Over and over we are told the the Kingdom of God is at hand[1]
We were told that it was everlasting and from generation to generation.[2]
We are told that it would be taken from one group of people and appointed to another.[3]
We were told that Jesus was the anointed king, the Messiah and Christ, the highest son of David[4] and the everlasting descendent to that throne for those who claim him as their king.[5]
He was proclaimed king by kings and shepherds, angels and prophets.[6]
The Apostles were all Jews and thousands and thousands of Jews including thousands of the citizens of Judea and abroad accepted Jesus as the Christ, the anointed king of Judea.[7]
The Pharisees did not accept Jesus but they left the Kingdom of God saying Caesar was their king.[8]
Anyone who said Jesus was the Christ was saying that he was the anointed king and the Pharisees would cast them out of the Corban system set up by Herod's Baptism.[9]
They proclaimed far and wide that their king was Jesus and it was his decrees they must obey even if they find themselves contrary to the decrees of Caesar.[10]
This is where we see the Christian conflict.
We are told that the kingdom is come.[11]
We were told to seek that kingdom. [12]
It was not a particular place but you could eat and drink there while you were on the earth.[13]
We are told that everyone will not just come into the kingdom because they want to. [14]
We were told that John and Jesus and the apostles preached it and we were to do the same.[15]
The kingdom as a real government was taken from the Pharisees by their own words[16] and given to another.[17]
They were appointed the princes of the kingdom but were not rule over the people like the governments of the world of the Gentiles or other nations.[18]
The procurator of Rome, Pontius Pilate, issued a royal proclamation agreeing he was the king of the Jews and would not retract it.[19]
We see these men who were appointed a kingdom by Christ and accepted Jesus as another king[20] taking care of the Daily ministration instead of the governments of the Pharisees which they were cast out of when they received the Baptism of Jesus and professed him as the Anointed.
They were also persecuted by the Roman government and others because they would not sign up for government welfare. This was a major Christian conflict with the governments of the world.
We were told to follow him but people had many excuses why they could not do as Jesus asked.[21]
One of the major reasons Jesus took the kingdom form the Pharisees and appointed it to His little flock was because they did not attend to the Weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith which include caring for the needs of our neighbors and the widows and orphans of our society through Pure Religion in matters of health, education, and welfare. We are NOT to provide for the needy of society through the Covetous Practices and the men who call themselves benefactors but who exercise authority one over the other like the socialists do.
The Way of Christ was like neither the way of the world of Rome nor the governments of the gentiles who depend on those fathers of the earth through force, fear and fealty who deliver the people back in bondage again like they were in Egypt. Christ's ministers and true Christians do not depend upon systems of social welfare that force the contributions of the people like the corban of the Pharisees which made the word of God to none effect. Many people have been deceived to go the way of Balaam and the Nicolaitan and out of The Way of Christ and have become workers of iniquity.
The Christian conflict with Rome in the first century Church appointed by Christ was because they would not apply to the fathers of the earth for their free bread but instead relied upon a voluntary network providing a daily ministration to the needy of society through Faith, Hope, and Charity by way of freewill offerings of the people, for the people, and by the people through the perfect law of liberty in Free Assemblies according to the ancient pattern of Tuns or Tens as He commanded.
The modern Christians are in need of repentance.
"Follow me!" —Jesus the Christ.
- One of the most important things to do is to become involved in a network of Charitable Practices. Everyone should want to join a Living Network of Love and Charity.
- If you think you have a calling to be a Minister of God or you might want to dedicate your life to Christ as an Ordained Minister of His Holy Church, contact us to start the process of discipleship and become the benefactors who exercise only love, NOT authority.[22]
.
Christ was proclaimed highest son of David and rightful heir by the people.
It was prophesied that the government would be upon His shoulders[23] but he rules through the hearts and minds of those who will receive Him[24] in spirit[25] and in truth by love for one another.

Isaiah 8:19 And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead? 20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. 21 And they shall pass through it, hardly bestead and hungry: and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse their king and their God, and look upward. 22 And they shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble and darkness, dimness of anguish; and they shall be driven to darkness.
