Pastor Aaron used two charts yesterday to help us visualize the “already/not yet” nature of the Kingdom of God. They will be a big help when you’re listening to the sermon. To download the charts, right-click and choose “Save Image As…”

Hey Matt. Thanks a lot for putting the charts on here to reexamine. Another chart that is quite interesting is one done by Clarence Larkin (1850-1924). It illustrates something that Aaron spoke about in Part 3: how the prophets were unable to “see” the “in-between” stage that we are in. It can be viewed at http://www.preservedwords.com/images/lprophecy.gif

I guess this diagram answers the question, we as kids use to ask our parents…”are we there yet”….well, yes, maybe, shortly, when we get there we get there”…..
Aaron, thanks for providing a visual that brought this together. I am sure we spend countless hours drawning all the lines and making it fancy.

Today I checked here to see what was going on, and I want to add my appreciation for the charts. We really are already-and-not-yet people. …about 5 minutes at a time, except when we are meeting together. And then we can maintain for a little longer. Wonderful!
A little off subject, but I want to add to what Chad wrote. This church age was hidden from them, according to 1 Cor 2:7-8. Just today I read this verse again: “..the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory, which none of the rulers of this age new; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.” They were not permitted by God to see. If they truly knew that Jesus was God’s Lamb, they would not have done what had to be done…that this Lamb had to be slain to take away our sins. And also by this, we become citizens of God’s kingdom. What a loving God we have!
