My KINGDOM is not of THIS WORLD

In stark contrast to the Kingdom of God and His Christ, this physical world is a fallen world, a lower dimension or “realm” devoid of GRACE.

Revelation 11:15: "Then the seventh angel sounded; and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “ The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ; and He will reign forever and ever.”

This present earth is a realm of entropy, death, consequence, and judgment.

Revelation 1:9-11 "I, John, your brother and fellow partaker in the tribulation and kingdom and perseverance which are in Jesus, was on the island called Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus. I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like the sound of a trumpet, saying, “Write in a book what you see, and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamum and to Thyatira and to Sardis and to Philadelphia and to Laodicea.”

This fallen world starkly contrasts with the Fifth Dimension, or the Spiritual Realm, which is the Kingdom of God and the redemptive work of KING Jesus, THE Christ.

 Matthew 19:28: "Jesus said to them, 'Truly I tell you, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.'"

Jesus, in his infinite love and mercy, came into this world, the third dimension bound by time, to save and redeem us. His sacrifice is a testament to his love for our Heavenly Father and us, and it is HIS redemption that we should hold in the highest reverence and gratitude.

Romans 15:17: "Therefore I glory in Christ Jesus in my service to God."

Jesus, in His infinite love and mercy, translated us from this lower realm by taking us higher, seating us with Him, IN CHRIST. This TRUTH, that believers ARE SEATED WITH CHRIST IN THE HEAVENLY REALM, is a testament to our ONENESS WITH JESUS.

Ephesians 2:6 "And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,"

But Jesus is not from this realm, this present dark world, but He did come and defeat it, conquering every enemy, including death. JESUS IS KING!

Matthew 8:27: “The men were amazed, and said, “What kind of a man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?”

Yes, Jesus is the King of Heaven and Earth, but this present Earth is passing away. With the coming of King Jesus, we get His Kingdom NOW. But there is more! Eventually, after a 1,000-year rule, we receive the NEW EARTH and HEAVEN--ALL BY GRACE!

John 18:36: "Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, then My servants would be fighting so that I would not be handed over to the Jews; but as it is, My kingdom is not of this realm.”

God's Plan for Humanity through King Jesus and the Kingdom of Heaven

God's plan for humanity is a magnificent tapestry centered on King Jesus and His Kingdom of Heaven, woven with threads of grace, love, restoration, and redemption.

Romans 7:6 "But now we have been released from the Law, having died to that by which we were bound, so that we serve in newness of the Spirit and not in oldness of the letter."

Through His suffering, torture, crucifixion, death, resurrection, and ascension, Jesus defeated and destroyed satan and his dark forces, reclaiming Earth’s dominion and ushering in a new era of divine GRACE and authority.

Ephesians 1:7-10: "In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace that he lavished on us. With all wisdom and understanding, he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ."

This Kingdom is known by various names, such as the Kingdom of Heaven, the Kingdom of Righteousness, the Kingdom of Peace, the Kingdom of Truth, the Kingdom of God's GRACE, the Kingdom of Jesus Christ, the Kingdom of Love, and the Kingdom of Light. God's KINGDOM transcends our earthly realm, and it exists in the higher dimensions, in the Fifth Dimension—a realm of God's GRACE: His Honor, Righteousness, Peace, Glory, Light, and Love.

Colossians 1:13-14: "For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins."

The Nature and Reign of the Kingdom

The Kingdom of Heaven is not a visible, earthly dominion but a supernatural or spiritual realm, a higher dimension where Jesus reigns supreme from the Throne of God's GRACE.

2 Corinthians 13:14 "Finally, brethren, rejoice, be made complete, be comforted, be like-minded, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you. Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the saints greet you. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all."

It is a Kingdom where we receive HIS righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.

Romans 14:17: "for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit."

Jesus' dominion is everlasting, encompassing all peoples, nations, and languages, as prophesied by Daniel.

Daniel 7:14: "And to Him was given dominion, Glory and a kingdom, That all the peoples, nations and men of every language Might serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion Which will not pass away; And His kingdom is one Which will not be destroyed."

King Jesus’ Kingdom is unshakeable, enduring forever.

Daniel 6:26: "I make a decree that in all the dominion of my kingdom men are to fear and tremble before the God of Daniel; For He is the living God and enduring forever, And His kingdom is one which will not be destroyed, And His dominion will be forever."

The resurrected Jesus, now our High Priest in the order of Melchizedek, continually intercedes for us, ensuring that we are always under His GRACE and protection.

Hebrews 5:10: "and (Jesus) was designated by God to be high priest in the order of Melchizedek."

Hebrews 6:20: "where our forerunner, Jesus, has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek."

Hebrews 7:1-3: "This Melchizedek was king of Salem (Jesus) and priest of God Most High (Jesus). He met Abraham returning from the defeat of the kings and blessed him, and Abraham gave him a tenth of everything. First, the name Melchizedek means “king of righteousness”; then also, “king of Salem” means “king of peace. Without father or mother, without genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, resembling the Son of God, he remains a priest forever."

Restoration and Transformation

In the Kingdom of Heaven, BELIEVERS are transformed into new creations, with old things passing away and new things coming.

2 Timothy 4:1: "I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom:"

This transformation is IN CHRIST, in the Fifth Dimension.

2 Corinthians 5:17: "Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come."

This transformation is ongoing as we are changed from glory to glory by the Spirit of the Lord.

2 Corinthians 3:18: "Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit."

Our humble bodies (third-dimensional bodies) will be transformed into like Jesus' glorious body (higher-dimensional body), demonstrating the power of His reign over all things.

Philippians 3:21: "who will transform the body of our humble state into conformity with the body of His glory, by the exertion of the power that He has even to subject all things to Himself."

This transformative power is not confined to the future but is at work within us now, enabling us to live out our heavenly citizenship while on Earth. Followers of Jesus Christ are equipped with spiritual gifts to manifest God's goodness from the Fifth Dimension, bringing His grace and love into our world.

Ephesians 2:19: "So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God’s household,"

Participation in the Kingdom

Believers are called to actively participate in God's Kingdom by living out their divine identity as a chosen race, a royal priesthood, and a holy nation.

1 Peter 2:9: "But you are a chosen race , a royal priesthood , a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;"

We are to let our light (from Christ) shine before others, reflecting God's love (from the Fifth Dimension) and leading others to glorify Him.

Matthew 5:16: "Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven."

The keys of the Kingdom have been given to us, empowering us to bind and loose on Earth as it is in Heaven. Although we currently reside in the third dimension bound by time, we are citizens of Heaven (Fifth Dimension), able to stand before the Throne of Grace and receive help and mercy in our time of need, right now, in this present moment.

Matthew 16:19: "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven.”

This participation involves a readiness to receive and act upon divine revelations, just as the early disciples did, embracing our roles in God's redemptive work.

Revelation 1:1-3: "The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show to His bond-servants, the things which must soon take place; and He sent and communicated it by His angel to His bond-servant John, who testified to the word of God and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, even to all that he saw. Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and heed the things which are written in it; for the time is near."

The Reality of the Fifth Dimension

The Kingdom of Heaven, synonymous with the Fifth Dimension, is more real and tangible than our physical world. It is the realm where Jesus exercises His divine power and authority, interceding for us and executing the Father’s will, which is also His will.

Ephesians 3:20: "Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us,"

Despite being unseen, the Fifth Dimension profoundly impacts our lives as we draw from its resources of GRACE, miracles, and divine interventions.

Matthew 11:5: "the blind receive sight and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them."

The resurrection power that raised Jesus from the dead is available to us, bringing life and transformation into this present dimension.

Romans 8:11: "But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you."

Endurance and Hope

As we await the return of our Savior, Jesus Christ, we are reminded that our true citizenship is in Heaven.

Philippians 3:20: “For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ;”

The promise of being caught up to meet the Lord in the air gives us hope and assurance of eternal union with Him.

1 Thessalonians 4:17: “Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord.”

Jesus' warnings about the end times call us to vigilance and readiness, ensuring that we remain steadfast in faith and active in proclaiming the Gospel.

Matthew 24:1-14: Jesus left the temple and was walking away when his disciples came up to him to call his attention to its buildings. “Do you see all these things?”he asked. “Truly I tell you, not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.”

Matthew 25:1-13: "As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many. You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains. “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. At that time, many will turn away from the faith, betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.”

God's plan for humanity, revealed through King Jesus and the Kingdom of Heaven, is a call to embrace our divine identity and purpose. As citizens of Heaven, we are invited to live in the GRACE stored for us, the Fifth Dimension, thus allowing us to participate in God's redemptive work on Earth now.

Jesus’ divine mission for us involves reflecting God's love, living out His Kingdom's values, and bringing Christ's light to the world. By doing so, we join in the fulfillment of God's promises, experiencing and sharing the transformative power of His GRACE (from the Fifth Dimension), and preparing for the glorious return of our Lord Jesus Christ here on Earth.

God's Plan of Redemption for Humanity through King Jesus and the Kingdom of Heaven

God, who exists outside of time, space, and all dimensions, has always had a plan for humanity. This plan, unchanging and perfect, is to dwell with man for all eternity. Even before the creation of the world and the universe, God’s plan was in place. This divine plan of salvation by GRACE, from the Throne of GRACE, was brought to fruition through Jesus Christ.
