141:2.1 The night before they left [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pella Pella], [[Jesus]] gave [[the apostles]] some further instruction with regard to the new[[The kingdom|kingdom]]. Said [[the Master]]: " You have been taught to look for the coming of [[the kingdom]] of [[God]], and now I come [[announcing]] that this long-looked-for kingdom is near at hand, even that it is already here and in our midst. In every kingdom there must be a [[king]] seated upon his throne and [[decree]]ing the [[laws]] of the realm. And so have you [[developed]] a [[concept]] of [[the kingdom]] of heaven as a glorified rule of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jews Jewish people] over all the peoples of the [[earth]] with [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_Messianism Messiah] sitting on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davidic_line David's throne] and from this place of [[miraculous]] [[power]] promulgating the [[laws]] of all the world. But, my [[children]], you see not with the eye of [[faith]], and you hear not with the [[understanding]] of the [[spirit]]. 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]]. And [[the Father]] also rules within the [[hearts]] of his [[children]] on [[earth]] by [[Thought Adjuster|the spirit]] which he has sent to live within the [[souls]] of [[mortal]] men.
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]]. "
141:2.3 Some of [[the apostles]] grasped something of this teaching, but none of them [[comprehended]] the full significance of this tremendous [[announcement]], unless it was [[James, the Apostle|James Zebedee]]. But these [[words]] sank into their [[hearts]] and came forth to gladden their ministry during later years of [[service]].
