Stone Kingdom?greenspun.com : LUSENET : The Christian Church : One Thread |
The Stone Kingdom was to be cut out by God and used to destroy nations and kingdoms (Jer 51:19 KJV) "The portion of Jacob is not like them; for he is the former of all things: and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: the LORD of hosts is his name."(Jer 51:20 KJV) "Thou art my battle ax and weapons of war: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms;"
(Dan 2:34 KJV) "Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces."
(Dan 2:35 KJV) "Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth."
(Dan 2:45 KJV) "Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure."
(Mat 21:43 KJV) "Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof."
(Mat 21:44 KJV) "And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder."
Apparently the kingdom was taken from the Jewish Nation and given to a nation (Israel). Because...(Acts 1:6 KJV) "When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?"
(Acts 1:7 KJV) "And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power."

Praise God that we are "Come unto mount zion and unto the city of the living God, THE HEAVENLY JERUSALEM, AND TO AN INNUMERABLE COMPANY OF ANGELS, to the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judege of all, and to the spirits of just men MADE PERFECT. (Heb. 12:22,23)Praise God that we have received "A Kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverance and Godly fear" (Heb. 12:280

(Dan 7:27 KJV) "And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him."I am not sure of your position. Do you think we all go up to heaven or does heaven come here to earth as stated in the Word of God?
My position is that the Everlasting Kingdom will be restored to the TWELVE TRIBES OF ISRAEL...(Mat 6:10 KJV) "Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven."
(Mat 19:28 KJV) "And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel."
(Acts 26:7 KJV) "Unto which promise our twelve tribes, instantly serving God day and night, hope to come. For which hope's sake, king Agrippa, I am accused of the Jews."
(Rev 21:12 KJV) "And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:"
(Acts 1:6 KJV) "When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?"
Most Christians have an idea that they will go flitting off to "Heaven" when that is not what the Bible tells us. Earth is our habitation. And the Kingdom will be forever established and expanding. (Luke 1:33 KJV) "And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end."
