New Creation

The Jewish System of Things Has Ended

A New Creation

The sacrificial death of Christ brought an end to the Jewish system of things.
Since then, a new covenant has been put into effect and a new system of things exists.

The New Testament (Christian Greek Scriptures) writes about the new creation, Christianity.

Bible references to new teaching and system of Christianity.

18 But all things are from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of the reconciliation, 19 namely, that God was by means of Christ reconciling a world to himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses, and he committed the word of the reconciliation to us.

The new creation entrusted with this ministry of reconciliation is called:

8 Now the Scripture, seeing in advance that God would declare people of the nations righteous due to faith, declared the good news beforehand to Abraham, namely: "By means of you all the nations will be blessed."

9 Consequently those who adhere to faith are being blessed together with faithful Abraham.

14 The purpose was that the blessing of Abraham might come to be by means of Jesus Christ for the nations, that we might receive the promised spirit through our faith.

26 YOU are all, in fact, sons of God through YOUR faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For all of YOU who were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor freeman, there is neither male nor female; for YOU are all one [person] in union with Christ Jesus. 29 Moreover, if YOU belong to Christ, YOU are really Abraham's seed, heirs with reference to a promise.

So, what does Abraham's seed, the heir in relation to the promise, inherit?

1Pe 1:3-4
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, for according to his great mercy he gave us a new birth to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 to an incorruptible and undefiled and unfading inheritance. It is reserved in the heavens for YOU,

Abraham's seed, or Christians, have a heavenly calling as shown above.

Heb 3:1
1 Consequently, holy brothers, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the apostle and high priest whom we confess-Jesus.

Php 3:14
14 I am pursuing down toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God by means of Christ Jesus.

2Co 5:1-2
1 For we know that if our earthly house, this tent, should be dissolved, we are to have a building from God, a house not made with hands, everlasting in the heavens. 2 For in this dwelling house we do indeed groan, earnestly desiring to put on the one for us from heaven,

Php 3:20
20 As for us, our citizenship exists in the heavens, from which place also we are eagerly waiting for a savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,

Joh 14:2-3
2 In the house of my Father there are many abodes. Otherwise, I would have told YOU, because I am going my way to prepare a place for YOU. 3 Also, if I go my way and prepare a place for YOU, I am coming again and will receive YOU home to myself, that where I am YOU also may be.

Lu 12:32
32 "Have no fear, little flock, because YOUR Father has approved of giving YOU the kingdom.

The above verses show that Abraham's seed is a little flock that has received a heavenly calling and will be given the kingdom of heaven.

And Christ's promised return has not yet occurred. (Re 22:20)
When Christ comes again, he is to take a little flock into heaven.

And each member of the little flock is to receive a reward according to their own works. (Mt 16:27, Re 2:23, 22:12)

Furthermore, Christ's 2nd coming is to be the time to execute judgment on Satan's system of things and bring an end to wickedness.

All members of the little flock from the 1st century onward will be gathered into heaven when Christ is revealed from heaven with great authority and angelic armies.

Those sleeping in death are, through the 1st resurrection, those remaining in the day of Christ's 2nd coming are, by the angels, are to be taken into heaven. (1Th 4:16-17, Re 14:13, 20:6, 1Co 15:50-52, Mt 24:31)

summary

Since then new things have come into existence.
The new creation is to inherit the kingdom of heaven, and they are called the "sons of the kingdom" and the "seed of Abraham."

From the first century CE, when Christ began His kingdom work, to the present day, the ingathering work of the new creation that belongs to Christ continues.

Ingathering of the heavenly things is to continue until Christ returns.
The sons of the Kingdom are to be gathered into heaven by angels at the time of Christ's second coming.
Thus, the harvest of the firstfruits of mankind will be completed.

1Th 4:16-17
16 because the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a commanding call, with an archangel's voice and with God's trumpet, and those who are dead in union with Christ will rise first. 17 Afterward we the living who are surviving will, together with them, be caught away in clouds to meet the Lord in the air; and thus we shall always be with [the] Lord.

Mt 24:30-31
30 And then the sign of the Son of man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will beat themselves in lamentation, and they will see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And he will send forth his angels with a great trumpet sound, and they will gather his chosen ones together from the four winds, from one extremity of the heavens to their other extremity.

There is a sequence for the harvest of mankind.

Eph 1:10-12
10 for an administration at the full limit of the appointed times, namely, to gather all things together again in the Christ, the things in the heavens and the things on the earth. [Yes,] in him,

11 in union with whom we were also assigned as heirs, in that we were foreordained according to the purpose of him who operates all things according to the way his will counsels, 12 that we should serve for the praise of his glory, we who have been first to hope in the Christ.

After the harvest of the firstfruits of mankind, "the things in the heavens," is completed, next, the harvest of the things on the earth is to begin and move toward its completion.

What is the purpose of gathering the heavenly things into heaven to meet Christ, who is returning with great authority and angelic armies to judge Satan's system? Of course, this is in order to take part in the execution of that judgment.

This fulfills the prophecy in Genesis 3:15.

Ge 3:15
15 And I shall put enmity between you and the woman and between your seed and her seed. He (the seed of woman) will bruise you (the serpent) in the head and you will bruise him in the heel."

At that judgment, Satan and his seed will have their heads crushed by the seed of the woman (Jesus Christ and his little flock).

Ro 16:20
20 For his part, the God who gives peace will crush Satan under YOUR feet shortly. May the undeserved kindness of our Lord Jesus be with YOU.

Re 2:25-27
25 Just the same, hold fast what YOU have until I come. 26 And to him that conquers and observes my deeds down to the end I will give authority over the nations, 27 and he shall shepherd the people with an iron rod so that they will be broken to pieces like clay vessels, the same as I have received from my Father,

All the sons of the kingdom are eagerly waiting for that time to come.
Because we can take part in the execution of that judgment with Christ in heaven.

This will mark the beginning of the revealing of the sons of God from heaven.
And all creation is eagerly waiting for that time.
It will liberate all creations from Satan's evil domination.

Ro 8:19-21
19 For the eager expectation of the creation is waiting for the revealing of the sons of God. 20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not by its own will but through him that subjected it, on the basis of hope 21 that the creation itself also will be set free from enslavement to corruption and have the glorious freedom of the children of God.

From this point on, the time for gathering earthly things begins.

So, until Christ's 2nd coming, the ingathering work of the things in the heavens goes on.
Now is not the time to gather the things on the earth.

The Watchtower’s wrong teachings

Since then, the Watchtower Society has kept people's minds focused on earthly hope, even though now is not the time, hiding, so to speak, the message of the heavenly calling from people's minds.

Additionally, as instruments of Satan, Watchtower Society have, willfully or through ignorance, deceived as many as 7 million obedient and honest people around the world through their false teachings, such as the presence of Christ, the faithful and discreet slave, the other sheep, the new covenant, and the 144,000.

Their teachings are the same as those of the Pharisees.

Mt 23:13
13 "Woe to YOU, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because YOU shut up the kingdom of the heavens before men; for YOU yourselves do not go in, neither do YOU permit those on their way in to go in.

Read the Bible without the bias of the Watchtower or any other religious organization.

Also, examine the scripture-based reasoning of others.
There is nothing to fear in the process of discovering the truth.

The effort and sacrifice required to find the truth will surely be rewarded.

Pr 23:23
23 Buy truth itself and do not sell it - wisdom and discipline and understanding.

2Co 13:8
8 For we can do nothing against the truth, but only for the truth.

Pr 12:19
19 It is the lip of truth that will be firmly established forever, but the tongue of falsehood will be only as long as a moment.

Mt 7:7-8
7 "Keep on asking, and it will be given YOU; keep on seeking, and YOU will find; keep on knocking, and it will be opened to YOU. 8 For everyone asking receives, and everyone seeking finds, and to everyone knocking it will be opened.
