2 Because God is a Spirit Being
…and because of the implications of God being a Spirit, meaning that He is the one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all, (Eph. 4:6) if anyone would worship Him they are going to have to be completely honest and truthful.

3 [Psalm 139:7-11 NIV] 7 Where can I go from your Spirit
[Psalm 139:7-11 NIV] 7 Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? 8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. 9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, 10 even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.

4 Some things are hard to understhand.

6 Modulation The process of varying one or more properties of a periodic waveform, called the carrier signal, with a modulating signal that typically contains information to be transmitted. This article may be too technical for most readers to understand. Please help improve it to make it understandable to non-experts, without removing the technical details.

7 Then Moses went up to God, and the LORD called to him from the mountain Exodus 19:2

8 [Exodus 19:4 NIV] 4 'You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles' wings and brought you to myself.

9 This God from heaven says
[Psalm 115:3 NIV] 3 Our God is in heaven; he does whatever pleases him. This God from heaven says “You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles’ wings and brought you to myself.”

10 [Exodus 19:5b,6a Although the whole earth is mine, 6 you will be for me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.'

11

12 you will be for me a kingdom
What is necessary to have a kingdom? A King Subjects A realm

13 [Exodus 19:17-18 NIV] 17 Then Moses led the people out of the camp to meet with God, and they stood at the foot of the mountain. 18 Mount Sinai was covered with smoke, because the LORD descended on it in fire. The smoke billowed up from it like smoke from a furnace, and the whole mountain trembled violently.

14 What did the Lord do? He came down to the mountain!
If the Lord came down to the mountain, where was He before He came down to the mountain?

15 Considered what Solomon said.
[1Kings 8:27 NIV] 27 "But will God really dwell on earth? The heavens, even the highest heaven, cannot contain you. How much less this temple I have built!” Then what was the temple all about? It was symbolically where you met God

16 The ancient mind did not think of “Heaven” like we do.
Heaven is used in both the Old and New Testament. There is Hebrew or Aramaic word for heaven and a Greek word for heaven. KJV (717) NKJV (708) NLT (913) NIV (620) ESV (691) CSB (577) NASB (639) NET (503) RSV (660) ASV (745) YLT (783) DBY (783) WEB (717) HNV (518)

17 Heaven to the ancient mind
The vaulted expanse of the sky with all things visible in it A. The universe, the world B. The sky, the region where the clouds and storms gather, and where thunder and lightning are produced C. The starry heavens D. The region above, where God dwells and other heavenly beings

18 Without getting into systematic Theology…
God is all present, He is a Spirit and there is no place in heaven and earth where He is not present. Let’s think – If Heaven is all about, the sky extended into the universe, God is, is what is being communicated

19 If God, Calls a people out to of all others to be His Kingdom…
And if God is the God of heaven… Then God’s kingdom is the Kingdom of heaven… If you are in God’s Kingdom you are in the Kingdom of heaven That was not the way they expressed it in the Old Testament

20 But it was by the times we get to NT…
[Matthew 3:1-2 KJV] 1 In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, 2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

21 [Matthew 4:17 KJV] 17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

22 The Kingdom If we are talking about the Kingdom of God, the Kingdom of Christ, the Kingdom of heaven, or just God kingdom… It is those whom God has called to Himself – on eagles wings…Then and now.

23 When we read… [Matthew 5:3 KJV] 3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. [Matthew 5:10 KJV] 10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

24 [Matthew 5:20 KJV] 20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed [the righteousness] of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

25 Where do we now meet God? [1Corinthians 6:19-20 NIV] 19 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.

26 [Exodus 19:5-6 NIV] 5 Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession. Although the whole earth is mine, 6 you will be for me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.' These are the words you are to speak to the Israelites."
