What Is God's Kingdom? by Maximus85(m): 11:16am On Nov 01, 2020
Many today tired of the present situation of things in the world have been clamoring for change. But if we are looking for a perfect condition here on earth, do we expect it in the hands of imperfect humans who can't even direct their own steps?

Human governments have been failing for centuries, it's time to look up to God for that change we all are yearning for.

God has promised a better world a long time ago and his son Jesus Christ even taught us to pray for that kingdom that will usher in the new worlds to come.
Remember the lords prayer.. ".... Thy kingdom come, thy will be done here on earth as it has in heaven....
Yes, God's will for the heaven is to make it clean and that was accomplished when Satan and his demons were sent out of the heaven.
God's will for the earth is also to destroy Satan, his demons and all those who have unrepentantly allowed themselves to be influence by Satan the devil.

I have a link to a magazine that tells you all you need to know about God's Kingdom.

Thanks for your time.

Ps: check the attached images.

God has promised a better world a long time ago and his son Jesus Christ even taught us to pray for that kingdom that will usher in the new worlds to come.
Remember the lords prayer.. ".... Thy kingdom come, thy will be done here on earth as it has in heaven....

But from this prayer, it has been established that the WILL OF GOD in heaven has taken place.

Yes, God's will for the heaven is to make it clean and that was accomplished when Satan and his demons were sent out of the heaven.

Why is it that it's in 1914 this happened when from the Lord's prayer, the WILL OF GOD has already taken place?

God's will for the earth is also to destroy Satan, his demons and all those who have unrepentantly allowed themselves to be influence by Satan the devil.

If you truly follow that Lord's prayer, you'll see that Jesus isn't talking about the future event but present one because from the Lord's prayer we read "forgive us our trespass as we forgive those who trespasses against us"

Could this be the reason why your organization claimed somewhere that “God’s kingdom is here with you.” (Italics ours; Contemporary English Version ) “The Kingdom of God is among you.” ( New World Translation, footnote) The Kingdom of heaven was “with” or “among” the Pharisees, in that Jesus, the one designated by God to rule as King, was standing before them.​— Luke 1:​32, 33

I have a link to a magazine that tells you all you need to know about God's Kingdom.

Is the magazine above the Bible?

Does it make more sense to direct people to Bible than magazines?

I will on respond to the last thing you said.
No book or magazine is above the Bible. I hope you understand. The Bible is the word of God. The magazines and books of Jehovah's Witnesses are extracts from the Bible.

OK, if you check the magazines. You will be directed to the Bible. At least the magazine will have a topic.... And in the articles, readers are always directed to the Bible. Sir, go and check.... No religious group produces the Bible more than Jehovah's Witnesses and do you want to talk about the number of languages that we print the Bible in?

The Billboard sign @ JW Headquarters says:
"Read God's word the Bible daily"

Bros, Your claim is FALSE.



Acts 8:26-31


¶“26But an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip. The angel said, 'Arise, and go southward along the road that goes from Jerusalem down to Gaza.' This area is deserted. 27But Philip arose and went. And behold, there was a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace, queen of the Ethiopians. He was responsible for all her treasure. He'd been to Jerusalem to worship. 28Now he was returning; seated in his chariot; reading the prophet Isaiah.” (Acts 8:26-28).

¶“29The Spirit told Philip, 'Go closer, and meet this chariot.' 30Philip ran to the man, and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet. Philip said, 'Do you understand what you are reading?' 31The man replied, 'How can I, unless someone explains it to me?' He implored Philip to come up and sit with him.” (Acts 8:29-31).

JWs direct attention to the Bible and we go a step further offer a home Bible study with anyone who is interested.

We study the Bible with individuals,some of whom prefer to use only the Bible without any study material, we gladly accept.

Free of charge and & the convenience of the interested person (s). Matthew 24:14

You admitted Bible is the Word of God, so which is more important God's word or word of men?

@underlined see another self appraised statement, the mentality of being in competition with others when in reality nobody is in competition with their minute group.

God's word the Bible is the only authority to preach. If you want to see us direct you to the Bible. Read the magazine.... It will lead you to hundred of scriptures.

Concerning the Bible production.... It's not about competition. You can't serve God and see yourself competing with others. The race no get first or second. All of us will get to the finish line differently or together. So far we reach the final line.

That we produce more Bible and in hundreds of languages is a FACT. Or do want to object?
Just like saying Jehovah's Witnesses are the only religious group known to take the preaching work as first priority in the whole world, weather you agree with what they preach or not.... It's a FACT. You can't deny it.

Why is the Watchtower and Awake the first and second most distributes magazines in the world. It's a FACT.
