When our Lord was on the earth, He said to the people, search the scriptures for in them ye think ye find eternal life, but they are they which do testify of me and ye will not come to me. We must understand at the time our Lord gave this teaching, the only Scriptures that were in existence was what we call the Old Testament today, the New Testament had not yet been born, because the testator had not passed away. He was referring them to the Psalms and to the books of the prophets. We can read in the Scriptures that in the forty days, after He came from the grave, He taught His disciples of the mysteries of the Kingdom of God, He unravelled unto them the meaning of all of the Psalms and all of those things that were in the prophets, and they could not understand these things prior to that, because they were written by the power of God, the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit had not yet came upon them, but when He entered into locked doors and said “Receive ye the Holy Ghost”, they, then, during that forty day period, gained an understanding of what the Scriptures were foretelling for the future, for all.

Psalm 24 virtually tells the fullness of His plan, which began with His Father as the Creator, who created all things and everything therein, and He owned everything and He told them of the plan that the creation was made so that he could bring within the world, a generation of people who would look up unto God and be prepared to partake of the highest of heavens at the appropriate time. He spoke to them in that Psalm about the downfall of man, how man had allowed himself to be tempted into sin and as a result of this, there was now division between God and man. ,”He gave hope in that Psalm, that there would be a day of coming when God’s will would be fulfilled and He would once again be able to take mankind and give him the promise that was created for him.

He spoke about a holy city, a holy place, He was not speaking about the city that those people could see at that time, He was giving hope of something for the future – the Kingdom of God. He spoke and told them that the Kingdom of God was being prepared and that they, if they followed and partook of the blessings offered unto them, that they too, could be partakers of this Kingdom of God. We inherit that promise today.

Many Christians in the world today, have lost track of what the object of our faith is, to be part of this Kingdom of God. The Kingdom of God is a period of time on earth where for a thousand years, God’s blessings will be given in peace and as partakers of this Kingdom of God, where there will be no death, no sickness, no sorrow, no troubles, no problems in the world, we will be fed by God and we can live with Him in this holy place, at peace where His will can be done, as He showers us with His blessings, and from there we go to eternal life. That is why He gave specific instructions to His Apostles that they had to go forth and preach the Kingdom of God. He came to tell us of the Kingdom of God and we must never lose track of this kingdom. He told us the way to the kingdom, He gave instructions to the gates, to the doors, He said, “Look up 0 ye gates, look up, 0 ye everlasting door”, which means we must look to the power of God and we must ask ourselves what is this everlasting door.

If we look at the temples of man, they do not last forever, but Christ Himself, taught us of this everlasting door, He said, “I am the door to the sheepfold.” He has become the everlasting way through which we can enter into the Kingdom of God, and we must never take that door away. He said that if we wish to understand the way to the Kingdom of God, then we must call and hear His words to the people and He said, 0 Jacob.

Now we know that in symbol form, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, represent Abraham as the Father, Isaac as the Son that was to be sacrificed, and Jacob as the power of the Holy Spirit. Jacob had twelve sons, representing the twelve fold Apostle ministry, and through the power of the Holy Spirit, would take this Word of God into the world, so that we could understand it. That is why we and all Christians, recite in the Apostle creed, that we believe in the Holy Ghost, the Holy Spirit, we believe in the Universal Apostolic Church, we believe in the communion with saints, we believe in the forgiveness and remission of our sins, we believe in the resurrection to life everlasting. This Holy Spirit tells us to continue to believe that in a troubled world, where we see so many things happening within the world, that are sent to break down this faith and this belief. We have this spirit within us and it will urge us at all times to believe in the Kingdom of God, to believe in God’s word and to trust in it and then we can go through life fulfilling those things that the Psalmist said that there would be righteousness come into the world, righteousness through Christ, that would reconcile us to God, that would show us humility to wash our hands, there would be the ability to have a pure heart and then we will say, “Who is this God of glory?”

This God of glory that will come into the world to take all of those who are prepared and be ready and waiting for this great event to take place. We will be able to answer The Lord, “He is The God of glory.” Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, we will all witness and see Him coming and He will take us to His Kingdom, He is the promise, He is the Word of God, He is our hope, He is what we yearn and live for, and we have to be careful that we are not side tracked in any way from this.
