                                                                      Jesus’ Main Message Is

                                                      Kingdom of Heaven" and "Kingdom of God" has drawn near.

The great majority of evangelical Christians believe that the kingdom of God shall have universal sway over the earth, and that righteousness and peace and the knowledge of the Lord shall everywhere prevail. This happy time is commonly called the Millennium, or the thousand years' reign. The Teaching of Jesus. The Lord Jesus said nothing about world-wide conversion in His instructions to His disciples touching their mission (Matthew 28:19,20; Mark 16:15; Luke 24:46-48; Acts 1:8).-Millennium, premillennial view-Millennium, postmillennial view

 Matt 6-33 God know what we need.

The “kingdom of God” is one of the most remarkable ideas and phrases of all time,

having begun to be used very near the beginnings of history and

continuing in force down to the present day.

                 I. Meaning and Origin of the Term-1. Place in the Gospels: {ISBE}=T5318

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 kingdom of God, and with him the twelve.”

 

When the Twelve are sent forth by themselves, the*** purpose*** of their mission is, in  Luke 9:2,

                                                                      given in these words,

                     “And he sent them forth to**** preach the kingdom of God,**** and to heal the sick.” ,

Matt 13:11  Jesus answered them, "To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven,

 but to them it has not been granted.

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.
