The New Covenant KINGDOM of God was introduced to the world at Christ’s first coming in 26-30 ad. It is also described as the KINGDOM of heaven and the KINGDOM OF Christ. It involved the coming of the Messiah, Jesus Christ. It was first announced in 26ad by John the Baptist in the wilderness of Judea when he said, “Repent, for the KINGDOM of heaven is at hand!”– Matt 3:2

The New Covenant KINGDOM was just the beginning to developed when Christ taught about it to the Jews before His death on the Cross in 30ad. It was not FULLY ESTABLISHED until Christ’s second coming Parousia ending in 70ad. Jesus proclaimed that it was not a physical KINGDOM, but it was spiritual KINGDOM. It was a KINGDOM that was within His elect born-again believers, all of whom are in Christ by faith. -Luke 17:21. Each born-again believer in the KINGDOM is indwelt by the Holy Spirit. Therefore, only righteousness dwells in the KINGDOM. – 2 Pet 3:13

The KINGDOM is a spiritual, gospel, christian, KINGDOM; not a physical, Law of Moses, Jewish, KINGDOM. All laws, sacrifices, ceremonies, feasts, and days of the Old Covenant (old heavens) passed away with their fulfillment by Christ; along with the destruction of the nation of Israel, the city of Jerusalem, and the temple (old earth) in 70ad.

The New Covenant gospel, spiritual KINGDOM was then fully established in 70ad and continues on forever on earth throughout human history. The KINGDOM continues on earth and in heaven. God’s will be done on earth as it is in heaven. – Matt 6:10; Luke 11:2

As always, I’d like to end with my thoughts; and my thoughts are always going to align with the absolute FINISHED WORKS OF CHRIST AND THE CROSS! There is Not one Jot nor Tittle left undone nor incomplete in any text in HISSTORY! The scriptures are just that- they are the story of Christ, the son born unto us that would be named/called, Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace in whom the ‘government’ will rest on His shoulders. – Isa 9:6

If you read my blogs or follow my ministry, you know I am of the eschatology is that ALL IS FINISHED IN CHRIST! I find absolutely no need to go back to any Old Testament theologies, nor do I preach gloom and doom end of the world blasphemies.

I was of the dispensational belief once upon a time, (well I never really was, I just went with what the churches/ ministries were teaching) until the Holy Spirit convicted me to ‘study myself approved, by God not man!

‘ Study and do your best to present yourself to God approved, a workman [tested by trial] who has no reason to be ashamed, accurately handling and skillfully teaching the word of truth. 2 Tim 2:15

If we continue to go back to the O.T thoughts and ways we fail to understand what the lake of fire was and what was defeated. LAW, SIN and DEATH were defeated at the cross and thrown into the lake of fire (more on this subject soon)– the boogie man ‘satan’ was defeated also. There is so much in all that but the FINISHED WORKS OF THE CROSS, AND ALL SCRIPTUAL PROPHCIES WERE COMPLETE IN CHRIST! NOTHING MORE AND NOTHING LESS – (DO NOT ADD TO THE PROPHECY (SOMETHING MORE) AND DO NOT TAKE AWAY FROM THE PRHOPCEY (REMOVE CHRIST OR THE REDEMPTIVE CROSS) OR YOU SHALL ADD THE PLAUGES OF LIFE, AND YOU SHALL REMOVE Your part of the TREEOF LIFE; THAT IS CHRIST!

I, John, solemnly warn everyone who hears the prophetic words of this book: if any add anything to them, God will add to their punishment the plagues described in this book. And if anyone should take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, of those having been written in this book.- Rev 22:18-19

John wrote those words during the actual biblical tribulation and was already in the KINGDOM! I, John, your brother and companion in the tribulation and kingdom and patient endurance which are in Jesus, was on the island called Patmos, [exiled there] because of [my preaching of] the word of God [regarding eternal salvation] and the testimony of Jesus Christ.-Rev 1:9

So may we all continue to speak, preach, teach, share, the gospel KINGDOM to all we come across as we are all called to do as born-again believers! One generation goes and another generation comes, But the earth remains forever.- Ecc 1:4

All my forever KINGDOM LOVE IN CHRIST ❤ Diana xo, 🙂
