    The Kingdom of Yahweh is the core message of Scripture from the book of Genesis to the book of Revelation, and yet there is more confusion to what is the Kingdom of Yahweh, then almost any other subject in Scripture. Some churches preach that they are the Kingdom of Yahweh, as where others teach the Kingdom is in heaven and even others teach that it is merely a warm fuzzy feeling in your heart. In this lesson we will look at all the scriptures in the Bible to see exactly what Yahweh tells us through His Word what the Kingdom of Yahweh is and how to be a part of that very Kingdom.

First of all let’s define exactly what a kingdom is.

A Kingdom: The governing influence of a king over his territory, with his will, purpose intent, and producing a culture of values morals, and a lifestyle that will reflect the king’s desires and nature for his citizens. You cannot have a kingdom without judicial order. Every society needs laws, structure and leadership. Without government you have chaos. Authority is the key to successful government.

COMMENT: So the very first thing that we see is that in Scripture, when we speak of the Kingdom of Yahweh, we are speaking about a literal kingdom; with land, people, laws, structure, values, morals and purpose. In the Garden of Eden, after creation, everything was perfect. This is because the will of Yahweh, which is defined to humans through His eternal Torah or law was 100% enacted, and all creation was under the perfect will of Yahweh.

Did the Kingdom of Yahweh on earth start all the way back in the book of Genesis?

Gen 1:26 And Elohim said, let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over all the creepers creeping on the earth.

Gen 1:27 And Elohim created the man in His own image; in the image of Elohim He created him. He created them male and female.

Gen 1:28 And Elohim blessed them; and Elohim said to them, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule over the fish of the seas, and over birds of the heavens, and over all beasts creeping on the earth.

COMMENT: When Adam was created, he was given dominion over the earth. This dominion included rule over the animal kingdom, the fish in the sea and the birds of the sky. An important aspect to remember is that Adam was given “rulership” NOT “ownership”. In a kingdom setting, much different than a democracy, there is no private ownership of property, because everything is owned by the king (Psalms 24:1). Yahweh had a set pattern of judicial order from creation and Adam was to sustain that judicial order, and go out to the rest of the creation and bring the kingdom message that Yahweh and Yahshua were training him with in the Garden of Eden.

Was Yahweh actually trying to colonize the earth to be inhabited with humans to be just like His Kingdom in heaven?

Mat 6:9 So, then, you should pray this way, Our Father who is in Heaven, Hallowed be Your name.

Mat 6:10 Your kingdom come; Your will be done, as it is in Heaven, also on the earth.

COMMENT: Clearly, we can see that the intent of our Heavenly Father was to create the earth and populate it to be a colony of His Kingdom and expand His domain. As we saw in Genesis 1:26-28, Yahweh set up man, and particularly Adam to have dominion over this earthly colony, and to bring His Kingdom principles contained in His Torah to the rest of society and bear fruit (multiply the subjects) for this newly found colony that He created on the earth.

Did Adam succeed at multiplying subjects for Yahweh’s Kingdom and expanding Yahweh’s domain from heaven to the earth?

Gen 3:17 And He said to the man, Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten of the tree about which I commanded you, saying, You shall not eat from it, the ground shall be cursed because of you; you shall eat
of it in sorrow all the days of your life.

Gen 3:18 And it shall bring forth thorns and thistles for you, and you shall eat the plant of the field.

Gen 3:19 By the sweat of your face you shall eat bread until your return to the ground. For you have been taken out of
it; for you are dust, and to dust you shall return.

Gen 3:23 YAHWEH Elohim sent him out of the Garden of Eden to till the ground out of which he was taken.

Gen 3:24 And He drove the man out. And He lodged the cherubs at the east of the Garden of Eden, and the flaming sword whirling around to guard the way of the Tree of Life.

Did Adam’s betrayal and sin also bring the shedding of innocent blood?

Gen 3:21 And YAHWEH Elohim made coats of skin for the man and his wife, and clothed them.

COMMENT: It should be noted here that the Kingdom message up this point had nothing to do with sin, as sin had not entered the world yet, but was about having total faith in Yahweh by 100% following His laws that are part of His character, and are eternal and there for the betterment and good of mankind. Once mankind sinned, then there had to be a plan instilled to have the Son of Yahweh come to pay the penalty for those sins; this was only the avenue Yahweh inspired so that people could get entrance into His Kingdom once again. The message of forgiveness and redemption by the blood of Yahshua is the message on how to enter the Kingdom of Yahweh, but not the message of what that Kingdom actually is.

The Bible is a book written all about the Kingdom of Yahweh and the colonization of mankind to the earth to expand that Kingdom from heaven. The Bible is broken into two parts. The first part is the first 3 chapters of Genesis 1 up until the fall of man and the loss of the domain of that Kingdom, and the second part of the Bible is the rest of it written after Genesis the third chapter, discussing the redeeming of the Kingdom that was lost.

You must realize that Adam lost a kingdom NOT a religion. Religion is a tool created by mankind to dominate and control other human beings and religion has NOTHING to do with the Kingdom of Yahweh. The Kingdom of Yahweh has to do with bringing His judicial order and will to mankind through His set apart Torah (law) so that man will know how to have a relationship and worship Yahweh, as his creator, and how to treat his fellow man, who were also created in the image of Yahweh.

In Genesis 1:26 quoted above, we see that Yahweh said to make man in His image and likeness. However in verse 27, we see that man was only made in the image of Yahweh, it never says he was actually made in His likeness. This is because we can physically be made in the image of Elohim by having hands and legs and feet as He has, and also intellect to be able to think and reason, but to be made in His likeness we must receive His Holy Spirit (Ruach H’Chodesh) and develop through experience into the character of Yahweh Almighty (Matthew 5:48).

Adam, by his traitorous actions of willfully disobeying the Creator Yahweh, not only brought the shedding of blood of an innocent animal (Genesis 3:21), but also brought about the beginning of the decay of his physical body and his own death.

Gen 2:17 but of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil you may not eat, for in the day that you eat of it, surely you shall die.

He also disqualified himself from taking the Torah of Yahweh to the rest of creation and bearing fruit for the kingdom, which was supposed to be his highest priority for being created. He failed at expanding the Kingdom of Yahweh from the heaven to the earth and by rebelling against Yahweh and submitting to the rule of Satan; he actually abdicated his domain over the earth and gave it over to Satan. From this point on it was necessary that another man, who would have to be a physical seed of Adam and Eve would have to come to the earth and be born and reclaim and redeem what his fore-father Adam had lost.

Did Yahweh prophesy that a seed from Adam and Eve would come to earth to defeat Satan and reclaim what the first Adam had lost?

Gen 3:14 And YAHWEH Elohim said to the serpent, because you have done this, you are cursed above all beasts, and above every animal of the field. You shall go on your belly, and you shall eat dust all the days of your life.

Gen 3:15 And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed; He will bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel.

Rom 5:12 Even as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, so also death passed to all men, inasmuch as all sinned.

Rom 5:17 For if by the offence of the one death reigned through the one, much more those who are receiving the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness shall rule in life by the One, Yahshua Messiah.

Rom 5:18 Therefore, as on account of the offence of one, condemnation was to all men; so on account of the righteousness of one, will the victory unto life be to all men.

1st Cor 15:45 So also it has been written, “The first man, Adam, became a living soul.” The last Adam a lifegiving Spirit. (Gen 2:7)

1st Cor 15:46 But not the spiritual first, but the natural; afterward the spiritual.

1st Cor 15:47 The first man was out of earth, earthy. The second Man was the Master YAHWEH out of Heaven.

COMMENT: When Adam willingly submitted to the rule of Satan and abdicated his position and domain over the earth to Satan, Yahweh has been working ever since to reclaim to mankind what Adam lost. Since the domain of the earth was designated to Adam directly from Yahweh, the only way to do this would be that a literal seed would have to be born from the very loins of Adam so as to legally claim back what His fore- father Adam had lost. A basic kingdom principle is that a king must be a physical descendent of his father.

Did Yahweh find Abraham to be faithful to use his lineage to have the Messiah come through his physical line?

Gen 12:1 And YAHWEH had said to Abram, Go out from your land and from your kindred, and from your father’s house, to the land which I will show you.

Gen 12:2 And I will make of you a great nation. And I will bless you and make your name great; and you will be a blessing.

Gen 12:3 And I will bless those who bless you, and curse the one despising you. And in you all families of the earth shall be blessed.

Gen 17:1 And when Abram was ninety nine years old, YAHWEH appeared to Abram and said to him, I am El Shaddai! Walk before me and be perfect;

Gen 17:2 and I will make My covenant between Me and you, and will increase you very greatly.

Gen 17:3 And Abram fell on his face. And Elohim spoke with him, saying,

Gen 17:4 As for Me, behold, My covenant is with you, and you shall be a father of many nations.

Gen 17:5 And your name no longer shall be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham. For I have made you a father of many nations.

Gen 17:6 And I will make you very fruitful, exceedingly. And I will give you for nations. And kings shall come out of you.

Gen 17:7 And I will establish My covenant between Me and you, and your seed after you in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be a Elohim to you and to your seed after you.

Gen 17:8 And I will give to you and to your seed after you the land of your sojourning, all the land of Canaan, for an ever-lasting possession and I will be their Elohim.

Gen 17:9 And Elohim said to Abraham, You shall keep My covenant, you and your seed after you in their generations.

Gen 17:21 And I will establish My covenant with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear to you at this set apart time next year.

Gen 26:5 because Abraham listened to My voice and heeded My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My Torah.

Gal 3:16 Now the promises which were made to Abraham and to his seed as a covenant. He did not say, “To your descendants”, as many but, “To your descendants”, as one, that is Messiah.

Exo 4:22 And you shall speak to Pharaoh, So says YAHWEH, My son, My first-born is Israel.

COMMENT: Due to Abraham’s faithfulness, Yahweh chose his lineage to have the Messiah eventually be born from the lineage of Israel. Yahweh always works within judicial order and He chose the seed of Israel to redeem mankind back to Him. Yahweh will work on redeeming the nations after He returns and His Kingdom is set up in this earth (Isaiah 66:18-20).

Amos 3:1 Hear this Word that YAHWEH has spoken against you, sons of Israel, against all the family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying:

Amos 3:2a You only have I known of all the families of the earth.

Can only physical born Israelites become disciples of Yahshua and family members of Yahweh in this time period before the millennium starts?

Gal 3:26 for you are all sons of YAHWEH through faith in Messiah Yahshua.

Gal 3:27 For as many as were baptized into Messiah, you put on Messiah.

Gal 3:28 There cannot be Jew nor Aramean, there is no slave nor freeman, there is no male and female; for you are all one (echad), united in Messiah Yahshua.

Gal 3:29 And if you are of Messiah, then you are seeds of Abraham, even heirs according to the promise.

COMMENT: Yahweh is not a respecter of persons, and although due to Adam’s position, Yahweh had to choose a physical descendant of his to redeem mankind back to Yahweh, now that Messiah has come, any person regardless of race, gender, social status, etc., can be grafted into the family of Israel and become a seed of Abraham through Yahshua, our Creator and redeemer. However, one must be baptized and join the spiritual seed of Israel, through Messiah, to be a first fruit of His (Read Lesson One Joining The New Covenant).

Was the earth still under the rule and authority of Satan when Yahshua Messiah had His ministry in 27 AD?

Luke 4:5 And leading Him up into a high mountain, Satan showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

Luke 4:6 And the Devil said to Him, I will give all this authority and their glory to You, because it has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish.

Luke 4:7 Then if You worship before me, all will be Yours.

Luke 4:8 And answering, to him, Yahshua said, Go behind Me, Satan! For it has been written: You shall worship YAHWEH your Elohim, and Him only you shall serve.

COMMENT: When Adam abdicated his position and domain to rule over the earth back in Genesis, Yahweh set a time period of 6,000 years to allow Satan to have his kingdom on this earth. Yahweh allows Satan to run the world’s governments, educational systems and even the churches of his present domain. When Yahshua came to earth, during His earthly ministry in 27 AD, He did indeed qualify through His life, death and resurrection, to replace Satan and redeem back to Yahweh and mankind the Kingdom that Adam lost.

However, just as when a president wins an election and may not take office for maybe 2 months, Yahshua although fully paid the penalty for the sins of all mankind, will not actually take back the dominion of the physical earth for His ruling Kingdom until the 6,000 year time table allotted to Satan is complete.

Where does Scripture outline the 6,000 years allotted to Satan before the Messiah will reign on the physical earth?

Exo 20:11 For in six days YAHWEH made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all which is in them, and He rested on the seventh day; on account of this YAHWEH blessed the Sabbath day and sanctified it.

Heb 4:4 For He has spoken concerning the Sabbath, “And Elohim rested from all His works on the seventh day.” (Gen 2:2)

Heb 4:5 And here again he said, “They shall not enter into My rest.”

Heb 4:6 There was a chance for some to enter into it, but they to whom the good news was first preached did not enter in on account of disobedience,

Heb 4:7 He again marks out a certain day, saying in David, Today after so long a time, according as He has said,
“Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts.”

Heb 4:8 For if Joshua the son of Nun had given them rest, then He would not have afterward spoken about another day.

Heb 4:9 It is therefore the duty of the people of ELOHIM to keep the Sabbath.

Num 14:34 by the number of the days in which you spied out the land, forty days, a day for a year, a day for a year; you shall bear your iniquities forty years; you shall know My alienation from you.

Psa 90:4 For a thousand years in Your eyes are as a day, yesterday, when it passes, and as a watch in the night.

2nd Pet 3:8 But let not this one thing be hidden from you, beloved, that one day with YAHWEH is as a thousand
years, and a thousand years as one day.

2nd Pet 3:9 YAHWEH is not negligent concerning His promises, as some count negligence, but is patient toward us, not wishing any to perish, but all to come to repentance.

COMMENT: Just as Yahweh created the world in six literal days and rested on the 7th day, which He called the Sabbath, He has allotted 6,000 years to the rule of Satan over this earth and then, the 7th millennium, as outlined in Hebrews the 4th chapter, will be the 1,000 year rule of Messiah and rest for the world from the wicked, evil, satanic, society that Satan has created for the first 6,000 years. We are very close to the end of the 6,000 year rule of Satan and the literal setting up of the Kingdom of Yahweh to this earth.

When Yahshua came to the earth and was born of a woman as the second Adam was His focus the redeeming of the Kingdom that Adam lost?

Mat 4:17 From that time Yahshua began to preach and to say, Repent! For the kingdom of Heaven has drawn near.

Mark 1:14 And after John was delivered up, Yahshua came into Galilee proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of YAHWEH,

Mark 1:15 And he said, The time is complete and the Kingdom of YAHWEH has arrived. Repent and believe in the good news.

Mat 13:24 He put before them another parable, saying The kingdom of Heaven is compared to a man sowing good seed in his fields.

Mat 13:25 But while the men were sleeping, an enemy came and sowed tares in the midst of the wheat, and went away.

Mat 13:26 And when the blade sprouted and produced fruit, then the tare also appeared.

Mat 13:27 And coming near, the slaves of the house Master said to him, Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? Then from where does it have the tares?

Mat 13:28 And he said to them, A man, an enemy did this. And the slaves said to him, do you desire, then, that going out we should gather them?

Mat 13:29 But he said, No, lest gathering the tares you should uproot the wheat with them.

Mat 13:30 Allow both to grow together until the harvest. And in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, first gather the tares, and bind them into bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my granary.

Mat 13:31 He spoke another parable figuratively to them and said. The kingdom of Heaven is compared to a grain of mustard, which taking, a man sowed in his field;

Mat 13:32 And it is smaller than all the small seeds, but when it grows, it is greater than all the small herbs, and becomes a tree so that the birds of heaven come and nest in its branches.

Mat 13:33 He spoke another parable to them, The kingdom of Heaven is compared to leaven, which taking, a woman hid in three measures of meal until the whole was leavened.

Mat 13:34 Yahshua spoke all these things in parables to the crowds, and He did not speak to them without a parable,

Mat 13:35 So might be fulfilled the thing which was spoken through the prophet who said. “I will open my mouth with parables and will bring out secrets that were from before the foundation of the world.” (Psalms 78:2-3)

Mat 13:36 Then sending away the crowds, Yahshua came into the house. And His disciples came to Him saying, explain to us the parable of the tares of the field.

Mat 13:37 And answering, He said to them, The One sowing the good seed is the Son of Man.

Mat 13:38 And the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; but the tares are the sons of the evil one.

Mat 13:39 And the enemy who sowed them is the Devil, and the harvest is the end of the age, and the cherubs are the reapers.

Mat 13:40 Then as the tares are gathered and are consumed in the fire, so it will be in the completion of this age.

Mat 13:41 The Son of Man will send forth His cherubs, and they will gather out of His kingdom all stumbling blocks, and those who practice lawlessness.

Mat 13:42 And they will throw them into the furnace of fire; there will be weeping and gnashing of the teeth.

Mat 13:43 Then the righteous will shine out like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. The one having ears to hear, let him hear.

Mat 13:44 Again, the kingdom of Heaven is compared to treasure being hidden in the field, which finding, a man hid; and for the joy of it, he goes and sells all things, as many as he has, and buys that field.

Mat 13:45 Again, the kingdom of Heaven is compared to a man, a merchant seeking excellent pearls;

Mat 13:46 who finding one very precious pearl, going away has sold all things, as many as he had, and bought it.

Mat 13:47 Again, the kingdom of Heaven is compared to a net thrown into the sea, and gathering together of every kind;

Mat 13:48 which, when it was filled, drawing it up on the shore, and sitting down, they gathered the good into bags, and the bad they threw away.

Mat 13:49 So it will be in the completion of the age the cherubs will go out and will separate the evil from the midst of the righteous,

Mat 13:50 and will throw them into the furnace of fire; there will be weeping and gnashing of the teeth.

Mat 13:51 Yahshua said to them, Have you understood all these things? They said to Him, Yes, Master.

Mat 13:52 And He said to them, Because of this, every scribe schooled to the kingdom of Heaven is like a man, a Master of a house, who puts forth out of his treasure new and old.

COMMENT: Everything that Yahshua did in life was for the restoring of the Kingdom of Yahweh; that was His whole purpose, to restore what Adam lost in the Garden of Eden. By living a perfect life He qualified to pay the penalty for the sins starting from Adam, going to Israel, then for all of mankind, and to redeem back the authority to be king and rule over the earth during His 1,000 year rule.

Did Yahshua command His disciples that they were to bear fruit and train new members for Yahweh’s Kingdom as Yahweh did to Adam in the Garden of Eden?

John 15:1 I am the True Vine, and My Father is the Vinedresser.

John 15:2 Every branch in Me not bearing fruit, He takes it away; and each one bearing fruit, He prunes, so that it may bear more fruit.

John 15:3 You are already pruned because of the Word which I have spoken to you.

John 15:4 Remain in Me, and I in you. As the branch is not able to bear fruit of itself, unless it remain in the vine, so neither can you unless you remain in Me.

John 15:5 I am the Vine and you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, this man will produce plentiful fruit because without me you are not able to do anything.

John 15:6 Unless one remains in Me, he is cast out as the branch and is dried up; and they gather and throw them into a fire, and they are burned.

John 15:7 If you remain in Me, and My Words remain in you, whatever you desire you will ask, and it shall happen to you.

John 15:8 In this My Father is glorified, that you should bear much fruit; and you will be disciples to Me.

John 15:16 You have not chosen Me, but I chose you out and planted you, that you should go and should bear fruit, and your fruit remain, that whatever you should ask the Father in My name, He may give you.

Mat 7:16 From their fruits you shall know them. Do they gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?

Mat 7:17 So every good tree produces good fruits, but the corrupt tree produces evil fruits.

Mat 7:18 A good tree cannot produce evil fruits, nor a corrupt tree produce good fruits.

Mat 7:19 Every tree not producing good fruit is cut down and is thrown into fire.

Mat 7:20 Then surely from their fruits you shall know them.

Mat 7:21 It will not be that just everyone who says to Me, Master, Master, will enter into the kingdom of Heaven, but the ones who do the will of My Father in Heaven. Also see Mathew 25:13-30.

COMMENT: The job of mankind, as set down by Yahweh through Adam, was to bear fruit and multiply (Genesis 1:28), and we can see through the words of Yahshua that job is the same to New Covenant believers who are disciples of Yahshua and Firstfruits and children of the Kingdom of Yahweh.

Did the apostles of Yahshua realize that the Kingdom of Yahweh is a real kingdom with a real king originating from the very Promised Land of Israel?

Luke 22:25 And Yahshua said to them, the kings of the Gentiles are their masters and those who are authorities over them are called doers of good.

Luke 22:26 But you be not so, but the greater among you, let him be as the lesser; and the one governing as the one serving.

Luke 22:27 For who is greater, the one reclining, or the one serving? Is it not the one reclining? But I am in your midst as One serving.

Luke 22:28 But you are those continuing with Me during my trial.

Luke 22:29 And I appoint a kingdom to you, as My Father appointed to Me,

Luke 22:30 that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom; and you will sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

Acts 1:6 Then, indeed, coming together they questioned Him, saying, Master, do You restore the kingdom to Israel at this time?

Acts 1:7 And He said to them, It is not yours to know times or seasons which the Father placed in His own authority;

Acts 1:8 But when the spirit of Holiness comes upon you, you will receive the power, and you will be witnesses of Me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.

COMMENT: It is very clear from Scripture that the apostles fully understood that the Kingdom of Yahweh was a real kingdom to be set up in the very nation of Israel, and then go throughout all the world; the only thing they did not know was when this Kingdom was going to be set up. There is nothing in Scripture to even remotely make one think that the apostles or early followers of Yahshua ever thought the Kingdom of Yahweh was either some church organization or simply a feeling in your heart.

What did Yahshua mean in Luke 17: 21 when He said “For behold the kingdom of YAHWEH is in your midst”.

COMMENT: In a kingdom mentality, the king is the supreme owner of everything in his kingdom, and his law is binding and unchangeable. In addition, in a kingdom, someone does not migrate and chose to join the kingdom, but rather he is chosen to be part of that kingdom (John 15:16) by royal decree and the king’s word is final. Also, the king is fully responsible for all of his subjects and if even one person was lacking anything it would be a negative reflection on the
king himself.

So the king and his kingdom are interchangeable and the king is his kingdom, so when Yahshua was saying to the Pharisees that the Kingdom of Yahweh was in their midst, He was saying by His presence being the King of the
Kingdom, the Kingdom of Yahweh had come to them. In like manner, all true disciples of Yahshua are called ambassadors for Him and His Kingdom (2nd Corinthians 5:20) and when we are blessed to go somewhere and represent Him, in essence as representatives of that kingdom, we are bringing the Kingdom, through our teachings to the given area. Also, to be a representative of Him and His Kingdom that Kingdom must be written on our hearts and be the highest priority in our life (Matthew 10:32-39).

Did Yahshua say what the reward would be to those first-fruits who have been baptized in His name and are followers of Him in this time period before He returns to set up His Kingdom?

Luke 22:28 But you are those continuing with Me during my trial.

Luke 22:29 And I appoint a kingdom to you, as My Father appointed to Me,

Luke 22:30 that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom; and you will sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

Mat 19:27 Then answering, Peter said to Him, Behold, we left all things and followed You. What indeed will we have?

Mat 19:28 And Yahshua said to them, Truly I say to you, You who have followed Me in this world, when the Son of Man sits on the throne of His glory, you also will sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

Mat 19:29 And everyone who left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for the sake of My name, shall receive a hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.

Rev 5:9 And they sing a new song, saying, Worthy are You to receive the scroll, and to open its seals, because You were slain, and by Your blood purchased us to YAHWEH out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,

Rev 5:10 and made us kings and priests to our Elohim; and we shall reign on the earth.

Rev 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat on them. And judgment was given to them, and the souls of the ones having been beheaded because of the witness of Yahshua, and because of the Word of YAHWEH, and who had not worshiped the beast nor its image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand. And they lived and reigned with Messiah a thousand years.

Rev 20:5 This is the first resurrection.

Rev 20:6 Blessed and holy is the one having part in the first resurrection. The second death has no authority over these, but they will be priests of YAHWEH and of His Messiah, and will reign with Him a thousand years.

COMMENT: For those who sacrifice and give up their lives in this world (Satan’s society) and are baptized into the name of Yahshua and enter covenant relationship with Him (Please see lesson one on joining The New Covenant) will be made kings and priests at His return and rule with Him for the thousand year millennial reign and beyond into eternity.

What will the Kingdom of Yahweh be like when Yahshua returns? Will there be a ruling government or will people simply be able to do whatever they feel like and continue with self-rule?

Isa 9:6 For unto us a Child is born; to us a Son is given; and the government is on His shoulder; and His name is called Wonderful Counselor, The Mighty El, The Prince of Peace, The one who Fathered Everlasting life.

Isa 9:7 There is no end to the increase of His government and of peace on the throne of David, and on His kingdom, to order it, and to sustain it with justice and with righteousness, from now and forever. The zeal of YAHWEH of Hosts will do this.

Will people be required to follow the Torah (law/instruction) of Yahweh and also to follow the leaders who Yahshua appoints in His kingdom or will people simply do whatever feels right in their heart?

Isa 11:1 And a Shoot goes out from the stump of Jesse, and a Branch (Netzar) will bear fruit out of his roots.

Isa 11:2 And the Spirit of YAHWEH shall rest on Him; He will have the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and power, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of YAHWEH.

Isa 11:3 And He is made to breathe in the fear of YAHWEH. But He shall not judge by the sight of His eyes, nor decide by the hearing of His ears.

Isa 11:4 But He shall judge the poor in righteousness, and shall decide rightly for the meek of the earth. And He shall strike the earth with the rod of His mouth, and He shall cause the wicked to die with the breath of His lip.

Isa 11:5 And righteousness shall be the encircler of His loins, and faithfulness the encircler of His loins.

Isa 11:6 And the wolf shall live with the lamb; and the leopard shall lie with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little boy shall lead them.

Isa 11:7 The cow and the bear shall feed, their young shall lie together; and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.

Isa 11:8 And the infant shall play on the hole of the asp; yea, the weaned child shall put his hand on the viper’s den.

Isa 11:9 They shall not do evil, nor destroy in all My holy mountain. For the earth shall be full of the knowledge of YAHWEH, as the waters cover the sea.

COMMENT: When Yahshua Messiah sets up His Kingdom on this earth after the 6,000 years of Satan’s society is complete there will be complete harmony and obedience to His laws and leadership. The earthly people who survive the great tribulation and wrath of Yahweh on this earth will be given a new heart and a spirit of cooperation to want to learn the truth of Yahweh’s Word and be obedient to the leadership that is set up by Yahshua to serve them.

Will everyone be able to be in this Kingdom regardless if they don’t want to learn and be obedient or will only those who have a heart of cooperation and love, be able to be part of the soon coming Kingdom of Yahweh?

Mat 7:21 It will not be that just everyone who says to Me, Master, Master, will enter into the kingdom of Heaven, but the ones who do the will of My Father in Heaven.

Mat 7:22 Many will say to Me in that day, Master, Master, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name do many works of power?

Mat 7:23 And then I will declare to them, from everlasting, I never knew you; “depart from Me, those working lawlessness!”

Mat 25:31 But when the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy cherubs with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory.

Mat 25:32 And before Him shall be gathered all the nations; and He will separate them from one another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.

Mat 25:33 And indeed He will set the sheep off His right, but the goats off the left hand.

Mat 25:34 Then the King will say to those on His right, Come, the blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

Mat 25:35 For I hungered, and you gave Me food to eat; I thirsted, and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger, and you took Me in;

Mat 25:36 naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me.

Mat 25:37 Then the righteous will answer, saying, Master, when did we see You hungry, and fed You; or thirsting, and gave You drink?

Mat 25:38 And when did we see You a stranger, and took You in; or naked, and clothed You?

Mat 25:39 And when did we see You sick, or in prison, and came to You?

Mat 25:40 And answering, the King will say to them, Truly I say to you, In so far as you did it to one of these, the least of My brothers, you did it to Me.

Mat 25:41 Then He will also say to those on His left, Go away from Me, cursed ones, into the everlasting fire having been prepared for the Devil and his cherubs.

Mat 25:42 For I hungered, and you did not give Me a thing to eat. I thirsted and you did not give Me a thing to drink;

Mat 25:43 I was a stranger, and you did not take Me in; naked, and you did not clothe Me; sick, and in prison, and you did not visit Me.

Mat 25:44 Then they also will answer Him, saying, Master, when did we see You hungering, or thirsting, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to You?

Mat 25:45 Then He will answer them, saying, Truly I say to you, in so far as you did not do it to one of these, the least, neither did you do it to Me.

Mat 25:46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into everlasting life.

COMMENT: Unlike the governing demonic systems of Satan that rule this earth, the Kingdom of Yahweh is much
different. It is not a dictatorship that suppresses its people by illegal rule, nor is it communistic, where a small elect live luxuriously at the expense of the masses. It is also not like democracy (demon-ocracy) in which the majority rules, whether they are right or wrong. Also, in a democracy there is equal freedom of speech for the evil as well as the righteous, there is freedom of religion for the true as well as the satanic. In Yahweh’s Kingdom only those who put 100% faith in Yahweh and trust in and follow His laws will be blessed to be part of this wonderful Kingdom. Anyone who is
against the perfect Torah (instruction) of Yahweh will not be part of His Kingdom, but will be cast out into the lake of
fire. Also, everyone who will be in Yahweh’s Kingdom will not only think on his own welfare, but will honestly love his neighbor as himself, and work with all in cooperation and love for the betterment and welfare of every Kingdom family member.

The difference between a kingdom and a democracy / Satan’s way is demon- ocracy. You cannot be an effective worker for the Kingdom and think democratically like a Babylonian.

1) In a democracy people elect leaders (Laodicean) doesn’t need a king, ruled by the people. In a kingdom the king chooses his subjects (John 6:44); 2nd Corinthians 5:20 – We are Ambassadors for the Kingdom.

2) In a democracy people support the government through taxes, in a kingdom the king supplies all the needs of his subjects. If someone is poor in democracy it is blamed on himself, but in kingdom if one is in need it is a reflection on the king as not providing for the welfare of his subjects. Welfare is good, caring for all citizenry, word not meaning poor. Psalms 23:1 (Matthew 6:24-34)

3) In a Democracy anyone can join or migrate to, but a kingdom is only through lineage, Galatians 3:29
In a kingdom citizenship is not a right, but a privilege.

4) Democracy is ruled by a parliament, but a kingdom is ruled by the laws of the king. Deuteronomy 10:10-12. The Torah is the constitution; laws in democracy are manmade and flawed, whereas laws of the King are perfect, Psalms 19:7-12.

Democracy citizens can protest for change of laws, morals, kingdom never changes; the laws of the king are forever (Malachi 3:6, Hebrews 13:8, Ester 8:8).

5) In a democracy people desire freedom, to rule themselves, but in a kingdom all desire to be the bond servant of the king. (John 5:30), Exodus 21:1-6, in a democracy people are their own Elohim, where as in a kingdom all subjects want to fully be ruled by the king 1st Corinthians 6:18-20.

6) In a democracy rules are all manmade and flawed, man has become an end to himself, where as in a kingdom all focus goes on the king and his edicts. This will always eventually lead into secular humanism where man will believe he can solve all his own problems by himself without the help of Elohim. Democracy is basically man’s elevation of himself to become his own Elohim.

7) In a democracy there is private ownership of property, in a kingdom the king owns everything (Psalms 24:1-2), subjects don’t need to own anything because all is provided by the king.

Kingdom principles are hard to understand in the West because democracy was established in America as a rebellion to a kingdom.

Will the Kingdom of Yahweh only be in Israel or will it be expanded in the millennium to be all over the earth?

Mic 4:1 But it shall be in the end of the days, the mountain of the house of YAHWEH shall be established on the top of the mountains; and it shall be lifted up from the hills; and peoples shall flow on it.

Mic 4:2 And many nations shall come and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of YAHWEH, and to the house
of the Elohim of Jacob. And He will teach us from His ways, and we will walk in His paths. For the Torah shall go forth out of Zion, and the Word of YAHWEH from Jerusalem.

Mic 4:3 And He shall judge between many peoples, and will decide for strong nations afar off. And they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, nor shall they learn war anymore.

Mic 4:4 But they shall each one sit under his vine and under his fig tree, and there shall be no trembling. For the mouth of YAHWEH of Hosts has spoken.

Mic 4:5 For all the peoples walk, each one in the name of his Elohim; but we will walk in the name of YAHWEH our Elohim forever and ever.

Mic 4:6 In that day I will gather the lame, declares YAHWEH, and I will gather the banished, and the one I have afflicted.

Mic 4:7 And I will make the lame into a remnant, and her who was removed into a strong nation. And YAHWEH shall reign over them in Mount Zion from now on, and to forever.

Zech 14:16 And it shall be, everyone who is left from all the nations which came up against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship the King, YAHWEH of Hosts, and to keep the Feast of The Sukkot.

Isa 66:18 For I know their works and their thoughts; it comes to gather all the nations and the tongues; and they shall come and see My glory.

Isa 66:19 And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those who escape from them to the nations of Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, drawers of the bow; to Tubal and Javan, to the far away coasts that have not heard (Aleph/Tav) My fame nor seen (Aleph/Tav) My glory. And they shall declare(Aleph/Tav) My glory among the nations.

Isa 66:20 And they shall bring all your brothers out of all nations, an offering to YAHWEH, on horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and on mules, and on camels, to My holy mountain Jerusalem, says YAHWEH; as the sons of Israel bring the offering in a clean vessel to the house of YAHWEH.

COMMENT: Although Jerusalem is the eternal headquarters of Yahweh Almighty and is clearly His dwelling place during the last days and also the Millennium (Joel 2:32, 3:16, 21), during Yahshua’s thousand-year reign on earth all nations will worship Him and His Kingdom will be a world ruling empire.

This will not happen overnight. After the wrath of Yahweh is finished, and Yahshua physically returns to the Mount of Olives where He ascended from, Scripture tells us there will be few men left in the earth (Isaiah 24:1- 6). These people are going to be hurting and horrified at what just took place in the world as they knew it. It is going to take a lot of patience and love and education to teach these people about the New Covenant and the Kingdom of Yahweh that is now set up over all the earth. As we see from Zechariah 14, some people will not understand all at once, and some will not listen to the command of coming up to Jerusalem at feast time and appearing before Yahshua as King. However, when they see that they will not receive the blessing of Yahweh and will have no rain if they are not fully 100% cooperative and submissive to His laws and leadership, then they will finally understand that only 100% full surrender to Yahweh and His will is what will bring complete happiness to this earth.

Then, will all the earth finally understand and know Yahweh, and will the earth have total peace and harmony, and will people be totally happy and satisfied during the Millennium?

Jer 31:31 Behold, the days come, says YAHWEH, that I will cut a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah,

Jer 31:32 not according to the covenant that I cut with their fathers in the day I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt (which covenant of Mine they broke, although I was to be a husband to them, says YAHWEH).

Jer 31:33 But this shall be the covenant that I will cut with the house of Israel: After those days, declares YAHWEH, I will put My Torah in their inward parts, and I will write it on their hearts; and I will be their Elohim, and they shall be My people.

Jer 31:34 And they shall no longer each man teach his neighbor, and each man his brother, saying, Know YAHWEH. For they shall all know Me, from the least of them even to the greatest of them, declares YAHWEH. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sins no more.

Isa 65:16 He who blesses himself in the earth shall bless himself in the Elohim of truth. And he who swears in the earth shall swear by the Elohim of truth; because the former distresses are forgotten; and because they are hidden from My eyes.

Isa 65:17 For, behold, I create new heavens and new earth. And the former things shall not be recalled, and they shall not go up on the heart.

Isa 65:18 However, be glad and rejoice forever in what I create. For, behold, I create in Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy.

Isa 65:19 And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in My people. And the voice of weeping and the voice of crying shall no longer be heard in her.

Isa 65:20 There shall not still be an infant of days, or an old man that has not filled his days. For the youth shall die the son of a hundred years, but the sinner the son of a hundred years shall be accursed.

Isa 65:21 And they shall build houses and live in them; and they shall plant vineyards and eat their fruit.

Isa 65:22 They shall not build, and another live in them; they shall not plant, and another eat. For like the days of the tree are the days of My people; and My elect shall grow old to the work of their hands.

Isa 65:23 They shall not labor in vain, nor bring forth for terror. For they are the seed of the beloved ones of YAHWEH,
and their offspring with them.

Isa 65:24 And it will be, before they call, I will answer. While they are speaking, then I will hear.

Isa 65:25 The wolf and the lamb shall feed as one; and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. And dust is the food of the snake. They shall not do evil nor destroy in all My holy mountain, says YAHWEH.

Will also all sicknesses be healed not to have anyone blind or lame?

Isa 35:1 The wilderness and dry land shall rejoice for them; and the desert shall exult and bloom like the crocus.

Isa 35:2 Surely, it shall bloom and exult, even with joy and singing. Lebanon’s glory shall be given to it, the honor of Carmel and Sharon; they shall see the glory of YAHWEH, the majesty of our Elohim.

Isa 35:3 Make the weak hands strong, and firm up the stumbling knees.

Isa 35:4 Say to those of a hasty heart, Be strong! Do not fear! Behold, your Elohim will come with vengeance; with the full dealing of Elohim, He will come (Y’shua*) and save you.

Isa 35:5 Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf opened.

Isa 35:6 Then the lame shall leap like a deer, and the tongue of the dumb shall sing. For waters shall break out in the wilderness, and streams in the desert.

Isa 35:7 And the mirage shall become a pool, and the thirsty land shall become springs of waters, in the home of jackals, in its lair, and a place for the reed and rush.

Isa 35:8 And a highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called, The Way of Holiness. The unclean shall not pass over it. And it is for them, the one going in the way; yea, fools shall not go astray.

Isa 35:9 No lion shall be there; and no violent beast shall go up on it; it shall not be found there. But redeemed ones shall walk there.

Isa 35:10 And the ransomed of YAHWEH shall return and enter Zion, with singing and everlasting joy on their head; gladness and joy shall reach them; and sorrow and sighing shall flee.

COMMENT: The Kingdom of Yahweh is a real kingdom that will be established starting in the physical land of Israel upon Yahshua’s return to the Mount of Olives. The headquarters is going to be in Jerusalem and then go throughout all the earth. During this time Yahweh will pour out His spirit on all of mankind and change the human nature of man from being selfish and self-centered to one that is cooperative and loves his neighbor as himself.

During Yahshua’s thousand year reign, there will be total peace throughout all the earth as every human alive at that time will recognize Him as King of kings and worship Him as savior of the world. There will be no sickness, or people being handicapped, or will there be premature death, crime, disease, or famine.

Each person will enjoy the fruit of his/her labor and the family structure and relationship will be completely restored as all the earth will be properly educated to the Torah of Yahweh by His disciples, who are the Firstfruits, and will reign with Yahshua during His 1,000 year reign and onto eternity.

Points to Remember:

1) Adam Lost a Kingdom, not a religion, and Yahshua came to earth to reclaim and restore the kingdom Adam abdicated to Satan.

2) The Kingdom of Yahweh is not a church or a feeling inside of you, but is a real literal kingdom which is being colonized on earth, as it is in heaven.

3) Yahshua will physically return to earth and be the King of the Kingdom of Yahweh for the 1,000-year millennium. The true baptized followers of Yahshua will reign with Him on the earth.
