“But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:” 1 Peter 2:9 (KJV 1900)
Yes. but some are still outside, sir and in the kingdom of darkness.
We were in fact called up and seated in the heavenly realms sir....
IN...CHRIST JESUS...
But there will come a time when the kingdoms of this world WILL become the kingdoms of OUR LORD and HE will reign...
Right now, the kingdoms of this world, still contain sin and the prince of the air still has the ability to go out and cause confusion and to sew in seeds of doubt and to steal from GOD what rightfully should belong to GOD.
There is a REFUGE sir...and that REFUGE is in CHRIST,...that HOUSE is being built up now in the body of HIS SON...but that Kingdom will be given back to THE FATHER, when all has been accomplished, when HE has put the last of HIS enemies under HIS footstool..until then, sin is still in the world,...for HE hasn´t yet removed sin and every false prophet...
When HE does, then will there be NO DOORS, NO GATES and nothing unholy will ever be able to enter THAT KINGDOM...
there will be a temple built sir...but by those who do not know THE GOSPEL and do not understand that the PROMISED ISRAEL is not a piece of land, but THE SON...a refuge provided in THE SON...
