Forward:

More surely than anything I know, God specifically called me, over 30 years ago, to preach; “The Kingdom of Heaven is at Hand”. My instructions, in effect, were to take this message to Christians.     In order for me to teach anything about it, God first had to root out and pull down a lot of my inherited, traditional understanding of scriptures, and then build and plant again.  This has been a process… “Wow”, what a journey. How much more needs to be rooted out and pulled down, how much more to be revealed? 

In referencing scripture I have used the King James Bible, except in those cases I have noted.  Spiritual meaning in the Bible, is typically hidden in metaphors and types and some translations I have seen tend to distort these hidden messages, in spite of their well meaning intentions.  Even so, other translations add clarification when the King James is not so clear. I am not a King James only advocate.  

The truth is liberating, and anything less than the truth applied in a persons life may result in more wailing and gnashing of teeth this side of the grave than necessary.   The truth and the plan God has for us, has fantastic potential.  Gods’ truth has potential for individuals, families, nations and as a matter of fact, for the whole creation.  If we think we have a corner on all of God’s truth, or God’s word, we are kidding ourselves.  There is much misunderstanding to be corrected and yet much more to understand.  Paul, in 1 Corinthians 13: wrote; “For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.”

So let us in humility, ask God to further root out and pull down those things that hinder us, and offend the truth.   Let us further seek God for His truth, and pray that He will open the eyes of our spiritual understanding that we might understand the mystery of the Kingdom.  The Mystery that was hidden from Angels, and men, but now is ready to be revealed through the Spirit of God to those who are His and seek His truth through Jesus Christ.

 Mark 4:11  And He said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the  mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:

Romans 16::25-26  Now to Him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began, But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:

1 Corinthians 2:7  But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the world unto our glory:

Ephesians 3:1-6  1.  For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,2.  If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: 3.  How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, 4.  Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ) 5.  Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; 6.  That the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:

Ephesians 6:19  And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,…
