A Glimpse of the Christian Future in the Kingdom
This is a non-WLC article. When using resources from outside authors, we only publish the content that is 100% in harmony with the Bible and WLC current biblical beliefs. So such articles can be treated as if coming directly from WLC. We have been greatly blessed by the ministry of many servants of Yahuwah. But we do not advise our members to explore other works by these authors. Such works, we have excluded from publications because they contain errors. Sadly, we have yet to find a ministry that is error-free. If you are shocked by some non-WLC published content [articles/episodes], keep in mind Proverbs 4:18. Our understanding of His truth is evolving, as more light is shed on our pathway. We cherish truth more than life, and seek it wherever it may be found. |
What will it feel like to be in the Kingdom of Yahuwah on earth (Matt. 5:5; Rev. 5:10) when Yahushua the man Messiah (1 Tim. 2:5) returns to earth from his righthand seat in heaven (Rom. 8:34; Eph. 1:20) in the future (1 Thess. 4:16, 17)? I hope that many who doubt can imagine what it will be like without the current pitfalls of life, when there is no Kingdom yet established. Let’s project ourselves forward to the time when the promise to Abraham (Gen. 12:1-4) will be fulfilled and he will receive the land as well, which he never did (Acts 7:5).
Imagine...waking up one day and realizing that there is no more war ever. Imagine that the very thought of gunfire going off is now gone, and unthinkable. It is not even possible to hear it ever again. No one will contemplate killing a colleague human being destined for immortality. Think of how much more relaxed you will feel being able to walk the earth knowing that a bullet cannot strike you at all. You are impervious to all this. All the swords and guns, spears and bombs will be turned into farming equipment to till the earth, as surely we were meant to do (all of us). Yes, Yahuwah placed us here originally for the purpose of running the world properly. The place in which He made man was a garden. And man was made from that garden (soil) of the earth. He is part of it. The first Adam was made in the form or image of Yahuwah (Gen. 1:26) and the second Adam (Yahushua) was also made in the form or image of Yahuwah (1 Cor. 15:45; Phil. 2:6).
Life will no longer be a busybody affair of commodity and stocks. Military jets are obviously part of this association as well. No more hectic business will need to be done in such a rapid, “push push” concern for wealth, for there will be all the time necessary to accomplish anything in the will of Yahuwah that needs to be done by man under the sun.
The fruits and vegetables of the land will taste so rich in pure minerals and be the most satisfying taste ever, since only perfect hands made anew in the body of Messiah will be tending to their cultivation and care. The water that feeds them will be of the purest content, with no harsh chemicals or pesticides added. There will be no pests. The plagues on mankind will be gone! Premature death will be impossible, except for the incorrigible sinner.
“And the wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child will lead them” (Isa. 11:6).
“The wolf and the lamb will feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the ox; and dust will be the serpent’s food. They will not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, says Yahuwah. The earth will be full of the knowledge of Yahuwah as the waters cover the sea” (Isa 65:25; 11:9).
These are obvious signs that the Kingdom is to be on earth and that humans and animals will not be playing harps in heaven...
I, for one, will be happy to stop using this computer, and start working out in the sun, which will no longer be able to cause cancer to my flesh, or hurt me if I am out in it too long since our ozone layer will be restored to the way it was before all the aerosol cans, styrofoam, power plants, and catalytic converters destroyed it.
One thing is for certain: if we keep dwelling upon the downfalls of society today, we are led into the dark path of the evil one, and we will definitely fall...We cannot be focused on matters of unimportance when the light of the truth is here for us to keep first and foremost in all our affairs. We must preach the word of the Kingdom, and do it with spirit and truth, having a real zeal for our calling.
“Be on guard, so that your hearts will not be weighted down with dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of life, and that day will not come on you suddenly like a trap. For it will come upon all those who dwell on the face of all the earth. But keep on the alert at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are about to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man” (Luke 21:34-36).
“And so I solemnly urge you before Yahuwah and before Christ Yahushua — who will someday judge the living and the dead when he appears to set up his Kingdom: Preach the word of Yahuwah. Be persistent, whether the time is favorable or not. Patiently correct, rebuke, and encourage your people with good teaching. For a time is coming when people will no longer listen to right teaching. They will follow their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever they want to hear. They will reject the truth and follow strange myths. But you should keep a clear mind in every situation. Don’t be afraid of suffering for the Lord. Work at bringing others to Christ. Complete the ministry Yahuwah has given you” (2 Tim. 4:1-5).
I offer this to my fellow Kingdom believers with great love in hope of Christ and his coming Kingdom.

We have taken out from the original article all pagan names and titles of the Father and Son, and have replaced them with the original given names. Furthermore, we have restored in the Scriptures quoted the names of the Father and Son, as they were originally written by the inspired authors of the Bible. -WLC Team
