The Gates of the kingdom of God.

Welcome to our website

By Joe Daniels

The Gates of the kingdom of God, the New Jerusalem that came down out of heaven as a result of the work of Christ, and his apostles are opened for Salvation forever! Unlike the teachings of the “Israel Only” cult we believe that salvation is open to all as a result of the first century. We believe that we are in an ETERNAL DAY! We will reveal that to you, but we want to cover a few things first. The Gospel as we have it in our bibles, is an eternal gospel, still preached and received by people today; hence entrance into the kingdom is entered eternally!

“Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth—to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people—Revelation 14:6

What is the Gospel? By definition it means “good news” or “good message”. The good news is that God has done everything that needs to be done so that men can be saved! It isn't good news that is locked up as a secrete but an announcement of that good message!

The Greek word is εὐαγγέλιον which is made up of two words εὖ meaning “good” and ἄγγελος meaning “angel” or “messenger”.

So by it's very definition, the good news is to be preached, or proclaimed. But for how long? Does it come to an end at some point in time as some claim that point in time has already occurred? We first want to establish the fact that Jesus set up an everlasting kingdom here for all people of all nations to serve Him forever.

“And there was given Him (Jesus) dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and His kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.” Daniel 7:14

We certainly would believe that this points to Jesus ascending to the Father to reign as king forever. We also would state that in Daniel verse twenty seven we see the kingdom, dominion, and greatness of all kingdoms under the whole earth are given to the saints His body the saints, as an everlasting kingdom and all dominions shall serve and obey Him.

We all know that the apostles pointed to the coming Day of the Lord! There are quite a few like Heb.10:25 , A day of rest Heb.4:4-10 , a day of visitation! Peter 2:12 etc…. there truly is a lot of scripture pointing to this “DAY” Like in Rom.13:11-12 The day of salvation was near & the “DAY” was at hand…. It was of the coming of the kingdom.

In Revelation chapter fifteen in verse one where we read that the wrath of god is complete, we then in verses 3-4 read about the singing of the song of Moses and the Lamb saying:“ ... Great and marvelous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints. Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest.” Rev. 15:3-4.

So we have a clear indication here that after the wrath of God is completed in A.D. 70 we all nation “shall come” (future tense) to worship before thee! We see this prophesied in Isaiah 66:22-24 with the arrival of the new heavens and new earth as we read:

22 “For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the Lord, so shall your seed and your name remain. 23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the Lord. 24 And they shall go forth, and look upon the corpses of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.” Isaiah 66:22-24

So we can see that in the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70 we are told that the new heavens and earth remain and “All flesh” afterwards will be able to look upon this destruction against those who transgressed God! This does not look like the end of the kingdom of God that Jesus came to set up has any end at all! All flesh is to look upon this destruction, (And they do through God's word and a little knowledge of history.) and they will WORSHIP HIM! After all God is the same, yesterday, today, and forever! (Heb. 13:8) He is, was, and always will be the God of ALL FLESH! (Jerm. 32:27) To Him be the glory in all ages forever and ever! “To Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.”Eph. 3:21

Looks like the church is the kingdom, the new heaven and earth that remains after the parousia in AD 70, and so the good news must still be preached and received! Building upon the eternal kingdom, and the new heaven and earth that remains forever as we have read above in Isaiah 66:22 we now turn to Revelation chapter 21 where we see that the new heaven and earth comes down out of heaven and God dwells among man. When we get to the end of the chapter we read something very interesting about this new Jerusalem. We are going to post a transliteration of the Greek for you”

καὶ οἱ πυλῶνες αὐτῆς οὐ μὴ κλεισθῶσιν And the gates of it no not they close

ἡμέρας νὺξ γὰρ οὐκ ἔσται ἐκεῖ days night for not shall be there

Rev. 21:25

So post AD 70 we see that the gates of the kingdom are always open! Gosh that's really “good news”! Well brothers and sisters, that what the word Gospel means! We are told that the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars will not be able to enter the kingdom! (Rev. 21:8 & 27) God made this promise in the old testament that the gates would continually be open, and now get this … open to and for foreigners, gentiles who would bring their wealth to the kingdom of God!

καὶ ἀνοιχθήσονται αἱ πύλαι σου And shall be open the gates of you

διὰ παντός ἡμέρας καὶ νυκτὸς through all days and nights

οὐ κλεισθήσονται … not be locked …

Isa. 60:11 LXX

As we stated in the beginning of this article, we believe that we are in an ETERNAL DAY! It's an eternal day of salvation where the eternal gospel is still being preached and received! It’s important in understanding that salvation was granted back then in the first century, and is still open to all who will accept the gift of Jesus Christ today! When one hears the gospel and is baptized into Christ, they then enter into that eternal day which extends into eternity! Let's look at two scriptures that speak of this day, the day that we are now in, it was a day that the first century saints waited for:

“The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.” Rom. 13:12 (NKJV)

“And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.” 2 Peter 1:19 (NKJV)

That Day spoken of and waited for, is an eternal Day of Salvation that never ends! Let us now share with you the Greek of 2 Peter 3:18 to prove and make it abundantly clear. We want you to see this in the Greek for yourself.

αὐξάνετε δὲ ἐν χάριτι καὶ γνώσει Grow but in grace and knowledge

τοῦ κυρίουἡ μῶν καὶ σωτῆρος Ἰησοῦ of the Lord of us and savior Jesus

Χριστοῦ αὐτῷ ἡ δόξα καὶ νῦν Christ to Him the glory and now

καὶ εἰς ἡμέραν αἰῶνος ἀμήν and into ( the) day of eternity. Amen

2 Peter 3:18

Yes the gates are open and many are coming into the kingdom daily, and forever! They will be open for those who want to heed the gospel message for all eternity! Great news if you ask us! The Israel Only perverted doctrine is terrible news, by definition it is plain and simply – POISON! Yet the power of scripture allows us to understand that the Kingdom, The new Jerusalem, The new heavens and earth will remain before God! And all flesh will worship Him , not just Jews! (Isa. 66:22-23)

“And it shall come to pass that everyone who is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the Feast of Tabernacles.” Zech. 14:16

Not only will the kingdom continue, and the gates to be opened forever ...but we are to rule with Jesus the King of Kings!

25 But hold fast what you have till I come. 26 And he who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations—27 ‘He shall rule them with a rod of iron; They shall be dashed to pieces like the potter’s vessels’—as I also have received from My Father; Rev. 2:25-27

15 “Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16 And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.” Rev. 19:15-16

The good news for us post A.D. 70 is that we are also called to “RULE” (Greek ποιμανεῖ ) meaning to Shepard, rule, govern, even to nourish. With a rod of iron, is a figure of the gospel that is used to chasten with the word of truth. This obviously is began with the word giver Himself Jesus and the authority is passed on to His church who were, and are still commissioned to proclaim it!

By the victory of Christ in His death, burial, resurrection, and parousia we are set in His kingdom as conquerors! Rejoicing we preach, to God be glory in the everlasting church by Christ Jesus to all generations, as the KJV phrases it, “world without end”.
