Georges de la Tour The Penitent Magdalen (c. 1640)  Oil on canvas, 133.4 x 102.2 cm The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
Highlights from around the web 💫
✨ Georges de La Tour was a French Baroque painter, who spent most of his working life in the Duchy of Lorraine, which was temporarily absorbed into France between 1641 and 1648. He painted mostly religious chiaroscuro scenes lit by candlelight. [1]
✨ With its extreme contrasts of candlelight and shadow, the pure geometry of its forms, and meditative mood, The Penitent Magdalen exemplifies La Tour’s work at its most accomplished and characteristic. La Tour was much indebted to Caravaggesque painting, but tended towards even more simplified forms. The quiet atmosphere of this painting perfectly fits the subject, Mary Magdalen, a witness of Christ who renounced the pleasures of the flesh for a life of penance and contemplation. She is shown with a mirror, symbol of vanity; a skull, emblem of mortality; and a candle that probably stands for her spiritual enlightenment 🕯️ [2]
✨ It was characteristic of La Tour’s creative process to concentrate on a theme and make different renderings of it, often portraying the same subject with significant alterations in design and mood. This painting, also known as the Magdalen with Two Flames, is one of several versions of the subject by La Tour. Others include the Repentant Magdalen (National Gallery of Art, Washington); the Magdalen with a Lamp (Musée du Louvre, Paris); and the Magdalen with the Smoking Flame (Los Angeles County Museum of Art). [3]
✨ Magdalen with the Smoking Flame is the painting in Ariel's grotto she longingly motions toward when she yearns to know about fire while singing "Part of Your World" in Disney's 1989 film The Little Mermaid 🧜‍♀️ [4]

A thought: If reincarnation is real. Is are soulmate the same person (spirit) in each life or does it varies? One might not meet each other in every life but through all time is the love of ones life the same?
The closest thing to an explanation is video games. We get an avatar, we have a mission to accomplish for the goodness of all living creatures (that includes mountains and oceans as well) and we go through obstacles to build our magic (the divine qualities) and complete our mission.
Unlike video games where each player plays alone or in a group but still individualistically, we travel to Earth in groups and we play the game based on the roles we agreed to play beforehand. That said, a child, a parent and a life partner are choices of the soul that the soul decides on before it incarnates.
Sometimes souls choose to go from lifetime to lifetime together. Simetimes the soul with which you chose to experience the magic of all encompacing love is the right one for your level of spiritual growth / vibrations and they could be different from incarnation to incarnation. Now, let me tell you about your true soulmate, your higher self.
Everyone who has gone through a life/death experience and have crossed over even for a minute have met their soulmate. (This is really tricky part and I hope I won't offend people's religions but I'll speak the truth from my own personal experience) Your soulmate is a highly evolved spiritual being. Can you have soul connection to more than one - yes, but usually one has really taken you under their wing and helps you to remember what divine love is.
And let me tell you once you taste that all encompassing love no consumerism, no thrill seeking, no substances will give you pleasure any more. Then you'll start finding that love in hugging trees, looking at the clouds, listening to the rain, touching the sand, the ground, the ocean, feeling One with all creation.
More specifically, Christ talks about this in two ways. The first one is when he speaks about the 10 brides who prepare themselves to go to meet their groom in heaven. 5 had oil for their lamps the other 5 did not. What does that mean?
If you keep your light, your soul alive you will move forward in the evolution. If you do not, (lose your soul in pursuit of the 7 deadly sins) then there's no more evolution for you and no meeting with your SoulMate / HigherSelf.
They are with you all the time by the way even when you are still alive. It's just that their vibrations are much more subtle, gentle, quiet that you may need years of adjustment of your vibrations till you can connect on those frequencies with your soulmate. But boy when you do.
The second way in which Jesus is talking about his own heavenly bride is when he was asked about Mary Magdalene and his relationship with her. He made it clear that his marriage, connection, focus is with Heaven. His attachment is not with Earth. This part I apologize, I may not convey it well.
So, the focus at all time should be to return to The One. You do that by doing good, making people's lives better, helping others and all creatures and creations. You need to remember, always, that you are a child of God, that you came to Mother Earth to grow and will come back to your Heavenly Father.
In short, your soulmate is your Higher self, a highly evolved and wise and transcended being whose mission it is to help you evolve and learn well in Earth school. Few days ago I had this vision that one day we, humans, will start to recognize that rays are beings. They belong to the One but they also have individuation. And if we want to become intergalactic travellers without the use of suits and machines we need to evolve into tramscending our consciousness into becoming rays.
In Earthly explanation - a soulmate is a soul with whom you have agreed to share your life together. Often you choose to incarnate with the same soul. What is more interesting is that sould tend to resemble their past incarnations.
I'd like to share a few things about Mary Magdalene here too. She was an extraordinary woman and she understood the words of Jesus about the strongest of all connections in life - the one with where you came from.
That did not make her less important as a human being, as a princess, as a scholar, as a mother (if all accounts about her life are true). In tarot the King of Cups represents Jesus. They call him (with affection) the Blond one. Mary Magdalene is the 9 of Pentackes. I've always been fascinated about the falcon in her hands. It is a status and even royalty symbol in arab cultures many centuries before it came to Western Europe.
Again, I do not know why I had to share those last parts but if it comes with the download it comes with the download and I'd like to share it. Maybe, I think ( and this is me interpeting what comes through as knowledge) the Mary Magdalene story comes to show that even though the most important connection in your life is with Sourse / with your Higher Self this does not mean that your love with yout significant other is not important or special. I hope I was able to bring some clarity on this topic. Was happy to be with you and share this today.

This time of year Cassiopeia is oriented sideways. Many cultures have interpreted this set of bright stars. The Inuit saw a blubber oil lamp and stand. The Navajo saw a female form, albeit upside down, Biblical scholars - Bathsheba, Mary Magdalene, & so on http://ift.tt/2iMgRKg

12th Nov >> Pope Francis’ Angelus Address: Parable of the Five Wise and Five Foolish Virgins ~ Jesus Exhorts: “Watch, therefore, for You Know Neither the Day nor the Hour” Jim Fair. (Photo ~ Pope Francis at today’s Angelus ~ CTV Screenshot) Pope Francis comments on the Parable of the wise and foolish virgins in his remarks before the Angelus on November 12, 2017, in St. Peter’s Square. He reminded those listening in the square and on television that “we must be ready for our encounter with Him. Jesus often exhorts in the Gospel to watch and He does so also at the end of this story”: “Watch, therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour” (v. 13). “Being wise and prudent: it’s about not waiting for the last moment of our life to collaborate with God’s grace, but to do so already from now on.” The Holy Father said. He recommended that “It would be good to think a bit: one day will be the last. If it were today, how prepared am I?” The Pope stressed that “He tells us that to watch doesn’t mean only not to sleep, but to be ready.” He continued, “The condition to be ready for the encounter with the Lord is not only faith but a Christian life rich in love and charity for our neighbor.” Here is a ZENIT translation of the address Pope Francis gave today before and after praying the midday Angelus with those gathered in St. Peter’s Square. * * * Before the Angelus: Dear Brothers and Sisters, good morning! This Sunday’s Gospel (Cf. Matthew 25:1-13), points out to us the condition to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, and it does so with the parable of the ten virgins: it’s about those bridesmaids who were in charge of receiving and accompanying the bridegroom to the wedding ceremony and, as at that time is was customary to celebrate it at night, the bridesmaids were equipped with lamps. The parable says that five of these virgins were wise and five foolish: the wise, in fact, brought oil with them for the lamps, while the foolish didn’t bring any. The bridegroom was delayed in arriving and they all fell asleep. At midnight the arrival of the bridegroom was announced. Then the foolish virgins realized they had no oil for the lamps, and they asked the wise for some. However, the latter answered that they couldn’t give them any because there wouldn’t be enough for all. So when the foolish went to look for oil, the bridegroom arrived. The wise virgins went in with him to the banquet, and the door was shut. The five foolish ones returned too late. They knocked at the door but the answer was: “I do not know you” (v. 12) and they remained outside. What does Jesus want to teach us with this parable? He reminds us that we must be ready for our encounter with Him. Jesus often exhorts in the Gospel to watch and He does so also at the end of this story: “Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour” (v. 13). However, with this parable, He tells us that to watch doesn’t mean only not to sleep, but to be ready. In fact, all the virgins slept before the bridegroom’s arrival, but when they awakened, some were ready and others not. Here, therefore, is the meaning of being wise and prudent: it’s about not waiting for the last moment of our life to collaborate with God’s grace, but to do so already from now on. It would be good to think a bit: one day will be the last. If it were today, how prepared am I? But I must do this and that … One must be prepared as if it were the last day: this does one good. The lamp is the symbol of faith that illumines our life, while the oil is the symbol of the charity that nourishes, makes fruitful and credible the light of faith. The condition to be ready for the encounter with the Lord is not only faith but a Christian life rich in love and charity for our neighbor. If we let ourselves be guided by what seems to us more comfortable, by the pursuit of our interests, our life becomes sterile, incapable of giving life to others, and we don’t accumulate any oil stock for the lamp of our faith; and the latter — faith — will go out the moment of the Lord’s coming, or even before. If, instead, we are vigilant and we seek to do good, with gestures of love, of sharing, of service to our neighbour in difficulty, we can remain at peace while we await the coming of the bridegroom: the Lord can come at any moment, and even the sleep of death doesn’t scare us, because we have the reserve of oil, accumulated with the good works of every day. Faith inspires charity and charity guards faith. May the Virgin Mary help us to make our faith ever more operative through charity, so that our lamp can shine already here, on the earthly journey and then forever, at the wedding feast in Paradise. [Original text: Italian] [ZENIT’s translation by Virginia M. Forrester] After the Angelus: Dear Brothers and Sisters, Proclaimed Blessed yesterday at Madrid were Vicente Queralt Lloret and 20 companions martyrs, and Jose Maria Fernandez Sanchez and 38 companions martyrs. Some of the new Blesseds were members of the Congregation of the Mission: priests, Brothers, coadjutors, novices; others were laymen belonging to the Association of the Miraculous Medal. All of them were killed out of hatred for the faith, during the religious persecution, which happened in the course of the Spanish Civil War between 1936 and ’37. I greet all of you, families, parishes, Associations and individual faithful, who have come from Italy and from many parts of the world. In particular, I greet the pilgrims from Washington, Philadelphia, Brooklyn and New York; the Saint Mary Magdalene parish choir of Nuragus (Sardinia) <and> the Faithful of Tuscania, Ercolano and Venice; the Bowling Society of Rosta and the Confirmation candidates of Galzignano. I wish you all a good Sunday. Please, don’t forget to pray for me. Have a good lunch and goodbye! © Libreria Editrice Vatican [Original text: Italian] [ZENIT’s translation by Virginia M. Forrester]

Magdalen with the Smoking Flame by Georges de La Tour
Tomorrow is the feast day of Saint Mary Magdalen. She is someone I have always been in awe of having grown up under the shadow of this painting by La Tour, which always held a place of honor in our home (at least, it always stood out to me). It wasn’t just the skull as much as the way she is gazing into the flickering light of the oil lamp and…

Can u tell me about Mary magdeline
She is mysterious, that’s for sure. Who was the woman first experienced the Savior after the resurrection? Who was the woman that first preached the Good News? Surrounding her are legends of demons and oil lamps, but no one can grasp exactly what she is.  
I imagine that she is like a tower. Sturdy and proud, yet tall and beautiful. She has ground herself in the world, yet ascends far beyond our comprehension of the heavens.
She is powerful. She has been called Destroyer of Men and Conquerer of Space. Her power lies in both the spiritual and the physical. She defiantly stood up against the Powers of our world, transcending them. 
Even today, her name is taboo in the Christian world. She has been hidden away, ignored, and forgotten by the Church. She is the madwoman, labeled as a penitent slut and dismissed.  
Though the world never loved her, she herself is a lover. There is a special place in her heart for the women society rejects: the lesbian, the black woman, the sex worker, the trans woman, the fat woman, the mentally ill woman, the disabled woman. She embraces them and hears their cries of pain and shouts of anger. She helps lift them up after they are beaten again and again. 
Mary Magdalene, I believe, exists within us. She is the courage, the strength, and the hope that exists in times of oppression. She is the thought inside ourselves that shouts, “enough is enough!” She is the radical love that we have for ourselves and others. 
The Magdalene is a force like no other, and I’m not sure if my words could ever do her justice.

Kingdom of Heaven
Jesus preached the Good News of repentance and the Kingdom of God. (The Kingdom of God, the Kingdom of Heaven, and the Kingdom of the Son are the same Kingdom). True Christians are already now part of the Kingdom of God. They go to Heaven when they die.
Matt 3:1, 2 [WEB] 1 In those days, John the Baptizer came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea, saying, 2 “Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!”
Matt 4:17 From that time, Jesus began to preach, and to say, “Repent! For the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.”
Matt 4:23 Jesus went about in all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the Good News of the Kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness among the people.
Matt 5:3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
Matt 5:10 Blessed are those who have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
Matt 5:19 Whoever, therefore, shall break one of these least commandments, and teach others to do so, shall be called least in the Kingdom of Heaven; but whoever shall do and teach them shall be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven.
Matt 6:33 But seek first God’s Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.
Matt 7:21 Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
Matt 9:35 Jesus went about all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the Good News of the Kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness among the people.
Matt 10:5-8 5 Jesus sent these twelve out, and commanded them, saying, “Don’t go among the Gentiles, and don’t enter into any city of the Samaritans. 6  Rather, go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7  As you go, preach, saying, ‘The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!’ 8  Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, and cast out demons. Freely you received, so freely give.
Matt 11:11 Most certainly I tell you, among those who are born of women there has not arisen anyone greater than John the Baptizer; yet he who is least in the Kingdom of Heaven is greater than he.
Matt 11:12 From the days of John the Baptizer until now, the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.
Matt 13:19-23 19  When anyone hears the word of the Kingdom, and doesn’t understand it, the evil one comes, and snatches away that which has been sown in his heart. This is what was sown by the roadside. 20  What was sown on the rocky places, this is he who hears the word, and immediately with joy receives it; 21  yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles. 22  What was sown among the thorns, this is he who hears the word, but the cares of this age and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. 23  What was sown on the good ground, this is he who hears the word, and understands it, who most certainly bears fruit, and produces, some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty.”
Matt 13:38-43 38  the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the children of the Kingdom; and the darnel weeds are the children of the evil one. 39  The enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels. 40  As therefore the darnel weeds are gathered up and burned with fire; so will it be at the end of this age. 41  The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will gather out of his Kingdom all things that cause stumbling, and those who do iniquity, 42  and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth. 43  Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
Matt 13:47-50 47  “Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a dragnet, that was cast into the sea, and gathered some fish of every kind, 48  which, when it was filled, they drew up on the beach. They sat down, and gathered the good into containers, but the bad they threw away. 49  So will it be in the end of the world. The angels will come and separate the wicked from among the righteous, 50  and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.”
Matt 13:52 He said to them, “Therefore every scribe who has been made a disciple in the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who is a householder, who brings out of his treasure new and old things.”
Matt 18:3, 4 3 and said, “Most certainly I tell you, unless you turn, and become as little children, you will in no way enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. 4  Whoever therefore humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.
Matt 19:23 Jesus said to his disciples, “Most certainly I say to you, a rich man will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven with difficulty.
Matt 20:16 So the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few are chosen.”
Matt 22:11-14 11  But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who didn’t have on wedding clothing, 12  and he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here not wearing wedding clothing?’ He was speechless. 13  Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and throw him into the outer darkness. That is where the weeping and grinding of teeth will be.’ 14  For many are called, but few chosen.”
Matt 24:14 This Good News of the Kingdom will be preached in the whole world for a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.
Matt 25:1-13 1  “Then the Kingdom of Heaven will be like ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2  Five of them were foolish, and five were wise. 3  Those who were foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them, 4  but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 5  Now while the bridegroom delayed, they all slumbered and slept. 6  But at midnight there was a cry, ‘Behold! The bridegroom is coming! Come out to meet him!’ 7  Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. 8  The foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ 9  But the wise answered, saying, ‘What if there isn’t enough for us and you? You go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’ 10  While they went away to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast, and the door was shut. 11  Afterward the other virgins also came, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us.’ 12  But he answered, ‘Most certainly I tell you, I don’t know you.’ 13  Watch therefore, for you don’t know the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.
Matt 25:34-46 34  Then the King will tell those on his right hand, ‘Come, blessed of my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; 35  for I was hungry, and you gave me food to eat. I was thirsty, and you gave me drink. I was a stranger, and you took me in. 36  I was naked, and you clothed me. I was sick, and you visited me. I was in prison, and you came to me.’ 37  “Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry, and feed you; or thirsty, and give you a drink? 38  When did we see you as a stranger, and take you in; or naked, and clothe you? 39  When did we see you sick, or in prison, and come to you?’ 40  “The King will answer them, ‘Most certainly I tell you, because you did it to one of the least of these my brothers,‡ you did it to me.’ 41  Then he will say also to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels; 42  for I was hungry, and you didn’t give me food to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me no drink; 43  I was a stranger, and you didn’t take me in; naked, and you didn’t clothe me; sick, and in prison, and you didn’t visit me.’ 44  “Then they will also answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and didn’t help you?’ 45  “Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Most certainly I tell you, because you didn’t do it to one of the least of these, you didn’t do it to me.’ 46  These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
Mark 1:14, 15 14 Now after John was taken into custody, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the Good News of God’s Kingdom, 15 and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and God’s Kingdom is at hand! Repent, and believe in the Good News.”
Mark 9:47, 48 47  If your eye causes you to stumble, cast it out. It is better for you to enter into God’s Kingdom with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehenna [or, Hell] of fire
Luke 4:43 But he said to them, “I must preach the good news of God’s Kingdom to the other cities also. For this reason I have been sent.”
Luke 6:20 He lifted up his eyes to his disciples, and said, “Blessed are you who are poor, God’s Kingdom is yours.
Luke 7:28 “For I tell you, among those who are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptizer, yet he who is least in God’s Kingdom is greater than he.”
Luke 8:1-3 1 Soon afterwards, he went about through cities and villages, preaching and bringing the good news of God’s Kingdom. With him were the twelve, 2 and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary who was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out; 3 and Joanna, the wife of Chuzas, Herod’s steward; Susanna; and many others; who served them from their possessions.
Luke 9:1, 2 1 He called the twelve together, and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases. 2 He sent them out to preach God’s Kingdom and to heal the sick.
Luke 9:62 But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for God’s Kingdom.”
Luke 10:9-12 9  Heal the sick who are there, and tell them, ‘God’s Kingdom has come near to you.’ 10  But into whatever city you enter, and they don’t receive you, go out into its streets and say, 11  ‘Even the dust from your city that clings to us, we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that God’s Kingdom has come near to you.’ 12  I tell you, it will be more tolerable in that day for Sodom than for that city.
Luke 12:31 But seek God’s Kingdom, and all these things will be added to you.
Luke 12:32 Don’t be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.
Luke 13:24-30 24  “Strive to enter in by the narrow door, for many, I tell you, will seek to enter in and will not be able. 25  When once the master of the house has risen up, and has shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ then he will answer and tell you, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from.’ 26  Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.’ 27  He will say, ‘I tell you, I don’t know where you come from. Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity.’ 28  There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets in God’s Kingdom, and yourselves being thrown outside. 29  They will come from the east, west, north, and south, and will sit down in God’s Kingdom. 30  Behold, there are some who are last who will be first, and there are some who are first who will be last.”
Luke 16:16 The law and the prophets were until John. From that time the Good News of God’s Kingdom is preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it.
Luke 17:20, 21 20 Being asked by the Pharisees when God’s Kingdom would come, he answered them, “God’s Kingdom doesn’t come with observation; 21  neither will they say, ‘Look, here!’ or, ‘Look, there!’ for behold, God’s Kingdom is within you.”
Luke 18:24 Jesus, seeing that he became very sad, said, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter into God’s Kingdom!
Luke 18:29, 30 29 He said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, there is no one who has left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, for God’s Kingdom’s sake, 30  who will not receive many times more in this time, and in the world to come, eternal life.”
Luke 19:20-27 20  Another came, saying, ‘Lord, behold, your mina, which I kept laid away in a handkerchief, 21  for I feared you, because you are an exacting man. You take up that which you didn’t lay down, and reap that which you didn’t sow.’ 22  “He said to him, ‘Out of your own mouth I will judge you, you wicked servant! You knew that I am an exacting man, taking up that which I didn’t lay down, and reaping that which I didn’t sow. 23  Then why didn’t you deposit my money in the bank, and at my coming, I might have earned interest on it?’ 24  He said to those who stood by, ‘Take the mina away from him and give it to him who has the ten minas.’ 25  “They said to him, ‘Lord, he has ten minas!’ 26  ‘For I tell you that to everyone who has, will more be given; but from him who doesn’t have, even that which he has will be taken away from him. 27  But bring those enemies of mine who didn’t want me to reign over them here, and kill them before me.’ ”
John 3:3 Jesus answered him, “Most certainly, I tell you, unless one is born anew [also means "again" and "from above"], he can’t see God’s Kingdom.”
John 3:5 Jesus answered, “Most certainly I tell you, unless one is born of water and spirit, he can’t enter into God’s Kingdom.
Acts 8:12 But when they believed Philip preaching good news concerning God’s Kingdom and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
Acts 14:21, 22 21 When they had preached the Good News to that city, and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch, 22 strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that through many afflictions we must enter into God’s Kingdom.
Acts 19:5-8 5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 6 When Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them and they spoke with other languages and prophesied. 7 They were about twelve men in all. 8 He entered into the synagogue and spoke boldly for a period of three months, reasoning and persuading about the things concerning God’s Kingdom.
Acts 28:30, 31 30 Paul stayed two whole years in his own rented house and received all who were coming to him, 31 preaching God’s Kingdom, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness, without hindrance.
Rom 14:17 for God’s Kingdom is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
1Cor 6:9, 10 9 Or don’t you know that the unrighteous will not inherit God’s Kingdom? Don’t be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor extortionists, will inherit God’s Kingdom.
1Cor 15:50-53 50 Now I say this, brothers, that flesh and blood can’t inherit God’s Kingdom; neither does the perishable inherit imperishable. 51 Behold, I tell you a mystery. We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we will be changed. 53 For this perishable body must become imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality.
Gal 5:19-23 19 Now the deeds of the flesh are obvious, which are: adultery, sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger, rivalries, divisions, heresies, 21 envy, murders, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these; of which I forewarn you, even as I also forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit God’s Kingdom. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith [or, faithfulness], 23 gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
Eph 5:3-5 3 But sexual immorality, and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be mentioned among you, as becomes saints; 4 nor filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not appropriate, but rather giving of thanks. 5 Know this for sure, that no sexually immoral person, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ and God.
Col 1:12, 13 12 giving thanks to the Father, who made us fit to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light, 13 who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the Kingdom of the Son of his love

2Thess 1:4, 5 4 so that we ourselves boast about you in the assemblies of God for your perseverance and faith in all your persecutions and in the afflictions which you endure. 5 This is an obvious sign of the righteous judgment of God, to the end that you may be counted worthy of God’s Kingdom, for which you also suffer.
Heb 12:28, 29 28 Therefore, receiving a Kingdom that can’t be shaken, let’s have grace, through which we serve God acceptably, with reverence and awe, 29 for our God is a consuming fire.

Rev 12:10, 11 10 I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, “Now the salvation, the power, and the Kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ has come; for the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, who accuses them before our God day and night. 11 They overcame him because of the Lamb’s blood, and because of the word of their testimony. They didn’t love their life, even to death.
