The kingdom from The prophecy by electron7

“For the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hidden in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.” Mat13:44
The kingdom of heaven is just like a treasure hidden in a field: so in other words, it’s something very special, and not obvious for all to see; and those that are not seeking to find the kingdom,or to understand the mysteries of the kingdom will pass right over this great treasure and not even know what they’re missing; and in this case, the treasure isn’t buried in a field,for it is hidden in the parables; and instead of using a pick and shovel, those that seek to understand the mysteries of the kingdom must find it by revelation.
So with that in mind, let’s look at the conclusion to the Sermon on the Mt. and see what Jesus had to say about this mysterious kingdom of heaven, and who will enter in:

“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils?
And in thy name done many wonderful works?” Matthew 7:21-22

Now once again, this is talking about a future event; an entrance into the kingdom that takes place when we see Jesus face to face.(“many will say to me in that day”)
So even though we have been translated out of darkness, into the kingdom of his Son, (Col 1:13) this is talking about an entrance that is yet to come.
For there is a day coming when we will all stand before the judgment seat of Christ; In that day many will try to enter his kingdom gates; but not all that say Lord, Lord are going to enter in.
You see, the kingdom of heaven has yet to appear. (Luke 19:11)
But when it does, we are going to see a glorious city with gates on every side; (Rev 21:10-13) gates that are going to separate those that made Christ their savior, from those that sought for the treasure,found the treasure, then gave up everything they had to do the will of the Father. (Mat 7:13; Mat 8:11-12; Mat 22:1-14; Mat 25:1-30; Luke 13:24-29; Rev 21:9-13; Rev 22:14).

So if we want to walk through the gates of his kingdom, we need to make Jesus the Lord of our lives by doing the things he said; for not every believer that says Lord,Lord will enter into the kingdom of heaven,but he that does the will of the Father: and his will is actually very simple: we must keep all of his commandments; not only the ten commandments that are found in the old testament,but the two commandments that Jesus preached to his disciples: the ones that fulfilled all else by love. (Rom 13:

“And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? Luke 6:46

“Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.
When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us. Luke 13:24-25

So if we want to enter his visible kingdom (New Jerusalem) we need to build our house on the rock; not just by hearing his sayings,
but by keeping them and doing them; for those that are wise do everything he commands us to do; not just the old commandments that Jesus fulfilled, (Mat 5:17-19)
but the new ones that call for an inward righteousness and an obedience that takes place in the heart: For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees,ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. (Matt 5:20)
For the Pharisees fasted, prayed, tithed, proselyted, went to church, and looked very righteous, but it was only an appearance; for on the inside, their hearts were full of pride, anger, lust, greed, dishonesty,wickedness, iniquity, uncleanness, hypocrisy, and evil speaking; and not only did Jesus reprove them for their lack of love and mercy, but he said they were foolish for ignoring their inward parts.
(Matt 12:33-34; Matt 13:32-37; Matt 23:1-28; Luke 11:39-44; Luke 18:9-14)

For in that day, many will come from the north, south, east and west, and go to a specific location, and go for a specific reason: to try to enter into one of the gates of the kingdom of heaven,or the gates of New Jerusalem; for the two are one and the same!!
But not all that believe in Jesus Christ will be allowed to enter in, for those that continued to work iniquity or those that lack a righteous heart will be told to go their way.

“And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband…. and had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels,and the names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of Israel; On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; on the west three gates.” Rev 21:2,12-13

“Behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. I am the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end; the first and the last.
Blessed are they that do his commandments, (as found in the Sermon on the Mt) that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.” Revelation 22:12-14

“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things that God hath prepared for them that love him;” (those that love him keep his commandments) 1 Cor 2:9
Not only will they enter in through the gates of his city and partake of the tree of life, (Rev 2:7: Rev 22:14) but they will inherit his kingdom (James 2:5) and receive a crown of life.
(James 1:12) and he will make his abode with them forever more. (John 14:23) see 2 Pet 1:5-11
