The Kingdom Of God
“Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever” (Revelation 11:15).
The kingdom of God is the government established by God, when God’s Word shall reign over the entire world forever. Daniel wrote, “Then to Him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve Him” (Daniel 7:14).
God appointed His Word as King of the kingdom of God, and has given all authority to the Bible superior to any human ruler or government. Scripture says all the kingdoms of mankind shall become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ.
Isaiah prophesied of this takeover: “For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace” (Isaiah 9:6).
Jesus Christ was born to take over the running of this world. The ruling authority of the Word of God will grow, and there shall be no national boundaries to His government. He shall bring true justice and peace to all the nations of the world (see Isaiah 9:7).
The kingdom of God is also the kingdom of Christ, which is preached to us through the gospel. Peter wrote, “But the word of the Lord endures forever. Now this is the word which by the gospel was preached to you” (1 Peter 1:25).
After John the Baptist was arrested, Jesus came to Galilee, proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel” (Mark 1:15).
The Word of God is that gospel Jesus came preaching to mankind, and He says, “The sower sows the word” (Mark 4:14), which is the Holy Scripture. And everyone who believes this gospel of the everlasting kingdom of the Bible shall be saved.
Jesus confirmed that the kingdom of God has started already: “The law and the prophets were until John. Since that time the kingdom of God has been preached, and everyone is pressing into it” (Luke 16:16).
The Pharisees (the super religious people), came to Jesus and asked, “When the kingdom of God would come.” Jesus replied, “The kingdom of God does not come with observation” (Luke 17:20). God’s kingdom is already here among us.
Jesus says, “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfil” (Matthew 5:17). Jesus came to fulfil that which was spoken by Prophet Daniel that the Lord Himself will set up this kingdom of God (see Daniel 2:44).
Today, the Bible gate is open for everyone to enter into that kingdom. God wants us to enter His Word, and His Word should enter us. Jesus says, “Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able” (Luke 13:24).
PRAYER
Dear heavenly Father, thank you for showing us the Bible door to enter into the kingdom of God, in Jesus name. Amen.
