"And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment; That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ; Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God." ~ Philippians 1:9-11

Awesome lesson, thanks for dispelling the confusion. Clear and to the the point. Thanks, Dave.
Sir wonderful explanation, it cleared all my doubts, thank you very much sir
Thank you so much for your clarity through the word rightly divided. Taking my time each chapter of the Bible to understand about Paul our apostle and The Fellowship of the mystery.
Thanks for the kind words.
Thank you so much for this and making it simple enough to understand. May God bless you.
Thanks for the kind words. Alleluia.
Wonderful explanation. Very helpful. Thank you!

Very logical when you rightly divide. God Bless.
Pastor pls a friend asked me question I couldn't answer. He asked me if people who died in the old testament died and went to Abraham's bosom. How about those who died from from Adams time to Abraham time.
Where were they placed before Christ came and died..
Greetings from Ghana westafrica.
My personal view is that saints from Adam to Abraham went to Abraham's bosom.
kindly explain, the time of 1000 years reign of Christ, Is it gentiles believer will put for circumcised for salvation?
May I point out that Pauls reference to the kingdom of God isn’t necessarily a reference to the rapture thereby a default reference to the Church…. Please note. The mystery of the last trump is defined for us as taking place when the last enemy is destroyed, the last enemy there is death itself. Therefore verses 50 -55 is after the mill, after satan is loosed and destroyed. Please reference Isaiah 25:8 and Rev 21:4.. Respectively.
How can 1 Cor 15:50 be about the rapture when the key words " caught up " are left out ? Since the previous verse concerns the kingdom, isn't it more likely that this verse pertains to the Jewish reserection ?
Dear pastor, can you help me with those charts. How do i get them please.
@allansyl Which particular charts are you referring to? Please reach out to us via the church website. Grace.

@@ColumbusBibleChurch thank you, I found it through the website.
Please look up the phrase kingdom of God and Kingdom of Heaven and compare and contrast that nearly every single time Matthew uses Kingdom of Heaven, Mark and Luke use Kingdom of God in the exact same word for word passages. When you read every single reference and in it's context, it is clear they are the same and are not different at all. For just 1 example: Mark 4:11 and Matt 13:11 ... and you can find this to be the case the majority of the time. They are used interchangeably and Matthew simply used the term kingdom of heaven rather than God more often.
That is because both were presented and available at same time. The jews were offered a physical king on a throne on earth(kingdom of heaven) and spiritual salvation that has the kingdom within you ( kingdom of God) i know this is confusing to you but it is absolute and obvious. Kingdom of heaven is violent and violent take it by force. Even Jesus is violent when he takes over the throne. Kingdom of God is peace and has no violence. Think? How is anyone taking over God the fathers throne in heaven? Swords?poison in his apples? Push him down a flight of stairs? You cant even see his throne until you die.
Then what meaneth Matt 21:43, “The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof”?
The kingdom is taken from the apostate leadership of Israel and given to the believing remnant within Israel. Hope this helps.
@@ColumbusBibleChurch Thank you for the quick reply. So does the church of Jew and Gentile have anything to do with the KoG? I think most non-MAD dispensationalists believe that Israel was promised the KoH, but the KoG was taken from them and given to the church. But it just goes to the little flock? (Luke 12:32) Then what do we get?
This video may help:

@@ColumbusBibleChurch Thank you. I will check it out.
Pastor you suggested me to watch this video in a question a posted in another video of yours. I was feeling confused because I read in acts 28:31 that Paul preached the kingdom of God to gentiles and I thought he only preached the kingdom of grace. I have two other questions from this video.
1) is the gospel of the kingdom the same as preaching the kingdom of God as Paul did? (My understanding is that Paul preached the gospel of grace and Jesus and peter the gospel of the kingdom)
2) in galatians 5:21 paul gives a lists of wrongdoings and he says they who do those things won't inherit the kingdom of God. at minute 13:41 you say that the kingdom of God is also about the body of Christ inheritance in the heavens, that verse in galatians I just mentioned sounds to me like losing salvation or not being part of the kingdom of God in heaven for doing such things. Am I right? Could you please clarify what this verse means regarding not inheriting the kingdom?
The kingdom of God is a broad term that includes all who are saved under any program. It thus includes both (1) the body of Christ and (2) redeemed Israel. Paul thus taught the kingdom of God (b/c the body of Christ is included in the KOG), but Paul did not preach the gospel of the kingdom.
Gal 5:21 is explained by 1Cor 6:9-11. Gal 5:21 is referring to the lost. Notice "such WERE some of you, but ye ARE washed" in 1Cor 6:11.
@@ColumbusBibleChurch thank you pastor
@@nitochi3 Don't thank him. Just think about what he is teaching. If he says the Jewish believers won't be here and only in heaven, then explain this: How will they then judge the twelve tribes of Israel if they are in heaven only? Matthew 19:28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
Question for you. If the Kingdom of Heaven is Different from the Kingdom of God then why does Mark use the Kingdom of heaven when recounting a few of the parables but Matthew refers to the Kingdom of God instead? For example compare Mat 13:11 and Mark 4:11. This has stumped me.
@Mumpowerpc Both are accurate because they refer to the kingdom received by Israel, which is the kingdom of heaven, which is part of the kingdom of God. Grace.
@@ColumbusBibleChurch so they are used kind of interchangeably?
@Mumpowerpc The kingdom of God includes everything that God reigns over and includes both redeemed Israel and the body of Christ. The kingdom of heaven is Israel's earthly kingdom that comes from heaven.
Mat 6:10 KJV - Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as [it is] in heaven.
Hope this helps. Grace.
@@ColumbusBibleChurch i appeariate the clarification. Makes since now. I have stuying dispensationalism and the common argument I see raised points out they are the same but that didnt sit well with me. I see that the Kingdom of Heaven is only used in Matthew. And I knew it had to be for a reason. Thanks again brother.
The end of the Bible predicts Heaven coming to earth as the Heavenly city descends to earth (Revelation 21) Jesus is going to unite things in Heaven and earth. The 8th and eternal day will be perfection. Heavenly as all things are made perfect. Isn't that the case ? "making known to us the mystery of His will, according to His purpose, which He set forth in Christ as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in Heaven and things on earth." (Ephesians 1:9-10 ESV)
This teaching isn't biblical. Stop adding your theology to the word of God. I can't imagine how Apostle Paul would feel with this kind of teaching. BAD TEACHING
SO YOU THINK YOU ARE GOING TO HEAVEN BECAUSE YOU ARE BORN AGAIN INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
WELL YOU ARE NOT BECAUSE THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS TO ISRAEL EARTHLY KINGDOM NOT HEAVEN
AS FOUND IN THESE TWO VERSES
John 3 (KJV)
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.
Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
KINGDOM OF GOD and KINGDOM OF HEAVEN
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE?
“Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son.” Colossians 1:13
Defining Kingdom
a. God created thrones, dominions, principalities, and powers - Col 1:16
b. Kingdom def ~ a supreme ruler ship, government, dominion of a king
c. “kingdom” found 369 times in your Bible; 350+ times it is earthly
d. Israel was promised an earthly kingdom - Exo 19:5-6, Jer 23:5-6, Dan 2:44
e. Messiah was to be the king of that dominion on the earth - Jer 23:5-6, Isa 9:6-7
f. Dispensational truth teaches we are a new creature in heavenly places
g. Paul talks about a “kingdom”, and says we are in it - Col 1:13
Comparing ‘Kingdoms’
a. Kingdom of God/ Kingdom of Heaven, but there are others -Col 1:13, 2 Tim 4:18
b. Are they the same or different? Yes, they can be both.
c. (32x) KoHeaven is always the promised Jewish kingdom: it is only found, only in Matt
d. (69x) KoGod is inclusive: found everywhere, even in Paul’s writings
e. Both: Matt 19:23; Earthly: Luk 22:16, Spirit: Luk 12:31; Paul: Rom 14:17
f. (9x) They overlap: probably substitution (Psa 73:9); but not always equal
g. Ex: Matthew 3:2 & Mark 1:15; Matt 11:11 &Luke 7:28
h. (8x) Paul uses KoGod, never about earthly kingdom; the 4 Gospels always about earthly
i. “Kingdom” can have different meaning, depending on prophecy/mystery
The Church BoC (that's us); is Not a Kingdom
a. Kingdom of heaven is not you in heavenly places - Eph 2:6
b. The church is not a kingdom or a nation - Mat 21:43, Gal 3:28
c. You do not enter the church, you are the church - Mat 5:19,20 vs. 1 Cor 3:16
d. The kingdom is dominion / rule; church is a body - Mat 19:28, Eph 5:30
e. Kingdom is the subject of prophecy - Psa 103:19
f. The church is the subject of the mystery - Eph 2:15, Col 1:15-27
g. The kingdom come will be on the earth, The church BoC in heaven - Acts 1:6, 11, Col 3:2
h. The kingdom has earthly components, The church BoC does not - Col 2:10, 20
The Church Under the Rule of Christ, Body of Christ
a. The head of every man is Christ - 1 Cor 10:3
b. We are under his authority and rule - Col 1:13-18
c. The reclamation of heavenly places was not made known before, it was mystery
d. Paul reveals the purpose of God in both spheres - Eph 1:10, Phil 2:10, Col 1:16
e. Christ is the head of all principalities… even those in heaven - Col 2:10, Eph 4:10
f. We are raised up in heavenly places far above all earthly positions - Eph 1:21-22
The Kingdom Gospel=Israel on earth
The Grace Gospel = BoC heavenly Places
Gods Kingdom is the realm of the universe
We are all under Gods Kingdom
