Everlasting Kingdom

Everlasting Kingdom

The book MYSTERIES OF THE EVERLASTING KINGDOM is the result of my topical study of the Bible. It is actually a topical commentary on the Bible. It is dedicated to unraveling the marvelous secrets of God. That’s why so many passages are quoted. All of the precious truths of the Bible have been systematically replaced with pious sounding sectarian fables!

As it says in 2 Timothy: “But evil men and impostors [pretending to be ministers!] will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.” The Bereans had the right approach. With unfurled scrolls they challenged the assumptions of others, if not for others, at least for themselves. Click INTRODUCTION to read about why I wrote this book.

Also featured on this site is The Testimony of Yeshua (Jesus), the so-called “New Testament” in The Gabriel Version (GV). As soon as I read the book Was the New Testament Really Written in Greek? I came to believe that the so-called “New Testament” was really translated from the Aramaic Peshitta into Greek, and not the other way around. But there was not a contemporary English version of the Peshitta available without copyright restrictions (unless there is a really obscure one, like this). I “finished” this online version on 4-5-09, except for proofreading. It is the only completely modern Testimony of Yeshua’s words, based on His native Aramaic language, without the usual copyright restrictions. Yet just as Tyndale continued to tweek his translation until the day the church killed him, I intend to keep tweeking the Testimony of Yeshua.

In addition to my book, and the Testimony of Yeshua, there are many FEATURED ARTICLES from other people, either on this site or linked. These represent what I consider to be the best explanations for their respective topics that I am aware of. The mysteries explored are beyond basic “salvational issues”. To obtain a level of salvation, all that is necessary is what Yeshua (family and friends didnt know of any Jesus) told a young Jew—without even “bothering” to mention that He was the Savior of mankind. In fact the Savior of all mankind seemingly belittled His role in the salvation process, to this seeker of eternal life, by saying, “Why do you call Me good?”:

Matthew 19:16-17 Someone came to Him and asked, “Good Master, what good thing must I do to obtain eternal Life”? 17 He replied, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but the one, Aloha. But if you want to enter into eternal Life, OBEY THE COMMANDMENTS”. GV

Yet to become a “Messianic” or Nazarene (“Christian”) “Believer” tho, one must add to the Commandments “the Testimony of Yeshua”:

Revelation 12:17 The dragon was provoked to anger against the woman; and he went to war against her remaining survivors, who obey the Commandments of Yehovah, AND have the Testimony of Yeshua. GV

Revelation 14:12 Here is the patient endurance of the Faithful, who preserve the Commandments of Yehovah, and are fully convinced about Yeshua. GV

The desire to understand “the Testimony of Yeshua: --essentially everything that Yeshua taught--should manifest itself in an earnest desire to know everything that we can about “the Lord and His Christ”. Unfortunately, most of the Saints have carelessly delegated the search for truth to others. These others were themselves taught by “other others”. This may in part explain why Peter said that “ ... the righteous are barely saved”! People excuse their ignorance saying that they are not scholars, so that they can remain blissfully ignorant. Yet most of the truths of the Bible are so simple that a child can understand them.

Matthew 18:3-4 ...Then He said, “I tell you with certainty, unless you change your course and become like little children, you will never enter the Kingdom of the Heavens”. 4 So those who humble themselves, as this little child, are the greatest in the Kingdom of the Heavens. GV

So dont try to be as the scholars, be as humble as a child and be without biases in your approach to Bible study. Assume absolutely nothing as you begin to study a topic. In a word, “objectivity” is the virtue leading to “all truth”. Preconceived ideas will prevent God's spirit from helping you!

The Gnostics of old insisted that secret knowledge was the sign that you were enlightened in the knowledge of God. Modern “Gnostics” rest comfortably “knowing” that they are part of the “right corporate church” or that they can pronounce God's secret name correctly--as if it were a Gnostic password. Many people “know” that all of humanity is doomed to “hell” because they do not belong to their particular sect. Others “know” that you are “lost” because you have not chanted the words “save me Lord--take me just as I am” (so that you can remain deceived). And if your search for knowledge is for the purpose of showing off, then you may be judged with the Gnostics!

Matthew 7:21-23 Not everyone who merely calls to Me, “Master, Master”, will enter into the Kingdom of the Heavens; but only those who are obedient to My Father in the Heavens. 22 Many will ask Me in that Day, “Master, Master, havent we prophesied in Your name and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name done many wonders”? 23 Then I will tell them publicly, [see root words], “I never knew you. Get away from Me you Lawbreakers” GV.

On Judgment Day, Yeshua will NOT say, “You did not pronounce My name correctly. Depart from Me”. Or   “You didnt know the correct secret passwords—“Save me Jesus”. Rather, Yeshua really did not EVER “know” them! Their “relationship” had been totally imaginary in the mind of the “believer”, based upon a totally skewed false “knowledge” of the God of the Bible!

Truly converted people must not have more regard for “father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and our own lives also or we cannot be Yeshua’s disciples”. This being the case, shouldnt we be trying to “know” God better than we do our relatives?

Understanding the mysteries of the everlasting kingdom will not save you. Yet making no personal endeavors to get to know God will never reveal to a deceived mind that ones' relationship with God is totally imaginary! And of those who do have a real “knowledge” of God it appears to me that God has had to set the bar very low on knowledge, so that at least some could enter His Kingdom. But He has made no such concession for love. He maintains a very high standard concerning our love for our fellow man. Love gets the most weight in the balance on Judgment Day. Yet if you truly love God, you should want to know all about Him—more than only the minimal salvational requirements!

The following verses about knowledge will probably not surprise you, taken one at a time, but read topically—your being totally focused on God's perspective of knowledge, could inspire you to search more diligently:

Proverbs 1:7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Proverbs 11:9 The hypocrite with his mouth destroys his neighbor, but through knowledge, the righteous will be delivered.

Timing is everything:

Proverbs 12:23 A prudent man conceals knowledge, but the heart of fools proclaims foolishness.

Proverbs 15:7 The lips of the wise disperse knowledge, but the heart of the fool does not do so.

Proverbs 18:15 The heart of the prudent acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.

Ecclesiastes 7:12 For wisdom is a defense as money is a defense, but the excellence of knowledge is that wisdom gives life to those who have it.

Daniel 2:21 And He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and raises up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding.

Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.

1 Corinthians 13:2 And if I were to have the gift of sacred inspiration, and if I understood every mystery, and knew everything; and if I had all faith, so that I could move mountains, but lacked love, I would be nothing. GV

Ephesians 3:17-19 May the Messiah live in your minds by love thru faith. Then, being rooted and grounded in love; 18 may you be able to comprehend, with all the Saints, what the height and depth, and length and breadth is, 19 and may know the transcending knowledge of the Messiah’s love; and be filled to the brim with the abundance of Yehovah. GV

Colossians 2:2 for their peace of mind, being united together by love, attaining full assurance by a treasury of precise knowledge and understanding of the mysteries of Yehovah the Father, and of the Messiah. GV

2 Peter 3:18 But be growing in compassion, and in the knowledge of our Master and Life Giver Yeshua the Messiah, and of Yehovah the Father. The majesty is His, both now and for the rest of eternity. Aw-mane’. GV

Romans 10:1-4 Friends, my passionate desire, and my prayer to Yehovah on their behalf, is for their eternal Life. 2 I am a witness that they have a zeal for Yehovah; but it is not with precise and correct knowledge. 3 They dont know the righteousness of Yehovah, seeking rather to establish their own righteousness. So they have refused to submit themselves to the righteousness of Yehovah. 4 The Messiah is the aim and purpose of the Torah; a means of righteousness for everyone who believes in Him. GV
