Les Feldick Bible Study

What is the potential fate of someone in the Kingdom who commits a horrendous rebellion against the King?

Death is possible in the Kingdom, though not very likely. If someone commits a horrendous act of rebellion against the King, that is his potential fate: he will be suddenly taken off the scene. This serves as a warning example of Kingdom circumstances.

Les teaches that the account of Ananias and Sapphira is a better example of the circumstances in the Kingdom. They sold a possession, kept back part of the price, and lied to the Holy Ghost. Peter told Ananias that it was in his own power and that he had not lied unto men but unto God. Les explains that death is possible in the Kingdom, not very likely, but if someone commits a horrendous act of rebellion against the King, that is his potential fate: he will be suddenly taken off the scene. These Jewish believers had to understand this.
