Understanding The Kingdom of God?

 

In our world today you need to see why Jesus Christ's original message of the Kingdom of God (found in over 100 places in the New Testament), is largely unrecognized by Christianity today—even though it holds the key to human survival. In our teaching lessons pertaining to the Kingdom of God, we will unlock your Bible understanding as never before. From the beginning, the Kingdom of God was the focus of Christ's own ministry. "Jesus came to Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, and saying, 'The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel'" (Mark 1:14-15).

The governments of mankind, with their inherent inability to solve human problems that are rooted in humanity's inability to choose the right way to live (Proverbs 16:25), will be replaced by a form of government that can, at last, solve those problems. Jesus Christ, Himself will rule the nations of the earth.

 

The Prophets anticipated the Kingdom of God.   

 

The vision explained in the book of Daniel covers prophecies from the time of Daniel to the time of Jesus Christ's second coming. Daniel understood that there would be four major world-ruling empires during that time Daniel explains that in the days of the fourth empire God will replace these human kingdoms with the Kingdom of God.

Daniel 2:44; “And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.

Daniel 12:1-3; “And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. 2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. 3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament, and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever.

Isaiah 2:2-4; “And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord'S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. 3 And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. 4 And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

Jesus Christ constantly taught about the Kingdom of God.

Luke 8:1; “And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him,

Jesus preaches

• Mark 1:14-15; “Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
• John 3:13; “And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.”
• Luke 4:43; “And he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore am I sent.”
• Luke 6:20; “And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed, be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.
• Luke 11:2; “And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so on earth.

The kingdom of God

Luke 17:20-21; “And when he was demanded of the Pharisees when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: 21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

Summary

Jesus has returned to Heaven after completing his responsibility of restoring the kingdom of God back on earth. In restoring the Kingdom back on earth, He raised up disciples and Apostle to continue the preaching of the Gospel of the Kingdom of God or the government of God.

As ambassadors of Christ, we should be concerned only with the interests of our King. Everything we say and do reflect that desire and that purpose. Our personal opinion does not matter. It is completely improper for an ambassador to express his or her personal opinions while acting in his official capacity as the representative and voice of his government.

As members of the body of Christ, we are the hands, feet, the arms, the fingers of God in the earth today, and we are to carry out the commission to continue what has started.
