Jesus Christ's Forsaken Kingdom
If you look at John 18:36 you'll notice that Jesus Christ said that this world is not his kingdom. Now if you then look back at Jesus Christ's life you will notice that Jesus never used his own name as an authority.
Jesus Christ was always saying that he was doing everything in his Father's name. Everything Jesus Christ did was prophesied in the bible beforehand therefore it was not done under Jesus Christ's own authority alone. If Jesus Christ ever did anything here on earth in his own authority he would have instantly had made this world his kingdom.
For Jesus Christ had no sin (and wasn't under the penalty of death) and therefore had a right to claim this world as his domain, or kingdom. As God had given dominion of this world to the sinless Adam in the Garden of Eden. And since Jesus Christ is the first sinless ancestor of Adam and Eve Jesus Christ had the right to claim this world as his kingdom. If Jesus Christ had claimed this world as his kingdom our salvation would have been lost forever!
Thankfully Jesus Christ didn't claim this world as his kingdom or else none of us would ever have any salvation. Our salvation comes from the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and not by his everlasting life in this world as his kingdom.
The Bible was created by God so that nothing Jesus Christ ever did was done with, and under, his own authority. The Bible eliminated the possibility that Jesus Christ, God's son – God become man, would inadvertently claim this world as his kingdom for it foretold all the actions of Jesus Christ, the messiah, as being the actual will of God the Father in heaven...and not the will of his son Jesus Christ down here on earth!
Equally, the Holy Spirit in Jesus Christ guaranteed that all the miracles done by Jesus Christ were done under God the Father's authority and not under Jesus Christ's own authority.
John 18:36New International Version (NIV)
36 Jesus said, “My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jewish leaders. But now my kingdom is from another place.”
Jesus Christ's kingdom is in heaven with God the Father and God the Holy Spirit. If you want to be included in Jesus Christ's kingdom in heaven then just believe in Jesus Christ who is God's son, God become man, and you'll be included in the Lamb's Book of Life and gain eternal life with God (Father-Son-Holy Spirit) in heaven.
God Bless
note:
The Antichrist will not do anything in his own authority, to replicate the actions of Jesus Christ, and therefore any authority will rest with 'the beast'! …... Read the Book of Revelation
If Jesus Christ claimed this sinful world as his kingdom it would have been a declaration that sin was also a part of God's kingdom and therefore there would not be any punishment for sin! (hint:Hell)
When Satan tempted Jesus Christ in the desert Satan was trying to get Jesus Christ to act on his own authority thereby making this world his kingdom......it didn't work!
