Rediscovering the Kingdom Concept


God the Creator chose the concept of a kingdom to communicate His purpose, will, and plan for mankind and earth to us. The message of the Bible is primarily and obviously about a Kingdom. If you do not understand kingdoms, it is impossible for you to understand the Bible and its message.
 However, over the 2,000 years the true concept of kingdom has been lost, especially since the advent of modern governments built on new concepts of governing, e.g., democracy, socialism, communism, and dictatorships.
 For the most part, people in the Western world know very little about kingdom and the concept of royalty and monarchy.
 This is further compounded by the idea that kingdoms are designed to elevate one family above all families and subjugate and oppress citizens. While it is true that many kingdoms have dark histories of atrocities and oppression, prospering at the expense of the dignity and value of their citizens, the original concept of kingdom, as introduced by God Himself, stands alone as the perfect prototype of government built on righteous judgment. All the kingdoms of the earth were mere attempts to imitate this perfect Kingdom. Today our modern democracies are attempts to achieve the goals of the perfect kingdom, without the necessary raw material – the Holy Spirit.
 Added to this confusion, and even ignorance, concerning kingdom, religion has further diverted our understanding by converting the message of the Kingdom of God into a moral belief system. The result is that religion has become an end in itself, distinguishing itself from the Kingdom concept with pride. In fact, many religions take pride in the separation of religion and state and see the two as opposing entities with no common relationship. The dilemma is that the Kingdom is a state government with all the characteristics of a state.
 Jesus came to earth to restore what Adam lost, and He brought a kingdom message. Jesus came to reestablish the government of God on earth and to reinstate His earthly kings to their rightful place of dominion. Adam lost a kingdom, not a religion, and therefore the redemptive work of the Creator would be the reestablishment of His Kingdom on earth. Let’s take a look at what a Kingdom entails, in order to better understand the message of Jesus Christ and the Bible.
 What is a Kingdom?
… I take it from here soon.
Thanks.

The Message, Mission and Mandate of Jesus Christ!

“The most dangerous thing is illusion” ·          Ralp Waldo Emerson Losing an illusion makes you wiser than finding a truth. It is an illusion to think you know when you don’t really know. I was in the church for almost 40years not really known what the message of Jesus Christ is. I didn’t know what He came to do, I thought I knew but I wasn’t. I could see you already laughing or making jest of me please wait I tell you the truth you don’t know either. I am not a baby believer. I have been in the faith for years. I attended Bible believing church where God’s undiluted words are being preached. I went to church regularly. I have been to Bible College your so called theological school for years but not a course on what Jesus came do. I was trained as disciple and pastor not known the message, mission and mandate of Jesus. I wonder what messages we preach or what is going-on on our pulpits today or what our Bible Colleges teach? I am trying ...

Misunderstanding the Message and the Method

“The greatest danger in life is the misconstruing of a concept”. -           Dr. Myles Munroe There was not a single prophet before Abraham, please check your Bible and why this? A careful study of the promise will show that the promise was made “to” the nations “through” Abraham. This promise was the material for the introduction of prophets to the world. All the prophets of the Old Testament were raised up primarily to continually proclaim this promise of the coming messianic king, who would restore the Kingdom our father, Adam lost. Abraham had a son of promised, Isaac, who had two sons named Jacob and Esau. Jacob was chosen by God to be the line for the seed of the Messiah King and his name was changed by God Himself to Israel, which means “prince with God.” Perhaps this was to confirm the royal line of descendants. Israel had 12 sons who became known as the 12 tribes or clans of Israel and collectively as the Israelites. The He...

The Promise of Kingdom Rediscovery

The Old Testament is earth’s file of heaven’s record of the promise of the coming of the King and the Kingdom. All the prophecies were about His arrival and what He would bring; the laws given to Moses foreshadowed the laws and principles of the Kingdom. There are thousands of references to this specific announcement and a few are worth reviewing: ·          Moses predicted it: The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your own brothers. You must listen to Him (Deuteronomy 18:15). ·          David spoke of the Kingdom: Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and Your dominion endures through all generations (Psalm 145:13). ·          Isaiah saw the coming of the King and the Kingdom in detail: For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on His shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselo...
