Adoption

[Editor:] “Adoption” is the Greek word huiothesia (SEC #5206), meaning the “placing as a son”, i.e., “sonship,” or “son-placing.” It is “the station in life accorded a son” (A.E. Knoch). It is translated “sonship” in the Concordant, Rotherham, Moffatt and Diaglott (“son-setting” in the Dabhar). For more information on this glorious theme see the book entitled Sonship: A Comprehensive Compilation, Bible Student’s Press (see the form under “Compilations.”)

Kingdom of the Heavens

[ Editor: ] The coming Kingdom Administration begins with the Pre-Millennial (“ the Kingdom of the Heavens, ” including the full Seventy-Sevens of Daniel). God is always absolutely sovereign over the affairs of man. This truth is hidden from the perception of mankind during “ Man’s Day .” But beginning with the “ Day of Christ ” this absolute sovereignty will be made abundantly manifest .  This phase of the prophetic phase will last between 500-700 years, depending on how one approaches the passages. If considering the 700-year period, 33 of these years have already taken place during the Acts period, as “ the blade ” stage the Kingdom (Mark 4:26-29). For more information of the 700-year period see, -           “666 ,” Otis Q.
