" Kingdom of God also called Kingdom Of Heaven, in Christianity, the

spiritual realm over which God reigns as king, or the fulfillment on

Earth of God's will. The phrase occurs frequently in the New

Testament, primarily used by Jesus Christ in the first three Gospels.

It is generally considered to be the central theme of Jesus'

teaching, but widely differing views have been held about Jesus'

teaching on the Kingdom of God and its relation to the developed view

of the church.

 

Though the phrase itself rarely occurs in pre-Christian Jewish

literature, the idea of God as king was fundamental to Judaism, and

Jewish ideas on the subject undoubtedly underlie, and to some extent

determine, the New Testament usage. Behind the Greek word for kingdom

(basileia) lies the Aramaic term malkut, which Jesus may have used.

Malkut refers primarily not to a geographical area or realm nor to

the people inhabiting the realm but, rather, to the activity of the

king himself, his exercise of sovereign power. The idea might better

be conveyed in English by an expression such as kingship, rule, or

sovereignty.

 

To most Jews of Jesus' time the world seemed so completely alienated

from God that nothing would deal with the situation short of direct

divine intervention on a cosmic scale. The details were variously

conceived, but it was widely expected that God would send a

supernatural, or supernaturally endowed, intermediary (the Messiah),

whose functions would include a judgment to decide who was worthy

to " inherit the Kingdom, " an expression which emphasizes that the

Kingdom was thought of as a divine gift, not a human achievement.

 

According to the first three Gospels, most of Jesus' miraculous

actions are to be understood as prophetic symbols of the coming of

the Kingdom, and his teaching was concerned with the right response

to the crisis of its coming. The nationalistic tone of much of the

Jewish expectation is absent from the teaching of Jesus.

 

Scholarly opinion is divided on the question as to whether Jesus

taught that the Kingdom had actually arrived during his lifetime.

Possibly, he recognized in his ministry the signs of its imminence,

but he nevertheless looked to the future for its arrival " with

power. " He may well have regarded his own death as the providential

condition of its full establishment. Nevertheless, he seems to have

expected the final consummation in a relatively short time (Mark

9:1). Thus, Christians were perplexed when the end of the world did

not occur within a generation, as Paul, for example, expected.

Christian experience soon suggested, however, that, as the result of

Christ's Resurrection, many of the blessings traditionally reserved

until the life of the age to come were already accessible to the

believer in this age. Thus, though the phrase Kingdom of God was used

with decreasing frequency, that for which it stood was thought of as

partly realized here and now in the life of the church, which at

various periods has been virtually identified with the Kingdom; the

Kingdom of God, however, would be fully realized only after the end

of the world and the accompanying Last Judgment. "

" Now the Time has come to start talking, announcing, telling about it

to everyone. Otherwise the world would say that we never knew about

it....

 

You must have that vision before you that I have put many a times

before you people that you have to emancipate the humanity....

 

You may tell people but the new announcement has to come to say that

running after falsehood is not going to take you to God. We believe

in the power of Love, and not in the power of hatred. We believe that

everyone is capable of finding the truth and getting to the heaven of

that paradise which is promised to us, the kingdom of God. "

 

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

" In the history of spirituality, it is one of the greatest days when

we find Christ rose from the dead. It is very significant and

symbolic that in Sahaja Yoga, also what we have done, is to rise from

the dead – into life. It is to be understood that resurrection is the

message for all of us, for the whole world. We have to resurrect

ourselves. "

 

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

Istanbul, Turkey. April 15, 2001

 

 

The Kingdom of God that we were promised is at hand. This is not a

phrase out of a sermon or a lecture, but it is the actualization of

the experience of the highest Truth which is Absolute, now

manifesting itself in ordinary people at this present moment. "

 

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

 

 

" The work is tremendous. It's not for medium, mediocre people to do

this job. Frightened, fearful, arrogant, cheeky - they cannot, they

have no mettle.... Tell all the nations and tell all the people all

over the Great Message that the Time of Resurrection is here. Now! At

this time, and that you are capable of doing it. "

 

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

Cowley Manor Seminar, UK - July 31, 1982

 

 

" Today, Sahaja Yoga has reached the state of Mahayoga, which is en-

masse evolution manifested through it. It is this day's Yuga Dharma.

It is the way the Last Judgment is taking place. Announce it to all

the seekers of truth, to all the nations of the world, so that nobody

misses the blessings of the Divine to achieve their meaning, their

absolute, their spirit. "

 

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

 

 

" The main thing that one has to understand is that the time has come

for you to get all that is promised in the scriptures, not only in

the Bible but all the scriptures of the world. The time has come

today that you have to become a Christian, a Brahmin, a Pir, through

your Kundalini awakening only. There is no other way. And that your

Last Judgment is also now. "

 

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

 

 

" Of course there are some absurd things which grew with

misinterpretation and interference from unholy people, which are

common in these religions. For example, Jews, Christian and Muslims

believe that when they die their bodies will come out of their graves

and they will all be resurrected at the Time of Resurrection, at the

Time of Last Judgment, at the Time of Qiyamah. It is illogical to

think what will remain inside those graves after five hundred years.

Nobody wants to think and understand that it is not the body but the

soul that will come out of these bodies, be born again as human

beings and be saved through Qiyamah and Resurrection. "

 

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

 

 

" The Indian sage, who may be called the pioneer in this field, was

the first great astrologer Bhrigumuni. In his book Nadi Granth, he

made clear predictions about these Modern Times. He also specifically

predicted how the Kundalini would be awakened spontaneously through

Sahaja Yoga, that is, spontaneous union with the Divine, and become

the means of both individual and collective transformation on a large

scale, through teaching incarnation of a great Yogi. This Yogi would

be an unparalleled master of the Kundalini and would teach all the

people the ancients secrets of self-transformation. These are the

times described in the Holy Bible as the Last Judgment and in the

Koran as Qiyamah — the Resurrection Time. Astrologically it also

called the Age of Aquarius, the Time of Rebirth and of great

spiritual development on the Earth. "

 

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

 

 

" Though you can understand that Mother's Love makes it very easy for

you to get to your Realization and that the whole story of Last

Judgment, which looks such a horrifying experience, has been made

very beautiful, and very tender, and delicate, and does not disturb

you. "
