Bible Study - Is The Kingdom of Heaven / Kingdom of God ONLY "Within You"?
Bible Study - Is The Kingdom of Heaven / Kingdom of God ONLY "Inside You"?

From The Lord's Prayer...

- The Father's Kingdom
- The Father's Will
- The Father's Forgiveness
- The Father's Power
- The Father's Glory

...

Some folks claim that because Jesus said this in Luke....

Luke 17

20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:

21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.


...that the "kingdom of heaven / kingdom of God" doesn't exist anywhere else BUT inside each person.

.......

That "theory" overlooks the facts that...

1. Both Jesus and the Holy Spirit were SENT FROM heaven - NOT from "within" people.

2. Jesus ASCENDED up to heaven - towards the clouds. That wasn't "within" anyone either.

Here's some more critical questions of that faulty conclusions / doctrine.

1. So The Father's throne and the seraphim are "inside of us"?

2. Is a new heaven going to happen "INSIDE US" when Christ returns?

3. Is a new earth going to be formed INSIDE US?

4. So the "New Jerusalem" descends "into us" - and NOT "down to earth"?

5. So...when we die we go "into our own selves"?????

6. So Ezekial was taken "inside himself" instead of heaven ABOVE?

7. So the throne and seraphims that Isaiah saw in Chapter 9 were "inside himself"?

8. So the throne and other things John described in Revelation were "inside himself"?

9. How about Enoch? Was everything he described actually "inside himself"?

10. So when God TOOK Enoch - He took him to "inside himself"?

11. So the "paradise" that Paul was taken "UP" to was "inside Himself"?

12. Jesus ASCENDED "into people" - NOT into heaven above???

13. So "the Father's house" and the "many mansions" that Jesus talks about - are ALL inside of US - where YOU say the kingdom of God exists?

14. So the Father SENT Jesus from "inside ourselves"?

15. So the Father SENDS the Holy Spirit from "inside ourselves"?

16. So when Elijah was taken by the chariot, he was taken to "inside himself"?

17. ALL the souls under the alter in Revelation 6:9 are "inside us"???

18. So where is the "heaven" that is refered to in the Lord's Prayer?

Matthew 6

9 In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name.

10 Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven.



Luke 11:2 And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.

19. The Holy Ghost IS NOT sent "down FROM Heaven"?

1 Peter 1:12 Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did
minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the
Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.

The whole Bible is a teaching through metaphors. Of course the kingdom is inside you. They teach the opposite to keep you in a mental state of helplessness.

NONSENSE

Some IS metaphors.
Some of it are parables.

A good portion is just straight up language.

I dare say...the "elect" are NOT within / inside of us.

Matthew 24

29 Immediately* after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other*.


...Jesus WILL NOT descend "from within" us.

1 Thessalonians 4

14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

...New Jerusalem WILL NOT descend "from within" us.

Revelation 21:2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

Matthew 10:7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Matthew 11:11 Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

Matthew 11:12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.

Matthew 13:11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

Matthew 13:24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:

Matthew 13:31 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:

You could hardly call something translated three times and then edited countless times "straight up language".

We are all fragments of God, it means your soul is divine. When you die you return to this primordial state of being, think of this as a waking dream. That's how it's within.

It becomes all to clear when you research flat earth and abandon the mainstream model of billions and billions of this and that. We didn't evolve from primordial soup. Your great great great (x1000) grandpa wasn't a fish. Genesis explicitly states the Earth was created before the sun, moon, and stars. We are the center of creation and the kingdom of heaven is right above us. Sounds crazy, I know. I would have thought so 5 years ago.

The word "heaven" occurs 582 times in 550 verses in the KJV.

[link to www.blueletterbible.org (secure)]

FAR too many verses to post.

The nice thing about the weblink is that if you click on a specific "book/chapter/verse" link, it will take you to the Chapter, where you can read surrounding verses ("passage").

Regardless of translations and edits, the Bible is STILL the history of God's interaction with mankind / humanity.

It contains all the necessary instructions for Belief and Salvation.

Sorry - I don't agree with your gnostic-type gnonsense.

There's a reason Jesus warns about the "end times" and "coming judgement".

And it's CLEAR that anyone found "lacking" will be tossed into the lake of fire.

First look at how the Heliocentric model explains it. They don't say much more than it's gravity induced. Induced how? Why? From what source?

I'm no expert on this, but I do know an Astrolabe from over 1000 years ago will still match up with the heavens perfectly. If we were really travelling 66,000 MPH around the sun whilst travelling 490,000 MPH around the center of the galaxy would that be the case? A five year old has already supposedly travelled over a billion miles on this rock, yet the stars will still be in the same place on a specific day of the year as they always have been.

This app will answer a lot of your basic questions regarding seasons and how the sun moves through the zodiac over the year.

This time...in answer to Pilate's questions about Jesus being a "king"

Good question, I think the Kingdom of Heaven has different meanings, but the "Within You" meaning means that Special feeling You get when You feel right with God

But it also refers to those Who are allowed into the Kingdom of God in the Afterlife (where the unforgiven sinful people are not allowed to enter)

WHAT IS THE KINGDOM OF GOD???

Daniel 2:44 (KJV) And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.
Matthew 4:17 (KJV) From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Matthew 9:35 (KJV) And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.

And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;
For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.


DOES THIS KINGDOM (GOVERNMENT) HAVE A KING???

Isaiah 9:6 (KJV) For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
John 18:36-37 (KJV) 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 J*e_w+s: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.
(PSALM 110:1... The LORD said to my Lord:
“Sit at My right hand (until I) make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”
JESUS CANNOT BE MICHAEL... REVELATION 12:7-9... Then a war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. But the dragon was not strong enough, and no longer was any place found in heaven for him and his angels. And the great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him)


DOES THIS KINGDOM (GOVERNMENT) HAVE OTHER RULERS IN IT???

Luke 22:29-30 (KJV) And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me;
That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
Revelation 5:9-10 (KJV) And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
Revelation 20:4 (KJV) And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.


WILL THIS KINGDOM GOVERNMENT RULE FROM HEAVEN OR ON THE EARTH???

Revelation 5:9-10 (KJV) For thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
Revelation 20:4 (KJV) and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
Revelation 21:1-3 (KJV) And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
John 14:2-3 (KJV) In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
1 Corinthians 13:12 (CEV) Now all we can see of God is like a cloudy picture in a mirror. Later we will see him face to face. We don't know everything, but then we will, just as God completely understands us.


WHO AND WHAT WILL THIS KINGDOM (GOVERNMENT) RULE OVER???

Romans 6:23 (KJV) For the wages of sin is death;
Acts 24:15 (KJV) And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.
John 5:28-29 (KJV) Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
Revelation 20:12-13 (KJV) And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.


FOR HOW LONG WILL THIS KINGDOM (GOVERNMENT) RULE???

Revelation 20:2-4 (KJV) And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.


WHAT IS OUR HOPE???

Ephesians 4:4-6 (KJV) There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
Revelation 5:9-10 (KJV) For thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
John 6:53-58 (KJV) Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.
This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.
John 6:40 (KJV) And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
1 Thessalonians 4:16 (KJV) For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
1 Corinthians 15:50-52 (KJV) Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
Matthew 26:29 (KJV) But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.


WHEN IS JESUS CHRIST COMING BACK???

Matthew 24:36-39 (KJV) But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Acts 1:7 (KJV) And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
Luke 12:40 (KJV) Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.
Revelation 1:7 (KJV) Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him.
Matthew 24:27 (KJV) For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Matthew 24:40-41 (KJV) Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
ACTS 1:9-11... After He had said this, they watched as He was taken up, and a cloud hid Him from their sight. They were looking intently into the sky as He was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them. “Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen Him go into heaven.”


SO WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO???

John 6:40 (KJV) And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
Hebrews 10:24-25 (KJV) And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
1 Corinthians 11:23-26 (KJV) For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:
And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.
Matthew 28:19-20 (KJV) Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.
John 13:35 (KJV) By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
Matthew 7:13-14 (KJV) Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.


JESUS CHRIST INVITES ALL OF US TO COME BE HIS FOLLOWERS...

1 Corinthians 2:9 (KJV) But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

Good question, I think the Kingdom of Heaven has different meanings, but the "Within You" meaning means that Special feeling You get when You feel right with God

But it also refers to those Who are allowed into the Kingdom of God in the Afterlife (where the unforgiven sinful people are not allowed to enter)
 Quoting: luke the duke

Revelation 22:15

Outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood

For they shall be judged according to their a works, and every man shall receive according to his own works, his own dominion, in the mansions which are prepared;

112 And they shall be a servants of the Most High; but where God and Christ dwell they cannot come, worlds without end.

And thus we saw the a glory of the celestial(Kingdom of God), which excels in 143all things—where God, even the Father, reigns upon his throne forever and ever;

These are they who are a honorable men of the earth, who were blinded by the craftiness of men


Kingdom 3
102 Last of all, these all are they who will not be a gathered with the saints, to be caught up unto the church of the Firstborn, and received into the cloud.

103 These are a they who are liars, and sorcerers, and adulterers, and whoremongers, and whosoever loves and makes a lie.

You could hardly call something translated three times and then edited countless times "straight up language".

We are all fragments of God, it means your soul is divine. When you die you return to this primordial state of being, think of this as a waking dream. That's how it's within.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 45621640

Regardless of translations and edits, the Bible is STILL the history of God's interaction with mankind / humanity.

It contains all the necessary instructions for Belief and Salvation.

Sorry - I don't agree with your gnostic-type gnonsense.

There's a reason Jesus warns about the "end times" and "coming judgement".

And it's CLEAR that anyone found "lacking" will be tossed into the lake of fire.
 Quoting: Servant-of-the-LORD


It unfolds & happens inside of you. Everything from the Old Testament to what is fulfilled from the OT the NT to Christ being resurrected in you. Hard to believe until it happens to you. It’s not secular history it is literally about you. Search your dreams & visions & when they start it’s exactly 1,260 days from the sign of the birth of the child to the decent of the dove. It is all within. Don’t take my word for it. Study the Bible, ask God if it’s true & wait for it to unfold.

Re: Bible Study - Is The Kingdom of Heaven / Kingdom of God ONLY "Within You"?



The Seven Seals

Written by Samael Aun Weor
Category: Kundalini Yoga: The Mysteries of the Fire
Created: 23 December 1955

1. When we have formed our inner Christ, He then enters into all of our vehicles through the pineal gland.

2. The inner Christ has the shape of a small child. He comes out from within his Ethereal womb to enter into our physical body through the pineal gland.

3. This is the descent of Christ into the atomic infernos of the human being.

4. This is the Nativity of the heart.

5. It is how we transform ourselves into Christs.

6. Nature does not leap; this is why our inner Christ is born within us as a small child.

7. The three wise men (the Malachim) adore him and offer him gold, incense, and myrrh.

8. These three King Magi are the Innermost, the Divine Soul, and the Human Soul (Atman-Buddhi-Manas).

9. The Star of Bethlehem is the Central Sun; it is the Great Universal Breath of Life.

10. Our inner Christ is only one particle of that spiritual Central Sun.

11. The entire universe of Pleroma, the whole thought of God, is reflected within our inner Christ.

12. Our inner Christ is the Word.

13. The Word becomes flesh within our heart with the event of Bethlehem.

14. We must clearly distinguish between the seven churches and the seven seals mentioned in Revelation.

15. The seven churches are related to the seven chakras of our spinal column.

16. The seven seals are the seven white spiritual serpents of our inner Christ.

17. These seven serpents are the spiritual part of the seven columns of fire of Devi Kundalini.

18. The seven serpents of our inner Christ are no longer fiery, but rather they are beyond fire, even though they are the cause of fire.

19. These are the seven seals of the Revelation of St. John.

20. These seven seals can be opened only by the Lamb, our inner Christ.

21. And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.

22. And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?

23. And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. - Revelation 5:1-3

24. The book is the human being, and the seven seals are the seven spiritual serpents of our Inner Christ.

25. These serpents can be raised only by the Lamb.

26. And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the Seals, and I heard as it were the voice of thunder, one of the four beasts saying: Come and see. - Revelation 6:1

27. The white horse appears as the symbol of the physical body when the Lamb opens the first seal.

28. The red horse appears as the symbol of the Ethereal body when the Lamb opens the second seal.

29. The black horse appears as the symbol of the body of desires (Astral Body) when the Lamb opens the third seal.

30. The wisdom of the great Illuminati is granted to us when the Lamb opens the fourth seal. This occurs when the inner Christ takes complete possession of the Mental Body of the human being. This is the yellow horse.

31. The Human Souls appear dressed in white garments when the Lamb opens the fifth seal.

32. The sun becomes dark like black cloth and the moon becomes as blood when the Lamb opens the sixth seal. Then we are stricken with great pain, because the consciousness does not awaken but through pain and bitterness.

33. Finally, the seven atomic Angels of our organism sound their trumpets in triumph, announcing victory when the Lamb opens the seventh seal.

34. And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. - Revelation 8:1

35. This is how the Child-God of Bethlehem grows within us.

36. The Child-God of Bethlehem has to be absorbed within all of his Bodhisattva. He performs this by raising his seven spiritual serpents.

37. So, when finally the Child-God of Bethlehem is absorbed within his Bodhisattva, he tosses his Bodhisattva back into the inner depths of the consciousness. This is how the Child-God comes from within to without, to the world of the flesh, to lean out through the five senses and to appear as a Christ among mankind, and thus to perform the Work of the Father.

38. Do not confuse the seven igneous serpents of the Soul with the seven totally Christic and spiritual serpents of the inner Christ.

39. The four horses of the Apocalypse are our four bodies of sin, the four gross bodies that constitute our inferior personality.

40. The Lamb has to raise each one of these Christic serpents in successive order; first one, then the other, and so on.

41. This work is very arduous and difficult.

42. The horseman on the white horse triumphs with his bow and arrow. Thus the physical world is dominated. The horseman on the red horse has the power to take the peace away and also to give peace because the Ethereal body is the base of the physical body.

43. The horseman on the black horse has to vanquish the weight of desire, lust, greed, and all the lower passions.

44. The name of the horseman of the yellow horse is Death; and hell and death follow him because the Mental body is constituted by the atomic infernos of the human being, where death reigns.

45. All things that exist within the human mind belong to desire; therefore, they have to die.

46. All the thought-rubbish must fall dead before the temple doorway. This is why the name of the fourth horseman is Death. And all the bitterness from hell follows him.

47. The Earth is the twin sister of Venus.

48. All the events that happen on Earth are repeated on Venus.

49. The light of the Sun reaches Earth through Venus.

50. Venus receives three times more solar light than the Earth.

51. Venus is the solar light bearer.

52. The Genie of the Earth has to receive instructions from the Genie of Venus.

53. Uriel, the Genie of Venus, is the Master of Cham-Gam, the Genie of the Earth.

54. If the light of the Sun comes to Earth through Venus, then we have no other choice than to appeal to Venus in order to be able to reach the Solar Logos.

55. Venus is Love.

56. The Kundalini develops and progresses by means of Sexual Magic.

57. God shines over the perfect couple.

58. Sexual Magic was practiced in the Eleusinian Mysteries, along with the holy dances and naked dances to awaken and develop Devi Kundalini.

59. In the stone courtyards of the Aztec temples, young men and women remained sexually connected, loving each other for months in order to awaken Devi Kundalini.

60. There is no greater joy than love.

61. The only way men and women can transform themselves into Gods is by adoring each other. If it is not this way, it is a waste of time.

62. Venus is the first star that shines before the sunrise.

63. Venus is the first star that shines when the sun sets.

64. Venus is the Light-bearer.

65. Venus is love.

66. God shines over the beings who love each other.

Re: Bible Study - Is The Kingdom of Heaven / Kingdom of God ONLY "Within You"?
The "dwelling place" of the Lord is clearly seen in the Second Apartment of the Holy Temple. The Dead Sea Scrolls clearly teach that God has SEVEN temples in Heaven along with the Earthly Sanctuary that was destroyed on earth but preserved in Heaven.

Of those seven sanctuaries in the Scrolls, God has seven dwelling places in which he can travel anywhere in the universe. The Dead Sea Scrolls teach of all the "goings in thereof, and the goings out thereof", the laws and the ordinances, and SPECIFICALLY speak of certain prayers and psalms which perform special duties for the people of God--anywhere in the universe!!

Each one of those temples has gates which open up in different parts of space/time. This is how the Kingdom of God is accessible to all of his creations throughout all of space and time.

The Earthly Sanctuary, which is foretold to rebuilt in the last day in the sight of men, is an EXACT DUPLICATE of the heavenly sanctuary which MERGES with the Heavenly Sanctuary to allow space/time travel anywhere in space/time--without ever having to leave the local space/time in which they reside.

Satan has been fully aware of this since the beginning and has been INSTRUMENTAL in hiding the access to the Heavenly Sanctuary and hiding the ACTUAL SHAPE AND FUNCTION of the Earthly Sanctuary since the middle ages. Since that time, Satan has made sure that the PLACE that God chose as a permanent place for the earthly sanctuary has been cleverly hidden, and the shapes and functions of the sanctuary have also been cleverly hidden. It will all be revealed. The TIME for it to be revealed is now here among all the signs of the end times. It is the LAST revelation of God before the temple is restored and God returns to it with His Son to finish the final acts.

Read the versus in the ESV and it will come together. It does not mean the kingdom is "within" you, the kingdom is here and now, by going here or looking there you will see it. The book of Revelations flows this a bit better. Not sure if you have read the first book of Enoch, but it makes things a bit better when reading the bible since the Book of Enoch was the inspiration in many passages.

Re: Bible Study - Is The Kingdom of Heaven / Kingdom of God ONLY "Within You"?
nonsense eats itself......

Jesus 'ascended' into His/Our Father.

The New Jerusalem 'descends' into 'US'....meaning The Man 'formed' out of 'created' dust of the earth.
Where does all this take place? Scripture answers the question.

Jesus sits on The Throne,ONE THRONE.....at the RIGHT of The Father, sitting on ONE THRONE. Where is that ONE THRONE that has 2 SEATS? It is THE BRAIN with its 2 hemispheres.

What resides IN THE TEMPLE (forehead), the MIND of US the Son of Man.
THE WORD!
All there really is is THE WORD. With WORD(s) evil 'spells' over man.

With RIGHT-US WORD the false SPELL is destroyed.
ALL THERE IS IS WORD.....ONLY THE WORD IS WORTH SAVING.... ONLY THE WORD IS ABLE TO SAVE......ONLY THE WORD IS SAVED.

The WORD...is the WAY, the TRUTH, the LIFE.....as Jes-US said I AM.

Jesus ASCENDED TO the "right hand of the Father".

"right hand" occurs 44 times in 44 verses in the New Testament in the KJV.

...

Jesus doesn't say "I am who (that) I am".

His use of the phrase "I am" is uniqueness as the only-begotten son of God

Here's MORE times Jesus used the phrase "I am".

Mark 14:61-62

61 But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?

62 And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.


Luke 22:70 Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say that I am.

John 8:28-29

28 Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.
29 And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.


John 10:36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?

Re: Bible Study - Is The Kingdom of Heaven / Kingdom of God ONLY "Within You"?
To the Pharisees who asked when God’s Kingdom was coming, Jesus himself said: “The kingdom of God is not coming with striking observableness.” He added: “The kingdom of God is in your midst.” (Luke 17:20, 21) God’s appointed Ruler, Jesus, was among them! But those Pharisees refused to open their eyes to the evidence that he was fulfilling the Messianic prophecies and to accept him as “the Christ, the Son of the living God.”—Matthew 16:16.

The response to the truth proclaimed by Christ’s first-century disciples was similar. While miracles helped to demonstrate that God was supporting the disciples, the truth was still not plain to most.
(Acts 8:1-8; 9:32-41) Jesus commissioned his followers to “make disciples of people” by teaching them. As a result of listening and learning Scriptural truths, sincere seekers of truth became believers.—Matthew 28:19; Acts 5:42; 17:2-4, 32-34.

It is the same today. The “good news of the kingdom” is being “preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations.” (Matthew 24:14) This is not necessarily being done “with striking observableness”—in so obvious a way that every individual on earth will recognize it as a message from God. Yet, God’s truth is recognizable and strikes a responsive chord in honesthearted individuals who want to worship God in the way approved by him.—John 10:4, 27.

The fact that you are reading this shows that you are likely a sincere seeker of truth. How can you determine which religion is teaching it?
