Two Myths About the Kingdom of God

In short period of time we will begin to observe the fall Holy Days beginning with the Feast of Trumpets celebrated in less than two weeks. The fall Festivals have a different theme that the earlier Holy Days… The earlier Festivals include... Passover, Days of Unleavened Bread and Pentecost… They represent the conversion process of the “elect” throughout history who are being prepared in their lifetimes to serve with Jesus Christ in the Millennium and beyond. Their acceptance of Jesus as their Savior, experiencing the forgiveness of sin, and overcoming with the gift of the Spirit prepares them for this special assignment. The first part of God’s plan is about preaching the gospel and preparing a people. This is all made possible by the first coming of Christ Jesus. The later Festivals include Trumpets, Atonement, Feast of Tabernacles and the 8th Day. These fall Holy Days are about the establishment of the Kingdom of God and all that follows the return of the Messiah. This is all made possible by the second coming of Christ Jesus. The second part of Gods plan is establishing a Kingdom without end. Unfortunately, many sincere individuals have created some myths about the Kingdom of God, and that is what I would like to discuss in this Sermon. Today I would like to discuss two myths about the Kingdom of God.
