The Kingdom of Heaven and the Kingdom of God

Colossians 4:2-4, 5-9, 10-17 Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving; Withal praying also for us, that God would open to us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds: That I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.

Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time. Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man. As to all my state (affairs) shall Tychicus declare to you, who is, a faithful minister and fellow-servant in the Lord: Whom I have sent to you for the same purpose, that he might know your estate, and comfort your hearts; With Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They shall make known to you all things which are done here. 

Aristarchus my fellow-prisoner salutes you, and Marcus, sister's son to Barnabas, (touching whom you received commandments: if he comes to you, receive him); And Jesus, which is called Justus, who are of the circumcision. These only are my fellow-workers for the kingdom of God, which have been a comfort to me. Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, salutes you, laboring fervently for you in prayers, that you may stand perfect and complete in all the Will of God. For I bear him record, that he has a great zeal for you, and them in Laodicea, and them in Hierapolis. Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas, greet you. Salute the brethren which are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church which is in his house. And when this epistle is read among you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans; and that you likewise read the epistle from Laodicea. And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which you have received in the Lord, that you fulfill it.

The following will be a good intro again, into the warnings of both John the Baptist, Jesus and even Paul, which I promised earlier would come at the end of this study. I have to include this in this section because I do not like cutting things from a text, and thereby softening or watering it down to make it seem to say something other than is therein revealed.

1Thessalonis 2:1-8, 9-12, 13-16 For yourselves, know our entrance in to you, that it was not in vain: But even after that we had suffered before, and were shamefully entreated, as you know, at Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak to you this Gospel of God with much contention (put another way it might say this; we had the boldness in our God to speak to you this Gospel of God amid much opposition), for our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile: But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with this Gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, Who tries our hearts. For neither at any time used we flattering words, as you know, nor with a cloak of covetousness; God is our witness: Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ. But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherishes her children: So being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to have imparted to you, not this Gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because you were dear to us. 

For you remember, our labor and travail: for laboring night and day, because we would not be chargeable to any of you, we preached to you this Gospel of God. You are witnesses, and God also, bearing us witness, how holy and justly and blamelessly we behaved ourselves among you that believe: As you know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father does his children, that you walk worthy of God, Who has called you into His kingdom and glory. 

For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when you received the word of God which you heard of us, you received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually works also in you that believe. For you, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for you also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews: Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men: Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins alway: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost. (this partly happened as prophesied in 66 to 70AD, according to Daniel 9:22-27 and then in World War II and the holocast that it hide, they, the Hebrews heirs, brought down upon themselves as witnessed by this passage Isaiah 53:3 and Matthew 27:25, John 19:15. And the not heeding of the many warnings such as found in Hebrews and others.)
