Its
use by Jesus is by far its most interesting aspect; for, in the Synoptists, at least, it is His watchword,
or a comprehensive
term for the whole of His teaching. Of
this the ordinary reader of Scripture may hardly be aware, but it becomes
evident and significant to the student. Thus, in Matthew 4:23, , the commencement of the ministry is described in these
words, “And Jesus went about in all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and
preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of disease and all
manner of sickness among the people”; and, somewhat later, in Luke 8:1, the expansion
of His activity is described in the following terms, “And it came to pass soon
afterwards, that he went about through cities and villages,
preaching and bringing the good tidings of the

In Matt
13:11, the parables, which formed so
large and prominent a portion of His teaching, are denominated collectively
“the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven”, and it will be remembered how many
of these commence with the phrase,
"The kingdom of
heaven is like."

1 Let a man regard us in this manner, as
servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.
2 In this case, moreover, it
is required of stewards that one be found trustworthy.
3 But to me it is a very
small thing that I may be examined by you, or by any human court; in
fact, I do not even examine myself. 4 For I am conscious of
nothing against myself, yet I am not by this acquitted; but the one who
examines me is the Lord.
5 Therefore do not go on
passing judgment before the time, but wait until the Lord comes who will both bring to light the things hidden in the darkness
and disclose the motives of men's hearts; and then each man's praise
will come to him from God.
6 Now these
things, brethren, I have figuratively applied to myself and Apollos for your
sakes,
so that in us you may learn
not to exceed what is written,
so that no one of you will become arrogant in behalf
of one against the other.
7 For who regards you as
superior?
What do you have that you did not receive? And if
you did receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?

2. “Kingdom of
Heaven” and “Kingdom of God”:
In these quotations, and in others which might
easily be adduced, it will be observed that the phrases “the kingdom,” “the
kingdom of God,” “the kingdom of heaven” are used interchangeably. The last of
the three, “the kingdom of heaven,” is confined to the First Gospel, which does
not, however, always make use of it; and it is not certain what may have been
the reason for the substitution. The simplest explanation would be that heaven
is a name for God, as, in the parable of the Prodigal Son, the penitent says,
“I have sinned against heaven,” and we ourselves might say, “Heaven forbid!” It
is not, however, improbable that the true meaning has to be learned from two
petitions of the Lord's Prayer, the one of which is epexegetic of the other,
“Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.” Here the
disciples are instructed to pray that the kingdom of God may come, but this is
equivalent to the petition that the will of God may be done on earth; Jesus is,
however, aware of a region in the universe where the will of God is at present
being perfectly and universally done, and, for reasons not difficult to
surmise, He elevates thither the minds and hearts of those who pray. The
kingdom of heaven would thus be so entitled because it is already realized
there, and is, through prayer and effort, to be transferred thence to this
earth.

2 Articles-MarkChapter
1, Nab/bible/#mark Verse 14-15-and Kingdom of God Has
Drawn Near
8 [14-15] After John had been arrested: in the plan of God, Jesus was not to proclaim the good news of salvation prior to the termination of the Baptist's active mission. Galilee: in the Marcan account, scene of the major part of Jesus' public ministry before his arrest and condemnation. The gospel of God: not only the good news from God but about God at work in Jesus Christ. This is the time of fulfillment: i.e., of God's promises. The kingdom of God . . . repent: see the note on Matthew 3:2.
9 [16-20] These verses narrate the call of the first Disciples. See the notes on Matthew 4:18-22 and Matthew 4:20.
10 [21-45] The account of a single day's ministry of Jesus on a sabbath in and outside the synagogue of Capernaum (Mark 1:21-31) combines teaching and miracles of exorcism and healing. Mention is not made of the content of the teaching but of the effect of astonishment and alarm on the people. Jesus' teaching with authority, making an absolute claim on the hearer, was in the best tradition of the ancient prophets, not of the scribes. The narrative continues with events that evening (Mark 1:32-34; see the notes on Matthew 8:14-17) and the next day (Mark 1:35-39). The cleansing in Mark 1:40-45 stands as an isolated story.
Luke Chapter, 4, Verse 18-21
"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, 9 because he has anointed me to bring glad tidings to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim liberty to captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free,
9 [18] The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me: see the note on Luke 3:21-22. As this incident develops, Jesus is portrayed as a prophet whose ministry is compared to that of the prophets Elijah and Elisha. Prophetic anointings are known in first-century Palestinian Judaism from the Qumran literature that speaks of prophets as God's anointed ones. To bring glad tidings to the poor: more than any other gospel writer Luke is concerned with Jesus' attitude toward the economically and socially poor (see Luke 6:20, 24; 12:16-21; 14:12-14; 16:19-26; 19:8). At times, the poor in Luke's gospel are associated with the downtrodden, the oppressed and afflicted, the forgotten and the neglected (Luke 4:18; 6:20-22; 7:22; 14:12-14), and it is they who accept Jesus' message of salvation.
10 [21] Today this scripture passage is fulfilled in your hearing: this sermon inaugurates the time of fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy. Luke presents the ministry of Jesus as fulfilling Old Testament hopes and expectations (Luke 7:22); for Luke, even Jesus' suffering, death, and resurrection are done in fulfillment of the scriptures (Luke 24:25-27, 44-46; Acts 3:18).
11 [23] The things that we heard were done in Capernaum: Luke's source for this incident reveals an awareness of an earlier ministry of Jesus in Capernaum that Luke has not yet made use of because of his transposition of this Nazareth episode to the beginning of Jesus' Galilean ministry. It is possible that by use of the future tense you will quote me . . . , Jesus is being portrayed as a prophet.
Kingdom of God Has Drawn Near
Matthew 4:8-10
Showing Jesus "all the kingdoms of the world and their glory"
Satan blatantly said to Jesus: "All these things I will give you if you
fall down and do an act of worship to me." Fully aware that the Devil did
indeed have control over "all the kingdoms of the world," Jesus
showed where He stood on the issue of sovereignty by replying: "Go away
Satan! For it is written, `It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is
to him alone you must render sacred service."'-Matthew 4:8-10.
' Jesus' life course demonstrated
clearly that for him, upholding Jehovah's sovereignty was the paramount
objective. Jesus well knew that he must remain faithful until death at Satan's
hand-prophetically foretold as the bruising of the heel of the woman's
"seed"-in order to prove the rightfulness of God's sovereignty.
(Matthew 16:21; 17:12) He also had to bear witness to the fact that the Kingdom
of God is the instrument empowered by Jehovah to subdue the rebel Satan and to
restore peace and order to all creation. (Matthew 6:9, 10) What did Jesus do to
fulfill this challenging mission?
"The Kingdom of God Has Drawn Near"
To begin with, "Jesus went into Galilee,
preaching the good news of God and saying: `The appointed time has been
fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has drawn near."' (Mark 1:14, 15) In
fact, he said: "I must declare the good news of the kingdom of God,
because for this I was sent forth.
" (Luke 4:18 21, 43) Luke 4:18;
Luke -4:43
But He said to them,
"I must preach the kingdom of God to the other cities also, for I was sent for this purpose."
4:43 -In Context
Jesus traveled the length and breadth of the land,
"preaching and declaring the good news of the kingdom of God." (Luke , 8, 1) Jesus also performed many powerful works-feeding
the crowds, taming the elements, curing the sick, and raising the dead. By
means of these miracles, Jesus proved that God can undo all the damage and suffering
that resulted from the Edenic rebellion and thus "break up the works of
the Devil."-1 John 3:8.
'To have the Kingdom good news declared to the
fullest extent possible, Jesus gathered a group of faithful followers and
trained them in that work. First, he commissioned his 12 apostles and
"sent them forth to preach the kingdom of God." (Luke 9,
l, 2) Then, he sent forth 70 others to declare the
message: "The kingdom of God has come near to you." (Luke 10:1, 8, 9) When these disciples returned and reported
to Jesus the success they had had in the Kingdom-preaching work, he responded:
"I began to behold Satan already fallen like lightning from
heaven."-Luke 10:17,18.
Jesus spared no effort and passed up no
opportunity to bear witness to the Kingdom. He worked incessantly, laboring day
and night, even forgoing the normal comforts of life. "Foxes have dens and
birds of heaven have roosts, but the Son of man has nowhere to lay down his
head," he said. (Luke 9,:58;
Mark 6,:31; John 4,:31-34) Shortly before his death, Jesus boldly
stated before Pontius Pilate: "For this I have come into the world, that I
should bear witness to the truth." (John 18:37) 18:37 Jesus' entire life course demonstrated that he
came, not simply to
What did Jesus instruct his followers to do, and wbe a great teacher or a miracle worker or even just a selfsacrificing Savior, but to uphold Jehovah's sovereign will and to bear witness to God's ability to fulfill that will through the Kingdom.-John 14:6. 14:6

LK4:16 Now Jesus arrived in Nazareth where he had grown up and
there he entered the synagogue on the Sabbath, as was his custom. When he stood up to read LK4:17

scroll and found the place where it had been written: LK4:18 “‘YHWH’s Pneuma170 is upon me

3. Relation to the Old Testament
(Daniel, Etc.):
Although,
however, the phrase held this master position in the teaching of Jesus, it was
not of His invention. It was employed before Him by John the Baptist, of whom
we read, in Matthew 3:1, f, “And in those days cometh John the Baptist,
preaching in the wilderness of
These passages in Daniel form undoubtedly the
proximate source of the phrase; yet the idea which it represents mounts far
higher. From the first the Jewish state was governed by laws believed to be
derived directly from heaven; and, when the people demanded a king, that they
might be like other nations, they were reproached for desiring any king but God
Himself. With this sublime conception the actual monarchy was only a
compromise, the reigning monarch passing for Yahweh's representative on earth.
In David, the man after God's own heart, the compromise was not unsatisfactory;
in Solomon it was still tolerable; but in the majority of the kings of both
