Three Stages of the Kingdom

The Now Kingdom, The Millennium Kingdom, the Eternal Kingdom.

THE NOW KINGDOM

The Now Kingdom is the one restored by Jesus Christ when He came here on earth 2,000 years ago. This is the Kingdom He was referring to when He said “Repent, for the Kingdom of God is here!”.

He did not pull out this Kingdom when he returned to Heaven. Instead, He left it to man through His disciples and He sent the Holy Spirit to reestablish it here on earth. During the fall of man, this Kingdom was recalled to Heaven. But now, it is here on earth.

The Now Kingdom is the present government of God which is ruled by the Holy Spirit through man. The Holy Spirit is dwelling in man. He (the Holy Spirit) is the Kingdom of God here on earth. He is the Governor here on earth. The Holy Spirit is called the “Governor” because, He was sent to colonize this planet. To colonize, in this context, means “to develop the earth like Heaven for its original design used to be like Heaven “.

The Now Kingdom is the present government of God which is ruled by the Holy Spirit through man.

But when man fell into sin, everything was affected and deteriorated. The climate, prior to the fall of man, used to be perfect. Like in the Garden of Eden, there was cool of the day, even without the use of air conditioners. But today, this climate has changed. It has become extremely hot because of the disorder in creation which, eventually, was destroyed.

Therefore, the work of the Holy Spirit is to bring order to creation through man. This is a partnership task between the Holy Spirit and man. The Holy Spirit “will not” without man and man “can not” without the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is a spirit being and the earth and its creation are physical. So, the Holy Spirit will not work directly on earth without a physical body. Thus, the Holy Spirit needs to partner with man to implement his assignment here on earth. On the part of man, he cannot implement God’s purpose here on earth without the Holy Spirit, because it is the Holy Spirit who receives God’s instructions and passes them to man for implementation.

This Kingdom is God’s response to man’s needs; it is God’s remedy to every man’s problem. That is why Jesus Christ said,

“Seek ye first His kingdom and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you”

Matthew 6:33

During the time of Jesus Christ, He had this Kingdom on His shoulder, and wherever He went, there was a great impact of this Kingdom to the people. For example, if the people needed food, He easily responded to their needs through this Kingdom. He did not only have the product but also, He had the “factory” (the Kingdom) with Him.

The Kingdom provides anytime, anywhere.

When they needed healing, He can easily heal them because He did not only have the medicine but He had with Him the entire “ministry of health”. This means the whole government of the Kingdom of Heaven is activated whenever there is a need. That is how this Kingdom operates. It can provide anytime and anywhere. It can provide bread even at the middle of the dessert where there is no bakery, no supermarket, no store, nothing at all.

This Kingdom has supreme power. When we say supreme power, it means that it supersedes all power. It is above all power. Nothing can influence this Kingdom outside its power. It sets time and events here on earth that no one could question – even the most powerful man.

The problem with the so-called “Christians” today is that when they hear about this Kingdom, they argue that this will still be on the millennium. They do not understand the stages of the Kingdom. The fact is, this is a different stage from the Millennium Kingdom. If that is your understanding concerning this Kingdom, then you cannot enjoy its benefits. You cannot enjoy something that you keep on postponing. You cannot enjoy something that is ahead of you. It has to be at the present.

The Now Kingdom is the Holy Spirit and man in partnership.

THE MILLENNIUM KINGDOM

This is the second stage of the Kingdom which shall be ruled by the Lord Jesus Christ for a thousand years.

During this time, there will only be one government that will rule here on earth. The government of Satan will be suspended for a thousand years and Satan and his evil forces will be detained during this period. Therefore, there shall be peace throughout this earth. Wow! What a life that would be! Imagine…for how many thousands of years, this earth has never experienced peace after the fall.

There will also be joy and abundance during this period because this is what the government of God manifests. All religions will cease during this time because Christ Himself will reveal the truth about the way to the Kingdom. Religion is a man-made way to the Kingdom. It was just introduced by man after the fall. Prior to the fall, there was no existence of religion. There was man here on earth and there was God. They directly communicate with each other without the need of any religion. As simple as that! Man enjoyed fellowship with God without religion.

During the Millennium stage, once again, man can enjoy fellowship with God through His Son Jesus Christ. Christ will expose those who are professing believers. He will acknowledge those who belong to Him and they will reign with Him for a thousand years. The dead will come back to life, the living will be caught up with Him on the air, and they will be given a glorified body. They cannot die anymore because a glorified body or resurrected body has no possibility of dying again. Blessed are those who qualify themselves for this Millennium Kingdom!

He will acknowledge those who belong to Him and they will reign with Him for a thousand years.

At the end of this stage, Satan will be freed and he will gather his cohorts to wage war against the people of God but fire from Heaven will destroy them and they will be thrown into hell and be tortured forever and ever, according to the Bible (Revelation 20:7-10). At this time, the best is yet to come because the Final Kingdom or the Eternal Kingdom is about to take place. Wow! Fasten your seatbelt man!

Things that are beyond your imagination and beyond your comprehension are about to come to pass. Things you have never seen before! They are at the door knocking and are about to be revealed to you.

Brace yourself for the next stage of the Kingdom…

THE ETERNAL KINGDOM

This is the third and final stage of the Kingdom. This is the closing ceremony and at the same time, the opening ceremony. Closing ceremony, because the old order of things will finally cease – the pains, the sorrows, the poverty, the sicknesses, the struggles, the failures, sins and all the works of Satan will finally be eradicated. All these things will not be allowed anymore in this Kingdom. Opening ceremony, because of the unveiling of new things. No more sorrows, no more crying, no more fear, no more murder, no more quarrels, no more theft and no more Satan – for he will be in hell already. And finally, there will be peace and joy!

In the Now Kingdom, Satan is present; in the Millennium Kingdom, Satan will be detained; and in the Eternal Kingdom, Satan will be jailed forever and ever. So, the Now Kingdom is very challenging because Satan is around. Yet, he is our best equipment for our practice of dominion. That is why God put him on earth and not on another planet. There was a time when I asked God why He had to throw Satan here on earth when there are other planets where he could be thrown into. I also told Him, “A good father will not put anything harmful around his child”. So why did he put Satan around us?

And He answered, “The reason why I threw Satan there on earth is for your practice of dominion”.

This planet earth will be destroyed and will be changed into a new one. There will be no more change of climate. There will be perfect environment and temperature that you do not need to install air conditioners in your room. Just like during the time of Adam, there was cool of the day even without the use of any cooling equipment.

God the Father and Jesus Christ, His Lamb, will rule this Eternal Kingdom together with His people. The center of this Kingdom here on earth will be in the city of the New Jerusalem (“Jeru” means city and “Salem” means peace). So, the headquarter of the Great King means “city of peace” which will come down from Heaven. Yes, even the present Heaven will be destroyed and will be changed into a new one. During this stage, everything will be new. And the old ones will not be remembered anymore. Your previous failures and enemies will be forgotten.

There will be no temple in this Kingdom because God and His Christ will be the temple. Any temple that was built after the fall of man was temporary until Christ. When Christ came, He abolished the temple because the temple now is not made of stones or rocks but man himself. Man, now is the temple of the Holy Spirit. Before, man was tasked by God to rule this planet earth. So, “man on earth” and “God in Heaven”. The man managed the earth – the “branch office” and God managed the Heaven – the “head office”.

From time to time, God visits His partner – the man here on earth. God never intended to bring man to Heaven but He will just come down to have fellowship with man. Even during the Eternal Kingdom, God will not bring man to Heaven to be with Him forever, but God will bring down Heaven to become the New Jerusalem, which, I believe, is the New Heaven. So now, God and man are both here on earth forever and ever. There will be no more separation between the two. Satan was successful to separate the two, but God made a way for the two to become united again.

We can see in the Bible how determined God is to bring back His relationship with man. He did not only bring redemption to man but also union. For, how can He separate Himself from His image and His likeness – the man? God cannot separate Himself from His glory – the man! Wow! You are the glory of the Great King who owns the whole universe! Our stay here on earth is just temporary, so we look forward to a permanent dwelling and that is the New Earth, which is under the government of the Eternal Kingdom.

God cannot separate Himself from His glory –man

Only those who qualify themselves are allowed to enter into this Kingdom. We don’t only enter into this Kingdom but reign with Him forever and ever. We can see how important man is to God. During the Now Kingdom, man is in charge of the planet earth (Genesis 1:28); in the Millennium Kingdom, man will be involved in the ruling and reigning of Christ here on earth; and in the Eternal Kingdom, man, again, will be involved in ruling and reigning of the New Earth. Why? It is because the earth is made for man. If not for man, God will not bother to create the earth.

Those who stand firm to the end will not only enter into this Kingdom but also will be involved with God in the management of the New Earth. Those who hold on to the teachings of the Kingdom, those who overcome persecutions, insults, pains, temptations & works of the Enemy, and those who persevere are qualified in this stage.

I challenge everyone who reads this message to qualify himself into this Kingdom. This is our everlasting hope. Our present hope is the Now Kingdom. It is God’s response to our everyday needs. The Millennium Kingdom is our future hope and the Eternal Kingdom is our everlasting hope. So, if you are in the Kingdom, you never lose hope. Whether in the present or future time – hope is always waiting for you.

Yes, in this world, we experience troubles, persecutions, pains and failures, but it is all worth it. Good things that await us are far beyond these things. Our failures now are just temporary, but the good things that await us are eternal. So just hold on, you are about to meet the King, the Great King of the universe. He is about to shake hands with you. He is about to commend you and the great celebration is about to take place. It is a welcome party actually! And the Great King will say, “IT IS DONE”! (Revelation 21:6). He waited for thousands of years just to say these words to you. These are very simple words but it took thousands of years before these are finally spoken. May we hear these words together from the mouth of the Great King!
