WHAT DOES IT MEAN THAT THE LAST DAYS ARE A CROSSING OVER TO KINGDOM AGE
Since the story of God began with us, He wanted to extend His kingdom on earth through man, whom He made in His image and likeness! But the first man fell and lost his image and likeness, and Satan took control of the earth, and man no longer lived in the garden, but went out to a land that grows thorns and thistles for him. And when the Lord slaughtered an animal in order to cover the first man with his skin, as it is written, “And the Lord God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them .” It was the first sign indicating the heart of the Lord filled with the fire of love for the redemption of man and restoring of the original plan to establish His kingdom on earth under the leadership of man, who should be like God And on His image!
The Lord began to move forward towards achieving this original goal, and led His people from one stage to another, through the course of the natural time of man and also through divine interventions at specific times, which we call "divine times", and these interventions were occurring from one divine time to another divine time. And in the times of these divine times, great changes occur that express great advancement in human history, towards achievement the kingdom of God on earth which comes to us successively from time to time until the time of the end comes when the second coming of Jesus Christ happened as the King of kings, to reign on earth forever.
Here are examples of different consecutive crossing over times:
The time of the flood was a time of crossing over from "every imagination of the thoughts of the human heart is only evil every day" to a new beginning and a new covenant with Noah and his family.
It was the first time in human history, that after the fall, the Lord makes a covenant with "man."
The exodus of the people of Israel from the land of Egypt was a time of crossing over from the cruel bondage of Pharaoh to a time of freedom, worship, and feasting in the wilderness to the Lord. "so I see the blood and cross over you.” It was the time of an early revelation about the blood of Christ’s cross on Golgotha.
The entry of the people of Israel into the Promised Land was a time of crossing over from wandering in the wilderness to the land of inheritance that flows with milk and honey. ”as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests that bear the ark of the LORD, the LORD of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of Jordan, that the waters of Jordan shall be cut off from the waters that come down from above; and they shall stand upon an heap." And it was the beginning of possession of the land and the beginning of establishing the Kingdom of Israel in the Old Testament.
The birth of Christ was the time of a huge transition from “the likeness of the heavenly places” to the “heavenly things themselves.” It is written in the Epistle to the Hebrews: “For Christ did not enter into the sanctuaries made with hands that are like the true ones, but into heaven itself, now to appear before the face of God for us” (Heb 9:24). ), the time of the tearing of the veil of the Temple and our entry into the Holy Places, to meet with the Father, face to face, because of the blood of Christ. The birth, death, and resurrection of Christ ushered humanity into a completely new time and era, which is a time of amazing revelation of God's kingdom on earth on a spiritual level through the "new birth of the believers." Jesus said to Nicodemus: “ Verily, verily, I say to you: Unless someone is born from above, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” God" "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless someone is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.”
In Christ, through His first coming, through the incarnation, we have the possibility to see and enter the kingdom spiritually through the new birth. The king came and brought the kingdom with him, and we have the right to say that his kingdom has become within us.
“Behold, the kingdom of God is within you” (Luke 17:21).
So what is the meaning of Christ's second coming as a crossing over to the kingdom age!
The Bible is full of revelations and verses that tell of the coming of Jesus as King who will reign over the earth and will make us reign with Him! This is the old intention and the original plan that was lost by the fall of the first man, and which Christ recovered for us through His redemption through His death on the cross and His resurrection from the dead.
Jesus is the eternal Son of God, but he is also the unique incarnate human being in the image and likeness of God.
Jesus became our last Adam! (1 Corinthians 15:45) And he paid the price in order to restore the kingdom to us on earth through his royal leadership over us as his people.
" 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." Daniel 2:44
" I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed."
Daniel 7:13
" And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one." Zechariah 14:9
" And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.". Revelation 11:15
The true meaning of the last days is that at the end of the story of this present time, we await our Savior, the victorious King Jesus Christ, to reign, and we shall reign with Him. It's our crossing over to the kingdom age!
Get ready because you will reign with him, wear your royal clothes, he will make you win in your battles, strive so that no one takes your crown, watch out because at an hour you do not expect, the king will come!
" He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:" (Luke 1:32)
