If the kingdom of God has come – and the Bible emphatically states that it has – then the theory of premillennialism is heretical<\/p>\n
King Jesus isn’t coming back to establish His kingdom; He’s already done it. His sacrifice has provided a once-for-all remedy for sin, and the Spirit has provided and preserved the word of God so we can know it and do it. His resurrection has emphatically declared His status as the Son of God. Furthermore, King Jesus reigns now as He sits at the right hand of God until the time when He terminates the earth, brings time to a close, and takes His saved ones home to heaven.<\/p>\n
No, the next time He appears will be in the air and not on earth, and it will be for judgment; a judgment of salvation for some, and condemnation for others.<\/p>\n
We had better be ready.<\/p>\n
“He rescued us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son in whom we have redemption<\/em>” (Colossians 1:13-14).<\/p>\n
“When Jesus comes, it will be ‘to give relief to you who are afflicted’ … when the Lord Jesus will be revealed from heaven with His mighty angles in flaming fire, dealing out retribution to those who do not know God and to those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus<\/em>” (II Thessalonians 1:8).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
