Great thank you!
I too believe it will be the return of Christ within us (in Spirit) not on a cloud. It will, and is, in Spirit. Then I am already, as others, seeking Him in spirit. Flesh, well, for the lack of a better word, useless. One will realize this once the fellowship with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit awakens within you.
People trust in the knowledge of flesh. We follow it blindly, with deafness. Only if we open our spiritual eyes and ears, we will see and hear beyond. It is much to take, and to grow in faith takes much patience. True spiritual wisdom lies within Christ.

The Body of Christ I speak from is similar yet the exact opposite of the so called secret Society New-World-Order many are aware of. Infact there is far more concsious awaress of them than the order I am from.
I am a sealed Brother from the 1st Heaven, member of the Body of Christ anointed by a living Apostle, sent to teach the hidden mysteries of word of God and his Kingdom.
ESV
Paul's Sufferings as an Apostle
16 I repeat, let no one think me foolish. But even if you do, accept me as a fool, so that I too may boast a little. 17 What I am saying with this boastful confidence, I say not as the Lord would[a] but as a fool. 18 Since many boast according to the flesh, I too will boast. 19 For you gladly bear with fools, being wise yourselves! 20 For you bear it if someone makes slaves of you, or devours you, or takes advantage of you, or puts on airs, or strikes you in the face. 21 To my shame, I must say, we were too weak for that!
But whatever anyone else dares to boast of—I am speaking as a fool—I also dare to boast of that. 22 Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they offspring of Abraham? So am I. 23 Are they servants of Christ? I am a better one—I am talking like a madman—with far greater labors, far more imprisonments, with countless beatings, and often near death. 24 Five times I received at the hands of the Jews the forty lashes less one. 25 Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned. Three times I was shipwrecked; a night and a day I was adrift at sea; 26 on frequent journeys, in danger from rivers, danger from robbers, danger from my own people, danger from Gentiles, danger in the city, danger in the wilderness, danger at sea, danger from false brothers; 27 in toil and hardship, through many a sleepless night, in hunger and thirst, often without food, in cold and exposure. 28 And, apart from other things, there is the daily pressure on me of my anxiety for all the churches. 29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is made to fall, and I am not indignant?

What is the purpose of keeping your society a secret?
Even if I told you the name of my Faith, you will find only a small write-up that isn't even accurate on the net.

I'm willing to accept the name and your own write-up of it.
You've taken words out of context to use in your own context against me. Read these stories even literally are nothing to do with what we talk about here.
That's why Apsotle Paul said "the letter killeth."

Careful, when we begin to label another it is a sign of fear.
Many live in fear and that's understandable, they don't have God in their lives because they think he is one day to come, he's says he's a God of the living not the dead. And that is the Anti-Christ in 1John4.
Where two or more are gathered in his name, he's said he's there right? Imagine if you were sick and I said the doctor will come one day, you'd probably be saying "No way! I need him right now!" Anyone who confesses that God is comming back one day can not help you anymore than a doctor who isn't there today to fix you.

I didn't take the words out of context. It's true that the Pharisees were preaching false doctrines based on their "visions" that they were receiving from other spirits about how to interpret doctrine.
That's why Apsotle Paul said "the letter killeth."
When Paul said the letter killeth, he was talking about the Mosaic Laws. The Jews thought that following the Mosaic Laws were enough to save them, when it wasn't. Eternal life is through the Spirit. The Bible explains this, that's why we have it.
It is part of the rules of our order not to video or tape any of our services or church events. Even if I told you the name of my Faith, you will find only a small write-up that isn't even accurate on the net.

No one is questioning that the Holy Spirit is here, but the Bible makes it clear that is only temporary until God sets up a new kingdom, in which God will live with man on a heaven/earth that doesn't even come close to resembling this one. We will be given heavenily bodies that won't decay, age or die. When the Bible says that we have to shed the corruptible flesh in order to inherit the incorruptible (heavenly) body, it was literal. The Bible tells us we will not die, grow old, get sick or experience pain and sorrow. The new heaven/earth will not need the sun or the moon, or even the seas and oceans.

You should be upfront and honest about it anyway. What is the name of your faith?
Was it inspired by the International House of Prayer?
Luke 17v 20
The Kingdom of god does not come with observation, not in the sky not in space, but it's within you so seek it. When you find that place in your life that you desire for God's way to be first not yours, then you have found the Kingdom for the Kingdom is where his will is done. As it is written in our Lord's Prayer "Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, IN Earth as it is it in Heaven; as it is Lord your thinking, so shall it become our thinking." Ask yourselves what king is ruling your castle because there can only be one.

My understanding of eternal life is that some time after my physical death, I will be resurrected into an incorruptible body in order to live for eternity with God/Jesus on a new heaven/earth.
As for your questions regarding these verses...
1 John 5:7-8
7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.
I believe these two verses represent the verse that tells us that things in the current heaven are mirrored on earth. There is currently a war in heaven, just like there is on earth. Humans have free will on earth, just like angels are given free will in heaven. A day will come when it will all be reconciled together and there will be no more free will, just God's will. But it won't happen on THIS earth.
I believe in the Trinity of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit and I believe that Jesus IS that Holy Spirit. Jesus spilled his blood physically on earth in order to reconcile earthly flesh with His Spirit and also to cleanse us for what's to come. We would never be worthy to live with God without Jesus first having cleansed us through his blood. Water represents baptism and our rebirth through the Holy Spirit.
The Worlds, which you can't with literal understanding, how can you claim understand the spiritual word of God.
