Amazing setout this definitely cures allot of confusion in the 4 gospels and 1,2,3 john , 1,2 Peter , hebrews, jude and revelation about the kingdom the law requirement and were we stand today as the body of christ saved by grace . Kingdom will come at christ return in the future .Today we have mission reconciliation as ambassadors 2 Cor 5:17 preaching thd gospel of grace to unsaved world . Vital to seperate prophecy and mystery .
Jesus was pretty clear that he would return in their lifetime . He even told Chaiphas he would see him coming in the clouds , he never saw that , he's been dead 2,000 years ago. Is pretty obvious that Jesus wasn't referring to a future event. Even Paul believe he was return soon... Nothing happend .
"For by grace are ye saved through faith ..." Eph 2:8-9 If you read/hear and believe the gospel of the grace of God: " ...Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:" 1Cor 15:1-4
The healing of the kingdom is the healing of our souls not our bodies, which was always the more important healing, that's the healing man really longs for. The church didn't take over Israel's promises, Israel abandoned their promises and killed their Messiah, they don't want Him but we do. The kingdom isn't political it's spiritual and we are citizens of it now.
Another outstanding lesson from Justin. I never knew what the Kingdom really was...just went along with what people said that it's a spiritual kingdom in our hearts! So clear to understand that the kingdom never came and that God is not building a kingdom but a body. People like Bill Johnson of Bethel in Redding California woukd do well in listening to this message as they claim to be establishing the kingdom on earth with signs wonders and miracles and even claim gold dust and feathers have fallen during their services! Thankyou JJ and GA for streaming theses lessons. Much appreciated here in the UK. If only more listened and believed that the kingdom did not come nor will come until a future day. Thank God for the gospel of grace and the revelation of the mystery.
It doesn't 'sell' well! 'Church' around the world is a big business! 😰 You'd think 2020 had caused all those doors to shut. Ah! But like the conspiracy theorists, suppose there'll always be those who take the easy way out. Rather fall in step with the loud & popular than do the hard work of personal research & 📖 study! Giving thanks🙌🏽 for each new day with new opportunities for us all to keep moving in/towards Truth & right understanding. 🙏🏼 All Praise to the Gracious One!!! 😇💞👏🏼
How so ? Jesus made it clear he was supposed return in their lifetime. Was he wrong ? Even Paul believe thought he would return . Idk how that make any sense
If Jesus put the kingdom on hold , than don't need to make any predictions of his coming. Something not quiet right here .. Jesus told the high priest Chaiphas, that he would see him return in the clouds coming from heaven. He never saw that . He's been dead 2,000 years old
@@Moodboard39 If you have dead Christ then we are still in our sins. Paul says "if Christ is not raised you are still in your sins" The resurrection of Christ is essential. Christ appeared to Paul in Acts 9 and at other times and gave him the revelation of the mystery how gentiles can be saved by grace without Isreal but by grace alone. What are you trusting for salvation? Your works, Your efforts?
@@Moodboard39Paul was talking about the catching up/rapture that happens prior to the Tribulation...after the Tribulation the Kingdom will come for Israel. The Body of Christ will be in heaven.
The good news of the kingdom is there is a new King, He is in charge now, in the same way David was anointed the true king of Israel while Saul was still acting king. The church will enact perfect peace and righteousness on the earth, the question is who is the church - is the church who man recognizes or the true church within the earthly congregations that God and His people recognizes? You can't see the body of Christ nor can you see the kingdom.
Everyone in Christendom always thinks that the Kingdom is spiritual in nature...but the Old Testament states it is a literal, physical Kingdom on Earth.
Israel will be restored and he will reign over Israel and Israel will reign over the World. Body of Christ will do the will of the King in the Gentile nations.
@@Moodboard39 But Jesus is coming back a second time in the future. He will not break His promise to Israel to set up a Kingdom in which Israel will rule the world and He as King of kings and Lord of lords.
God's kingdom is not a political kingdom. He is on the throne now. He has all authority on heaven and on earth now. He is the true King now. He defeated His enemies including death by His death on the cross. Oh death where is your sting? The second spiritual death was always the death that was defeated and we know that was accomplished on the cross.
"You see no evidence of the kingdom of God on earth today." Well said, but that confirms Jesus who said no one will say say lo here or lo there, because the kingdom doesn't come by observation
God did return and pour out his wrath on jerusalem in 70ad, with many of the exact same phrases He used to describe Himself coming in the clouds, judging Jerusalem in 587 bc using the Babylonian army. In the same way He judged the nation of Israel using Babylon He judged Israel using the Roman army in 70ad. He will return again to judge the world.
Christ On His Throne The prophet Zechariah prophesied about the reign of Christ, and said, "He shall build the temple of the Lord. He shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule on His throne; so He shall be a priest on His throne, and the counsel of peace shall be between them both." (Zech. 6:13). Christ was to do three things on His throne: 1) He would sit on His throne, 2) He would be a priest on His throne, and 3) He would rule on His throne. If we put this into the form of a syllogism, we would say: 1) He would rule on His throne while priest, 2) according to Hebrews 8:1, He is a priest on His throne now, and 3) therefore, He is ruling on His throne now. Notice another syllogism: 1) He is a priest on His throne (Zech. 6:13), 2) He is a priest in heaven (Heb. 4:14), and 3) therefore, His throne is in heaven! One last syllogism for your consideration: 1) He could not be a priest if He were on earth (Heb. 8:4), 2) however, He is a priest on His throne (Zech. 6:13), 3) therefore, His throne cannot be on earth!
@@WimGrundy Furthermore what form of praise and worship will be acceptable to our earthly Saviour & King. Just as in Joshua 5 Joshua 5:13-15 KJV [13] And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries? [14] And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the Lord am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant? [15] And the captain of the Lord's host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so. So don’t make fun of the way Muslim’s worship because there is truth in bowing with the face to the ground. Both Moses & Joshua did so when they were hit with the presence of Angel of the Lord. He will sit on his throne and Gentiles will come far & wide to worship him. Because he is the only righteous king
@@WimGrundy Jesus didn't return. Is pretty clear he was supposed return during their lifetime. If the kingdom was on hold cuz of grace - mystery , than why even tell Chaiphas he was coming in the clouds ?. Why tell the disciples , lift your heads untill u see the signs ?
Because He interrupted prophecy by saving Paul in acts 9, inserting a previously undeclared dispensation of His grace, revealed only to/through our Apostle Paul. Prophecy will resume after the catching away of the Body of Christ. 10And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come. 1 THESSALONIANS 1 1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. 2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. 4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. 5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. 6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. 7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. 8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. 9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, 10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. 11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do. 1 THESSALONIANS 5 2 Grace unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 3 We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth; 4 So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure: 5 Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer: 6 Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you; 7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, 8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: 9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; 10 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day. 2 THESSALONIANS 1 1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? 6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. 7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. 8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: 9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. 13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: 14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle. 16 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, 17 Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work. 2 THESSALONIANS 2 51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 1 CORINTHIANS 15 25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. 26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: 27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. ROMANS 11
How they going to see it ?. If they been dead 2,000 years ago Why bring it , if he gotta resurrect them first. That make sense , if he was going to bring in their lifetime but didn't happend . Did Jesus made a false prediction? Was he an apocalyptic preacher ?
John seen it in Revelation. Peter, and James, and John seen the Lord in Glory on the mount of transfiguration, LUKE 9: 28And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray. 29And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering. 30And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias: 31Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem. 32But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: and when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him. and Christ told them it wasn't for them to know the time in ACTS 1: 6When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? 7And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. (...) 11Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. And Job, more than a thousand years prior said: 25 For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: 26 And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: 27 Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me. JOB 19 Christ interrupted prophecy by saving Paul in acts 9, inserting a previously undeclared dispensation of His grace, revealed only to/through our Apostle Paul. Prophecy will resume after the catching away of the Body of Christ.
There are answers to pretty much every question one may have around scripture. But you have got to rightly divide to see the clear picture. Believing God and taking Him at His word is a great place to start to gain understanding.
@@ReplaceYourFate Yea, but why would the Angel state to them, that they will see Jesus the same way he went up. But that didn't happend. Was the angel wrong? Why mention that if grace was going to inserted? The apostle died almost 2000 years ago without seeing him return.... It doesnt make much sense
@@Moodboard39 The "angel" (actually, it was two men) never said they would see Him, right? Only that He would return in like manner.(An exhortation to get to work?) Paul said he himself (and the other Apostles) would die. 1 corinthians 4:9. The thing about this dispensation not being prophesied is it could go on for who knows how long. Paul told Timothy in 2 Timothy to keep the faith and teach others because he was going home. If it wasn't for that insertion of grace, none of us would be able to be saved. Especially not without having to go through Israel. We probably wouldn't even have been born as those in the resurrection neither marry nor give in marriage but are as the angels as according to Matthew 22:30. (we, the body of Christ are far above the angels, that's not our resurrection, but no one would know that if it wasn't for the revelation given to Paul) I don't quite understand where your problem is? But am more than happy to discuss this with you and maybe help you see the truth of God's word. Although that will take faith on your part. Believe how that Christ died for your sins, He was buried, and He rose again the third day and you will receive eternal life. Being sealed with the Spirit upon belief, you will be enabled to understand His words. 1 Corinthians 2:7-14
@@Moodboard39 An example of how easy it is to get confused when one wrestles God's word instead of letting it be as is: 19 This spake he(Jesus), signifying by what death he (Peter) should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me. 20 Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following; which also leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, which is he that betrayeth thee? 21 Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do? 22 Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me. *23 Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?* (NEVER SAID HE WOULD TARRY UNTIL CHRIST COMES, SIMPLY MADE THE POINT IT WAS NONE OF PETER'S BUSINESS) JOHN 21
The kingdom didn't come though . He spoke pretty clear that the kingdom was going to come in their lifetime. He said it was at hand, revelation said it was near . How far is near ? It's not some distant future
It was at hand, and indeed near, but Israel rejected it so Christ interrupted prophecy by saving Paul in Acts 9, inserting a previously undeclared dispensation of His grace, revealed only to/through our Apostle Paul. Prophecy will resume after the catching away of the Body of Christ. Most people have what I call "false peak syndrome*", getting stuck on the earthly ministry of Christ instead of seeing the heavenly purpose He revealed to Paul. Every day that goes by is a testament to His grace and longsuffering: another day that a lost sinner can be saved, simply through faith in the atoning blood of Christ Jesus and His glorious resurrection. The Gospel: Believe how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, He was buried, and He rose again the third day as according to the scriptures and you will be saved. "A false summit, therefore, also known as a false peak, is a mountaineering term that describes a trick of the eye where a rocky protrusion such as a shoulder or minor peak of a hill or mountain appears to be the summit to hikers ascending from below. The real summit is temporarily hidden from sight by the grade of the slope and any outcroppings."
Do you handle serpents, drink poison, and physically heal the sick by the laying on of hands? Also, two gospels in one verse: 7 But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter; GALATIANS 2

John 18:33 Then Pilate went back into the headquarters, summoned Jesus, and said to Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?”.....36 “My kingdom is not of this world,” said Jesus. “If My kingdom were of this world, My servants[e] would fight, so that I wouldn’t be handed over to the Jews. As it is, My kingdom does not have its origin here.”[f] Romans 14:17 for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. Matthew 6:33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be provided for you. John 3:3 Jesus replied, “I assure you: Unless someone is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” 1 Corinthians 15:50 Brothers, I tell you this: Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, and corruption cannot inherit incorruption. Colossians 4:11 and so does Jesus who is called Justus.

The Key to Contradictions Dispensational right division is the key to understanding the Bible with all its contradictions. Taking God’s words literally without rightly dividing ends in failure, Bible mistakes, and doctrinal confusion. Don’t believe me? Consider these contradictions. They cannot be resolved without mid-Acts dispensational right division. The popular response to seeing contradictions is to try and remove them. Popular removal methods include, “that is not what God meant” (spiritualization), “that is an unfortunate translation” (Bible correction), or “there are no contradictions in the Bible” (denial). All of these methods constitute a failure to leave the Bible alone in its plain literal meaning. Trying to remove the contradictions produces doubts about whether God truly inspired the Bible and can actually say what he means. Stop trying to remove the contradictions. Let them be, and explain them with the key to understanding the Bible. The only way to let God be true, possess a Bible without error, and take it literally is to start rightly dividing.

Secret Since the World Began Justin Johnson Nearly two thousand years ago God revealed information that was secret since the world began to the chief persecutor of Christ and the twelve. “Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God; Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:” - Col 1:25-26 Paul was saved by God’s grace and was chosen to make known the preaching of Jesus Christ according to the revelation of this mystery. “Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,” - Rom 16:25 This secret, albeit concerning the Lord Jesus Christ, stands in contradistinction to the information that the twelve disciples were preaching. Peter in his message in Jerusalem after Pentecost spoke of Jesus Christ according to prophecy “which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began” (Acts 3:21). Peter taught things that were spoken by the prophets and Paul taught things that were kept secret from the prophets. It was kept secret from the prophets that Gentile salvation would occur through Israel’s fall (Rom 11:25). Also kept secret was the new body of believers that was being created which was separate from the elect nation of Israel (Eph 3:6). Nor was it prophesied that there would be free salvation apart from the covenants and the law (Rom 3:21-22). While the prophets spoke about a promised land given to a chosen nation ruling in an earthly kingdom in Jerusalem, Paul spoke of both Jews and Gentiles reigning in heavenly places judging angels (Eph 2:6). There are many blessings yet future that will fulfill the writings of the law and the prophets including the coming kingdom to Israel. Yet since the secret information was not spoken by the prophets, we live in a period separate from the subject of prophecy. Instead of an age of law and prophecy, we live in the dispensation of grace which had been hid in God from the foundation of the world (Eph 3:9). Though the verse clearly says it was secret since the world began, many still try to search the prophets for clues about what is happening now. It’s time we continue what God started with Paul “to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery” the secret since the world began (Eph 3:9).
@@ReplaceYourFate Eph 3:4 By reading this you are able to understand my insight about the mystery of the Messiah. 5 This was not made known to people[a] in other generations as it is now revealed to His holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit: 6 The Gentiles are coheirs, members of the same body, and partners of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel. 7 I was made a servant of this gospel by the gift of God’s grace that was given to me by the working of His power.

Ephesians 3:8-9 UNTO ME, WHO AM LESS THAN THE LEAST OF ALL SAINTS, IS THIS GRACE GIVEN, THAT I SHOULD PREACH AMONG THE GENTILES the unsearchable riches of Christ; And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: Colossians 1:1 PAUL, AN APOSTLE OF JESUS CHRIST BY THE WILL OF GOD, and Timotheus our brother, Colossians 1:24-25 Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body’s sake, which is the church: WHEREOF I AM MADE A MINISTER, ACCORDING TO THE DISPENSATION OF GOD WHICH IS GIVEN TO ME FOR YOU, to fulfil the word of God; Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: 2 Thessalonians 3:9 Not because we have not power, but TO MAKE OURSELVES AN ENSAMPLE UNTO YOU TO FOLLOW US. 1 Timothy 1:1 PAUL, AN APOSTLE OF JESUS CHRIST BY THE COMMANDMENT OF GOD OUR SAVIOUR, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope; 1 Timothy 1:11 According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, WHICH WAS COMMITTED TO MY TRUST. 1 Timothy 1:15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; OF WHOM I AM CHIEF. 1 Timothy 1:16 Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, THAT IN ME FIRST Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, FOR A PATTERN TO THEM which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting. 1 Timothy 2:7 Whereunto I AM ORDAINED A PREACHER, AND AN APOSTLE, (I SPEAK THE TRUTH IN CHRIST, AND LIE NOT;) A TEACHER OF THE GENTILES in faith and verity. 2 Timothy 1:1 PAUL, AN APOSTLE OF JESUS CHRIST BY THE WILL OF GOD, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus, 2 Timothy 1:11 Whereunto I AM APPOINTED A PREACHER, AND AN APOSTLE, AND A TEACHER OF THE GENTILES. 2 Timothy 2:8 Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead ACCORDING TO MY GOSPEL: Titus 1:1 PAUL, A SERVANT OF GOD, AND AN APOSTLE OF JESUS CHRIST, according to the faith of God’s elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness; Titus 1:2-3 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, WHICH IS COMMITTED UNTO ME according to the commandment of God our Saviour;
What an incredible blessing it is to understand these Biblical truths! ❤
Outstanding Presentation of the Kingdom and the Body of Christ. If only this was taught in seminaries !
Truth is never that easy to find.
Thanks JJ. Confusion was the norm. I learned these truths, and now I hear preachers and can clearly understand their error.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Such clarity. I wish I knew this 40 yrs. ago.
Better late than never 🙏💖🙏
This man is a jewel
Such clarity in these teachings 💎
Christ is our righteousness
Yes He is.
The kingdom of GOD is so awesome!
Keep looking up my brothers and sisters in Christ. 👆🙌
Wow! SO helpful! Thank you Pst. Justin Johnson & ministry! Glory to God! 🙌😇🙏
You the best without a flaw❤
Amazing setout this definitely cures allot of confusion in the 4 gospels and 1,2,3 john , 1,2 Peter , hebrews, jude and revelation about the kingdom the law requirement and were we stand today as the body of christ saved by grace . Kingdom will come at christ return in the future .Today we have mission reconciliation as ambassadors 2 Cor 5:17 preaching thd gospel of grace to unsaved world .
Vital to seperate prophecy and mystery .
And the book of James its a law book with a covenant people
Future?!Jesus didn't claim that .
Jesus was pretty clear that he would return in their lifetime . He even told Chaiphas he would see him coming in the clouds , he never saw that , he's been dead 2,000 years ago.
Is pretty obvious that Jesus wasn't referring to a future event. Even Paul believe he was return soon... Nothing happend .
@@Moodboard39
So how do you make sense of them scriptures?
@@Moodboard39
Is the bible wrong ?
"For by grace are ye saved through faith ..." Eph 2:8-9
If you read/hear and believe the gospel of the grace of God:
" ...Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:" 1Cor 15:1-4
The healing of the kingdom is the healing of our souls not our bodies, which was always the more important healing, that's the healing man really longs for. The church didn't take over Israel's promises, Israel abandoned their promises and killed their Messiah, they don't want Him but we do. The kingdom isn't political it's spiritual and we are citizens of it now.
Amen Brother!!!!!!!
Jesus is Almighty Lord of the Most High. His miracles are a marker of his glory and his identity.
Another outstanding lesson from Justin. I never knew what the Kingdom really was...just went along with what people said that it's a spiritual kingdom in our hearts!
So clear to understand that the kingdom never came and that God is not building a kingdom but a body.
People like Bill Johnson of Bethel in Redding California woukd do well in listening to this message as they claim to be establishing the kingdom on earth with signs wonders and miracles and even claim gold dust and feathers have fallen during their services!
Thankyou JJ and GA for streaming theses lessons. Much appreciated here in the UK.
If only more listened and believed that the kingdom did not come nor will come until a future day.
Thank God for the gospel of grace and the revelation of the mystery.
It doesn't 'sell' well! 'Church' around the world is a big business! 😰 You'd think 2020 had caused all those doors to shut. Ah! But like the conspiracy theorists, suppose there'll always be those who take the easy way out. Rather fall in step with the loud & popular than do the hard work of personal research & 📖 study! Giving thanks🙌🏽 for each new day with new opportunities for us all to keep moving in/towards Truth & right understanding. 🙏🏼 All Praise to the Gracious One!!! 😇💞👏🏼
How so ? Jesus made it clear he was supposed return in their lifetime. Was he wrong ? Even Paul believe thought he would return . Idk how that make any sense
If Jesus put the kingdom on hold , than don't need to make any predictions of his coming. Something not quiet right here ..
Jesus told the high priest Chaiphas, that he would see him return in the clouds coming from heaven. He never saw that . He's been dead 2,000 years old
@@Moodboard39 If you have dead Christ then we are still in our sins. Paul says "if Christ is not raised you are still in your sins"
The resurrection of Christ is essential.
Christ appeared to Paul in Acts 9 and at other times and gave him the revelation of the mystery how gentiles can be saved by grace without Isreal but by grace alone.
What are you trusting for salvation? Your works, Your efforts?
@@Moodboard39Paul was talking about the catching up/rapture that happens prior to the Tribulation...after the Tribulation the Kingdom will come for Israel.
The Body of Christ will be in heaven.
The good news of the kingdom is there is a new King, He is in charge now, in the same way David was anointed the true king of Israel while Saul was still acting king. The church will enact perfect peace and righteousness on the earth, the question is who is the church - is the church who man recognizes or the true church within the earthly congregations that God and His people recognizes? You can't see the body of Christ nor can you see the kingdom.
The differences of
Israel and zion
Kingdom of grace and glory
Great explanation. Paul's thorn in the flesh wasn't physical but an evil spirit.
Everyone in Christendom always thinks that the Kingdom is spiritual in nature...but the Old Testament states it is a literal, physical Kingdom on Earth.
Israel will be restored and he will reign over Israel and Israel will reign over the World. Body of Christ will do the will of the King in the Gentile nations.
But never came and Jesus didn't return as he predicted
@@clevelandwilliams5922 Jesus didn't as he predicted . Jesus was supposed return in their lifetime
@@Moodboard39 you forgot that they rejected him in being their king & messiah, so it was postponed.
@@Moodboard39 But Jesus is coming back a second time in the future. He will not break His promise to Israel to set up a Kingdom in which Israel will rule the world and He as King of kings and Lord of lords.
God's kingdom is not a political kingdom. He is on the throne now. He has all authority on heaven and on earth now. He is the true King now. He defeated His enemies including death by His death on the cross. Oh death where is your sting? The second spiritual death was always the death that was defeated and we know that was accomplished on the cross.
"You see no evidence of the kingdom of God on earth today." Well said, but that confirms Jesus who said no one will say say lo here or lo there, because the kingdom doesn't come by observation
Brother…. SLOOOOOW DOOOWN!! Excellent message, but many moments not understanding what your saying as you rush through your speech!
God did return and pour out his wrath on jerusalem in 70ad, with many of the exact same phrases He used to describe Himself coming in the clouds, judging Jerusalem in 587 bc using the Babylonian army. In the same way He judged the nation of Israel using Babylon He judged Israel using the Roman army in 70ad. He will return again to judge the world.

Where is the Throne of David?
Christ On His Throne
The prophet Zechariah prophesied about the reign of Christ, and said, "He shall build the temple of the Lord. He shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule on His throne; so He shall be a priest on His throne, and the counsel of peace shall be between them both." (Zech. 6:13).
Christ was to do three things on His throne: 1) He would sit on His throne, 2) He would be a priest on His throne, and 3) He would rule on His throne. If we put this into the form of a syllogism, we would say: 1) He would rule on His throne while priest, 2) according to Hebrews 8:1, He is a priest on His throne now, and 3) therefore, He is ruling on His throne now.
Notice another syllogism: 1) He is a priest on His throne (Zech. 6:13), 2) He is a priest in heaven (Heb. 4:14), and 3) therefore, His throne is in heaven!
One last syllogism for your consideration: 1) He could not be a priest if He were on earth (Heb. 8:4), 2) however, He is a priest on His throne (Zech. 6:13), 3) therefore, His throne cannot be on earth!
@@WimGrundy Furthermore what form of praise and worship will be acceptable to our earthly Saviour & King. Just as in Joshua 5 Joshua 5:13-15 KJV
[13] And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries?
[14] And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the Lord am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant?
[15] And the captain of the Lord's host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so.
So don’t make fun of the way Muslim’s worship because there is truth in bowing with the face to the ground. Both Moses & Joshua did so when they were hit with the presence of Angel of the Lord. He will sit on his throne and Gentiles will come far & wide to worship him. Because he is the only righteous king
@@WimGrundy Jesus didn't return. Is pretty clear he was supposed return during their lifetime. If the kingdom was on hold cuz of grace - mystery , than why even tell Chaiphas he was coming in the clouds ?.
Why tell the disciples , lift your heads untill u see the signs ?
But Jesus didn't come as he predicted in the gospel .
Because He interrupted prophecy by saving Paul in acts 9, inserting a previously undeclared dispensation of His grace, revealed only to/through our Apostle Paul. Prophecy will resume after the catching away of the Body of Christ.

1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.
1 THESSALONIANS 5
2 Grace unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth;
4 So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure:
5 Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:
6 Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;
7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
10 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.
2 THESSALONIANS 1
1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.
16 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,
17 Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.
2 THESSALONIANS 2
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
1 CORINTHIANS 15
25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.

How they going to see it ?. If they been dead 2,000 years ago Why bring it , if he gotta resurrect them first.
That make sense , if he was going to bring in their lifetime but didn't happend .
Did Jesus made a false prediction? Was he an apocalyptic preacher ?
John seen it in Revelation. Peter, and James, and John seen the Lord in Glory on the mount of transfiguration,
LUKE 9:
28And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray. 29And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering. 30And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias: 31Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem. 32But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: and when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.
and Christ told them it wasn't for them to know the time in
ACTS 1: 6When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? 7And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.

11Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
And Job, more than a thousand years prior said:
25 For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:
26 And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:
27 Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.

There are answers to pretty much every question one may have around scripture. But you have got to rightly divide to see the clear picture. Believing God and taking Him at His word is a great place to start to gain understanding.
@@ReplaceYourFate Yea, but why would the Angel state to them, that they will see Jesus the same way he went up. But that didn't happend. Was the angel wrong? Why mention that if grace was going to inserted? The apostle died almost 2000 years ago without seeing him return.... It doesnt make much sense
@@Moodboard39 The "angel" (actually, it was two men) never said they would see Him, right? Only that He would return in like manner.(An exhortation to get to work?) Paul said he himself (and the other Apostles) would die. 1 corinthians 4:9. The thing about this dispensation not being prophesied is it could go on for who knows how long. Paul told Timothy in 2 Timothy to keep the faith and teach others because he was going home. If it wasn't for that insertion of grace, none of us would be able to be saved. Especially not without having to go through Israel. We probably wouldn't even have been born as those in the resurrection neither marry nor give in marriage but are as the angels as according to Matthew 22:30. (we, the body of Christ are far above the angels, that's not our resurrection, but no one would know that if it wasn't for the revelation given to Paul)
I don't quite understand where your problem is? But am more than happy to discuss this with you and maybe help you see the truth of God's word. Although that will take faith on your part. Believe how that Christ died for your sins, He was buried, and He rose again the third day and you will receive eternal life. Being sealed with the Spirit upon belief, you will be enabled to understand His words. 1 Corinthians 2:7-14
@@Moodboard39 An example of how easy it is to get confused when one wrestles God's word instead of letting it be as is:
19 This spake he(Jesus), signifying by what death he (Peter) should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me.
20 Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following; which also leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, which is he that betrayeth thee?
21 Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do?
22 Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me.
*23 Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?* (NEVER SAID HE WOULD TARRY UNTIL CHRIST COMES, SIMPLY MADE THE POINT IT WAS NONE OF PETER'S BUSINESS)
JOHN 21
The kingdom didn't come though . He spoke pretty clear that the kingdom was going to come in their lifetime.
He said it was at hand, revelation said it was near . How far is near ? It's not some distant future
It was at hand, and indeed near, but Israel rejected it so Christ interrupted prophecy by saving Paul in Acts 9, inserting a previously undeclared dispensation of His grace, revealed only to/through our Apostle Paul. Prophecy will resume after the catching away of the Body of Christ. Most people have what I call "false peak syndrome*", getting stuck on the earthly ministry of Christ instead of seeing the heavenly purpose He revealed to Paul.
Every day that goes by is a testament to His grace and longsuffering: another day that a lost sinner can be saved, simply through faith in the atoning blood of Christ Jesus and His glorious resurrection.
The Gospel: Believe how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, He was buried, and He rose again the third day as according to the scriptures and you will be saved.
"A false summit, therefore, also known as a false peak, is a mountaineering term that describes a trick of the eye where a rocky protrusion such as a shoulder or minor peak of a hill or mountain appears to be the summit to hikers ascending from below. The real summit is temporarily hidden from sight by the grade of the slope and any outcroppings."

The Key to Contradictions
Dispensational right division is the key to understanding the Bible with all its contradictions.
Taking God’s words literally without rightly dividing ends in failure, Bible mistakes, and doctrinal confusion.
Don’t believe me? Consider these contradictions.
They cannot be resolved without mid-Acts dispensational right division.
The popular response to seeing contradictions is to try and remove them.
Popular removal methods include, “that is not what God meant” (spiritualization), “that is an unfortunate translation” (Bible correction), or “there are no contradictions in the Bible” (denial).
All of these methods constitute a failure to leave the Bible alone in its plain literal meaning. Trying to remove the contradictions produces doubts about whether God truly inspired the Bible and can actually say what he means.
Stop trying to remove the contradictions. Let them be, and explain them with the key to understanding the Bible.
The only way to let God be true, possess a Bible without error, and take it literally is to start rightly dividing.
For His glory,

Secret Since the World Began
Justin Johnson
Nearly two thousand years ago God revealed information that was secret since the world began to the chief persecutor of Christ and the twelve.
“Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God; Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:” - Col 1:25-26
Paul was saved by God’s grace and was chosen to make known the preaching of Jesus Christ according to the revelation of this mystery.
“Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,” - Rom 16:25
This secret, albeit concerning the Lord Jesus Christ, stands in contradistinction to the information that the twelve disciples were preaching.
Peter in his message in Jerusalem after Pentecost spoke of Jesus Christ according to prophecy “which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began” (Acts 3:21).
Peter taught things that were spoken by the prophets and Paul taught things that were kept secret from the prophets.
It was kept secret from the prophets that Gentile salvation would occur through Israel’s fall (Rom 11:25). Also kept secret was the new body of believers that was being created which was separate from the elect nation of Israel (Eph 3:6).
Nor was it prophesied that there would be free salvation apart from the covenants and the law (Rom 3:21-22).
While the prophets spoke about a promised land given to a chosen nation ruling in an earthly kingdom in Jerusalem, Paul spoke of both Jews and Gentiles reigning in heavenly places judging angels (Eph 2:6).
There are many blessings yet future that will fulfill the writings of the law and the prophets including the coming kingdom to Israel. Yet since the secret information was not spoken by the prophets, we live in a period separate from the subject of prophecy.
Instead of an age of law and prophecy, we live in the dispensation of grace which had been hid in God from the foundation of the world (Eph 3:9).
Though the verse clearly says it was secret since the world began, many still try to search the prophets for clues about what is happening now.
It’s time we continue what God started with Paul “to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery” the secret since the world began (Eph 3:9).
