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.I. 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

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.

After John had been arrested, ⁸ Jesus came to Galilee proclaiming the gospel of God: 15

"This is the time of fulfillment. The kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel."

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 the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it had been written: LK4:18 “‘YHWH’s Pneuma 170 is upon me for He has anointed me to preach Good News to the poor. He has sent me to preach a release to the captives and a recovery of sight to the blind – to send the oppressed away to freedom -

YHWH’s Pneuma: Or, KJV: the Spirit of the Lord. The source of the quotation has the Tetragram. The phrase “Jehovah’s spirit” is rare in the Hebrew Bible. [Judges 6:34; 11:29; 13:25; 14:6, 19; 15:14] The phrase “spirit of Jehovah” only occurs about two dozen times in the Hebrew Bible. “Holy spirit” occurs only three times. [Psalm 51:11; Isaiah 63:10, 11]

LK4:19 to preach YHWH’s acceptable year.’” [Isaiah 61:1, 2 LXX] LK4:20 After he rolled up the scroll and handed it back to the attendant he sat down. Everyone’s eyes in the synagogue were fixed firmly upon Jesus. LK4:21 Then Jesus told them all: “Today this Scripture you heard is being fulfilled as you listen.” 171 From http://www.nazarene-friends.org/nazcomm/42/004.htm

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 Judea, saying, Repent ye; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Indeed, the phrase is far older; for, on glancing toward the Old Testament, we come at once, in Daniel 2:44, to a passage where the young prophet, explaining to the monarch the image of gold, silver, iron and clay, which, in his dream, he had seen shattered by “a stone cut out without hands,” interprets it as a succession of world-kingdoms, destined to be destroyed by “a kingdom of God,” which shall last forever; and, in his famous vision of the “son of man” in Dan_7:14, it is said, “There was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations, and languages should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.”

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 Judah and Israel it was a dismal and disastrous failure. No wonder that the pious sighed and prayed that Yahweh might take to Himself His great power and reign, or that the prophets predicted the coming of a ruler who would be far nearer to God than the actual kings and of whose reign there would be no end. Even when the political kingdom perished and the people were carried away into Babylon, the intelligent and truly religious among them did not cease to cherish the old hope, and the very aspect of the worldpowers then and subsequently menacing them only widened their conceptions of what that kingdom must be which could overcome them all. The return from Babylon seemed a miraculous confirmation of their faith, and it looked as if the day long prayed for were about to dawn. Alas, it proved a day of small things. The era of the Maccabees was only a transitory gleam; in the person of Herod the Great a usurper occupied the throne; and the eagles of the Romans were hovering on the horizon. Still Messianic hopes flourished, and Messianic language filled the mouths of the people.

Jesus- Said

I must declare the good news of the kingdom of God, because for this I was sent forth.—Luke 4:43.

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 (NWT) or destroy (NASB) the works of the Devil.” (1 John 3:8 NASB) 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 9:1, 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

Go . . . and make disciples of people of all the nations.—Matt. 28:19.

Jehovah’s servants must sometimes develop skills and attitudes that will help them to do his will. At God’s command, for instance, Abraham and Sarah left the prosperous city of Ur and eventually needed the qualities and abilities required of tent dwellers. (Heb. 11:8, 9, 15) Leading the Israelites into the Promised Land demanded that Joshua have courage, confidence in Jehovah, and knowledge of his Law. (Josh. 1:7-9) And whatever skills Bezalel and Oholiab may already have had were certainly enhanced or further developed by God’s spirit so that those men could successfully share in and oversee the construction of the tabernacle and related work. (Ex. 31:1-11) Centuries later, Jesus Christ gave his followers the commission found in today’s text. Never before had people been given the privilege of doing anything quite like this.
