Rightly Dividing: Apostolic Signs, the Kingdom Message, and the Church Age (Ep. 233)

In this episode of our Dispensational Truth series, we explore one of the most misunderstood subjects in Christianity: the difference between the Kingdom of Heaven and the Kingdom of God—and why failing to distinguish them creates massive doctrinal confusion.We examine how Jesus and John the Baptist preached the gospel of the kingdom, calling Israel to national repentance so they could receive their promised earthly kingdom. This helps explain why the Sermon on the Mount, apostolic miracles, and kingdom commands don’t always line up with how believers live today.This lesson also explains why miraculous signs—healings, casting out demons, raising the dead—were never meant to be permanent fixtures of the church age. Instead, they served as divine credentials to authenticate the King and His kingdom offer to Israel. As Israel rejected Christ and the message shifted to the Gentiles, those signs faded—exactly as Scripture records in the book of Acts.We also uncover why these signs will return during the Tribulation, when God resumes His direct dealings with Israel and the gospel of the kingdom is once again preached worldwide.If you’ve ever wondered:Why there are different gospels in ScriptureWhy Jesus preached repentance, not graceWhy modern “signs and wonders” don’t match the BibleWhat it truly means to live by faith in the church age…this episode will give you clarity.This is a powerful, eye-opening study on rightly dividing the Word of Truth and seeing God’s plan unfold exactly as Scripture describes.  Watch LIVE tonight at 7PM CT Rumble.com/JoeRooz YouTube.com/@JoeRooz FOLLOW US ON:X: https://x.com/joeroozFacebook: https://facebook.com/joeroozshowTwitch TV: https://twitch.tv/joeroozInstagram: https://instagram.com/notjoeroozTikTok: https://tiktok.com/joe.roozMinds: https://minds.com/joeroozGETTR: https://gettr.com/joeroozSpecial thanks to:Executive Producer Wayne RankinExecutive Producer Rosanna RankinExecutive Producer Carolina JimenezExecutive Producer Angela WetuskiExecutive Producer John SeeleyWant to be a guest on The Joe Rooz Show?Send Joe a message on #PodMatch: https://www.podmatch.com/member/joeCheck out our partners:Podhome.fmCreative EdgeMusic: https://youtube.com/@pogo️ New to streaming or looking to level up?
