The End of the Age
In this current season, God is revealing more about Himself, His heaven, and creation.
The deeper revealing of Spirit reality is correcting and expanding man’s view of what The Bible is really saying about the “end times.”
God’s universal laws, regarding the workings of Spirit and natural or physical creation, never change.
However, our view of the things of God continues to be adjusted, especially in this latter portion of the “end of the age” and in the beginning portion of the next age.
In my opinion one of the major reasons this is happening now and not sooner is that more of the people of God are truly falling in love with Him.
We are experiencing an increase of Spirit love and oneness with God in personally communing with Him and less involvement in religion and religious activities.
In part, religion has provided ways for us to continue to live most of our lives aligned with the fallen world’s ways and still maintain a semblance or form of godliness through routine religious activities and good deeds.
Through our deepening love relationship with God, we are being drawn to the true foundation of Spirit God in Christ Jesus in us by The Holy Spirit.
We are becoming much more in connection with the “mind of Christ” in us leading us into the fullness of mature sons of God. This is enabling us to see and grasp more clearly the Spirit reality of God, His creation, and our part in it all. (1 Corinthians 2:16).
The reality of becoming one with God in love is enabling us to begin to grasp the true oneness of God in all things.
Take some time to meditate and consider these next statements of some of the foundational truth of reality.
All Existence is One. All is created and continues to exist by the emission of the supernatural power and intelligent design of Spirit God.
All existence is designed to fit and work together in perfect balance and order to the glory of God.
Existence is in Two Parts the Seen and the Unseen. We call that which is of the seen realm physical or natural.
We call that which is of the unseen realm spiritual or supernatural.
The Unseen Spirit God is the Supernatural Spirit Substance of All Existence From Which All Creation Both Seen and Unseen Exists.
Spirit God abides in unseen heaven with many created spirit beings. There are two types of created unseen spirit beings in heaven with God, holy angels, and sons of Spirit God.
Spirit God is Eternal. He is without a beginning or end.
Time is a Dimension of Seen Creation. That which is seen is formed by the Spirit realm and exists temporally in time. Even time itself is temporal.
Spirit God Presents Himself to All Existence as Spirit Father and Spirit Son and The Holy Spirit.
God’s purpose in the three manifestations is to provide all that is needed by mankind and natural creation to produce many mature sons of God to manage or govern in His Kingdom on earth.
God presented as FATHER is the creator and sustainer of all that exists. As Father, He has all power and all wisdom to strengthen mankind to rule and reign, and all love to bring perfect order in this world.
God presented as the SON is Savior, LORD, and King, that became the “son of man” to pay the price for all sin on the cross and to be resurrected to redeem and restore mankind to mature sons of God, to be the way the truth and the life, to take away the sin of the world, to redeem and restore the world to as it is in heaven, and to fully establish The Kingdom of God on earth
God presented as The Holy Spirit to be a courier or carrier to transport into the spirit of man all that Father and Son have provided for mankind, to help and comfort us by bringing the love, empowerment, wisdom, courage, righteousness, peace, joy and everything of Father God and Son Christ Jesus into our lives.
The End of the Age
That which is in this season referred to as the “end times” is the season of the end of an age and the beginning of another.
For the past two millennia God has been building back, piece by piece into His people on earth, all that Christ Jesus the Son of God brought back to earth from heaven 2000 years ago.
As God progressively has continued to build into His people the restored truth that Jesus taught, it seems to us to be fresh revelation. However, it is restored truth that moves everything further toward becoming on earth as it is in heaven.
The change of the ages from the old to the new requires moving from some of that, which has been built into us, to be changed.
It is sometimes easier for a new convert to receive what God is doing now than it is for a well-trained Bible scholar. There is not nearly as much to lay down.
In my own personal experience, God progressively poured fresh revelation of truth into me, truth that has always been there in the word but hidden.
As the reality of The Kingdom of God from the word was opened to me and began to be manifested in me, it destroyed some of the things that I had been taught and believed.
This happened so often that I came to a place where I began to realize that I did not know how much of that which I had believed was really truth.
I went to God and laid down all that I believed and asked God to give me back only that which was truth.
Almost immediately some things were returned to me and some came back a little later modified.
However, some of that which I had believed never came back. My heart and mind were freed to receive like a new convert without going through religious debate in my mind.
Major Changes in Some Beliefs
One of the major differences is that the restored truth speaks to our hearts as being REAL. It is no longer our learning about God, but about personally loving God and personally experiencing His love for us and in us.
It is totally real in our lives today to experience daily God’s life with us and in us. All that we are and all that we do are affected by the love and empowerment of God in us.
Another major change as we enter the kingdom age is grasping the reality that all the works of God and Christ Jesus are much more about the kingdom of heaven coming to earth than us going to heaven when we die.
It is about coming to be who God designed us to be as Sons of God (male and female sons) bringing heaven to earth.
It is about the beautiful creation of the world that Father God so loves that He sent His only begotten Son to save and restore it.
The Now Age
In this age NOW, He is bringing many Sons to glory to have dominion through love to destroy all the works of darkness by filling the world with the light and love of The Kingdom of God. (Hebrews 2:10, Romans 8:14).
At or around the year 2000, we entered the third millennium since Christ Jesus proclaimed The Kingdom of God is at hand.
Since the cross, resurrection, ascension, and return in The Holy Spirit at Pentecost, God’s provision for the kingdom on earth is complete.
This is the age of the coming or manifesting of The LORD of Glory in His Kingdom.
The radical changes seem to be sudden. However, they have been in process for two thousand years and are now coming to completion in this early season of this now age.
Evil ungodly things of the past age are already dead and must be dissolved in either corruption over time or rapidly by FIRE. This is the age of the glory fire of the kingdom manifesting on earth.
The King of Glory is coming in the gates and through the doors.
“Lift up your heads, O you gates! And be lifted up, you everlasting doors! And the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, The LORD mighty in battle.
Lift up your heads, O you gates! Lift up, you everlasting doors! And the King of glory shall come in.
Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, He is the King of glory. Selah” Psalm 24:7-10
The glorious Gospel of The Kingdom was lost by the world only two or three centuries after Jesus first proclaimed it.
Christian religions in this passing age have largely replaced The Gospel of The Kingdom with The Gospel of Salvation.
The Gospel of Salvation is the vital and very real first part of The Gospel of The Kingdom, but it is only the beginning. Jesus proclaimed and taught The Gospel of The Kingdom in much detail.
There is much more to be said on the reality of The Kingdom of God now in us and coming forth on earth in these early days of this now age of The Kingdom of God.
Be made whole in His love,

I would say there is not going to be a rapture as most of the religious world has been taught. So, much of the church must unlearn a lot which man has taught without being led by the Spirit. Very few churches are really teaching the greatest mystery among most of the body of Christ today which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. Most cannot fathom that God desires for us to become Christ. Not Jesus, but the Father desires for us to come into perfect unity with Him. This is how the knowledge of the glory of God will cover the earth as the waters cover the sea.
Whew! A “word” Tend to agree w/you on rapture. And when the glory manifests in us as we began to look like Christ, act like Christ, talk like Christ, do supernatural, and empowering things on the earth like Christ, The Church says; he/she thinks they’re God. WeLLL, we are made in His image and likeness…the Glory!! Let’s go Church!
…”for us to become Christ” as you stated, literally means for us to become anointed. As we know, Christ is not Jesus’ last name. We’re bringing the glooorry to the earth Church!
Thank you so much for this word. You put in words what is in my heard!Very encouraging! Christians in my surrounding often can’t understand what I am experiencing the last couple years. Sometimes even I don’t. Your words will help me so much to explain.
Thanks to the Holy Gost for leading you.

Actually Bro. McGatlin, no reply necessary as requested in previous comment. Your post was clear, concise and confirming w/my thoughts of His Kingdom, and how the church is re-thinking universal teachings, as it relates to His Kingdom unfolding in the earth. Re-reading the post because the message is “weighty” but please continue sharing, the church is ready to hear what the Spirit of the Lord has said, about His Kingdom.
Ron, WHAT LOVELY TRUTH you have taught us today. May it penetrate deeper and deeper as I read and re-read it for more edification and understanding. May God continue to flow through you with clarity and truth for these end times. There is so much misunderstanding of truth as deception floods the airways and byways we are traveling. SO many rely on ‘someone to give a “word” but never open the book of THE WORD and receive it straight from the Father’s heart’..this very thing has been a major concern of mine as a prophetic voice. May I not be a distraction or lead in the wrong direction or cause anyone to rely on anything other than the one who is LORD of all. I am grateful for your obedience and I cherish your wealth of knowledge of the Word as He flows through you. Blessings, Sandi Holman
Stirred…! Also, the church understands Jesus came to redeem not ONLY mankind, but redemption INCLUDES creation! Col. 1:16. If we don’t like the ungodly “systems” whether in our schools, govt., healthcare, financial, wherever, who’s going to fix it? What do we think the parable of the minas and talents are about church? Many are called, but few are chosen. I declare the chosen are arising and every enemy will be scattered…in Jesus name! Let’s go church!
Dear Mr McGatlin
I’ve read many of your posts on HKP site and I’m always blessed by them, but this post so deeply has impacted me and a few friends I shared it with and wanted to thank God for the insight He’s giving you and for your faithfulness to write about it!
My friends and I are experiencing some changes that you talked of here and your article really explains why and has given us hope & joy knowing that we are on the right path even though things seem different in our individual walks with God, your teaching has revealed why the changes have come and it’s for His Kingdom and Glory! Thank you so very much and I pray you are blessed by the Lord to teach more on this as it is so vital to us all !
Love this.thank you.
Ron, I hope you will have more teaching on this article you have written.
This is very enlightening. JRW
Surley, words of an “Open Heaven”! You betta teach His Kingdom! Please share more..Today, I was going to maybe or maybe not read from platforms and then go on about the day w/out shared comments as I’ve done for many many years, howbeit God may cause it to be so. IF – (c)”The kingdoms of this world HAVE become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ,” how does the Rapture / Second Coming work into the Haggai 2:6,7 w/Rev. 11:15,18. Would not a Rapture of the elect and return be a 3rd coming? Prafully, consider reply, as the church takes a Deeper look at His Kingdom, in Spirit reality. Amen.
Thank you for this timely and revealing word. Blessings
