What God can do

--- Quote ---You've heard of Golden Age, Dark Ages, Modern Age, It's like that.. God's Age. God's AGE is equivalent to Peace all over and throughout all nations, all nations united into one and all of them peaceful and happy at same time. You enter into God's kingdom when you overcome yourself in the here and now because that means you live in peace with yourself. I'm still trying to make sense of it myself too.
Here’s something else Jesus said about the present kingdom:
“But if it is by the Spirit of God that I cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come to you” (Matt 12:28).
Jesus also said:
“The kingdom of God is not coming with things that can be observed; nor will they say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or ‘There it is!’ For, in fact, the kingdom of God is among you” (Luke 17:20-21).
Jesus is not saying to the Pharisees that the kingdom is in their hearts, but that it is in their midst. Where Jesus is doing the work of God, there is God’s kingdom.
Jesus was not saying to the Pharisees that the kingdom of God is in their hearts. Rather, the kingdom was among them because they were in the presence of Jesus himself. get it? It's like Jesus was saying to the pharisees that the kingdom of God is already among them and they just don't see it. It is something experienced among the people.
Here's what Jesus said.. he said in a sense that overcomers are like parts of the kingdom of God that began with the size of a mustard seed of this world that grew into a plants. it is the kingdom of God growing as more mustard seed grows. if that makes sense? as several mustard seeds grows, it grows into plants, then it plants to other people' hearts and so on. First thing first, people start going under the plants to thrive and eventually mustard seed gets planted there and they grow into plants too. It means blind eyes are opened, when deaf ears hear, when demons are cast out, when the hungry are fed, when sinners are forgiven, That means the kingdom of God is truly present on earth. Yet it’s relatively small right now and won’t reach its full, glorious extent until later. That is God's reign on Earth when it reaches its full extent. Maybe?

God told the Earth to be and it was so, he told the heavens, all planets and such, to be, and they obeyed. He told the water to stop and it obeyed. He tells man " I am in control" man says NO!, I, with my free will, am in control of what i do!!

Lol. Even German scientists are now admitting that there are no free will because everything are made of chemical reactions. Everything requires chemical reaction to make something occur. Nervous systems cant occur eithout chemical reactions either. So for a thought to be formed, it must be started by chemical reactions first. So really everything has a chemical reaction and nothing is done without chemical reactions. In order for us to create a thought. Chemical reactions must start that thought. Maybe the world will catch on that eventually. :) Everything obeys but chemcial reactions can either be stable or unstable. We are just the unstable ones right now. Even solar systems are run by chemical reactions but eventually with time and age and other chemical reactions, they become unstable and spin off course. Same concept. We will be stable one day.

Speaking of God and Chemical reactions:
Our sun, the source of heat and electrons/photons that are morphed into fruit and vegetables by photo-synthesis is burning out; slowly but surely unless it is re-generated. How big would it have been 100 million years ago when scientist say life on the earth began?
The orbit of the earth is one year or 360 days. Yes it has slowed down to 365 over time, but....
The orbit of the Moon around the earth is 30 days. Was that an accident or is a month supposed to be a time indicator?
Humans have eight fingers + two thumbs and that adds up to the decimal system of counting.
For shoe less rural folks there are an additional ten toes so they can count to twenty. Accident? Or did God want us to learn the decimal system of counting?
The lower animals often drop/birth their offspring and have them walking the same day or soon after.
Humans have to take months and years of intensive, loving care to prepare their offspring for independent life on this planet. Accident or wise plan?
Humans, who are born self important and thinking they know better than their creator what is good; are allowed to age and wrinkle and stiffen up over their lifetime to teach them that it is appointed unto every man once to die (physically & spiritually) so that they hopefully plan for their demise. Accident or wise plan?
Every eventuality and every possibility is accounted for. Even our human inventions were gifted to certain of us over time, when our Creator decided that the time was right. Men knew that they could fly in the air millennia ago, but they didn't develop the means until the time was right. God is sovereign.

I wonder if there will be any sports of any kind playing during God's reign?
--- End quote ---
Yes, there will be the KFL (Kingdom Football League)
John Madden will be eternal commissioner.
Mike Dikta and Jack Lambert will officiate all games, to keep it 'heavenly'.
Some of the teams:
Tampa Bay Archangels (Mike Alstott will return)
Florida State Power and Authorities (yes, they will be that good)
Atlanta Were-demons (they will be defeated continuously)
Dallas Golden Hairs (Jimmy Johnson returns as coach)
Kansas City Seraphims (must have competition)
New Orleans S-cain’ts (as usual)
Just to name a few.
No, I have no scripture.
