For two thousand years, the Church has been preaching the Gospel: God is Love, the Kingdom of God has come, the Holy Spirit has already been poured out on all flesh, it remains only to enter this Kingdom of Humble Love, to accept the Holy Spirit! Today there are billions of baptized people in the world, but almost no one believes in this Gospel.
“Christians” have replaced the Truth, the Word of God with “the traditions of the elders” and, like the Jews, are waiting for the second coming of Christ, the coming of the Kingdom of Bliss and eternal peace. The Kingdom of God has already come (what other kingdom are you waiting for—the kingdom of the antichrist?!), Christ has already come (what messiah are you still waiting for—the antichrist?!). But “Christians,” “Orthodox” say: we now see the triumph of evil, wars, catastrophes, troubles, rivers of blood and tears in the world… so the Kingdom of God has not yet come! And they do not understand, poor souls, that the Kingdom of God (the Kingdom of the Cross of Humble Love) is not of this world, it is absolutely not what people of this age dream about (“Orthodox,” “Christians”). Just as the Jews once, who followed Christ by the thousands (including the disciples), dreamed of a carnal kingdom of comfortable European life, with plenty of bread and spectacles, in the glory of domination over other nations, so too the current “circumcised-baptized,” “Orthodox” dream of “The Glory of Sodom and Gomorrah,” of “The Glory of the nation and death to the enemies.” Therefore, the “Orthodox,” being convinced that they are sighted, are sure that the Kingdom of God has not yet come, they do not see and feel it yet: teachers still do not have a salary of four thousand dollars, and the final death of enemies has not yet come… And Christ has not yet come for the second time to judge the living and the dead, to fully repay the northern Mordor—enemies of Sodom and Gomorrah—for all its atrocities and glorify those Sodomites, “innocent” victims of aggression (“Orthodox” pagans-idolaters), who chose the antichrist as king… That is why the “Orthodox” call the Gospel of the Kingdom of God, which has already come, madness, heresy, obvious nonsense…—Well, we see that the Kingdom has not yet come (we are not yet reigning, not yet blissful), and Christ is not yet visible—when He (comes again), it will be known to everyone… And some “madmen” (Christians), who do not see the obvious (blood, tears, sufferings, deaths…), claim-preach that everything is already “finished” (see John 19:30).
We dedicated an entire book to the testimony of the Gospel that the Kingdom of God has already come, where we testified about it in detail, proving in various ways the truth of this Gospel (see part II: “Repent! Believe in the Gospel—the Kingdom of God has come!”). But this Gospel is heresy for the “Orthodox” (e.g., the OCU) (see part III)! The Church in the Holy Spirit does not cease to testify-preach that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, came to us (became incarnate, became Man, became “God with us”) forever!!! The Lord did not come to us to stay with us for a short time (33 years) and then leave us (orphans) for millennia (until the “second coming”)! Can the One who loves someone (a person) divinely, and having long searched after a great separation-loss, and finally found, leave, part again, leave?! When the Lord told the apostles that “it is better for you that I go (ascend, be exalted on the Cross), because if I do not go (then we will not be one in the Holy Spirit—see John 17:21-23), the Holy Spirit will not come to you (I will not exalt you to the (knowledge of the) Father)” (see John 16:7). The Lord came to return us to the Father’s house, to the Kingdom of God, to deify us in Himself. “I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you. Yet a little while, and the world will see Me no more; but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also (abiding in Me by the Holy Spirit and I in you). At that day (when you are baptized with the Holy Spirit) you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you” (see John 14:18-20). The Lord came not to leave but “left” to be in us forever in the Holy Spirit: “I am with you always, even to the end of the age” (see Matt. 28:20). What “second coming” can there be for those who live in Christ (“I no longer live, but Christ lives in me”—Gal. 2:20), what final judgment can there be for those who are in eternal joy (“nothing and no one can separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus, our Lord”—see Rom. 8:39), and have already passed from death to Life (see John 5:24). However, for now, the testimony of Christians is not accepted by the “Orthodox,” “Christians,” it is heresy to them; just as the leaders, theologians of the Jewish religion once called Jesus Christ a heretic, demon-possessed, madman, and ultimately crucified Him, thinking they were serving God. Some Jews (Jews) are waiting for the first coming of Christ (the Messiah), and other Jews (“Christians,” “Orthodox”) are waiting for the second coming of Christ. But Christ has long come (to the amazement of the Jewish Jews), and did not go anywhere (only briefly ascended the Cross and descended into hell to fill everything with Himself, resurrect everyone, deify everyone, give the Holy Spirit to everyone, and become as close as possible to us, to unite with us in hypostatic unity-perichoresis), and remains with us (and already in Christians) forever (to the amazement of the “Christian” Jews)!
