why is repentance, salvation , and grace ended? Why must that end for the Kingdom of Heaven? I hope God's Grace never ends because i need it.

I don't know what verse exactly you're referring to, but I would have to think that tense is something that may not easily be interpreted from ancient Greek to modern English. I remember a verse that says, today is the day of salvation. We are now in the period of grace. We can accept God's salvation. When God returns in the last days to judge all men, it will be too late for anyone to repent.
I'm not sure what you're asking specifically. Hope this helps.

No, the time for the Battle is soon to come, within our lifetimes at least. But whether it's time for Gods Kingdom is not know due to Satan being to powerful right now. Rev 13:6 : "And he would be given power over all nations, languages, peoples, and tribes. And he would be given the power to war with and overcome the Saints" (Referring to Satan). Also, The book of Revelations was not a prophecy as most people think, it was actually Gods intentions, his hopes of what will happen. Satan actually has a similar book of what he hopes will happen. But the myth of Ragnarok is probably most accurate(though there the sides reffered to are the Gods of Old and Gods of New), both sides are equally powerful at that point, and the two sides will war. One side may win over the other, neither is ensured to win.

No the period of grace and salvation is still here. The Kingdom of God was when Christ arrived. Go to ttb.org. Dr. J.Vernon McGee is speaking on the Chapter of Luke. You can listen to his messages online.

2 Corinthians 6:2 - (For he siaith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation).

I am sorry Sir. I am a black angel, God sent me to take you safely to the third class hell along with a few other racists.
