new Christianity!    But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.  Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.  These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;  Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.


What is going on today is nothing but
Physical Kingdom Stuff!

Ecumenical Compromise - breaking down the walls of doctrine and denominational differences by first destroying the biblical foundations and then rebuilding them with all these new programs and churches.   The wrong people have followed Jeremiah's advice quite well - see Jeremiah 1:10!  This ecumenical compromise is preached against in Jude 10-13 as well as in Nehemiah 6:2,7. That Sanballat and Geshem sent unto me, saying, Come, let us meet together in some one of the villages in the plain of Ono.  But they thought to do me mischief.  And thou hast also appointed prophets to preach of thee at Jerusalem, saying, There is a king in Judah: and now shall it be reported to the king according to these words.  Come now therefore, and let us take counsel together.

Great Commission - the baptistic and modern church movement to build churches instead of preaching the word!  It is the OT vs the NT!  Paul has given us a 'Greater' Commission - and it isn't building mega churches!

ALPHA - nothing but bible teaching that scratches the itching ears of those who can't endure sound doctrine!  They get their materials out of the Gospels and Acts and can be credited with this new 'Seeker' concept of the lost that 'almost everyone' is beginning to use!

Modern Pastors; Liars in the pulpits! -

They are carrying childish people about with every wind of doctrine - they are wolves in sheep's clothing and apparently few people know their Bible well enough to be able to spot them - many know the obvious wolves, but if they are not following their words, they are following their 'walk!'

Music Movement - from banjo to orchestras, from bad music to good music - in other words, all kinds of music is causing 'almost everybody' to bow down to the god of this world instead of praising the God of the universe!  It has happened twice before, it will happen again.  (once in heaven and once in Daniel!)

Rapture Controversy - Jesus Christ has already come, He needs to just return again physically and pick up His bride and finish all that He has started.  Too many Christians can only think about 'when' He is coming; they have almost totally ignored what He has already done with us, to us and for us!  We are suppose to be ready anytime, not just in the Spring, or in the tribulation or whenever...!

Christian Counseling - rudiments and great swelling words of vanity of the world mixing with the vain & deceitful words of religion have given God's truth and counseling a bad name!

Prophecy - 7th Day Adventists know how to perk people's attention with Revelation; Pentecostals have gone after America with prayer and fasting; Teens want to know 'their' future according to their desires...  Prophecy in the Bible means preaching, not foretelling the future!

American History and Patriotic Morals - Great history from the past is leading families of the present to the bondage and Calvinism of the past.

Kingdom Building is taking the forefront of the media!  They have spent the last 100 years destroying the foundation of America and now they plan on rebuilding it under the 'new Christianity with all it's new banners, whistles and demonic baloney!

Holiness Movement - all part of the kingdom building gang - in the name of good works and Jesus teaching, this false gospel has spread across the country in many different 'wagons!'

Family Integrated Church Movement - one of the newest wagons of the holiness movement - in the name of the family, bondage has returned to the family and most children and teens are more worse off than the family was before!

Sinless Perfection - another wagon from the holiness movement - a concept of something true that has been twisted by the devil!  The sinless walk on the inside should transfer to the outside if you really have the baptism of the Holy Ghost!  Romans 7 destroys that teaching! 2 Timothy 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

Entire Sanctification - another holiness wagon that the devil has twisted the truth in order to create this wicked teaching!  Right back to bondage of works!  2 Timothy 3:5  Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

Hollywood and it's influential media control - through the only media that 'speaks' to most people today, they are bringing back Babylon's original plan - Catholicism!  Jude 1:11 Woe unto them! for they have ... ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward...

Prayer and Fasting for America Movement - Even though their own modern perverted bible has taken out the verse on prayer and fasting, they are trying to unite the country - you know, the ole compromise trick, through prayer and fasting!

Teen and Children programs - all in the name of fun, parents are relinquishing all of what is left of their family duties and responsibilities by expecting someone else to 'teach' their children/teens - but be sure to keep them happy in the process - just like they try to do in the supermarkets as well as at home!


CHRISTIANS HAVE LITTLE OR NO CLUE TODAY
they are concerning themselves about the wrong kingdom!

And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world,
and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
John 3:19

 ... for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.
Luke 16:8b

Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
Matthew 22:29

Most people have erred from the faith and pierced themselves through with many sorrows because of our love of money which is the root of all evil!

Most of these people caught up in these modern perverted gospel movements today follow profane and vain babblings that have increased their lives unto more ungodliness because they have no clue about rightly dividing the word of truthII Timothy 2:15,16

People caught up in these modern perverted gospel movements have erred concerning the truthII Timothy 2:18

These liars in the pulpits and public school as well as even sunday school classrooms overthrow the faith of some. I Timothy 2:18!

Most folks, even Bible Believers, can not endure sound doctrine, but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fablesII Timothy 4:3,4

People are asking foolish and unlearned questions gendering strifes! II Timothy 2:23

Pastors and Preachers teach otherwise, and are not consenting to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness:  I Timothy 6:3-5


"Christian" folks just don't hardly know nuthin' anymore about:
The Holy Written Scriptures & where they can be located today!
What the Lord has already done!
"TIONS" of their salvation!
The Importance of the Book of Romans!
Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth!
The Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Heaven!
Whether or not they even have the TRUE salvation!
And if they do, they don't know nuthin about it!
(can they lose it, how did it happen, what happened, etc. etc.)

Nevertheless!!!
II Timothy 2:19  Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

II Timothy 1:12...nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.


In order for me to be a good minister, I must put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou has attained! I Timothy 4:6.  I Timothy 2:1,2  Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.

But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist,
make full proof of thy ministry.
II Timothy 4:5

Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.
I Timothy 4:13

Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called,
and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
I Timothy 6:12

And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,
In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves;
if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil,
who are taken captive by him at his will.
II Timothy 2:24-26


What an introduction to the greatest explanation of the difference between
the physical Kingdom of Heaven and the spiritual Kingdom of God!

Folks MUST see the difference or they will fall into the trap of the devil and get caught up in a physical Christianity - all in the name of the teachings of Jesus and that holy walk that so many folks want to attain NOW!
