141:1.3 [[Jesus]] did no [[public]] [[preaching]]. [[Andrew, the Apostle|Andrew]] divided the multitude and assigned the [[preachers]] for the forenoon and afternoon assemblies; after the evening meal [[Jesus]] talked with [[the twelve]]. He taught them nothing new but reviewed his former teaching and answered their many questions. On one of these evenings he told [[the twelve]] something about the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_136#136:3._THE_FORTY_DAYS forty days] which he spent in the hills near this place.

141:1.4 Many of those who came from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perea Perea] and [[Judea]] had been [[baptized]] by [[John the Baptist|John]] and were interested in finding out more about [[Jesus]]' teachings. The [[apostles]] made much [[progress]] in teaching the [[disciples]] of [[John the Baptist|John]] inasmuch as they did not in any way detract from John's [[preaching]], and since they did not at this time even [[baptize]] their new [[disciples]]. But it was always a stumbling stone to John's followers that [[Jesus]], if he were all that John had announced, did nothing to get him out of [[prison]]. [[John the Baptist|John]]'s [[disciples]] never could [[understand]] why [[Jesus]] did not prevent the cruel [[death]] of their beloved [[leader]].

141:1.5 From night to night [[Andrew, the Apostle|Andrew]] carefully instructed his fellow [[apostles]] in the delicate and [[difficult]] task of getting along smoothly with the followers of [[John the Baptist]]. During this first year of [[Jesus]]' [[public]] ministry more than three fourths of his followers had previously followed John and had received his [[baptism]]. This entire year of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/27_AD A.D. 27] was spent in quietly taking over John's [[work]] in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perea_(Holy_Land) Perea] and [[Judea]].

I [[declare]] that the [[kingdom of heaven]] is the [[realization]] and acknowledgment of [[God]]'s rule within the [[hearts]] of men. True, there is a [[King]] in this kingdom, and that King is [[Universal Father|my Father]] and your Father. We are indeed his [[loyal]] subjects, but far [[transcending]] that [[fact]] is the [[transforming]] [[truth]] that we are his sons. In my life this [[truth]] is to become [[manifest]] to all. [[Our Father]] also sits upon a [[throne]], but not one made with hands. The [[throne]] of the [[Infinite]] is the [[eternal]] dwelling place of [[the Father]] in the [[Universe of universes|heaven of heavens]]; he fills [[all things]] and [[proclaims]] his [[laws]] to [[Grand Universe|universes upon universes]].

141:2.2 " When you are the subjects of [[Paper 170 - The Kingdom of Heaven|this kingdom]], you indeed are made to [[hear]] the [[law]] of the Universe Ruler; but when, because of the [[gospel]] of [[the kingdom]] which I have come to [[declare]], you [[faith]]-[[discover]] yourselves as sons, you henceforth look not upon yourselves as [[law]]-subject [[creatures]] of an all-powerful [[king]] but as [[privileged]] sons of a loving and [[divine]] [[Father]]. Verily, verily, I say to you, when [[the Father]]'s will is your [[law]], you are hardly in [[the kingdom]]. But when [[the Father]]'s will becomes truly your will, then are you in very [[truth]] in [[the kingdom]] because the kingdom has thereby become an [[established]] [[experience]] in you. When [[God]]'s will is your [[law]], you are [[noble]] [[slave]] subjects; but when you [[believe]] in this new [[gospel]] of [[divine]] sonship, my Father's will becomes your will, and you are elevated to the high position of the [[free]] [[children]] of [[God]], liberated sons of [[the kingdom]].
