End time message= the good news of the kingdom

[deepfaithpraise]

Matt 24:14--This good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all nations then the end will come.

So what do you know about the good news of the kingdom?
The bible is filled with many teachings on it. All true followers know those teachings because it's the message being taught in these last days. Please share some thoughts.

The Nearness of the Kingdom: Jesus announced that the Kingdom of God is at hand, calling us to repentance and faith. This Kingdom is not merely a future promise but a present reality, where God’s love and justice begin to transform our lives and our world.

Salvation and Redemption: At the heart of the Good News is the salvation offered through Jesus Christ. By His life, death, and resurrection, Jesus opened the way for us to be reconciled with God, offering forgiveness and new life. This is the ultimate expression of God’s love for humanity.

A Call to Love and Service: The Kingdom of God calls us to love one another as Jesus loved us. It is a Kingdom where the last are first, the humble are exalted, and we are all called to serve the least among us. In living out this love, we bear witness to the reality of God’s Kingdom on earth.

Hope for the Future: The Good News assures us that God’s Kingdom will be fully realized when Christ returns. This hope encourages us to live faithfully, knowing that our labor in the Lord is not in vain and that His justice and peace will ultimately prevail.

The new jerusalem= the bride of Christ. Jerusalem represents Gods rulers mortal kings( throne= back in the OT days) same with the bride they will be co rulers with Christ on thrones( Rev 1:6, Rev 20:6)-- Its not an actual city.

You been told twice in Rev. Its up to you to believe. I believe His testimony. And again ALL that the Father gives Jesus will come to Him and its His Fathers will to raise them up on the last day. A gathering from the end of the heavens to the ends of the earth on the last day.

The one who is victorious I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will they leave it. I will write on them the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God; and I will also write on them my new name.

"Blessed are the Meek, for They Will Inherit the Earth"​

Yes the resurrection occurs on the last day to earth.= the 2nd resurrection--The first resurrection began here-Rev 6:2= the anointed bride of Christ who will be co rulers on thrones( Rev 1:6, Rev 20:6) = the little flock( Luke 12:32) =144,000 literal bought from the earth( Rev 14:3)- these rule on thrones as kings and priests.

The New Jerusalem the City of God comes down from heaven and Gods place from that day forward is with man. He will make everything new. This was shown to you and its stated twice in Rev. Nobody remains in heaven not even God.

It was known and taught in regard to the resurrection of the righteous that it would be on the last day and a gathering of all the elect with those still alive on earth caught up so that they to can be clothed with immortality as flesh and blood can not inherit the everlasting kingdom promised to those who love and obey Him. In the 1st resurrection as stated in REV it was noted those who were killed by the beast that remained faithful to Jesus. Therefore those not raised on that day must be those who suffer.

If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise. What was that promise? That they remain in heaven or reside in the land shown to Abraham on earth?

Jesus stated its His Fathers will to raise all those the Father gives Him them up on the last day. The righteous dead will be raised with imperishable bodies. Where are those raised in your resurrection that took place as they live and never die.

For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who beholds the Son and believes in Him will have eternal life, and I Myself will raise him up on the last day.
"
There is one resurrection of the righteous and one resurrection of the unrighteous. A 1000 years between them as I read. This is the Christian faith but as you stated you are a member of the JW church.

It's clear testimony to me. Who told you otherwise? Certainly not God.

The one who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he will not go out from it anymore; and I will write on him the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God, and My new name.

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.

You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign on the earth.”

Rev 21:2 shows its the bride=the new Jerusalem.-- God is with ( righteous)mankind now from heaven. He doesn't need to be on earth to be with mankind. verse 3 says-The tent( Gods total protection) will be with mankind.

Rev 21:2 shows its the bride=the new Jerusalem.-- God is with ( righteous)mankind now from heaven. He doesn't need to be on earth to be with mankind. verse 3 says-The tent( Gods total protection) will be with mankind.

Its not a matter of need its a matter of His will.

Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,” a for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. 2I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 4‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ b or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”

I can't make you believe but I do.
Jesus states:
He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go out no more. I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God.

That statement from Jesus is to the little flock=these( Rev 1:6, Rev 20:6, Rev 14:3)
There is alot of symbolism in revelation.

The City is described in detail. 12 foundations, width, height, length, walls, streets, gates guarded by Angels with measurements given. I believe God's testimony in regard to that City and Jesus's stating the same. It comes down to earth.

It appears God is going to merge heaven and earth together as something made new as is suggested by height of the City.

By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going. 9 By faith he made his home in the promised land like a stranger in a foreign country; he lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise. 10 For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God.

New earth= Gods kingdom rule in full control forever, no more satan influences.

I read the City comes down from heaven to earth and Gods place from that time forward is with man. Didn't you read that? Why are you stating otherwise?
Satan and his angels are consigned to the lake of fire as well as the souls of the unrighteous.

Lake of fire = eternal destruction. The city is the bride if you read verse 21:2. verse 3= the tent of God is with mankind= Gods total protection and love=forever. That is how God is with mankind.

I'm not sure who told you that but I am sure it wasn't from above.

The angel said to me, “These words are trustworthy and true
Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city.

The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their splendor into it. 25On no day will its gates ever be shut, for there will be no night there. 26The glory and honor of the nations will be brought into it. 27Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life.

Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb 2down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. 3No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him. 4They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. 5There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever.

Your last paragraph is about the little flock who live in heaven. Its those who will reign by Jesus side( Rev 1:6, Rev 20:6) the great crowd will remain on earth forever.

No its clearly not and you should consider all the testimony stated about that city as the nations will bring their splendor into that city and walk by its light. Jesus directly stated that city it comes down from heaven and it was well understood and taught the resurrection of the righteous was on the last day a gathering of all from the ends of the earth to the ends of the heaven as Gods will be dictated to the Son. Therefore no one who belongs to Christ remains in heaven and those no raised on that day must be those who suffer who are raised before the judgment throne as noted in the 2nd resurrection to be condemned and consigned to the lake of fire which is the 2nd death.

And it shows that city is the bride. Not a literal city.
How much sense would it make in your scenario for God to raise those not considered righteous just to tell them you are going back to death, when they are already dead? Then according to Romans 6:7( Acquitted of all sin at death)--God will rejudge them on their past sins once they have paid in full already the wages of sin= death. And they will have to pay the wages a second time=Not the true God of the bible who has perfect justice.

"How much sense would it make" instead of "what says scripture?". There is the fundamental error, using what seems right to you instead of "what does God's Word teach?"

There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death. (Prov. 14:12 NKJ)

Like a man looking into a mirror and asking the reflected image: "What makes sense to you", instead of carefully studying every word in the Bible text and its context, to know the truth.

No night in that City, the nations will bring their splendor into that City, No temple in that city for God and the lamb are the temple. The new "Jersusalem" which is a city coming down out of heaven from God. Its stated as a city with dimensions given with walls, gates, foundations and streets. With gates and foundations named after the 12 apostles and 12 tribes of Isreal. And entrance into that city is restricted to only the children of God. And the testimony given twice is that it will descend from heaven to earth. The resurrection is to be "all those the Father gave to Jesus will go to Him" to the earth on the last day in imperishable bodies as has been testified and that was well understood and taught. No saint remains in heaven not even their Lord, Jesus the Son of Man, who will return in His glory on/with the clouds of heaven as is testified to in Daniel 7 and by Jesus Himself.

The head of the body Christ Jesus has testified to these truths, if some other states different you will need to choose who you will follow as you cannot serve two masters.

“Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city.

Do not state that those who believe in the Trinity are in darkness and lack the Holy Spirit. That is an attack on Christianity and will not be tolerated, as per ToS 1.11:
