The preaching of the arrival of the Kingdom of God came with miracles of healing the sick and casting out demons. This was more than compassion for the hurting; it was saying that the promised future had arrived in the present manifested by these miracles. He still heals, but our present healing is not final. It will be final when the Kingdom of God comes in its fullness, in the Great Resurrection when He makes all things new. In that day there will be no more sickness, pain, death nor sorrow. Thy Kingdom come! Even so, quickly come Lord Jesus!
“And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, ‘Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.’ Then He who sat on the throne said, ‘Behold, I make all things new.’ And He said to me, ‘Write, for these words are true and faithful.’” Revelation 21:3-5 (NKJV)
