The Gospel Of John Contains Doctrine Addressed To The Church Age And The Kingdom Of God, Very Different From What’s Found In Matthew, Mark Or Luke By for Now The End Begins
When we rightly divide the 4 gospels, we see that Matthew, Mark and Luke walk together in virtual lockstep, while the gospel of John takes a markedly different path. In the first three, we read all about events related to the time of Jacob’s trouble and the great Tribulation in Matthew 24, the ministry of the 144,000 in Mark 16:15-18, the armies of Antichrist overtaking Jerusalem in Luke 21:20-24, and even get to see the constitution of the Millennial Reign of King Jesus in Matthew 5:1-12. But the gospel of John doesn’t mention any of those things. Why not?
The Holy Spirit who wrote the Bible foresaw the execution of Stephen in Acts 7:54-60, and wrote John’s gospel is such a way that it could apply to the Jews and Israel if they did the right thing, and it could also be broken off and given to the Church Age if they did not.
From time to time, I will see Christians posting about the gospel of John, and attempting to make the case that John’s gospel was written to the Jews as doctrine, and if so, that would mean that no one in the Church Age would be born again or have eternal security. How can that be, is such a thing even possible? No, it’s not, and a quick comparing of scripture with scripture with a little rightly dividing thrown in will clear things up rather quickly.

“Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.” John 3:5 (KJB)

In the first three, we read all about events related to the time of Jacob’s trouble and the great Tribulation in Matthew 24:3-41, the ministry of the 144,000 in Mark 16:15-18, the armies of Antichrist overtaking Jerusalem in Luke 21:20-24, and even get to see the constitution of the Millennial Reign of King Jesus in Matthew 5:1-12.

It’s because the Holy Spirit who wrote the Bible foresaw the execution of Stephen in Acts 7:54-60, and wrote John’s gospel is such a way that it could apply to the Jews and Israel if they did the right thing, and it could also be broken off and given to the Church Age if they did not. Either way there would be zero contradiction and perfect scriptural harmony. So with that, let me give you just a few examples of how the gospel of John and the gospel of Paul, the apostle for the Church Age, are in complete harmony!
