Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet
Col. 1 ... Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: 13Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: 14In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
Translated means to be changed.
God just changed us. And after we were changed we sought things of God. It wasn't that we changed by our efforts, by reading Bible or going to church. The change occurred and then we sought things of God. This is what it means to be translated into the kingdom. This is also what it means to be born again.
We are not born again by our own will. There is an elect of God. We know this by the following:
Romans 9 ... For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel: 7Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. 8That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed. 9For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sara shall have a son. 10And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac; 11(For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;) 12 It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger. 13As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
14What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid. 15For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. 16So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy. 17For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth. 18Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth.
If you have had this experience of sudden or real change, then you were probably "translated" in to the kingdom by God and not by anything you did. It was just by the will of God.
At the end of our lives on this earth a similar change will occur. There will be another translation by God where we shed these earthly bodies and take on heavenly bodies.
Paul explains:
I Cor. 15 ... Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep (die), but we shall all be changed, 52In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
It will be a very fast change. "In the twinkling of an eye" ... If you blink your eyes, it will be that fast. And then we will be taken off this present earth.
I Thess. 4 ... But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep (concerning those who have died), that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 15For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent (precede) them which are asleep. 16For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
But those who are alive on this earth at the coming of Jesus will be changed before being removed according to I Cor. 15:51-52. We will not have these current bodies. We will shed these bodies and be translated (changed) into another body. (Read I Cor. 15)
