The Apostles assembled one last time in Jerusalem with Jesus and He spoke the following then ascended back to heaven.

Apostles — “Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel? Jesus– “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has set by His own authority”. (Acts 1:6)

They had learned of the Great Teacher and they knew the Scriptures. Ezekiel, Jeremiah, Daniel, Isaiah and the rest. They spoke of a kingdom of glory established on the earth, not neccesarily in heaven. Yes the Bible speaks of a heavenly kingdom but it also speaks of an earthly kingdom BEFORE that. It was a promise spoken over and over again such as —

“Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of My pasture!” says the Lord. Therefore thus says the Lord God of Israel against the shepherds who feed My people: “You have scattered My flock, driven them away, and not attended to them. Behold, I will attend to you for the evil of your doings,” says the Lord. But I will gather the remnant of My flock out of all countries where I have driven them, and bring them back to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase  I will set up shepherds over them who will feed them; and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, nor shall they be lacking,” says the Lord.

“Behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord, that I will raise to David a Branch of righteousness;
A King shall reign and prosper, and execute judgment and righteousness in the earth. In His days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell safely; Now this is His name by which He will be called:

THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.

Therefore, behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord, “that they shall no longer say, ‘As the Lord lives who brought up the children of Israel from the land of Egypt,’  but, ‘As the Lord lives who brought up and led the descendants of the house of Israel from the north country and from all the countries where I had driven them.’ And they shall dwell in their own land.” (Jer. 23:1-8)

“Thus says the Lord God: “When I have gathered the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, and am hallowed in them in the sight of the Gentiles, then they will dwell in their own land which I gave to My servant Jacob. And they will dwell safely there, build houses, and plant vineyards; yes, they will dwell securely, when I execute judgments on all those around them who despise them. Then they shall know that I am the Lord their God.” (Ezekiel 28:25-26)


 “Whereas you saw the feet and toes, partly of potter’s clay and partly of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; yet the strength of the iron shall be in it, just as you saw the iron mixed with ceramic clay. And as the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly fragile.  As you saw iron mixed with ceramic clay, they will mingle with the seed of men; but they will not adhere to one another, just as iron does not mix with clay.  And in the days of these kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.”(Daniel 2:41-44)

“And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord’s house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.” (Isaiah 2:2-3)

So with these promises of the Lord, how can any serious Bible student refuse to accept them? Afterall His word will not return void.

“So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.” (Isaiah 55:11)

We shall indeed learn the full ramifications of the following promise of the Lord —

“And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.” (Matt. 24:14)

That promise is so misconstrued by our SDA brethren.

Unfortunately most SDA leaders do not proclaim these promises. There is a myriad of reasons and we shall go over them in part 2 (possibly adding a final part 3). This IS the final plans of the Lord and we would be wise to subscribe to these promises. His word is like a beautiful puzzle picture and if we miss placing these pieces in the puzzle picture we shall be held accountable. The Lord is serious about our knowledge of His word and promises.

“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being a priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.” (Hosea 4:6)

With the cares of this world many of us sit watching TV, being on the computer or handheld, or out for entertainment night after night, the Bible collecting dust on the shelve! Let that not be you or I.
