PREPARE FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD

 How do we prepare the way for the coming of Christ at the advent of the coming new age? How did John, two thousand years ago, as he Introduced the concept of " the Kingdom of God?" This is a necessary discussion in view of the promise of Malachi 4:5. This is referring to a "witness," a term also used equally in reference to angels. The function of such an angel (Probably assigned to a human witness) is further explained in the article, "Ark of the Covenant / The Power." 

In the article, we saw how John the baptist prepared the people for the coming of Christ by the Baptism of repentance, one that is important even now. In his days, he showed the people what sin was and introduced them to the power of baptism. This is what true baptism is all about - one of the heart. In his work, John promised of one coming to baptize, unlike him, with Spirit and fire(John 1:29,33.) This is the preparation for the coming age, as Christ came from the wilderness saying "repent, for the Kingdom of God is at hand." He said that one had to be born "from above, or by "water and Spirit"(Jn 3:5,3) to enter the Kingdom. 


The same Kingdom in Daniel(7:9), is taken by force through a battle in the heavens(Daniel is a vision of the heavens, the spiritual as opposed to the physical world.) The reign of Christ and His saints over the earth follows.
