The good news of Gods kingdom

[kjw47]

Yes it really is good news, the coming of Gods kingdom rule to all creation. Only the wicked fear its arrival.
Jesus will lead Gods armies to the earth and bring that kingdom rule with him. Satan will be captured and abyssed for 1000 years. During that time, the earth will be transformed into an Eden(paradise)--mankind will go back to perfection, never sick, never without, not aging like now. No more- war, hatred, fear, abuse, sickness, disease, afflictions like blindness, etc) no cheating on mates, drunkeness, drug addiction, no false god worship, Gods kingdom rule will be a cure all. Even dead love ones resurrected and some given a chance to learn and apply Gods will. But then satan is loosed for a little while to test the resurrected ones, many( Gog of Magog- will fall as the sands of the sea( rev 20:8) the bible says. Then satan and all who were mislead by him will be destroyed forever in the lake of fire. And death will be no more, neither will mourning, outcries or pain. Gods kingdom rule in full control forever, all motives of mortal hearts out of love, not profit. Perfect harmony from all of Gods creatures( Isaiah 11)--- Eternal life of happiness. This will be on earth.( Matt 5:5, Psalm 37:29)

Will you live for entrance into that kingdom now?

The GOSPEL is the good news of the Kingdom!

The good news is the gospel of Jesus Christ, His death, burial and resurrection.

It is good news because the gospel promises salvation from sin to those who believe.

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. (Rom. 1:16-17)

The kingdom refers to the relationship Christians have with God. Its the rule or dominion of Christ in ones heart.

The kingdom is a spiritual entity and not physical.

The Bible speaks of the Kingdom as being in existence NOW. (Revelation 1:9; Colossians 1:13; I Thessalonians 2:12; Hebrews 12:28).

Isaiah is filled with prophecies about Gods kingdom rule over all the earth-After Armageddon.) Its Gods heavenly govt, ruled by Gods appointed king Jesus who will rule with an iron rod. It is physical, Its a cure all for all of mankinds woes.

Did you know that Jesus calls the Gospel "the good news of the Kingdom"? Matthew 24:14: "This good news of the Kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations and then the end will come." Do you know what the Kingdom is? Did you know that it is a real government headed by Christ? Have you ever read the following?

"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder....Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end..." (Isaiah 9:6,7, KJV)

"The God of heaven shall set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed....It shall break in pieces and consume all the kingdoms [of men] , and it shall stand forever." (Daniel 2:44, KJV)

Have you never been told about this aspect of the good news? The Gospel includes much more than what you are saying. Yes, Jesus died for us, and he will also rule over the earth from heaven with his co-rulers (Revelation 5:10). That is an important point that you have apparently missed.

Isaiah is filled with things about Gods kingdom, its not just in the gospels. Revelation has many teachings about the kingdom. The whole bible does. Ezekial has many prophecies concerning the kingdom.

Thats what I thought. You CANNOT refute the Scriptures.

1 Corinthians 15:1-4 Paul states what the gospel of the kingdom is.

Romans 1:16-17 Paul tells us that the gospel of the kingdom promises salvation from sin to those who believe.

FACT - The kingdom is here NOW. (Revelation 1:9; Colossians 1:13; I Thessalonians 2:12; Hebrews 12:28).

Watchtower Witnesses preach another gospel.

8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. 9 As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed. (Galatians 1:8-9)

Yes Gods kingdom was established in heaven at Rev 6:2--Few on earth listen to Jesus and serve him as king. Gods kingdom= a govt rule from heaven, lead by a king who has all authority given to him over all( not God though)-- A govt that will wipe every other govt of mortals off of Gods earth(Dan 2:44) Rev 16)- a spiritual ruling authority. Just like any mortal govt lead kingdom, except this one will rule in love, justice and righteousness.

How about reading post #12? I explained what the Kingdom is. It is not "in one's heart," it is an actual government. (Isaiah 9:6,7; Daniel 2:44)
The Kingdom isn't set up NOW. If it was, would Jesus tell us to pray for the Kingdom to come? "Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in heaven." (Matthew 6:9,10) His will isn't being done yet throughout the planet, so it's safe to think that the Kingdom isn't fully influencing the nations as yet, and when it does everyone will know that Jesus is taking care of matters.

The kingdom (basilea) is defined as sovereignty, royal power, a territory or a people over whom a King rules.

The Kingdom in Old Testament refers to the Israelites as a nation of people. God ruled more than Israel, but had a special relationship with Israel.

5 Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession. Although the whole earth is mine, 6 you will be for me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation. (Exodus 19:5-6)

Jesus told the Jews of his day, "The kingdom of God shall be taken away from you and given to people who will produce its fruit." (Matthew 21:43)

Daniel prophesied the kingdom would be established in the future (Daniel 2:30-45).

Daniel says, the first kingdom was the Babylonian kingdom. History tells us that the second world power after Babylon was the Medo-Persian kingdom. (Dan.5:28) Again, history confirms that the third world power after the Medes and Persians was the Grecian kingdom of Alexander the Great. After the Greeks came the great Roman kingdom which subdued all other kingdoms of the world.

In 2:44, Daniel says, "And in the days of those kings (the Roman kings) shall the God of heaven set up a KINGDOM which shall never be destroyed, nor shall sovereignty thereof be left to another people; but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and IT SHALL STAND FOREVER."

It was during the days of the Roman Kings that John the Baptist said, "Repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." (Matthew 3:2) It was also during the days of the Romans kings that Jesus came preaching, "The kingdom of heaven is at hand." (Matthew 4:17; 10:7). "The time is fulfilled and the kingdom of God is at hand." (Mark 1:15)

In several references the kingdom refers to the church. The kingdom prophecies of the Old Testament were fulfilled when the church was established on the day of Pentecost, because after the day of Pentecost in Acts 2 the Bible speaks of the Kingdom as being in existence. (Revelation 1:9; Colossians 1:13; I Thessalonians 2:12, Hebrews 12:28).

Only those born again, born of water and the Spirit, can enter the kingdom. (John 3:3-5) This means they must be baptized according to Christs will and receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. (Acts 2:38)

The idea of God wanting to rule the hearts of the people in the Old Testament is also found in the New Testament. It is still appropriate to pray for the kingdom or the ruler ship of God to come into this world, for Gods reign in the hearts of men and women.

The kingdom is here on earth NOW. Believers are translated into it (Col. 1:13). John was in it (Rev. 1:9). The Jewish Christians were were receiving it (Hebrews 12:28). Paul wrote the Christians in Thessalonica to walk worthy of God who had called them into His kingdom (1Thess. 2:12).

The kingdom is her NOW. It is a spiritual entity where Christ rules in the hearts of men.

If you are not in His kingdom, you are LOST!

The kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ was established on the day of Pentecost AD 33 when believers were born of water and the Spirit through baptism, and the Lord added them to His church.

Yes, our Lords Kingdom on earth is ruled FROM heaven. His Kingdom is spiritual. It consists of born again believers who have Christ ruling over their hearts.

Christs kingdom is here NOW! When Jesus comes again, He will deliver His kingdom (the church) to His Father in heaven, where they will reign with Him forever.

Yes, it is a government, but it is not a physical government like we see in Washington DC or Bejing. It is a spiritual government from which Jesus is ruling from heaven. Who is He ruling over? His followers! They are in His kingdom. He is ruling and reigning over them. They have been translated into His kingdom Col. 1:23). John along with his Christian brethren were undergoing tribulation in the the kingdom (Rev. 1:9). You cannot deny that the kingdom, which is the sovereign rule of Christ, is here NOW.

You say the kingdom is not "in ones heart." YES IT IS! Hear Jesus words.

Luke 17:20-21

20 Some of the Pharisees asked Jesus, "When will the kingdom of God come?"

Jesus answered, "Gods kingdom is coming, but not in a way that you will be able to see with your eyes. 21 People will not say, Look, here it is! or, There it is! because Gods kingdom is within you."

Notice: the kingdom is not a physical entity, not something you can see with your eyes. It is within the hearts of men. It is visible only in the good fruits they bear.

The kingdom is here NOW. It is a spiritual entity. It is within the hearts of Jesus followers.

Jesus established His kingdom, which is His sovereign rule and reign, on the day of Pentecost AD 33. His kingdom came with power just as Jesus said it would (Mark 9:1). Jesus told His Apostles to wait in Jerusalem where they would receive power from the Holy Spirit (Luke 24:49; Acts 1:8). We see this fulfilled in Acts 2:1-4.
