Matthew 28:19-20 19 Therefore, go and make people from all nations into talmidim, immersing them into the reality of the Father, the Son and the Ruach HaKodesh, 20 and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember! I will be with you always, yes, even until the end of the age.”
The beauty of the message of The Kingdom reaches to all not just some races and classes. But the scriptures do declare a remnant shall be saved and many are called but few are chosen. Yet the mandate of the Kingdom of Elohim declares as a commandment for our days and times to make disciples of men and setting the truth. In discovering what Kingdom means and how to operate as citizens of our King. Not some trues half trues or fables and cunning stories of men. But actual precepts and a culture that reach past any known existence to mankind. This is the message that Yeshua taught studied and created as His original intent to the purpose of creating man.
THE PRIORITY OF THE KINGDOM
The Kingdom of God is at the center of everything. God’s every action and activity is motivated by His desire and passion to see His Kingdom established on the earth. How important to the Body of Christ is the message of the Kingdom of God?
The Kingdom of God must be our highest priority; Yeshua gave us no other commission. When He said, “Go and make disciples of all nations” (Matt. 28:19), He was commanding us to proclaim the Kingdom of God to a world that knew it not.
THE VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE WORLDS
Many people dismiss the spiritual world as nothing more than superstition. Others acknowledge the existence of the spiritual, but believe it has little or no influence on their lives, or that it is a realm to be manipulated for their own benefit.
In truth, the spiritual world is more real than the natural one. First of all, the spiritual realm is larger than the physical realm, and, second, it is the realm from which the physical world originated. In other words, the invisible produced the visible.
All things were created from the mind of a powerful Maker. What He imagined and planned in His mind He brought forth by the power of the Word.
Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal (2 Cor. 4:16-18).
God’s original purpose for creating the visible world was to establish His invisible Kingdom in that visible world— to manifest the spiritual in the physical. His plan for accomplishing this called for children who would inhabit visible physical bodies.
For this reason He created man in His own image. He created them spirit, soul and body with the capacity to communicate with both realms, the realm of the spirit and the realm of the physical.
CREATED TO BE KINGS IN GOD’S WORLD
God created us as spirit “men,” put us into physical bodies, some male and some female, placed us in a visible, physical world that He had created and said, “Dominate this for Me.” In this way, God planned for us to rule and exercise control over the earth in His name. Through us, His rule of the heavenly Kingdom would be extended over the earth.
We were created as administrators of God’s Kingdom on earth. It’s that simple. Adam was the first, the prototype. Next came Eve, whom God fashioned from a part of Adam’s side, and who ruled with Adam as a helper and
equal partner.
Adam and Eve disobeyed God and thereby forfeited their Kingdom rights. Satan, an interloper and outcast of Heaven, illegally usurped the throne that they abdicated, wreaking havoc ever since in the hearts and lives of people everywhere in every generation.
Because we are made in God’s image, our hearts cry out for Him. But since our sin has separated us from Him and we cannot see Him, all we can do is reach out and fashion gods of our own making according to our own flawed understanding.
Cut off from God, our source, we live lives characterized by fear, hopelessness, and despair. Worst of all, we live in fear of the One who created us to be like Him, who loves us with an undying love.
A LITTLE HELP FROM HEAVEN
What could we do? In our fallen state we were helpless. Nothing that we might do in our own power would be sufficient to restore us to God’s favor and to our former position. We needed help that only God could provide. That’s why He sent Yeshua Ha’ Mashiach, His only begotten Son— the second “Adam”—to undo the curse brought upon mankind by the first Adam.
But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.… So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being;” the last Adam, a life-giving spirit (1 Cor. 15:20-22,45).
Adam lost the Kingdom; Yeshua restored the Kingdom. Adam did not lose heaven, because he was never in heaven; he was formed from the dust of the ground. Heaven was not Adam’s home, and neither is it ours— ultimately.
Heaven is a real place, the spiritual domain where God rules, but don’t forget that He gave the earth to man as our domain to rule in His name: “The highest heavens belong to the Lord, but the earth he has given to man” (Ps. 115:16).
Here the word head stands for authority. By their failure to stand up to HaSatan and use their Kingdom authority to defeat him, Adam and Eve lost that authority. God promised, however, that the day would come when another would arise, an offspring and descendant of the woman, who would crush HaSatan’s authority, take back the power he stole, and restore the scepter of earth’s domain to man, its rightful holder. That offspring was Yeshua Ha’Mashiach.
THE SON OF MAN AND THE ANCIENT OF DAYS
This Kingdom was represented in the dream by the rock not cut by human hands that shattered the great statue. Furthermore, this eternal Kingdom would be established on the earth by a divine person whom Daniel referred to as a “son of man”.
This “son of man” came with the “clouds of heaven,” which is a reference, not to literal clouds in the sky, but to hosts of angels. The son of man is led into the presence of the “Ancient of Days,” another name for God the Father. Who is this “son of man”?
For over 500 years, from the days of Daniel to the days of Yeshua, the Hebrews regarded the term “son of man” as a reference to the Messiah, the Anointed One whom God would send to deliver His people. As the four Gospels in the New Testament make clear, Yeshua adopted the term for Himself. “Son of Man” was Yeshua’ preferred self-designation.
By so identifying Himself, Yeshua was claiming to be the Messiah, the anointed Son of God.
Daniel 2:44-45 44 “In the days of those kings the God of heaven will establish a kingdom that will never be destroyed, and that kingdom will not pass into the hands of another people. It will break to pieces and consume all those kingdoms; but it, itself, will stand forever — 45 like the stone you saw, which, without human hands, separated itself from the mountain and broke to pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver and the gold. The great God has revealed to the king what will come about in the future. The dream is true, and its interpretation is reliable.”
Daniel 7:13-14 13 “I kept watching the night visions, when I saw, coming with the clouds of heaven,
someone like a son of man. He approached the Ancient One and was led into his presence. 14 To him was given rulership, glory and a kingdom, so that all peoples, nations and languages should serve him. His rulership is an eternal rulership that will not pass away; and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.
FATHER IS ALWAYS WORKING
As children of our Father, we also should be working whenever He is working. Yeshua, as our elder brother, has set the example for us. The good work of the Kingdom of God never takes a holiday, and neither should we. Even when we are on vacation, and at other times when we are not at work at our jobs, we should still be working for the Kingdom.
No matter the time or the place or the circumstances, God is always working. He deliberately puts us in situations where we can minister to people. God is always working, and as His children, we must always be working also. That’s what the Kingdom is all about.

Shema Selah, for we are of the Kingdom of heaven and should be about out Father, the King's work--always!! https://www.facebook.com/fiveam.prayer/videos/1525018337576277/?l=445717812654444430
