The Second Coming Of Christ Is Here And Now 

 

 The Christ Can Only Come To Those Who Have Repented And Brought About Spiritual Transformation

 

The Christ is here at present. The Second Coming has been brought about. The Kingdom has come. The Promise of the Gospels are True. Those who have not Spiritually Repented, are unable to see either the Christ or the Kingdom that lies before them. Those who Repent from a spiritual perspective, the Christ comes to -- “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” 2 Peter 3:9. Those who are in a Spiritual Marriage (see Divine Marriage http://divinemarriage.nazirene.org/ ) and do not look upon a woman other than their wives with lust -- "But I say to you, anyone who looks on a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart" (Matt 5:28) -- and have transformed their lower nature -- i.e., "Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature" (Col 3:5). Unless a person truly repents and brings about transformational change, the Christ and the Kingdom cannot be seen or come to them. And of those who do repent from their carnally-driven ways, only these few see and are able to enter the Kingdom -- "Assuredly, I say to you, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom" (Matt 16:28). And the Gospel promise to those who do repent and embrace the transformative teachings of the Gospel, the promise is: "Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city. But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie" (Rev 22:14-15). If the text of the Revelation represented the end of the world, as is commonly believed by the majority of Christians today, then we must pose the question: Why are those who remain outside the city portrayed as "dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie"? Armageddon, then, indicates the disciples personal tribulation described as the "pangs of birth" (see Gate Of Eden http://gateofeden.com#overcome ), as the disciple endeavors to overcome his own lower carnal nature through the crucifixion of what is symbolized by the flesh, in order that he can possess the Knowledge of the fruit of the Tree of Life, transcend the natural barriers of this world, and "enter through the gates into the city".

 

The Second Coming is Now! Yet, the vast majority of Christians cannot see either the Christ or the "narrow gate" to the Kingdom, because they refuse to believe what Jesus taught. When he was asked about the Kingdom and what is known as the Second Coming, Jesus stated: "Assuredly, I say to you, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom" (Matt 16:28). Which provokes the question: Why did the Kingdom come within the few who Jesus made reference to, and not everyone else? And this statement that is generally ignored by those who claim to believe, has been true in every generation since. In every century, Jesus and the Kingdom came to those who had repented and embraced the Original Teachings which the Church of Rome rejected. When Jesus was asked when the Kingdom would come, he told them not to look for the Kingdom in the outer world in the manner of the Jews who he portrayed as the "spawn of the devil" for throwing away the Key of Knowledge (see The Devil's Spawn http://devilspawn.ebionite.com/ ). Why? Because the Christ and the Kingdom can only come within them: "And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God comes not with observation: Neither shall they say, See here! or, see there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you" (Luke 17:20-21). In order to enter the Kingdom, Jesus taught to enter through the "narrow gate" (see Spiritual Osmosis And The Narrow Gate http://lawofoctaves.nazirene.org/#Osmosis ).

If the words of Jesus are true -- and the Kingdom is within you -- then the question that Christians should be asking, is how must the Kingdom be entered? The answer is the proper application of the Key of Knowledge by turning the scriptures within your own mind and being -- i.e., "How terrible it will be for you experts in religious law! For you hide the key to knowledge from the people. You don't enter the Kingdom yourselves, and you prevent others from entering" (Luke 11:52). Thus, in understanding these words spoken to the Pharisees, the questions must be asked: How did the Pharisees and Jewish authorities "...hide the key to knowledge from the people"? Why did Jesus condemn the leaders of the Jews for failing to enter the Kingdom themselves? -- i.e., "...You don't enter the Kingdom yourselves"! And how did the religious leaders of the Jews "...prevent others from entering?" In further clarification, the TEV version of the this verse states: “How terrible for you teachers of the Law! You have kept the key that opens the door to the house of knowledge; you yourselves will not go in, and you stop those who are trying to go in!” (Luke 11:52 TEV). Thus, the scriptures when properly used, have the ability to "open the [inner] door to the House of Knowledge" -- and their outward interpretations whereby they seek the Kingdom to come outwardly (see The End Times - Armageddon/Rapture - The Coming Of The Kingdom http://treeoflife.nazirene.org/#EndTimes ), inhibits believers from "going in [the House of Knowledge]" -- and by teaching the people their outward ritual interpretations, they inhibited the community of believers from entering the Hose of Knowledge through the "narrow gate".

In the same way that there were the few who entered through the "narrow gate" and experienced the Coming of Christ, there are people who have embraced the Promise of the Gospel, and are in the process of having the Christ and the Kingdom come to them in the present. Repentance means the Transformation of the Self -- the spiritualization of the Family and the raising of Children -- and the building of Spiritual Communities that support the Coming and Presence of the Christ and the Kingdom. Quoting from The Spiritual Holistic Lifestyle http://lawofthegospels.ebionite.com/#TheSpiritualHolisticLifestyle

The teachings of Jesus was founded upon a spiritual mindset and lifestyle that was the Natural Environment to bring about spiritual growth and development -- built upon Consecrated Marriages that spawned natural growth and development beyond organic human consciousness (see The Real Facts Of Life You Were Never Told About http://therealfactsoflife.ebionite.com/ ) -- living on diets that did not pollute the body with death (see http://theconsecratedlife.ebionite.com/#mysteries ) -- in Spiritual Communities that acted as a Cocoon for Spiritual Advancement and Manifestation. The original Ebionite Nazirenes lived a Holistic Spiritual Lifestyle in Consecrated Marriages and highly advanced Spiritual Communities that enabled them to refine their lower earthly nature -- and this refined lower physical nature permitted them to comprehend man's higher Soul and Spiritual Realities that is beyond the comprehension of organic "natural" man. This Higher Spiritual Knowledge has been portrayed as the Mysteries of the Kingdom of God. As it is written: "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, to him I will give of the hidden manna" (Rev 2:17) And it is this Spiritual Holistic Lifestyle that Paul set forth when he stated: "Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature" (Col 3:5). From an Original Gospel perspective it must therefore be understood that if the congregation of believers could simply have faith, without living a Consecrated Life set apart from the thinking and lifestyle of the people of this world, then believers of the simple faith would not have been warned that: “For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live” (Rom 8:13).
