The Kingdom of God is not on this Earth. Jesus is Coming Back, and the Buzzards are Gathering Around Israel

Luke 17:20-37

Click here for a description of the mark of the beast.

• The kingdom of God is not anything we see in this world.
• There are no saviors on this earth that can promise a heavenly world.
• Jesus comes very quickly and suddenly after the global tribulation.
• Lawlessness, homosexuality, and violence precedes the Day of the Lord.
• Salvation is not found within social and economic values.
• The eagles are gathering around the body of Israel.

The kingdom of God is not anything we see in this world. “Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of God does not come with observation…” Luke 17:20 The kingdom of God was among them, and they didn’t observe Him. Jesus Christ is everything the kingdom of God is, and no one made that observation. Today, the kingdom of God is within us, “…nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you.” Luke 17:21 No one can point to anything in this world and say, “See, there’s the kingdom of God,” because it lives in us through the Spirit of Christ. Also, the kingdom of God is in the new heaven and new earth, and the Holy Spirit in us is our reservation into the New Jerusalem. When Jesus gave His life on the Cross to atone for sin, He opened the door to enable our body to be the temple of God, the home of the Holy Spirit. There is no heaven on earth, no salvation through the global “democracy,” and the kingdom of God is not the thing that has the power to form what we think, feel and do. Society rooted in the mark of the beast is not the heavenly kingdom.

There are no saviors on this earth that can promise a heavenly world. “Then He said to the disciples, “The days will come when you will desire to see the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it.” Luke 17:22 His followers were hoping that the Messiah would bring the kingdom of God on this earth, and they are not going to see it. The Israelis of today, the few who still follow Jewish heritage, are still waiting for the coming of their Messiah, instead things get worse and worse for them. Even those promoting the global “democracy” of the beast are plagued with one problem after another, especially global warming, which plays a role in destroying the power center of the mark of the beast (Revelation 16:8-10). Global tribulation is coming to this world, not the kingdom of God. “And they will say to you, ‘Look here!’ or ‘Look there!’ Do not go after them or follow them.” Luke 17:23 With churchy and humanitarian sounding words, they want you to look around and see them as the answer to all the world’s problems. They want the world to follow them, and that is what the global government of the beast is all about.

Jesus comes very quickly and suddenly after the global tribulation. “For as the lightning that flashes out of one part under heaven shines to the other part under heaven, so also the Son of Man will be in His day.” Luke 17:24 The kingdom of God does not come by building global harmony one day at a time, nor does it come by making a ten-year plan for reformation, nor does it come one person at time. Jesus comes immediately and suddenly like a flash of lightening in the sky. “But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.” Luke 17:25 Before the Holy Spirit could come, Jesus had to be rejected and suffer crucifixion to make atonement for sin. By coming to God through Jesus, for the remission of sin, we have a reservation in the kingdom of God, the New Jerusalem. But before He comes back, before the Day of the Lord, He will suffer many things. This present generation afflicts the Spirit of Christ, have discarded the need for the Gospel of Christ in the churches, and afflict His followers. After His suffering in the global tribulation, then He will return to bring us home into the kingdom of God.

Lawlessness, homosexuality, and violence precedes the Day of the Lord. “And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man…” Luke 17:26 For a description of how the days of Noah were read Genesis 6. People haven’t a clue how wicked the community is under the mark of the beast, they go on as if life is normal, as Jesus says, “They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.” Luke 17:27 The social network of today thinks the LGBQT+ life is normal too, which is what the days of Lot were, “Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built…” Luke 17:28 For a description of how the days of Lot were, read Genesis 19. “…but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all.” Luke 17:29 When the Holy Spirit is gone from this world, and the Day of the Lord comes, He will bring destruction to this world, as Jesus says, “Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.” Luke 17:30

Salvation is not found within social and economic values. “In that day, he who is on the housetop, and his goods are in the house, let him not come down to take them away. And likewise the one who is in the field, let him not turn back.” Luke 17:31 Today, not only does homosexuality, violence, and lawlessness dominate communities, but money and possessions drive the social network. Those who govern by the mark of the beast uses materialism to reward those who live by the mark. These are the days to embrace Jesus Christ and to forget about money and possessions. “Remember Lot’s wife.” Luke 17:32 Her heart was rooted in the sensual and corrupt past she lived in Sodom, and she died to God. “Whoever seeks to save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it.” Luke 17:33 There is no Salvation by embracing the social and economic advantages in this world, but there is Salvation by living for Jesus and saying no to the society of the mark of the beast. Social bonds are not bonds of Salvation, “I tell you, in that night there will be two men in one bed: the one will be taken and the other will be left. Two women will be grinding together: the one will be taken and the other left. Two men will be in the field: the one will be taken and the other left.” Luke 17:34-36

The eagles are gathering around the body of Israel. The disciples of Jesus had a question, “Where?” Where were all of the gay lifestyles, lawlessness, and violence supposed to take place, “And they answered and said to Him, “Where, Lord?” Luke 17:37a. They couldn’t imagine that He would be talking about Israel, Jerusalem, or anywhere near to their earthly Holy Land. And yet, today that is exactly what is happening within the citizenship of Israel and Jerusalem. Even as I type this, there are protests and riots to oppose their Israeli government and to demand conformity to the agenda of the global “democratic” society of the beast. They are demanding progression in LGBQT+ rights, even as lawlessness and violence fills Israel, Jerusalem, and the West bank, the Gaza Strip, etc. They are living by the mark of beast as they embrace social and economic values while turning their backs on God. The response of Jesus is this, “So He said to them, “Wherever the body is, there the eagles will be gathered together.” Luke 17:37b. We are seeing the eagles of the United Nations and of the surrounding Middle East countries gathering around the body of Israel. They have their eye on a kill. Likewise, we see the eagles of the global government of the beast gathering around the body of Christianity. The prophecies of the Bible are being fulfilled in front of our eyes; Jesus Christ is coming back.

‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
