not KGB, but KOG

The KOG aka Kingdom of God

What is it?
When is it?
Where is it?
and How is it?

Well i will first tell you my understanding of it and will go into details a little later.

The kingdom of God is in 2 parts:
The kingdom of God is little children, so innocent and simple, who love their father so much, They love him so much that they are constantly trying to do his perfect will. The second part of the KOG is that we are not perfect. So we fail at trying to do our fathers will,
BUT he forgives us, we are not left out high and dry, we forgives us and then encourages and loves us. The KOG is now and not yet. God gave us an example aka Jesus aka the word aka God's perfect will! He is the KOG incarnate. And we trying to live God's will can bring a sort of "heaven" on earth. Since we are sinful it will not be perfect, so the KOG will finally and completly arrive at the Resurrection.


I might be going out of order a bit but I'm too lazy to fix it, so here it goes...

eggizō - to bring near, to join one thing to another
2) to draw or come near to, to approach (Blue letter bible)

The NT authors use this word when referring to the kingdom as "at hand"
Jesus said, that the Kingdom is eggizo or at hand. that the kog is so close that you can touch it.
So what is it?
Jesus' world crashed into ours since his birth. When he came he being God's perfect will incarnate, fused or eggizoed our earthly kingdom with his Heavenly.

So when is it?

Its Now and Not Yet...
Mike Erre gave this message and i will try to retell you it but if you want you can just listen to it

So he says that the KOG is now meaning Jesus has come and presented it to us by his life. It is also not yet, because it will come in full when Christ returns at the Resurrection.

The thing about the KOG is that God left it to us. The lord's prayer, says Your Kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. So we get to advance the kingdom by doing Gods will on earth. Rob bell says we can bring the kingdom closer with every good deed and we can bring the second coming closer.

I disagree, he was on the right track but took a wrong term. By doing Gods will, we advance the kingdom and bring a "heaven" on earth. This heaven is a mere earthly representation of heaven and is not even close to being the real thing. The reason for that is of sin.

The second half of the kingdom which separates itself from all of the earthly kingdoms, is its love ad forgiveness.

Hashem rahessed its a English version of Hebrew it means:
God is full of loving kindness.
Do remember Sunday school stories of Jonah and the big fish? Its funny they only talk about the first 3 chapters which is fine if you just want a nice story, the final chapter gives it meaning. Jonah is mad and pouting b/c God forgave Nineveh. He is mad b/c of god's forgiveness and his loving kindness.

God is like that for us. We fail miserably at fulfilling his will, but he forgives us and asks us to Tesha vah (bad English to Hebrew) or turn around and seek his will

So the point of all this.

We need to seek God's will everyday so that we will further his heavenly kingdom here on earth.
We need to pray for god to show us his will, and for him to give us the strength to fulfill it. We also need to pray for love. We need to show the love and forgiveness that God has given us, to other people.

So I Challenge you, Embark upon this God glorified, and the real ordained crusade, not a crusade of violence and slaughter, but a crusade revealing God's will and loving kindness

God rules,
