"The most momentous event of earth’s history is the establishment of God’s Kingdom among men, in the hands of our Lord Jesus and his selected joint-heirs, the overcomers of the Gospel Church.  God’s panacea for the sin and misery and dying of the groaning creation is this Kingdom. . .All who trust implicitly for the fulfillment of the prayer our Lord himself taught us to offer - ’Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is done in heaven’—must feel the liveliest interest in the fulfilment of their request-- if they prayed from the heart." Thy Kingdom Come, p. 19

God's Kingdom

Read online excerpt (Chapter 14) from The Divine Plan of the Ages: "The Kingdom of God"

Bible Question: Animals, pets in heaven? Jesus comes from heaven riding on a white horse, which I am sure doesn’t have a soul, why can’t there be any other animals in heaven? Baby’s have souls but are unable to voluntarily receive the gift of salvation and yet, if die, will go to heaven, why not animals?

Many are not aware that the Bible teaches two salvation’s. In brief, Christians are called to follow in Jesus’ footsteps by sacrificing their earthly aims, wills and ambitions and all future earthly rights and resurrection hope, that they might gain a greater, higher reward. The Scriptures teach if we give up all to follow Jesus, and we do so faithfully unto death, we are promised a spiritual reward. That is, to be resurrected with a spirit body like Jesus was resurrected with. That reward also includes being associated with Jesus in his Kingdom Reign when he and his bride, The Church shall bless all the nations of the earth with all truth and peace and love. Revelation 20:4,6
The second salvation applies to everyone else that has ever lived all the back to and including Adam. They shall be resurrected back to the earth to receive the blessings God has always intended for them through the Christ, Jesus and the Church. Isaiah 35:5-10
This will be the answer to the prayer so oft prayed "Thy Kingdom come, on earth as it is in heaven" Matthew 6:10
Not understanding these two salvation’s taught by the Scriptures has been a great source of confusion for almost all of Christianity. Those who realize it can be the only answer to harmonizing the word of God and study it out for themselves find this Truth to be a great door to understanding many other truths intended only for those God has desired to call.
The "Divine Plan of the Ages" Volume One of "Studies In The Scriptures" proves these truths from ones own Bible in a topical study outline. It’s available on our website or you can read it on line.

As for animals, there are many Scriptures telling of animals in the kingdom on earth. They are not spirit beings in the Spiritual Kingdom but grace the earth in God’s earthly Kingdom.
Will pets from the past be brought back to life? The Scriptures do not say, and there is no promise of any animal resurrection shown.
