Book of Judgement Chapter 22<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

THE FATHER\u2019S KINGDOM ON EARTH.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

1. God said: I have heard thy prayer, O man: Thy kingdom come on earth, as it is in<\/span>
\nheaven.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Hast thou considered thy words? And art thou prepared for it? Hast thou fulfilled the
\ncommandments? And lovest thou thy neighbor as thyself? And hast thou done unto the
\nleast, as thou desirest thy Creator to do unto thee?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Now, behold, Jehovih hath sent me, thy God, to answer thy prayer.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4. I demand of thee, that thou hast no favorite doctrine above thy neighbor;
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

5. And that thou art servant to no God, nor Lord, nor Savior, nor church, unacceptable to
\nany man in all the world.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

6. But, that thou servest Jehovih with all thy wisdom and strength, by doing good unto thy
\nfellow-men with all thy might.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

7. That, because thou art strong, or wise, or rich, thou understandest, that thou shalt use
\nthese excellencies for raising up such as have them not, believing, that Jehovih so
\nprovided thee to that end.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

8. Consider, O man! Thou hast a kingdom already. Wouldst thou have two kingdoms?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

9. Behold, the kingdom of man hath its power in armies and ships of war.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

10. The kingdoms of thy Father have not these, but love, wisdom, righteousness and
\npeace.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

11. I demand of thee, that thou shalt give up thy army and navy. Art thou prepared to say:
\nTo whom smiteth me on one cheek, I turn the other to be smitten also?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

12. Is thy faith still more in weapons of death, than in the Voice of Everlasting Life?
\nEsteemest thou thy army and navy more to be depended on, than Jehovih?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

13. Art thou willing to sacrifice thy time and money and self-interest for sake of Jehovih’s
\nkingdom?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

14. Use thy judgment, O man. Since the time of the ancients till now, the only progress
\ntowards the Father’s kingdom hath been through sacrifice.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

15. What less canst thou expect?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

16. If thou sellest what thou hast, and givest to the poor, behold thy neighbors will
\nimprison thee for a madman.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

17. If thou abnegate thyself and labor for others, they will persecute thee, and revile thee.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

18. If thou shouldst profess to love thy neighbor as thyself, they would mock at thee.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

19. Therefore, I declare unto thee, O man, in the land of Uz the Father’s kingdom can not
\nbe.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

20. But thou shalt go hence; and, behold, I will go with thee, and with thy neighbor, and
\nshow thee how to build, even as a kingdom in heaven.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
