Lesson 13: The kingdom of God Key Words Kingdom A dominion, realm, or reign that has a king/ruler, subjects, and rule of law/constitution or culture Apocalyptic Greek word meaning “Revelation” The message of apocalyptic literature (language) is presented in a figurative manner with the use of many metaphors
Daniel 2 & 7: Prophecy about the coming of the kingdom of God Jesus Christ (Mat 21:42-44, Act 4:10-11,Eph 2:20) The Mountain is the Church/ House of God (Is 2:2-4, Eph 2:19-20, 1 Peter 2:5) ?
Impact of these four kingdoms on Language/Writings of the bible
The Kingdom of God Established The kingdom of heaven /God -Shall stand forever/Death shall not defeat it -It will not be inherited -Shall consume all other kingdoms -Kingship shall be given to the Son of Men -All Nations shall be under the rule of the Son of Men Daniel 2:44 & Daniel 7:13-14 During the time of John the Baptist, the kingdom of God was at hand (Mat 3:1-2) Jesus said some of his 12 apostles will not taste death until they have seen the Kingdom of God (Mark 9:1) The kingdom of God on earth was established during Pentecost (33 AD) And it came with POWER (Act 2:1-4,41 &47) The apostles & disciples we to stay in Jerusalem to receive “Power” (Luke 24:49, Act 1:4,8-10) The kingdom of God shall come with “Power” (Mark 9:1)
The Kingdom of God & the Church Kingship or Dominion was Given to Jesus Christ/Son of Men (Mat 28:18,Eph 1:21-23) Jesus said He will establish his Church (Mat 16:18)…Death shall not defeat it! To enter into the kingdom of God, you need to be ‘born again’ (baptised) (John 3:1-5, Act 2:38-41) Therefore those who are saved, they are added to the Kingdom of God/ Church (Eph 2: 4-6, Acts 2:41, Col 1:13 The kingdom of God is from heaven and those who in the kingdom on earth (church) will be taken to God/Christ (Philippians 3:20)
