The term “At Hand” is from the Greek word “ἐγγύς, and means near, close, imminent, and about to happen.” So “at hand” like using your hand to mean within reach, at any moment any time soon. Like to be coming into view at your door, obtainable, usable and enforceable.

So that in New Testament terms, when the Gospel of “The Kingdom of God at hand” is preached, is to mean available NOW, within reach as an obtainable goal. If it was “at hand” back then and not retracted, meaning it is still available now, and back then they didn’t get the Kingdom, and today people are left wanting and waiting for it to come again? Where is The Kingdom of God?

Christ taught saying “20 And when He was demanded by the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, Christ answered them and said, The kingdom of God does NOT come with (carnal) observation: 21 Neither shall they say, look here! or, look there! for,the kingdom of God is within you.

So even now if someone preaches another coming Jesus? With another coming Kingdom? As though it isn’t here but will appear later? They are just as wayward as the seekers in Christ’s day who were condemned for doing so.

So that if you are looking into “End Times” and looking for a “Second Coming Jesus? Then you are right where the Jews left off at that were judged till “not one brick would be left upon another” “because they knew NOT the time of their visitation as “AT HAND” even then.

For Christs coming is an event that happens at a different time for everyone having to do with when they are “born again” and “borne from above”.

John says it like this “3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

And “Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.

Which leaves people exposed to be subject to a similar judgment as the Jews or worse if they choose to wait and visibly see Christ . Why? Because 19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: Even as when Saul was converted to become Paul, his testimony was “3 And as Paul journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven: 4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? 5 And Paul said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: is it hard for thee to kick against the pricks? 6 And Paul trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do. 7 And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man.

If Christ warned them that “they will say look here or look there, do not follow them for they are blind leading the blind”. And you like, subscribe and follow them anyway? Then you too are just as wayward as that generation of which Christ said “oh Jerusalem the ones who stones, kills and rejects all those who are sent to you (proclaiming His Kingdom at hand). That you too may be subject to the same judgments and fires of Hell in the same way. We refer to these fires of Hell as, the burning sensations of lost opportunities”. You could have, should have, and would have if you only knew? So now you know that even now “The Kingdom that cometh not with carnal observation, is the one still “at hand” in the same way Saul/Paul experienced.

The Kingdom of God is at hand. And there is no Second Coming Jesus with another dose of savings or the first saving, Savior, Christ, Lord and King, is the impostor. And if He does appear as a man, then the judgment to the Jews of old were unjust and unnecessary. And because God meant what He meant, said what He said and did what He did, He will do it again.

Was His life sufficient or not. And did He save or didn’t He. And if we preach and speak of something yet to come, then the term “At Hand” means something else and we were all deceived.

So we will close with this. The phrase “Second Coming” is not found once in scripture. But He saved each one of us in our own order of time throughout eternity. That’s His signature move. He is ubiquitous. His words alive in us are Eternal. And when our flesh expires we live on because we have excepted Him in His natural self. He who from the beginning was The Word of God “became flesh and dwelt among us”. So that we in turn who in our beginning were flesh. To in turn be “begotten by the Word of truth” and at the same time “born of the (Holy) Spirit”. It is in this way that we become His “kind beget according to kind” of His kind. This is the gospel.

So “The Kingdom of God is at hand” and many of them back then had it, and many of us do too “Today”. For “Today is (still) the day of Salvation.” But the window of opportunity is closing soon. And there will be those invited to this wedding feast, who “went to the world for their attire” thinking the garments from creation are sufficient? To wake up to this alarming reply “Depart from Me you workers of iniquity for I FOR NOT KNOW YOU FROM WHERE YOU ARE AT! They did not believe that “The Kingdom (was) at hand” in the way we describe. Amen!

Amen!
