During the years leading up to 2005, the Lord started to speak very clearly to me about the Kingdom of God. This came as the result of a long search for the 'missing link' in my understanding of Christianity.
In my search, I was taken back to the very Cornerstone of our faith, which is Jesus Christ. Gradually I came to realise that the missing link between our understanding of Christ and the understanding of the church was the revelation of the Kingdom of God. I realised that we can only fully understand and comprehend the mandate and vision of the church once we understand the Kingdom of God.
The mystery that was revealed through the apostle Paul was the mystery of the church - Christ in us, the hope of glory. But we need to remember that the foundation Paul built upon was the foundation already laid by Jesus Christ.
The message of Jesus Christ was the mystery of all times that was being revealed by the King Himself - the revelation of the Kingdom of God.
That is why Jesus proclaimed in Mat. 13:11: "...Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given."
Jesus then proclaims in Mat. 13:16,17: "But blessed are your eyes for they see, and your ears for they hear; for assuredly, I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it."
May our eyes see, our ears hear and our minds conceive the glorious revelation of the Kingdom of God! Jesus Christ rules and reigns - to His kingdom there shall be no end (Luk. 1:33).
