Kingdom at Hand? Or Second Coming?

This isn’t a question we should be debating. Jesus Christ came preaching that The Kingdom of God is at hand, and instructed His disciples who become Apostles, to do the same thing. For you see that this was a different message than the Law and The Prophets, and an invitation that is in effect even NOW until the final judgment

There could be some confusion as to what “at hand” means. Scripture says that God and Christ “only spoke too to the people in parables and without a parable spake He not. To mean since the beginning to include Adam and Eve. For they were given the same task as us in that they were in the Garden of Eden, their place to discover the luscious fruit of that tree. For us we understand “that tree” in parable form as the tree of Life, which in New Will And Testament terms is re-presented by the Cross of Christ in parable form. So we have the tree that genders death with Adam, and the Cross (a tree trunk of wood) that generates Eternal life. And because it came in parable form, for “without a parable spake He not to the people”, to mean the Old Testament up until its replacement had come so that now we don’tcallHim Lord or Master because He said “Ino longer call you slaves because slaves don’t know what their masters are doing, but I tell you all things.” And we convey the interpretation thereof so that you too can enjoy “the Kingdom of God at hand”, which is also “The Kingdom prepared from the foundations of the world”. To mean those who did not get stuch in the quagmire of the law. That “The law was added till faith came”. And the Cross is the object of that faith and our doorway into Eternity. Didn’t Jesus say that “I am the way the truth and the light”? That “no one comes to the Father unless it is through Me. That His life was brokeb for us, as seen with the “breaking of bread”, then the disiples delivered it to the masses. And from that One and Only loaf the multitude was fed with plenty to spare. So that you shouldn’t have to feel hungry or left out. Why? Becasue Christ was and is and is to come”, to include the bread of life for all of mankind throughout the ages and to the end. That is if eternity had one but it doesn’t. So He is sufficient.

So for more than just the bread is a parable, it is a proof and the point that all the parables, pictures lessons as well as Scripture itself, is all ONLY EVER meant to add definition to the Eternal rhelm of the Spirit, and why one must be “born again” and “borne of the spirit to do so. For it is there that the transition, or transfigureation takes place. And the proof of that is that you cannot see it. For even as scripture states that “The wind blows where it wishes” so are those borne of the spirit. The question is, are you truly born again in a scriptural fashion?

so we will show you the term AT HAND use throughout scripture as to mean “within reach” at the moment it was said, to mean just as if I were to hand you something, to mean all you have to do is take it. Free for the taking unless stated otherwise.

This first set of scriptures translate the Greek word eggizo as near instead of at hand because it was the translators decision to do so because of the context however both near and at hand come from the Greek Concordance number 1448

Below in font is from eggizo.

Mark 13.28 say that “when you see the leaves change you know that summer is near (at hand).

Luke 22.47 where Judas “drew near to kiss Him”, speaking of when he sold out on Christ and delivered Him up to death.

Acts 21.33 “the chief captain came near (at hand) and took him.

Mt 21.34, 24.33 Luke 15.1, 1840, 1941, 21.8 22.47, 2415, near, drew near, as also from Mark Luke and John. But you get the point that the term “at hand” as seen translated to mean something other than a futuristic Second Coming as seekers are looking for even again in our day. So that shortly and near is more like immediately and immanent and not some supposed 2000 plus years later or more as the bulk of the body of Christian believers suppose today.

Remember the warning that “wicked men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceaved”. To mean to keep growing in more deception. IEvenas scripture poses”when Christ comes, will He really find faith on earth?” The answer would be, No! Because Christs next apperance shall be His last “with a flaming fire, taking vengance on His enemies”, “and the earth and all its works shall be burned for the eternal to remain.” To mean without competition.

So then like at the last supper in Matthew 26.18-51 The Master says His time is at hand”, 45 “the hour is at hand and the time has come.” 46 “he (Judas) is at hand that does betray Me”.

In John 2.13 “the Passover was at hand”. John 7.2 “the feast of the Tabernacles was at hand”.

Romans 13.12 “the night is far spent and the Day is at hand.”

Revelation 1.3 saying not to seal the book “for the time is at hand., Then to close that book saying in 22.10 “Do not seal the prophecies of this book for the time is at hand.” To mean “aat hand” with the same immediacy as the afore mentioned verses. SO that when it comes to The Kingdom of God is at hand”. And no edict was given otherwise. To further add speculation to the loss of that phrase “at hand” as happening, the phrase frequently repeated that “The Kingdom of God is at hand”. That if you are looking for a second coming, you are really quite confused. And so goes Christendom at large.

And as far as that Greek word used as “near”? Check these out.

Mark 13.28

Luke 18.40

Luke 22.47

Hebrews 10.22

And if these proofs are not enough to prove the point that Salvation was “at hand” to aquire even then, let us draw upon the opening verse of Hebrews, the most inquisitive verse among the New Testament texts that reads “God who who times past in various ways spoke to the fathers by the prophets, has in these LAST DAYS spoken to us by His Son”. Whom we also know as “The Word of God”, who “became flesh and dwelt among us”, to infer that it was with Christ that the last days started as having to do with the “New” and final “Testament” as being the Old Covenant replacement, with no third or final covenant or testament, or another work of any sort coming later. For if that was the case, then When the Christ at the cross said to the Father :it is finished, He would be a liar. And if He went to the Fathers right hand, to have to get up or do anything else would proove false most of scripture itself because it is all about the Son of God who came into the world not to condemn but to save. And if He didn’t dothat for all people, time and eternity, then what good was the cross? Cross-over? Get it? And what about His last words before His Spirit departed? “Father it is finished.”

We know that since then He has been seated at the right hand of the Father,  based upon thr works of The Cross He was Gods only and final remedy and say so was through His Son, for which we were called to “go ye therefore teaching and preaching that THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS AT HAND. And those who are looking for another, to mean a second coming Jesus? Are rejecting the “way the truth and the life” and in denial and may also be charged with rejecting the one time event of the Eternal Sons price paid to be His death for ours. And not ours alone but for the whole world whether they accept it, or not. And because The Only Begotten paid at the Cross, being our cross over and access to the Father? It can be implemented anytime and any where because God is that big and His Son was that thorough.

That “He is able to save to the uttermost because because He has an eternal life to do so. Or better yet, because He is Eternal He need not repeat Himself over and over for “He has come once at the end of the age to put an end to the sacrifices for sin”. And if you can accept this, then you too can learn to enter His rest by faith and be seated in solace and safety with these eternal truths by faith, because it is “from faith to faith”. One promise after another until “you are complete in Him who is head over all.”

In that God so loved the world, not so much the earth because the earth like a piece of paper is a medium whereby an artist can display his handy work. SO too it was God who created that forum, form and platform to display His handy work, being us!As evedenced by God crowning His creation by making Adam on the sixth and final day. That creation is NOT the objective but those born from Adam. That God so loved us that He gave His Only Begotten so that when we go to the Father in Christs name, the Father sees Him in us. And THAT is what salvation means, and when it starts is as soon as anyone anywhere throughout time confesses Christs freely gifted provision of our way back home as His images that were broken from the beginning…

It is then that the Father sees His Son in us and grants us access to everything that they have and who they are so that the verse can become true for you too, that “you have been given everything that pertains to life and godliness through knowing these things from Him who has called us to glory and virtue. By virtue of you knowing and applying these things that are AT HAND through the working of faith. That faith is the substance of things that we hoped in, which is our evidence of the things unseen.” That many may call the super natural. And that they are! These all have to do with “The Kingdom of God at hand”. This still, even today is the same message for all time and eternity, but the invitation has an end. SO say we, The Kingdom of God is at hand, within reach. But you must enter through the Cross by faith to retrieve it. Therefore “The Just Shall Live by Faith!! Welcome to the Kingdom. Amen!
