**I know I don't pull up a lot scripture but what I write about is the essence of the Word. Please research for yourself in the written form and within yourself as a child of GOD(I am not anti-research, I've absorbed and still absorbing so much in research and I've been blessed to have an intuitive knowing that I am giving the simple meaning to what I have learned). So forgive me if some are here to ONLY debate for spiritual growth and not useless sparring. I'm just trying to be as the Christ, break it down for all to absorb beyond scripture**
Not much is said about the Second Coming of Yeshua the Messiah or and actual Kingdom of GOD in the Church. Are any of us ready to submit ourselves to a Universal King(partly rhetorical). I know I am asking this question in the context of us not being transformed unto our next sevles but try to imagine. Pray for the Lord to give you some understanding of being in His presence in real time and place. To have an intimate relationship with a Living GOD you can hug and break bread. Are we ready to be truly one Body without borders. Individuals with one purpose, to serve the Lord by carrying out His commandments of submission to Him, loving Him with all our hearts and minds, and being at one with our neighbors. One Body.
In the ninth chapter of Isiah,9:2-7, It is said that the Messiah will set up a world government. Are you truly ready for a king. Many want the benefits of an abstract and ghostly god that provides us with spiritual and material gifts. But many will be exposed for the secular love for god. Get your life right. Please be sincere.
I expect that the Kingdom will be built on the ideas of how Christ wants us to have a relationship with Him. An intimate one-GOD, Man, and Nature as a Family, no borders. A world subject to our faith. Reality bending to the needs of the Whole. Our simple and humanly needs will be gone. Cosmic bodies without age,disease, or harm. Only of Power and Grace. GOD's first commandment of the Gospel was to first seek out the Kingdom GOD. This not only implied His established Kingdom on Earth but also internally becoming a fufilled and striving for perfection(in the hebrew and aramaic sense of a finished state)person that is in the presence of GOD(micro to macro).
GOD Bless, Shalom

It is written that we would not know the day of the Coming of the Lord. We are only to read the seasons/signs and be aware of His Appearance.
Constantly read Reality inward and outward with Prayer to know the actions of GOD. Christ's message was one of more than His Coming. Many of His parables were about farming and farmers must know their enviroment and weather patterns to begin to plant and harvest. Just as then we can apply the same intuition and study into our lives.
Hearing a song repeat what you are thinking at the moment or commercial for that fact. See a bird past by you as you think Higher thoughts. Seeing and hearing certain words or phrases throughout the day that come to pass in some part of your life. As astroglers read the stars we can read our rooms with prayer to get a feel for the day.
Open up to the spiritual gifts that were given to you. It is time. Know the Power of the Second Coming.

**this a response to 1dell's post in illutopia that I could not respond to there because I have been banned through mistaken identity. This usually happens when 1dell purges the system and many people get caught up in the crossfire. But he spoke about my poem and me going through many paths and being a mason and with most masons giving up christianity, how did I stay in christianity.**
Being a Messianic Hebrew(mostly from a heritage/DNA context and not by ritual-most of the africans in america are of Israelite descent) after my Rebirth, 8/1/96, I found who I truly was. All that collected information from the study of religions, symbolism, personal insight, philosophy, ways of thought(spherical and linear),abstract logic, political and social thought, mysticism, other people's life, and just common sense was totally understood and more in my Awakening. Being an Omega(Psi Phi), mason,former soldier,college scholar, college dropout, street mystic, hood minister, it has brought me closer to who I am in the Absolute by stripping me of these labels and connecting me to All there is, was, and still be. It's not a choice. I can't even begin to tell you what was given to me on that day of New Life. I can only show through action what is in me. And time will be the Judge of all that is said and believed by everyone here and where ever.
Christianity is a religion, being a Son of Judah in the Body of GOD is what I am. I give the Word mostly by being a firefighter-rescue and healing, life guard-rescue and healing, personal trainer-teaching others how to keep their living temple in shape, and EXODUS, my non profit organization that train kids to run community service programs in their own neighborhoods.
The Body of GOD extends way beyond the label of christianity. I know that many use the term to give reference to label anyone's belief/knowing of GOD/Reality/Absolute(Isaiah 9:2-7 and Yeshua proclaiming I AM to the crowd refering to Moses learning the name/characteristics of GOD through the bush-I AM THAT I AM)being made flesh. But please expand your thinking and inner knowing by prayer and listening to begin to understand the Body of GOD as a community and not a religion. I know that most of the Body is in the concrete/building church but that is the level that many are contained in. And the church has not always grown at a level that many of its unknown members are growing. Think, the organized church is a form of a limited hospital that takes in the infirmed sinners and gives them what they can handle at that time about the Absolute Reality made Flesh on our plane of existence. Many of us that are of the Army of GOD and operate as Special Forces and are able to inflitrate non believers to spread the Word in phases without sanction from a governing body. But we will unite when it's time. So I am slow to criticize without Grace-we are One. Ritual and dogma will fall from church walls and the members will truly realize that they are the Church/Community Body.
For many are on the outside that think they know because they have scripture. But without Spirit it is just data to be analyzed for truth and mistake and not for what is inside the meaning-they have eyes but do not see, they have ears but do not hear. I pray that many step beyond their common knowledge and accept the Lord in Faith through Grace. This does not mean not to analzye and study, it means to study with faith and prayer to transcend the writings of GOD through men.
Be a Blessing

That is true what you say about the Church. I have found that i get a foundation in church, and then expand on that with my own study at home and with my husband. However, I do think it's important that we fellowship with fellow believers - and also unbelievers to witness and minister. I was listening to this sermon on the radio the other day, he was talking about loving your enemy. He was saying that it is a much more righteous thing to love your enemy than to love someone that you like. It is much more difficult and requires more from a person. I think the same goes with witnessing/ministry - it's easy to witness/minister to people who already believe, but it is indeed a more difficult thing to witness/minister to those who DON'T believe. My husband and I are both Christian, but haven't quite found a church we want to call home. A lot of it has to do with church politics and scandal that you have going on in a lot of churches. Personally I like nondenminational ones, but they are generally pretty large churches, and my husband prefers a smaller, more intimate church. **this a response to 1dell's post in illutopia that I could not respond to there because I have been banned through mistaken identity.

Good day, I believe in fellowship also. I go to church but I am not bound by it's dogma or set norms. I listen, pray, and fellowship. Yes, you must witness to those not of the Body in many ways. Like I said, I do it through my work- FF, lifeguard,etc(guerilla warfare in the Special Forces in the Army of GOD)in the name of the Lord.
Keep searching and you will find what you seek in a community of Believers that are geared toward you and yours.
