The LORD God SENT HIM FORTH from the Garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence He was taken . SO HE DROVE OUT THE MAN; and He placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, TO KEEP THE WAY OF THE TREE OF LIFE. (Genesis 3:23-24).
The Gospel of the KINGDOM of God is absent from the lips of those who claim to accomplish the Great Commission and attempt to preach “SAVING gospel” that will SAVE a person from the “Hell Fire” and go to Heaven after death. That if they don’t accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, then, they’re on their way to the “Hell Fire”, to suffer “ENDLESS PUNISHMENT”. Because of this TRADITIONAL “gospel”, we were DECEIVED by Satan & put the MENTALITY of a PUNISHING God. That’s why most UNBELIEVERS are anxious to attend Christian Fellowships and even dare not to open the Bible. Because they feel CONDEMNED for their selves! They thought, even Christians, that the message of the Bible is all about Heaven and “Hell Fire”, ONLY!
The HOPE of the RESURRECTION was gone! Their mindset about the SALVATION became LIMITED of ESCAPING from the “Hell Fire” and going to Heaven after death, ONLY! Will the FAULT of Adam makes the PURPOSE and PLAN of God of no effect? Will the FAULT of ONE MAN leads MANY to the “Hell Fire” and suffer “ENDLESS PUNISHMENT”? This not the GOOD PLEASURE of God for you!
The devil tried to WITHHOLD the REAL GOSPEL Message of CHRIST. So the WHOLE WORLD was DECEIVED. Look, we, human, having CREATED in the LIKENESS of His own IMAGE shall restore the KINGDOM of God that Lucifer tried to take over under his CONTROL. Satan tried to HOARD and SUPPRESSED the PROPAGATION of the Gospel of the KINGDOM of God, even the time of Adam, so we might not EXERCISE our AUTHORITY against him!
In the New Testament, Satan tried to PREVENT the PROCLAMATION of this Gospel. He moved to DESTROY the baby Jesus. He tried to DEFEAT Jesus SPIRITUALLY, just before He preached the Gospel of the KINGDOM of God. He even tried to INTIMIDATE the Apostles in preaching the Gospel of the KINGDOM of God! Until now, Satan still tries to keep this Gospel of the KINGDOM of God from SPREADING.
Satan is TERRIFIED when this Gospel is being PREACHED! This Gospel was REVEALED to us by Christ so we might ABOLISH the dark kingdom that Satan tried to establish. Satan creates CONFUSION so we might not concentrate in searching the HIDDEN TREASURE, the KINGDOM of God! This KINGDOM was originally REVEALED to Adam and is now REVEALED unto us by the Lord Jesus Christ, Himself.
When God DECLARES, consider it DONE! “For it is God w/c worketh in you both to Will & TO DO of His GOOD PLEASURE.” (Philippians 2:13). Notice in Isaiah 46:10, “Declaring the END from the BEGINNING… My COUNSEL [Word] shall stand [Forever]…” God Himself will do His PURPOSE and PLAN from the FOUNDATION of the WORLD. In other words, it doesn’t matter how the devil tries to hinder us from ACCOMPLISHING the PLAN of God. Keep in mind, God have already DECLARED His Will in the END from the BEGINNING. What is His Will in the END? To put ALL THINGS, in Heaven and on earth, under the AUTHORITY of CHRIST. Read Ephesians 1:10.
Just what do you think COUNSEL? COUNSEL is when you know what to do. God is looking for someone who will TRUST His COUNSEL, His Word, someone will follow His WAYS and OBEYS His LAW! “COUNSEL in the HEART of man is likeb deep water; but a man of UNDERSTANDING will draw it out.” (Proverbs 20:5). A man that UNDERSTANDS THE WISDOM OF GOD will make the COUNSEL of God CREARER for the SAKE of others.
God is waiting for those who are WILLING to go and PREACH the Gospel of the KINGDOM of God to the NATIONS. God is waiting for you! Always remember, the Creator of the entire LIMITLESS UNIVERSE wants you to UNDERSTAND THE WISDOM OF GOD. This Gospel is the POWER of God unto SALVATION to everyone that BELIEVES! What Gospel? It is the Gospel of SALVATION ORIGINALLY for the Jews! This is the Gospel of the KINGDOM of God! This Gospel, the “Gospel of PEACE (Ephesians 6:15)”, is the GOOD NEWS that the Lord Jesus Christ wants us to PROCLAIM. This is the Gospel MESSAGE or GOOD NEWS of Jesus Christ.
The Jews are still waiting for their “MESSIAH”, the PROMISED Deliverer. “I will put ENMITY [War] b/n thee & the woman, & b/n thy seed & HER SEED; it shall bruise thy head, & thou shalt bruise HIS HEEL. Unto the woman He said, I will GREATLY MULTIPLY thy SORROW [Weeping & Gnashing of Teeth, Pain & Suffering] & thy conception; in SORROW thou shalt bring forth children; & thy desire shall be to thy husband, & he shall RULE OVER THEE [Discrimination].” (Genesis 3:15-16). Jews are also WAITING for the MESSIAH, our SAVIOR! To set them FREE from FOREIGN INVADERS! To RESCUE them from Satan’s captivity or SLAVERY. To DELIVER them from the DOMINION of darkness. To SAVE them from PAIN, SORROW and DEATH!
