THE SYNONYMOUS KOG/KOH

Mat 16:19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. (Matt. 18:15 – 18)

Col 1:13 . . . Who hath . . . TRANSLATED us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

All authority to the synonymous present KOG/KOH belongs to the local church, for He left this house (church) and gave it authority and the Holy Spirit Porter watches. Below are some facts in regard to the KOH/KOG, which is at this time a present spiritual entity, which will culminate in a physical KINGDOM in the future. For all practical Purposes, the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Heaven are synonymous kingdoms with the only difference possibly being esthetic applications. The first phase of the KOG/KOH is the spiritual kingdom that born again Christians are translated into and cannot be seen with the physical eyes. The second stage is the physical millennial Kingdom.
