THE KINGDOM OF YHVH

APPENDIX TO STATEMENT OF FAITH
THE 13 PRINCIPLES OF FAITH OF A MESSIANIC BELIEVER

PRINCIPLE NO. 12

I believe the kingdom of YHVH, also called the Kingdom of Heaven, has several aspects. First, it is the throne of YHVH, where He reigns supreme over all of creation, surrounded by myriads of spirituals beings.  Secondly, this kingdom exists simultaneously in the natural (physical) world, in the hearts of all faithful believers.  It requires true repentance and renewal, to prepare for the next kingdom, the millennial reign of Yeshua HaMashiach, who will reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.  This millennial reign on Earth is the Scriptural promise and the world’s hope.  I believe the crowning achievement of all this preparation is the New Heaven and New Earth, a kingdom that will never be destroyed, one that is everlasting, wherein dwells righteousness and perfect harmony.

Luke 17:21
The Coming of the Kingdom
When asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of YHVH would come, Yeshua replied, “The kingdom of YHVH will not come with observable signs. Nor will people say, ‘Look, here it is,’ or ‘There it is.’ For you see, the kingdom of YHVH is in your midst.”

John 18:36
Yeshua 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."

Isaiah 11:9
They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain, for the earth will be filled with the knowledge of YHVH as the waters cover the sea.

Revelation 11:15
The seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, which said: "The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of Elohenu and of his Messiah, and he will reign for ever and ever."

2 Thessalonians 1:7
After all, it is only right for Elohim to repay with affliction those who afflict you, and to grant relief to you who are oppressed, and to us as well, when Adonai Yeshua is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels in blazing fire.

Revelation 19:11-16
And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and He who sat on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and wages war. His eyes are a flame of fire, and on His head are many diadems; and He has a name written on Him which no one knows except Himself. He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of Elohim. And the armies which are in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, were following Him on white horses. From His mouth comes a sharp sword, so that with it He may strike down the nations, and He will rule them with a rod of iron; and He treads the wine press of the fierce wrath of Elohim, the Almighty. And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name written, “KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.”

Romans 11:26-27
And so all Israel will be saved, just as it is written, “The deliverer will come from Zion.  He will remove ungodliness from Jacob.”  “This is my covenant with them, when I take away their sins.”

Revelation 20:1-6
Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold of the dragon, the serpent of old, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years; and he threw him into the abyss, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he would not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were completed; after these things he must be released for a short time.

Then I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Yeshua and because of the word of Elohim, and those who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand; and they came to life and reigned with Messiah for a thousand years. The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were completed. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no power, but they will be priests of Elohim and of Messiah and will reign with Him for a thousand years.

Daniel 2:44
"In the time of those kings, the Elohim of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people. It will crush all those kingdoms and bring them to an end, but it will itself endure forever.

2 Peter 3:13
But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells.

Revelation 21:1-4
Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,”a for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from Elohim, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! YHVH’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and YHVH himself will be with them and be their Elohim. ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’b or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”

Revelation 21:22
I did not see a temple in the city, because the Adonai Elohim Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.
