A
depiction of a seraph (angel; ministering spirit) to represent the
celestial character of the Kingdom of GOD.

reply is on how man-made tools, human frameworks, and materials used
in the holy writings should not be relied on to know the presence of
divinity, or correctly describe the kingdom of GOD. When it comes to
heaven, the church founded by Jesus Christ, and the kingdom of GOD,
many are in spiritual confusion, for they have no realistic idea what
they are to expect from GOD, or hope for in final judgment. All are
cautioned that, temporal elements such as attitudes, behavior,
conduct, imagination, opinion and presumption are expressions of the
flesh, while character, intent, and eternal purpose are aspects of
life essence, unchanging divine image and sacred spirit
content along with godly process and substance. All should expect to
see things new and strange; all will have to discover, learn, and
grow. It is written: Ezekiel 1: 1-10, King James Version (KJV): 1
Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month,
in the fifth day of the month, as I was among the
captives by the river of Chebar, that the heavens were opened,
and I saw visions of God. 2 In the fifth day of the month,
which was the fifth year of king Jehoiachin’s
captivity, 3 The word of the LORD came expressly
unto Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the
Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of the LORD
was there upon him. 4 And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came
out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a
brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof as the
colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire. 5 Also out of the
midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And
this was their appearance; they had the likeness of a man. 6
And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings. 7 And
their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was
like the sole of a calf’s foot:
and they sparkled like the colour of burnished brass. 8 And they
had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and
they four had their faces and their wings. 9 Their wings were
joined one to another; they turned not when they went; they went
every one straight forward. 10 As for the likeness of their faces,
they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right
side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they
four also had the face of an eagle. A fighter in the “Yahoo!

Does
the bible say anything about being far from the kingdom of God and
being near God's kingdom?
THE
GOLDEN ARROW: Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect:
yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world,
that come to nought: But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery,
even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the
world unto our glory: Which none of the princes of this world knew:
for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord
of glory. But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard,
neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath
prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them
unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the
deep things of God. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save
the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth
no man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit
of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the
things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we
speak, not in the words which man’s
wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing
spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receiveth not
the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him:
neither can he know them, because they are spiritually
discerned. (1st Corinthians 2: 6-14, KJV)

“Breakthrough”,
the kingdom of GOD is a condition and quality of ones spirit content.
Spirit (we also say, divine breath; utterance; word) is the process
and substance of the active presence whom we call “divine
fullness” (i.e., divinity; the Godhead; the Father, the Son, the
Holy Spirit). Even so, in the holy writings many descriptions for
heaven and the kingdom of GOD are found that use devices and figures
existing in the material and natural world to describe a discrete
place set apart (sanctified) as the center and seat of the divine
presence. In addition to parables, prophecy, revelation, and
eyewitness testimonies, proclamations, promises and visions are
recorded that provide created beings and living creatures with sacred
knowledge pertaining to the process and realm of divine fullness.
Christian believers who become born again receive a fresh endowment
of spirit substance from the makeup of divinity that includes
balance, faith, holiness, longsuffering, lovingkindness, oneness
without sameness, personhood, wisdom, and wrath against sin. As
offspring of GOD, believers are to mature on the earth relying on
this anointing, and are not to depend on the finite tools and
frameworks of the flesh relied on by others (e.g., emotion,
intellect, logic, carnal reason, science, secular knowledge,
time and space). Many have insisted that the dominion of divine
kingdom may come only by sacred law (Torah), rather than through
priests and prophets who manifest indwelling substance from the
Creator (e.g., comfort, exhortation, a spirit of burning and
judgment, the spirit of truth), or through kings, rulers, and a
Messiah who fulfills the eternal purpose and the sovereign will of
GOD. Consider again the following that uses language from the Bible
and a selection from the music ministry of Damita and Deitrick
Haddon:
(1.)
Isaiah 57: 15-16, King James Version (KJV): 15 For thus saith the
high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is
Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place,
with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to
revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the
contrite ones. 16 For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be
always wroth: for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls
which I have made.
(2.)
Mark 12: 28-34, KJV: 28 And one of the scribes came, and having
heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered
them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all? 29 And
Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is,
Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: 30 And thou shalt love
the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with
all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first
commandment. 31 And the second is like, namely this,
Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other
commandment greater than these. 32 And the scribe said unto him,
Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and
there is none other but he: 33 And to love him with all the heart,
and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all
the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more
than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices. 34 And when Jesus saw
that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from
the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any
question.
(3.)
Luke 17: 20-24, KJV: 20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees,
when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The
kingdom of God cometh not with observation: 21 Neither shall they
say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within
you. 22 And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye
shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall
not see it. 23 And they shall say to you, See here; or, see
there: go not after them, nor follow them. 24 For as
the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under
heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall
also the Son of man be in his day.
There
is far more that should be said, correctly examined, and spiritually
apprehended. (For example, (4.)

so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according
to your faith.
