P. 68
And as ye go, preach, saying, The Kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick,
cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely
give. Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses, Nor scrip for your
journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy
of his meat. And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, inquire who in it is
worthy; and there abide till ye go thence. And when ye come into an house, salute
it. And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy,
let your peace return to you. And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your
words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.
Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and
Gomorrah in the Day of Judgment, than for that city. (Paraphrased)
Lord Jesus said in the Book of Matthew 4:17; From that time Jesus began to preach,
and to say, Repent: for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand.
At hand means that the Kingdom of Heaven has now been established on all the
Earth, and in all the Nations of this Earth.
It should be noted that the Kingdom of God is established in the Spiritual Heart of
Mankind, which is the Spiritual Kingdom of being born-again in the spiritual heart
of man. The Kingdom of Heaven is the establishment or the extension of God’s
Eternal Kingdom of Heaven on Earth.
The Lord Jesus Christ’s Mission Statement for His Apostles in the Book of Luke
9:1 ̶ 5; Then He called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and
authority over all devils, and to cure diseases. And He sent them to preach the
Kingdom of God, and to heal the sick. And He said unto them, Take nothing for
your journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have
two coats apiece. And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence
depart. And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off
the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.
It should also be noted that in the Book of Matthew the Lord Yeshua Ha Mashiach
was basically showing the religious Jews that they would not enter the Kingdom of
God by living and trying to obey all the laws. When the Lord was asked which
is the great commandment in the law? The Lord said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy
God with all thy Heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first
and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, thou shalt Love thy
neighbor as thyself. The Lord was actually warning the religious Jews that trying to
obey all the religious laws would be eternally fatal; because God is not a Religion,
you must have a personal Love relationship with God.
The Book of Matthew was written for the religious Jews; the Book of Mark was
