His Kingdom: An Eternal Kingdom

"And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end." (Luke 1:33) 


Hello To All:

Does eternity have a beginning? The "house of Jacob" had a beginning in the historical time-line that defines our journey. My life, and your lives all had a beginning in the historical time-line that defines our journey. But, according to the King's Book, God has known us from before the foundations of the world. (Ephesians 1:4). We are captive to a historical time-line; God is not! In a historical sense, we have a beginning and an end. God does not. In the natural realms: we are born, we live and then we die. God does not!

The truth that we were known by God, before our birth in the natural realms, should get our attention. Once in a while, someone might ask me: what is my age? Often, my response is something like this: I am older than time! All of us, who belong to Jesus of Nazareth, can make this same statement of truth: we are older than time! This is true because God has known us from before the beginning of time: As it is written:

"According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:" (Ephesians 1:4).

Thus, because God has known us from before the beginning of time; and because God has always known all things: it can be rightly concluded that we have always been eternal beings: without a beginning and without an end! Can we say thank you Jesus! Amen and Amen and Amen!

This reality of the truth of our eternal nature is an integral part of the fullness of our identity in Christ Jesus. The more complete that our understanding of our identity is, the less confusion there will be in our journey. "Victorious Discipleship In Christ Jesus," is predicated upon diminishing confusion.

Thus, it should be rightly understood that as eternal beings, we are members of an eternal Kingdom; and the eternal King is Jesus of Nazareth, who is the Christ, the Son of the Living God. We find confirmation of this truth in the King's Book, where we find written:

"But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of thy kingdom." (Hebrews 1:8).

Before the historical reality of the nation of Israel; and before the historical reality of each one of us; Jesus of Nazareth was and always will be King! His Kingdom has always been in existence; and His Kingdom will always be in existence! It is an eternal Kingdom!

Until next time, my beloved brethren, in Christ Jesus, I continue to be:

Your servant and your fellow pilgrim,
Elder Theophilus
