Lesson 7 What is God's Kingdom?
God's Kingdom is a government ruled by Jesus that will soon take over the earth. Revelation 11:15
Jesus taught us to pray for God's Kingdom to come to earth. Matthew 6:9,10
Jesus is well qualified to be our King. Hebrews 4:15
He has already demonstrated that he can:
-
Control the weather and nature. Mark 4:39; Mark 11:20-22
-
Feed the hungry. Mark 14:16-21
-
Heal people who are sick. Matthew 4:23
-
Resist corruption. Matthew 4:10
-
Read people's hearts. John 1:47,48; Matthew 9:4
-
Protect us from extraterrestrial threats. Daniel 10:13; Revelation 12:7-9
-
Show flexibility. Matthew 15:22-28
God's Kingdom will bring endless peace to the earth. Isaiah 9:6,7; Micah 4:3
God's Kingdom is a government in opposition to all governments and political parties of the earth. Revelation 19:19; Revelation 16:14; Daniel 2:44
The governments and political parties of this arth are under the dominion of Satan. Luke 4:6; 1 John 5:19; John 4:19
So who will you give your allegiance to? Who will you campaign for?
Jesus and his followers did not participate in the secular politics of their time. John 6:15; John 18:36
Instead of getting involved in politics, we should be campaigning for God's Kingdom. Matthew 10:7
We are to be cooperative and show respect for present ruling authorities, but we obey God over all.
