reckoning, "today, tomorrow, and the third day." Also corrected the
number of references to "the third day."
April 10, 2009 - Revised the navigation, and put each article (and
each part of the Introduction section) on its own page, rather than
having all the articles of a section on one page. The navigation buttons
across the top now point to the "Overview" page of each section,
while the ones on the side point to the articles in that section. The section
title/graphic on each page is also a link to the Overview of that section.
Each section's Overview has been revised and expanded, so that the casual
reader can get a good overall understanding, while the main articles provide
more in-depth coverage of the main topics.

section, and completely revised the Kingdom Come section. It now flows
better and presents the New Testament meaning of the Kingdom of God in a more
orderly fashion.

of Kingdom of God/Heaven; a Guestbook; and an "Acknowledgements"
section added to "About The Author." Some graphic changes were made
as well, including a redesigned header, new buttons, a counter, and
corrections of the alignments on all the pages.

article, "Who is Messiah?" Also added several paragraphs and more
Scripture references.
November 5, 2008 - Moved link to my blog to the "About the
Author" section, so as to not have the focus on "me". Also
moved the link to "What's New" on the index page to a more
prominent spot.
May
25, 2008 - After
being down since my hosting agreement expired in January, the site has been
relaunched as Godskingdomfirst.ORG (instead of .NET). The .net domain name
was only renewable if I continued to be hosted by the same provider, but I
found one that hosts for free. I only needed to register a new domain name,
hence the change.
I made some changes to the layout and some of the content as well. The
biggest change in content is a reworking and reorganizing of the Future
Events page. The biggest layout change is the new Home or Index
page, which has a site overview that includes graphics, making for a more
attractive welcome. The rest of the stuff that used to be on the Home
page is now on a separate page, called Introduction.
