THE KINGDOM OF GOD

Luke 3

21 - "Now when all the people were baptized, Jesus was also baptized, and while He was praying, heaven was opened

22 - and the Holy Spirit descended upon Him in bodily form like a dove, and a voice came out of heaven, "You are My beloved Son, in You I am well-pleased."

Psalm 2

7 - "I will surely tell of the decree of the LORD: He said to Me, "You are My Son, today I have begotten You" - #3205 in Strong's "yalad" "made you apparent".

Mark 9

1 - The Transfiguration - "And Jesus was saying to them - Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the KINGDOM of God after it has come with power"

2 - (and) "six days later, Jesus took with Him Peter and James and John, and brought them up on a high mountain by themselves. And He was transfigured before them

3 - and His garments became radiant and exceedingly white, as no launderer on earth can whiten them....

7 - then a cloud formed, overshadowing them, and a voice came out of the cloud, "This is My beloved Son, listen to Him!" (Margin: "or give constant heed to Him".)

8 - All at once they looked around and saw no one with them anymore - except Jesus alone."

Surely If There is God, He is Perfect..

It seems to me that there is very much the possibility that the 'end' result of all this (human history and all) can only be the best 'end' result possible, because God is Perfect, therefore nothing else is even possible!
