Hi there,
So this is prophecy one-o-one, right? God does not simply arrive in some context, where things are for or against Him in one way or another - rather, God works above and beyond time. God does this so that we may receive the kingdom, but not only that, that we receive the kingdom throughout time. In other words the will of God always has a currency, whether we look back to the past, into the present or beyond to the future. God's messengers affirm this.
How far back or how far in or how far forward, God can test us on, because He has given His Son, by which all time can be unlocked. We can for example, reach Heaven, look back and correct all of the things we did wrong - in the light of the time God continues to have given us. On the other hand, we can look into the moment, and get ready for anything that will happen in the future. Or again we can look beyond our current circumstance and see what is to come, whether we do good or bad or that we excel. This is God's power! He defines us without foreclosing on us, what time we are bound to, but rather forever opens it up for us, that we may explore it.
We can for example, see what is coming and prepare for those things that will tempt us, if we persevere to that particular prophecy we see coming, because we look to the future. In so doing we prepare to keep the kingdom, not through sacrifice, as would be of the past, not by reckoning, as the present used to be, but by mercy, as the future reveals itself, again and again. For who can take the future, from a merciful man? In this we realise the truth behind the statement Jesus quoted "I desire mercy, not sacrifice" that is "I desire to live in the future, not in the past". So there is power in this, that our enemies can see the choices we are making beforehand.
The mastery of this is that Time is completely in God's hand, He knows every prediction we will make, every prophecy we try to live by. God is not tempted to change time, but instead enhances it. This is so, that we learn of God, in the time we have and in the way that we have it. This is simple. We just need to abide in God, for a moment in time, and He will reveal Himself throughout time: we will be able to see, from one moment, how all other moments are connected! Let us be chaste and humble, and not proud from measure or beyond it or beyond and without it (as some dare themselves to be). Let us lay hold of the moment, in God and possess our souls by our patience. In this all things will be manifest to us, good and bad, but also better, as the light increases, in us, as we were, and continued to be for His Faith's sake.
We will receive the kingdom, it is God's good pleasure, not just for a moment but throughout time.
