               In the last chapter the Veil of the Law over the hearts of the

               church is revealed. There is another deception or veil that clouds


               our minds and it has to do with our inability to grasp the reality

               of our place in the kingdom of God. There are those who do not

               even consider the reality of it, and they think they are Christians.

               Jesus told Nicodemus, you must be born of the water and the

               Spirit to see the kingdom. The kingdom does not come with

               observation or in the same way as earthly kingdoms. It is

               established in the heart of the believer spiritually by the Holy

               Spirit. Jesus described it to Nicodemus as like when you see the

               wind moving a tree, you see the work of the wind even though

               the wind is invisible. After the kingdom is established in a

               believer it is in the world through them, the same as it was in the


               world through Jesus. It is in the world but it is not of the world

                       2 Kings 6:14-17 Therefore sent he there horses, and

               chariots, and a great army: and they came by night, and


               surrounded the city. And when the servant of the man of God

               was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an army compassed the

               city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto

               him, Alas, my master! what shall we do? And he answered, Fear

               not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with

               them. And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray you, open his

               eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the

               young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of
