The True Believers Privileges.

The Future Kingdom and you.

For those who do not believe in God and have not accepted His gift of forgiveness, then this is your future, take care this is what you want!
Matthew 13:41-43.

"41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear."

For the True Believer the following scripture is the promise of God for you and therefore is your future.
Matthew 6:33,34.

"33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof."

Those who are True Believers have been made children of God, heirs to all the riches He has. However, as a result of the sins of Mankind we are all having to suffer the pain of a world which has rejected God, even the whole of the creation, trees and animals etc. are suffering because of the sins of Mankind. But, one day, in the future this will all change when the children of God take their place in the new kingdom.
Romans 8:17-25.

"17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
19 For the earnest expectation of the creation waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
20 For the creation was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,
21 Because the creation itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
25 But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it."

Until this happens we have access to God through the Holy Spirit.
Romans 8:26,27.

"26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God."

For those who love God, then everything that happens is under the control of God and will ultimately be the best thing to have happened, even though it might not be very good or painful right now.
Note that the words used in the original language indicated that these conditions all ready have happened, they are not in the future, we were "predestinated," then were "called." We have been "Justified," and now are "glorified." as far as God is concerned.
Romans 8:28-30.

"28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified."

As a result of these facts and our status as sons and daughters of God then all we need to do is serve and wait on Him until He finishes His plans.
Romans 8:28-30.

"31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth.
34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

So what is the future for the True Believer?

The next event prophesied for the world is the "." This event can take place at any time and will involve all True Believers being taken of the earth into heaven and allowing God to start the punishment period for the people left on the earth, which the Bible calls the Tribulation. The earth will suffer a period of showing the power of God and as a result it will be period of great trouble, pain and suffering, effectively a punishment on the people through God, but people can turn to God, and many will. It will finally end on the return of Jesus Christ with all the True Believers to rule the world for 1000 years, then God will setup a perfect place for the True Believers and all who have rejected the free gift of salvation through Jesus will go into eternal punishment.
