Revelation 10:11 (anbz, time)

[gbausc]

Shlama Diztazo,

The time of the end, or "end time" is one thing; the "end of time" is another thing. Rev. 10:11 is about the "end of time" with reference to God's Kingdom, announcing that His Kingdom is eternal. It is not laying out a chronology of human history. It is about the transformation of the world into the Kingdom of God.

Re 11:15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were voices and thunders, which said: The kingdom of the world hath become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah; and he will reign for ever and ever.

God's kingdom does not use the world's time standard; time is no more, when we live in eternity. Also consider that Yeshua spoke of "the new world", after His resurrection, which I believe refers to His Kingdom, when He would eat and drink with His disciples. (See Matthew 19:28

Jesus said to them: Verily I say to you, that, as for you who have followed me, when the Son of man shall sit on the throne of his glory in the new world, ye also shall sit on twelve seats, and shall judge the twelve tribes of Israel.

& Mt 26:29

But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father???s kingdom

. This He did when He appeared to them after He was risen: Ac 10:41 Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead.
We are like the disciples who stood staring into space when Jesus was taken into Heaven (Acts 1:7-11). He had already told them: "The Kingdom of God is within some of you."(Luke 17:21), yet we still look into space and time for it to come, when it has already come for those who know Him and have Him living within them. Jesus was not leaving them; He was entering them: "I am with you every day, even to the end of time." Matthew 28:20

Yet even after telling them He would not leave them, they did not believe Him; they believed their eyes as they saw Him go up.
We must decide whether to believe His words, or to believe our eyes and our own thoughts and those of Satan and the world.

Is He here with us now, or not? Is His Kingdom within me or not?

What do you say, Distazo?
