Kings and Kingdoms
We pray it in the Lord’s Prayer,
“Your Kingdom Come, Your will be done”
Jesus spoke about a Kingdom of God.
Many of his Parables “the Kingdom of God is like”…
When Jesus is before Pilot:
We know that God’s kingdom is not of this world, that it is a spiritual kingdom.
Much emphasis has been put on this and rightly so.
But if we focus on this we will miss out on a bigger truth and a Key part of what God is doing with His Church.
Our Purpose on Earth.
Scripture is also clear that God’s kingdom is a disruptive force to the Kingdoms of this world.
Think of a King.
They were the highest authority in the Land, (under God).
No division of Power.
No Supreme court to answer to.
No Constitution to sear to uphold, no Legislature to impeach you.
No Press core to answer to.
No promises to break.
DO what ever you like.
Full and Complete authority to do what you like.
Kings could be Great.
or Kings could be Tyrants.
It depended on how they related to God.
Did they think they were God? or did they Fear God as a higher authority?
Think of a Kingdom.
The people and Land the King had power over.
The King could tell the people what to do and they had to do it of face imprisonment or death.
If a riot occured no problem.
lock em up, kill them.
Up to the King.
A kingdom was a good place to live if the Kings was good.
If not it was hell on earth.
Take a walk through history, and the Kingdoms on Earth that rejected God have been filled with evil.
IN the last Century, the earth has seen modern day “kings” with total power under Communism, and Socialism.
100 years, and 100 Million murdered.
As we have been reading through Daniel we saw the Godless societies,
Assyria, Babylon, Persia, Greece, Ptolemy, (the desecration of the temple that lead to the Maccabees revolt), Rome
Each bigger, and badder than the one before it.
All, being used to destroy God’s people
Consider the the Kingdom of GOD
The PEOPLE: GOD has ultimate power and Authority so his Kingdom should be the universe and all that is in it.
But God gave freedom.
Free will.
and Man Chose Sin, every one.
No one remained righteous.
Each chose their own way and their way came to be ruled by evil desires
and they became as slaves to sin in bondage to the evil one.
Satan.
the who world was in bondage to sin.
The apostle Paul proves it when he describes the situation even supposedly good people have:
Romans 7:15–20 “For I do not understand my own actions.
For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate.
Now if I do what I do not want, I agree with the law, that it is good.
So now it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me.
For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh.
For I have the desire to do what is right, but not the ability to carry it out.
For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I keep on doing.
Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me.”
The LAND: So the only thing really left to God in His kingdom is The LAND.
The Created things that did not have free will.
They had not become slaves to Sin.
Creation still belonged to God.
The LAND was being ruined, and tortured, and exploited by Sinful people
Much worse than the ruining of land by deforestation and other environmental evils was the Desecration of the LAND by SIN from the people living in it.
Is it interesting how scripture talks about the LAND.
God GAVE LAND a LAND GRANT (because it belonged to Him) to Abraham and the Jewish people.
And when Innocent Blood is spilled on the land it brought a curse of Guilt and there was Drought and pestilence, and effectively God’s blessing, was withheld from the land.
It is so important to understand what SIN has defiled the LAND.
and to make atonement for it.
You see the LAND is still GOD’s and it is still obedient to God, it will cry out.
here it is the BLOOD.
but other verses show the LAND is involved.
You see the part of God’s Kingdom that is still faithful and Obedient to Him, is suffering.
So creation is waiting for the People known as the sons of God, to be reveled.
For a sinful people to be restored, and made new and com back to walk with God in obedience.
A new Kingdom, a Restored Kingdom
But what if, God’s creation came back to him?
What if these slaves of sin could be Restored?
what might that be like?
Those people would be part of a Kingdom of God.
(also “kingdom of the Lord,” “kingdom of heaven”).
That term then would describe the Land and the People that are obeying God’s Will.
Refers primarily to God’s kingly power exercised over creation and people.
How will God do this?
what will it be like… The prophets of the Old testament longed to understand these things and could only prophesy about them from far off.
God Founded the Church through Jesus His son.
He rescued the people from Slavery to Sin so they could Obey Him again.
this placed them back in God’s Kingdom.
The place were Gods will is done.
because we are Obedient to His will.
SO the Church is Part of God’s Kingdom to the degree that we are obedient to God.
Daniel was one of The prophets of the Old testament that longed to understand the hidden mystery of the Church, “Gods Kingdom”.
Infact, perhaps the Prophet Daniel is chief among the prophets on this topic.
The Kingdom of God.
How does God introduce Daniel to this idea?
so amazing.
In the Dream of a pagan King Nebuchadnezzar that has given orders for Daniel’s execution.
What Daniel reveals about the Kingdom of God
That the Kingdoms of Man are are successive and worth less as time goes on.
Unlike what we study in school about the evolution of man,
