2-2. The Kingdom of God of the Trinity

 2-2. The Kingdom of God of the Trinity

 

In Genesis 1:1, "In the beginning God created the heavens (הַשָּׁמַ֖יִם hashamayim) and the earth (הָאָֽרֶץ ha'erets)"

Shamayim means heaven, but the article ha is added in front to make hashamayim, which is that heaven. The specific heaven refers to the kingdom of God. The kingdom of God is not multiple, but one. Jehovah God is also one. However, the rest in the kingdom of God was broken because of the angels who sinned. So God predestined Christ, and as his first plan, he confined the sinners to the material world. And God himself became the first man, gave them a body of sin, and then died on the cross as the last Adam and gave them a spiritual body that gives life.

In the existing doctrine of the Trinity, God is expressed as the Trinity of three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. However, the fundamental meaning of the Trinity is that Jesus in God the Father, Jesus the Son, and Jesus Christ in the hearts of the saints become one through the Holy Spirit.

Likewise, the kingdom of God is the same concept. So the kingdom of God the Father, the kingdom of God of the resurrected Jesus Christ, and the kingdom of God established in the hearts of the saints by uniting with the resurrected Jesus are connected by the Holy Spirit. Just as the God of the Trinity is one, the three kingdoms of God become one.

First Heaven

The first heaven refers to the kingdom of God where the Father is on the throne. It is the kingdom of God where the Father God is present in spirit. No one has ever seen it. However, we can know it through Jesus Christ. In 1 Timothy 6:16, it says, "To Him alone is immortal, living in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see. To Him be honor and everlasting power. Amen."

Second Heaven

The second heaven is the kingdom of Jesus Christ, the kingdom of the resurrected Jesus Christ who is present in a spiritual body. In Colossians 1:12-13, it says, "Giving thanks to the Father, who has made us fit to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light, for he has delivered us from the power of darkness and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love."

Third Heaven

Some call it the Millennium Kingdom, the Garden of Eden, or the New Heaven and New Earth. The Apostle Paul mentions the Third Heaven in 2 Corinthians 12:2: "I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago (whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows) was caught up to the third heaven. And I know such a man (whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows) that he was caught up into paradise, and heard inexpressible words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter."

Ephesians 2:6 states that the beings of the third heaven are those who were resurrected in union with the resurrected Jesus Christ and have already been seated in heaven. 1 Corinthians 15:44 states, “It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.” The Greek word translated as spiritual body is soma pneumatikon (spiritual body). This third heaven is the lost Garden of Eden and refers to the kingdom of God (ton uranon) that must be restored on this earth.

The kingdom of God is one, but it is explained in three ways. The first heaven, the second heaven, and the third heaven are connected by the Holy Spirit and operate according to the word of Jehovah God. The kingdom of God is one, but because of the angel who sinned in the kingdom of God, the kingdom of God appears in three forms.

1. Man-made doctrines confuse the meaning of monotheism

1. Man-made doctrines confuse the meaning of monotheism   People in the world have a desire to believe in God. They seek God in their own language. In English, they call him God, in China, Heavenly Emperor, in Islam, Allah, and in Jews, El. These names are common nouns. They think that the God they believe in is real. Even within Christianity, it is ambiguous whether the God each believe in is real or not. In the past, during the Exodus, when the Israelites reached Mount Sinai to receive the Ten Commandments from God, Moses did not come down for 40 days, so the people made a golden calf and worshiped it as God. In this way, each person thinks of God as his own. Even the subjective expression of saying that one must meet God personally is an embodiment of God in oneself. However, among the many names, there is only one God. All others are fake. That One revealed His name to a man named Moses. In Exodus 3:14, "And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shal...

4. Not understanding the biblical meaning of humans and angels

  4. Not understanding the biblical meaning of humans and angels   The scene when God created man is described in Genesis 2:7: "And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being." In Hebrew, a living being is nephesh haya, which means a living being. A person is composed of a spirit and a body. However, when a person dies, Ecclesiastes 12:7 says, "The dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it." The spirit should be in God, but being in the dust of the world is not in its perfect form. The spirit in the dust is dead. John 6:63 says, "It is the spirit that gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life." After Jesus died on the cross, 1 Peter 3:18 says, "For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death i...

8. Minimizing the meaning of the death and resurrection of the cross

  8. Minimizing the meaning of the death and resurrection of the cross   The death of Jesus Christ on the cross frees all repentant sinners from sin. This means that all sins, past, present, and future, are forgiven. This means that God forgives those who enter into Jesus ’ atoning death in this way. However, people in the church community say that only past sins are forgiven, and present and future sins must be forgiven again through the blood of Jesus. That is why they repent every day and pray for forgiveness through the blood of Jesus. How wrong is this behavior? Romans 8:1 says, "Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." And Hebrews 10:17-18 says, "And their sins and lawless deeds I will remember no more. Wherefore, wherefore, wherefore, there is no more sacrifice for sin." If a believer does not believe what the Bible says, he is committing the sin of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. Is the resurrection the body rec...
