WOULD YOU SETTLE FOR
“HEAVEN”ON EARTH?
By Leo Holley
Some individuals go thru their daily routine without life having
very much meaning to them. They realize that there is something
else that is needed in their life, but they just can’t seem to
come to the realization what that might be. Having to get up and
go to work and do it all over again the next day. Is that what
we have to look forward to in our life. Is this why we were put
here on this Earth?
Some individuals who considered themselves to be Christian have
a better out look on their life. Somehow they know from within
that there is something better waiting for them in the future.
There is that ray of HOPE to them.
Once an individual accepts Christ, they began looking for the
reward that has been promised to them. That reward is to be in
God’s Kingdom, in Heaven. My question to a Christian is “ WOULD
YOU SETTLE FOR EARTH, AS THE HEAVEN PROMISED YOU BY GOD?”
How many really understand that when Jesus Christ returns, that
He will set up His Fathers Kingdom right here on this EARTH, and
not in HEAVEN, as has been taught?
“HEAVEN HERE ON EARTH”
The promise from God Almighty is that He will set up HEAVEN here
on this EARTH for 1000 years. Although this is not God’s
Government and Kingdom at this time, it will be in a very few
short years.
Notice Acts Ch 3: 20-21;
Verse 20; 21; “AND THAT HE MAY SEND JESUS CHRIST, WHO WAS
PREACHED TO YOU BEFORE, WHOM HEAVEN MUST RECEIVE UNTIL THE TIMES
OF RESTORATION OF ALL THINGS WHICH GOD HAS SPOKEN BY THE MOUTH
OF ALL HIS HOLY PROPHETS SINCE THE WORLD BEGAN.”
Now Acts 15: 16; 17; -
Verse16; “AFTER THIS I (Jesus Christ) WILL RETURN AND WILL
REBUILD THE TABERNACLE OF DAVID WHICH HAS FALLEN DOWN; I WILL
REBUILD ITS RUINS, AND WILL SET IT UP; SO THAT THE REST OF
MANKIND MAY SEEK THE LORD, EVEN THE GENTILES WHO ARE CALLED BY
MY NAME, SAYS THE LORD WHO DOES ALL THINGS.”
Jesus Christ said that He Himself would return to this Earth to
set up His Fathers Kingdom, Heaven on earth.
Jesus prayed, YOUR KINGDOM COME” (Matthew 6:10;), and it was
noted of Joseph of Arimathaea, “WHO HIMSELF was also WAITING for
the KINGDOM OF GOD” (Luke 23:51;) In the Acts of the Apostles it
is said many times that they, “PREACHED THE THINGS CONCERNING
THE KINGDOM OF GOD.” (Acts 8:12,12:8,20:25,28:23)
If God’s Kingdom is this important to our faith then surely it
demands our attention if we are to be true disciples. Jesus
said, “ SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND HIS RIGHTEOUNESS AND
ALL THESE THINGS WILL BE ADDED TO YOU.” (Matthew 6:33;)
Yes, we need to truly understand that the promise of HEAVEN is
here on this EARTH, where Jesus Christ will set up His Fathers
Government and those to whom are HIS CHOSEN will help in RUNNING
AND RULING IN THIS GOVERNMENT. But that has to be UNDERSTOOD
first.
Our Father in Heaven WILL NOT USE INDIVIDUALS IN HELPING RULE
AND REIGHN IN HIS KINGDOM WHO DOES NOT UNDERSTAND THE PRICCIPLES
OF THIS SONN COMING GOVERNMENT.
In Matthew ch19: 28,29,30 we read-
Verse 28; “(Jesus speaking) I TELL YOU THE TRUTH, AT THE RENEWAL
OF ALL THINGS, WHEN THE SON OF MAN SITS ON HIS GLORIOUS THRONE,
YOU WHO HAVE FOLLOWED ME WILL ALSO SIT ON TWELVE THRONES, (will
rule) JUDGING THE TWELVE TRIBES OF ISRAEL.” (This will be here
on EARTH)
Verse 29; “AND EVERYONE WHO HAS LEFT HIS BROTHERS OR SISTERS OR
FATHERS OR MOTHER OR CHILDREN OR FIELDS FOR MY SAKE (what Jesus
is saying here is that those who truly follow him will be
ridiculed and disowned by those mentioned, that is the price of
being a TRUE CHRISTIAN) WILL RECEIVE A HUNDRED TIMES AS MUCH AND
WILL INHERET ETERNAL LIFE.”
Verse 30; “BUT MANY WHO ARE FIRST WILL BE LAST AND MANY WHO ARE
LAST WILL BE FIRST.” (In other words, those who believe that
they may be doing what God has commanded, may not be doing so
and may very well wind up being at the end of all things. Jesus
Christ said that there would be those that would be the LEAST in
the Kingdom of God. They would be in the Kingdom of God but
their REWARD would not be as they had expected it should be.)
Notice Matthew ch 5; 19;
Verse 19; “ANYONE WHO BREAKS ONE OF THE LEAST OF THE
COMMANDMENTS ( they HAVE NOT BEEN DONE AWAY) AND SHALL TEACH
OTHERS TO DO THE SAME WILL BE CALLED THE LEAST IN THE KINGDOM OF
HEAVEN, BUT WHOSOEVER PRACTICES AND TEACHES THESE COMMANDS WILL
BE CALLED GREAT IN THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.”
God’s Kingdom with the added advantage of ‘authority’ will be
established when Jesus Christ returns, “FOR HE MUST REIGN TILL
HE HAS PUT ALL ENEMIES UNDER HIS FEET” 1Corinthians 15:25
Speaking of KING JESUS, the prophet Jeremiah said: “ BEHOLD, THE
DAYS ARE COMING, SAYS THE LORD, THAT I WILL RAISE TO DAVID A
BRINCH OF RIGHTEOUNESS; A KING SHALL REIGN AND PROSPER, AND
EXECUTE JUDGEMENT AND RIGHTEOUNESS IN THE EARTH. (The saints
will help Him do this here on this EARTH) IN HIS DAYS JUDAH WILL
BE SAVED, AND ISRAEL WILL DEWELL SAFELY; NOW THIS IS THE NAME BY
WHICE HE WILL BE CALLED, THE LORD OF OUR RIGHTEOUNESS.”
(Jeremiah 23; 5-6)
Now to revelation ch 20; 4,5,6,
Verse 4; “(N.I.V) I SAW THRONES ON WHICH WERE SEATED THOSE (the
saints) WERE SEATED WHO HAD BEEN GIVEN AUTHORITY TO JUDGE. AND I
SAW THE SOULS OF THOSE WHO HAD BEEN BE-HEADED BECAUSE OF THEIR
TESTIMONY FOR JESUS AND BECAUSE OF THE WORD OF GOD. THEY HAD NOT
WORSHIPED THE BEAST (this world government authority) OR HIS
IMAGE AND HAD NOT RECEIVED HIS MARK ON THEIR FOREHEADS OR THEIR
HANDS. THEY CAME TO LIFE AND REIGNED WITH CHRIST A THOUSAND
YEARS.”
VERSE 5; “THE REST OF THE DEAD DID NOT COME TO LIFE UNTIL THE
THOUSAND YEARS WERE ENDED (this is those that did not know Jesus
Christ, they will be given a chance to accept Him at that time.
God is a Just GOD) THIS IS THE FIRST RESURECTION.”
Verse 6; “BLESSED AND HOLY ARE THOSE WHO HAVE PART IN THE FIRST
RESURRECTION (those who are resurrected at Christ’s return, not
those at the end of the thousand years) THE SECOND DEATH HAS NO
POWER OVER THEM,( eternal death)BUT THEY WILL BE PRIESTS OF GOD
AND OF CHRIST AND WILL REIGN WITH HIM FOR A THOUSAND YEARS.”
When Jesus Christ does return He will establish His Father’s
Government here on this EARTH. Those who are His Chosen will
help in REIGNING and RULING THIS ON EARTH for ONETHOUSAND YEARS.
At the end of the THOUSAND YEARS, the rest of the DEAD, those to
whom have not accepted Jesus Christ will be RESURRECTED and will
have the opportunity to be His Son’s and Daughters. Then those
who do not accept will be put in HELL FIRE and will be BURNED
UP, WILL DIE THE SECOND DEATH.
I cannot even start to explain what God has in store for the
SAINTS after the THOUSAND YEARS for it is MIND BOGGELING and
something that INCLUDES THE WHOLE UNIVERSE.
I know that this may not set well with what some of you may have
been taught, but it is TRUTH. I pray that God will open you mind
to understand and God bless you and your family.
