TWO KINGDOMS

WHY- The Two Kingdoms ? Which One is for whom? Why are The Two misused Today ?
I would offer the word "two" the dynamic dual. Our invisible Holy Father Christ working in the visible dying Son of man. Jesus

Two is used in parables to represent our one invisible God has spoken called the law of faith\ power to raise the dead.

The two become one. The law of creation. #1 God faithfully prophesied."let there be" and #2 the testimony seen was "God alone good "

The unseen kingdom of God working in the kingdoms of dying men .

In 1 Samuael 8 the atheist Jew gathered themself together and demanded of Samuel the apostle that he give them a king to reign over them because of their jealousy of al the surrounding pagan nations and their godless foundation. Out of sight out of mind. God calls fools. The time of reformation came (Hebrew 9)

The veil was rent there was no dying Jewish man sitting in the holy of hollies Satan fell into a bottomless pit he could no longer deceive all the nations that God is a dying Jewish man as King of kings. He will be released for a short time at the end of the age under the Sun to again try and seduce all the nations God is a dying Jewish man as King of kings

Revelation 2020 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.;And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
 
Col 1:12 always thanking the Father. He has enabled you to share in the inheritance that belongs to his people, who live in the light.
Col 1:13 For he has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of his dear Son, (NLT)

1Pe 2:9 But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light. (NLT)
 
Odd, I always thought of Hell as punishment, period.

Hell is the daily suffering we experience in these bodies of death.

Yoked with Christ the burden is lighter with a living hope beyond what the eyes see the temporal dying
 
WHY- The Two Kingdoms ? Which One is for whom? Why are The Two misused Today ?
There are only two kingdoms in Scripture: the Kingdom of God and the kingdom of this world. That’s it. No gray area. Colossians 1:13 says God “delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son.” You’re either in or you’re out.

The Kingdom of God is for those who are born again through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ (John 3:3). It’s not for the religious, the self-righteous, or the cultural Christian. It’s for those who have died to sin and now walk in obedience to the Lord (Romans 6:11–13).

The kingdom of this world is where everyone else still lives. It includes the proud, the rebellious, the lukewarm, and even those who claim to follow Jesus but continue in sin without repentance (James 4:4, Ephesians 2:1–3).

So why are the two misused today? Because people don’t want to offend. They try to merge the two. Churches are full of people who live like the world, but no one dares to draw a line. The result is confusion and compromise. But Jesus made it clear in Matthew 7:21–23: not everyone who says “Lord” will enter the kingdom. Only those who do the will of the Father.

You can’t live for both kingdoms. Jesus said, “He that is not with me is against me” (Luke 11:23). There’s no middle ground. No dual citizenship. Either you’ve been transferred into His kingdom by faith and obedience, or you’re still in the dark. Simple as that.
