again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." Matthew 25:31-34 31 "But when the Son of Man
comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on His
glorious throne. 32 "And
all the nations will be gathered before Him; and He will separate them from one
another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats; 33 and He will put the sheep on
His right, and the goats on the left. 34
"Then the King will say to those on His right, 'Come, you who are blessed
of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the
world.
NAS Luke 7:28 "I

(Divine Eternal Kingdom.) (John
17:1-5 1 These things Jesus spoke; and lifting up His eyes
to heaven, He said, "Father, the hour has come; glorify Thy Son, that the
Son may glorify Thee, 2 even
as Thou gavest Him authority over all mankind, that
to all whom Thou hast given Him, He may give eternal life. 3 "And this is eternal life,
that they may know Thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom Thou hast
sent. 4 "I glorified
Thee on the earth, having accomplished the work which Thou hast given Me to
do. 5 "And now, glorify
Thou Me together with Thyself, Father, with the glory which I had with Thee
before the world was.)

over to me, and I give it to whomever I wish.
