We like to talk about things that matter to us, things that are close to our heart. As Jesus himself said, ''out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.'' (matthew 12:34) judging by the things Jesus spoke about during his ministry, we can conclude that the Kingdom of God was close to his heart. ''He went journeying from city to city and from village to village preaching. . . The good news of the Kingdom of God'' (luke 8:1) |

Wot is God's Kingdom...? A kingdom is a government ruled by a king. So the kingdom of God is a government set up by God. Jesus spoke extensively about God's Kingdom, making it the theme of his message. Theres are more than 110 references to Gods Kingdom in the four Gospels. But Jesus did not teach with words alone. His actions also taught much about God's Kingdom and wot it will do. |

Who is the king....? The king of God's Kingdom is not elected to office by human voters. Rather, this Ruler is chosen by God himself. In his teaching, Jesus revealed that he is the one chosen by God to be King. Jesus knew that the bible prophecies had foretold that the promised Messiah would rule over an everlasting Kingdom. (Read Daniel 7:13,14 and Matthew 26:63,64 and 2 Samuel 7:12-14) Remember that Jesus openly declared himself to be the foretold Messiah. Jesus was thereby acknowledging that he is the King appointed by God.(read this in John 4:25, 26) Fittingly, Jesus several times used the expression 'my kingdom' (john 18:36) |

Jesus also taught that there would be others who would rule with him in the Kingdom(read this in Luke 22:28-30) he called these corulers a ''little flock'' He said of them: '' your Father has approved of giving you the kingdom.''(luke 12:32) |

Where did Jesus say the Kingdom is located....? ''My Kingdom is no part of this world'' Jesus said to Pontius Pilate. God's Kingdom under Christ will not rule through human agencies. Jesus repeatedly referred to the Kingdom of God as ''the kingdom in the heavens'' Gods Kingdom, therefor is a heavenly government. *the expression 'kingdom of the heavens' appears about 30 times in the gospel of Matthew. |

Wot does the Kingdom accomplish....?. Jesus taught his listeners to pray to God: let your will take place, as in heaven, also upon earth. God's will is being done in heaven. THE KINGDOM IS THE MEANS BY WHICH GOD'S PURPOSE FOR THE EARTH IS CARRIED OUT. To accomplish that, the Kingdom will effect dramatic changes on this earth. |

Wot will the kingdom do on earth...? Jesus taught that Gods Kingdom will eliminate evil by removing those who are practicing it. (read matthew 25:31-34,46) that will mean the end of all forms of corruption and wickedness. |

The earth, Jesus taught, will be filled with ppl who are 'righteous', 'merciful', 'pure in heart' and 'peaceable' (please read this in matthew 5:5-9) will such faithful ones have to live on a polluted planet....? By no means! |

Jesus promised that the earth will undergo marvelous changes under God's Kingdom. A man who was to be executed alongsided Jesus said: 'Jesus remember me when you get into your kingdom.' in reply, Jesus said: 'truly i tell you today, you will be with me in Paradise' (read this in luke 23:42, 43). Yes, God's Kingdom will transform this earth into a global Paradise. Similar to the one that existed in the garden of Eden. |
