THIS IS THE KINGDOM

Vrs 14
This gospel will be preached! What is the Gospel?
It is the words, deeds, death & resurrection of Jesus Christ. Also, After the death of Christ, the term comprises the preaching of Jesus Christ as having suffered death on the cross to procure eternal salvation for all men , Resurrected to life and exalted to the right hand of God!
Now,
Lets look at the word Kingdom as it relates to vrs 14.

 Kingdom means:
A royal power, A dominion. A realm
But, not to be confused with an actual kingdom but rather the right or royal power to rule in a Kingdom! (the literal kingdom comes soon)
 So, Vrs 14-
"My procurement of Salvation for all men,  my words, deeds, death & resurrection (the gospel) of my realm and my dominion, my royal power and kingdom shall be preached throughout the whole world
In  verse 14, Christ is clarifying the difference between HIS KINGDOM and the kingdoms of verse 7.
His is a Spiritual God Given realm, which no man gave him nor did he do battle to obtain!
His kingdom was ordained by God  and Acquired by his willingness to suffer, his obedience to death, and his resurrection! Which along with Christ, due to our faith, our obedience, will one day soon, inherit a literal kingdom, the territory subject to the rule and kingship of Jesus Christ!
We, are on the brink, of stepping into the literal physical kingdom and rulership of Jesus Christ very soon!



Lets search into his Kingdom a little more through Christs own words. Next post.
