Christ,
King of the Kingdom
February 8, 2009
Introduction
Matthew
1:1 The
greatest credential of Jesus Christ’s humanity is that He is “the son of David”
Romans
1:3 The greatest credential of His
Deity is His “resurrection”
Acts 2:22 Ye men of
Acts 2:25 David was speaking about Him
when he called Jesus “LORD” cf Psalm 16:8
Acts
2:29-31 if
you are not looking for a resurrected man to sit on David’s throne you are
looking in the wrong direction. One cannot speak of a throne without thinking
about a kingdom.
We believe there are three aspects to this kingdom
I The universal
We
mean: that sphere in which God is in all and over all.
To
men, this is a mystical kingdom
John 18:36 a
kingdom not like this world that fights for rights
John 3:1-8 that kingdom into which we “see”
and “enter” by a new birth
Hebrews 12:22-24 perhaps gives us the inhabitants
of this kingdom
Opposed to this kingdom is the kingdom of the Devil and darkness
Matthew 12:26 Jesus acknowledged the existence of
this kingdom
Acts 26:18 to be in it is to be in
darkness
Colossians 1:13 under the power of
darkness
2 Corinthians 4:4 with a blinded mind
Ephesians 2:2 influenced by the Prince
of the power of the air
II The present mystery form of the Kingdom
Matthew 13:25
tares and wheat together
Matthew 13:33 leaven in the good meal
Matthew 13:48 good fish and bad fish in the same
net
“Christendom”
a mixture of saved and unsaved.
We, “sons of God”, among those who are “not
sons of God”
III The future manifest form of the kingdom in the millennium
The “kingdom of Heaven” (Matthew3:2, and only found in Matthew) will
be the
promised Kingdom, yet to come. Because it is an aspect of the one Kingdom
it is also rightly called
the
Matthew 6:10 will be answered. God’s will, will be on earth as it is now in
Heaven
Deuteronomy 11:21 as days of heaven upon earth
Luke 19:11
some thought this kingdom
would immediately appear
Luke 23:51 the kingdom for which Joseph of Arimathaea waited
Acts 1:6-7 the restored Kingdom to
Micah 4:6-8 the Kingdom shall come to the daughter of
Luke 13:28-29 an event that cannot happen without a
resurrection
Luke 14:15 this kingdom will be
blessed
Luke 9:27-33
cf 2 Peter 1:16-18 the transfiguration was a preview of the days when
the Lord sets up this kingdom
Revelation 20:1-7 are these verses true? The kingdom comes for 1000 years
1 Corinthians 15:24-25 He must reign, then, deliver up this kingdom
Do not the following Scriptures
demand such a Kingdom and rule?
Zechariah 9:9-10 dominion
from sea to sea. True
or false?
Zecharaiah14:9 he shall be king over all
the earth . True or false?
Jeremiah 23:5 a King shall reign in
the earth. True or
false?
Matthew 19:28 when the Son of man shall sit on the
throne…True or false?
Matthew 25:31 Son of man shall come..sit
upon the throne… True or false?
Knowing that the majority of Bible
readers do not believe that Jesus is
coming back to reign on this earth, we have inserted these questions. I urge
you to consider what the Scriptures say. It is not a matter of believing what I
or any other man says!
A theology that replaces the Church
for
But for those who believe what the
Scriptures say, the millennium is necessary to fulfill the promise made to
David that he would have a Son to sit on his throne. It will also see all the
promises made to
