The Kingdom of Christ and His present reign Immortal from the throne God preordained for Him to be established in as a seat for His glory, in contradistinction to all other human beings, and for voluntary solicitation of every human being to salvation, for preservation in the eternal City of God's delight. Jesus, being seated in preeminence over all that God has created, is a present reality, and His Kingdom cannot be offset or delayed to another age; the subject matter or person who attempts to, is in error. He is Lord from His birth in the body!
There is only one period and not another, when there is an expression of immortality coexisting with the procreation of humanity in the body of subjection to death, called the body of mortality.
It's called the Kingdom of Christ from heaven, and that Kingdom is in progress and presently being engaged night and day now irreversibly. This is understood and expressed by the revelation of His glory as He is now, and where He is now, exalted and enthroned, immortal in the throne of His mutual choice in agreement with the Father, through His own death and resurrection retaining His regenerated human birthed body of His immortality, as initiated in the garden of Gethsemane when He made that decsion to go to the cross, and finished three days after the cross when He was resurrected in the same body God formed for Him in Mary's womb. John 2:19
There are presently existing multiple heavens, and a single earth with one Lord over all, seated on the throne God the Father prepared for Him from before the foundations of the present heavens and earth.
The fact that He will create a new heaven in singular, and a new earth in mention, validates that the current heavens and the present earth, along with the earthly elements, will pass away with a great noise.
I know we don't like to acknowledge this in our flesh. However, if there was another way, He would have told us. John 14
Gen 6:13, 2 Peter 3:5, and Jude 1:15 mentions the prophecy of Enoch concerning the destruction of all flesh, "along with the earth" included in Gen 6:13. In Jude 20 He declares, "But you, dear friends," by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, 21 [will] keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life, [and sustain you until you are transformed at the redemption of the body to immortality].
By His Holy Spirit invested in you as a first fruit seal of salvation, He is confirming a blessed hope for the redemption of the body to immortality, at the universal command when He will clothe us upon with the greater body of immortality, for those that are alive and remain in the earthly body when He comes down from heaven into our earthly atmosphere Himself bodily immortal for every eye to see, Him as He performs it.
We will be changed at that moment, and will never die in the body, therefore we, both those who have ascended before us, [in invisible rapture from the time Jesus ascended until the end, to be absent from the body in death, is to be present with the Lord where He is] and in our own generation ascending at the death in the body, until we who are alive and remain to His appearing from heaven, together with those that have ascended before us, altogether represent the total and final benefactors of the first resurrection, which is Jesus first alone immortal, then all the rest at the consummation.
This precedes the simultaneous destruction of the rest and makes clear the reason for the secondary resurrection. For this is after the saved are changed in the moment of His appearing, and the rest are killed by the absence of a sustaining environment, when the present heavens and earth pass away, the wicked are slain, and subsequently resurrected, to a final judgment in the resurrected and immortal body. In other words, all the saved are included in the first resurrection, and the only necessity of a second resurrection is for the final judgment against the rest, as depicted in 2 Peter 3.
Can you see it? An eternal wall of separation is thereby established between the wicked and the righteous in the greater body of universal expression in immortality some placed in the new heaven and new earth, and some in the eternal lake of fire built and prepared for the resurrected body of the unrepentant wicked of humanity.
All human beings will be resurrected as Jesus declared, some to everlasting life, and the rest to everlasting fire in the resurrected body. John 5:28-29
One body of people, all the saved of humanity, will be changed together with those who are alive and remain to His coming, this means with all those who have preceded us or ascended to His glory and presence before us without the body, or in the absence of the body, as Paul said, to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord who alone is immortal at present and welcoming them as they ascend to Him in every generation until the preordained end.
So it is that they who have ascended before us are already secured with Him in the cloud of witnesses, which is also being increased daily by those who believe and ascend as they die into the glory of His enthronement Immortal.
All who are changed at that moment ascending into His likeness and made immortal in the body, are rejoined bodily to His right hand, and another body of people at the second resurrection to His left hand, who had previously at their own death and separation from the body been given away in death, to hell and the grave, reserved for destruction and eternal judgment at the subsequent and at the consummation suffered similtaneous death and resurrection, of their body along with the rest.
Herein, we understand the necessity of the eternal lake of fire in which death, hell, and the grave are cast, along with the resurrected wicked bodily, as being specifically referred to in delineation between the two places of preservation in the absence from the body as a temporary containment, presently existing. Death and hell are a place of containment for the wicked in temporary before the final judgement, and heaven, for those secured eternally with Christ in the body of His immortality, is the greater.
From life in the Spirit to life in the redemption of the body to immortality for the voluntarily reconciled and saved, and from first commanded death in the body, self removed from God's breath and gospel, to 2nd death in the body of resurrection for the wicked.
When the heavens and the earth flee away, there is nothing hidden anymore, no place existing anymore, for the body of the wicked; no flesh can survive that, just as in the days of Noah, none outside the ark of Noah could survive the flood. God took their breath away; therefore, they must be secondarily resurrected for final judgment in the body, along with all who perished in likeness to them and were reserved in death, hell, and the grave, until their resurrection.
The revelation of Jesus Christ in the body of His Immortality is irreversibly substantiated in the eternal Jerusalem, of God's own building, where He is now, that Jerusalem that is above, and that which the Jerusalem on earth was modeled after in the days of David as an ensign for Christ in his generation.
Today, the same truth is more greatly confirmed since Jesus is enthroned there in the new Jerusalem, which preexisted the modeled city named Jerusalem on earth, but made new because of Jesus Christ's ascension to enthronement in the body immortal there, the same truth of the eternal City preexisting in the preordination of God the Father, to seat Him there, and made new by Christ's being actually seated there in the glory of the body immortal, for in Him all the fulness of the Godhead dwells in glory and presently in Heaven.
At the same time, moving forward on earth, the governmental model of America is based on the truths of God self-evident in the nature, our reproduction in the body of Adam, and of being born again, for fueling the Church to disciple the Nation, through oaths and pledges to hold to the same truths, in the same Spirit of the resurrected Christ, who is the Judge over our judiciary, the Lawgiver over the body of our legislators, and the King of Kings, over our President, according to Isaiah 33:22 and by witness of the same we are clearly sustained in civil peace for the homeland of the Church in proliferation.
We look up, and pray for the peace of the Jerusalem that is above, where the eternal and immortal King is enthroned in eternal glory to be manifest on earth in America through a more perfect voluntary union and brotherly affection as commanded by the Lord for everlasting life; He is high and lifted up above all the cities, people, and Nations that remain on earth, and therefore, the light and glory of His eternal face is that which overlays and eclipses the current heavens and the earth.
Luke 21:33 - "Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
