Having once again been reminded of the old, and probably Talmudic statement, "If you do not prepare your food for the Sabbath on the day before, what will you eat on the Sabbath?"
It is, of course, a reference to targeting the Kingdom of G-d now, so that we might have our affairs in order when we come to be with Yehoshua.
While the Kingdom is somewhat described throughout the Scriptures, what are you doing to prepare for those days, and what do you expect to find when you get there, whether as a result of your preparations, or as stated in Scripture as the Gift of G-d. What do you think it will be like, and what do you want to be doing there...in what ways do you want to serve Yehoshua.

Wow! You just ask the easiest questions ... 
What am I doing to prepare? That has two sides to that page: first is I am sold out 100% a proselyte to MJ. It is the truth, and if we aren't looking for the truth then we're planning to lie to God to get in. The second side is still part and parcel of the page- I'm looking at the prophecies He wants me to know, those of the feasts, which I keep the best I can, and understand as best I can figure. That way when the dragon sweeps the 1/3rd of the stars, which are saints, from the skies (meaning those perplexed about not being raptured probably) I shouldn't be one of them.
How do I want to serve Him in the Olam Haba? Heck fire, I'll do anything 'cause I'll be just so happy to be there!

 , or the keeping Faith with Yehoshua should not be all that we do...we should visualize what the Scriptures say about the Kingdom, and start visualizing how it might be done, and then share that vision with other that have no idea of what being with Yehoshua might be like. |

As long as focus on putting YHVH first in all that you do by following what the states, and applying what the Brit Chadashah teaches in how to put YHVH first, the next part is the fun part, the dreaming part, and the asking part!
Have you never thought of what the Kingdom will be like? Do you know what kind of job in the administration of the Kingdom you want to work in...that would be enjoyable but a challenge? Or talked to Abba, just like you were a kid, and it was story telling time, and you were telling Abba about how you wanted to fly dragons, or something? Don't you have a dream for the future that will last for eternity...an eternity that Abba wants us to grow and learn in, and yet enjoy to the full?
When I look at my mountain view across the valley from my house, and am just delighting in what I have now, and telling Adonai so, I also tell Him how I would like a similar spot to throw the odd bar-b-que for my friends at, and to have my own private garn place, where I can be quiet and study, and maybe just a small closet in Jerusalem for when I am on duty there, and so forth.
How do you not envision what the world under Yehoshua will be like? It's like making no plans for what you want to learn, what new hobbies you might want to develop, now that we'll have youth, and energy, and time as well as the knowledge to run our lives properly? Certainly I live in today, and plan a bit for tomorrow, in a practical sense...why would I not do so for the Kingdom?
And why don't you? Yehoshua will be opening up His inheritance to us...why do you not want to ask Him how he is going to run the planet? |

Dan C  I want to be the technician who checks on all those galaxies, tunes them up and zips at Godspead (He'll loan me a BAD galaxy bike, no doubt) on to the next , shouting "To infinity AND BEYOND!!!" I'll stay at the Starlight Inn when on the road. In Yerushala'yim I'll stay in the barracks; or maybe BOQ (Bachelor Officers Quarters) while I submit my reports. Then onward, upward, outward again, "To infinity AND BEYOND!!!"
Well, there'll be a lot less butt-heads! That'll be nice!
Because then I'd be tempted to give my advice and probably ruin things.
Seriously though, I think God was right when He said "But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him." 1Co 2:9. I really just cannot imagine what it'll be like. I'm still trying to wrap my mind around being HAPPY all the time! That alone scares me to death, and I'm not kidding. When you are almost never happy, it's scary to think about just being JOYFUL! So I let Yeshua worry about all that. He'll do it right, I have no doubt!

I like your "to Infinity and Beyond" adventuresomeness, but not understanding what being happy all the time being not in your imagination...oh, my!
All you have to do is look back to how you felt when you first got engaged, and started dreaming about the life you would have together. And then, just think about the plans you made, and mix it with the way you felt when you kissed your fiancée. And then the absolutely splendiferous way you felt when you first understood being loved by Abba, and by Yehoshua, and how blown away you were that they would have arranged the cruxifiction just for you, if it were necessary. Add in how grateful you were when your first child was born, and both your wife and child were alive, and the sheer delight you had when you rode your first horse...or your first motorcycle! The freedom of owning your first car, and being permitted to drive to the football games with your friends.
Add in the glory of the first concert you went to, and add in the thrill of the angels singing, every now and then for that added boost of delight, and then take a bite of your favourite dessert while you sit back in a chair and close your eyes to watch in your mind what is happening in the Temple, and just who is showing up at the King's court, and watch David, and Shlomo chatting off to one side with Moshe, and listen in on their conversation because it's not impolite to hear an open discussion, even from far away! Add in all you want to learn and be, and the excitement of being able to learn it and do it, and never get tired, and not to hurt again, and perhaps even to still take a nice nap in the shade, not because you need to, but because it's fun to take time out to dream in several dimensions at one time. To have everything you need and ever wanted, and to not actually need them, but to enjoy them anyway...all wrapped together in music you can taste, and flavors you can feel, and colors that move with you as you walk, swirling and spinning around you, and finding out that that is the shape and substance of your inner being being demonstrated for everyone to enjoy....
Abba seems to get a kick out of the ideas I have, especially because I keep telling Him I know He knows what I want and need better than I do myself, yet He lets me know He still wants to hear my desires, and my ideas, and then He asks, "well, and what about this?" and gives me even more ideas.
Poor Alon, to not know what it would be like to be happy, or just to feel the pleasure and embarrassment when Yehoshua looks directly at you, meets your eyes, and smiles, because He knows you...that He's always known you?
You need to practice your dreams a little, and talk about them to Abba. Happiness can be practiced, and enjoyed now, my brother.
To me it's part of preparing for the Kingdom, and imagining myself already there.
