What Is the Kingdom of God?
1. The Kingdom of God is Relationships
The Kingdom of God can be summed up in one scripture: “And I will be a father to you, And you shall be sons and daughters to Me,” Says the Lord Almighty” (2 Corinthians 6;18). The Lord wants a family that is one with one another and one with Him and His Son. As He said in John 17: “I do not ask in behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through their word; that they may all be one; even as Thou, Father, art in Me, and I in Thee, that they also may be in Us; that the world may believe that Thou didst send Me…“And the glory which Thou hast given Me I have given to them; that they may be one, just as We are one; I in them, and Thou in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, that the world may know that Thou didst send Me, and didst love them, even as Thou didst love Me (verses 20-22). The Kingdom is a family where the Father, Son, Holy Spirit and His Saints (Sons) are all one in the Godhead.
In oneness is the power and authority to manifest the Kingdom. It is also how the world will recognize the Sons of God (Jn 17:20-22). Absolute oneness is love. The world shall also know God’s Sons by their love. “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. “By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another” (John 13:34-35).
The oneness we obtain creates the relationships between one another and God. The Kingdom is relationships. We have seen that, but we have never known how deep the Lord was going to require it. The Scriptures contain principles which teach us how to think and what our feelings and reactions concerning one another are to be. Whether we realize it or not, the bottom line in the Kingdom is relationships. All the problems that we face come to us because we do not know how to relate, or we have not yet perfected our relationships with one another (Stevens, supra, This Week Vol. 11, p. 151). I think the answer is by an awareness of actually why we have to be one. Why do we have to be one? We may think, “I’ve got my own individual life; why can’t I just lead it my way?” The Kingdom is relationships, and God has really been dealing with us on that basis (Stevens, This Week Vo. 9 p. 758).
For Those of you who thought the Kingdom was a matter of the works we do for God and how good we are in this life are in for a shock. The Kingdom consists of our oneness with God and one another. It is based on how we relate and communicate. Paul said that: “As a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming; but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ, from whom the whole body, being fitted and held together by what every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself in love” (Eph 4:4-6). The truth is based on the relationships we form with God and one another. The day of the individual is gone. God is bringing forth a Body of Christ in this day with many members (1 Corinthians 12). Our judgment is not based on our works but on our relationships. Jesus said: “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven; but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven. “Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ 23 “And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS” (Mt 7:21-23). They practiced lawlessness because they did their own works and will, not God’s.
2. Parables of the Kingdom
In Matthew 13 Jesus presents His parables of the kingdom. From a boat in the sea He spoke to them parables; the first: “Behold, the sower went out to sow; and as he sowed, some seeds fell beside the road, and the birds came and ate them up. “And others fell upon the rocky places, where they did not have much soil; and immediately they sprang up, because they had no depth of soil. 6 “But when the sun had risen, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away. “And others fell among the thorns, and the thorns came up and choked them out. “And others fell on the good soil, and *yielded a crop, some a hundredfold, some sixty, and some thirty. “He who has ears, let him hear” (Mt 13:3-9).
“And the disciples came and said to Him, “Why do You speak to them in parables?” And He answered and said to them, “To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been granted. “For whoever has, to him shall more be given, and he shall have an abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has shall be taken away from him. “Therefore I speak to them in parables; because while seeing they do not see, and while hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand” (Mt 13:10-13). He then quoted Isaiah 6:9-10 proving the people had no ears to hear or hearts to perceive. He added: “For truly I say to you, that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see, and did not see it; and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it” (Mt 13:17).
He then explained the parable to the disciples. “Hear then the parable of the sower. “When anyone hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart. This is the one on whom seed was sown beside the road. “And the one on whom seed was sown on the rocky places, this is the man who hears the word, and immediately receives it with joy; yet he has no firm root in himself, but is only temporary, and when affliction or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he falls away. “And the one on whom seed was sown among the thorns, this is the man who hears the word, and the worry of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. “And the one on whom seed was sown on the good soil, this is the man who hears the word and understands it; who indeed bears fruit, and brings forth, some a hundredfold, some sixty, and some thirty” (Mt 13:18-23). Thus the Kingdom depends on how a man hears the word and acts on it.
“He presented another parable to them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field. “But while men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed tares also among the wheat, and went away. “But when the wheat sprang up and bore grain, then the tares became evident also. “And the slaves of the landowner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?’ “And he said to them, ‘An enemy has done this!’ And the slaves said to him, ‘Do you want us, then, to go and gather them up? “But he said, ‘No; lest while you are gathering up the tares, you may root up the wheat with them. ‘Allow both to grow together until the harvest; and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather up the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them up; but gather the wheat into my barn” (Mt 13:24-30). The tares (weeds) look very much like wheat as they mature. But as they grow up the tares are apparent and the wheat is easily separated. Thus the wise farmer outsmarted the enemy who sought to spoil his entire crop.
“His disciples came to Him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field.” And He answered and said, “The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man, and the field is the world; and as for the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; and the tares are the sons of the evil one; and the enemy who sowed them is the devil, and the harvest is the end of the age; and the reapers are angels. “Therefore just as the tares are gathered up and burned with fire, so shall it be at the end of the age. “The Son of Man will send forth His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all stumbling blocks, and those who commit lawlessness, and will cast them into the furnace of fire; in that place there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. “Then THE RIGHTEOUS WILL SHINE FORTH AS THE SUN in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear” (Mt. 13:36-43). The place of weeping and gnashing of teeth can be no other than Hades (Gahanna, hell) the place of eternal torment.
“
He presented another parable to them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field; and this is smaller than all other seeds; but when it is full grown, it is larger than the garden plants, and becomes a tree, so that THE BIRDS OF THE AIR come and NEST IN ITS BRANCHES” (Mt 13:31-32). “… for truly I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you” (Mt 17:20). Therefore it is not the size of your faith but the genuinenus thereof.
Also: “The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three pecks of meal, until it was all leavened” (Mt 13:33). The Sons are the small amount of leaven which will leaven the whole earth with the word of God.
He said: “The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found and hid; and from joy over it he goes and sells all that he has, and buys that field” (Mt 13:13-44). Note the man did not shout to the world about the treasure but quietly went and secretly bought the entire field. He sold everything he had showing the value of the treasure to him. We likewise must rid ourselves of distracting possessions in order to possess the gift of the Father. In the early church the believers gave everything up to the Apostles to give to as many as would have need (Acts 2:43-45).
“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking fine pearls, and upon finding one pearl of great value, he went and sold all that he had, and bought it” (Mt 13:45-46). This was a pearl merchant who must have had quite a collection of fine pearls. Yet he found one of much greater value than all he owned and he sold all his possessions of lesser value to possess this one pearl. Likewise the gift of the Lord far exceeds anything of value on this earth and as the Lord said “Leave all and follow me”. “Let the dead bury the dead, you follow me”.
“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet cast into the sea, and gathering fish of every kind; and when it was filled, they drew it up on the beach; and they sat down, and gathered the good fish into containers, but the bad they threw away. “So it will be at the end of the age; the angels shall come forth, and take out the wicked from among the righteous, and will cast them into the furnace of fire; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth” (Mt 13:47-50).
Thus ends the parables of the Kingdom in Matthew but by no means ends the sayings of our Lord pertaining to the Kingdom. Jesus purpose was to preach the reality of the Kingdom. He said:”I must preach the kingdom of God to the other cities also, for I was sent for this purpose” (Luke 4:43).
3. The Kingdom of God Comes On This Earth
In Matthew 6 the Lord teaches the multitudes and disciples to pray. In Luke 11:1 the disciples were a little more up front about prayer. “It happened that while Jesus was praying in a certain place, after He had finished, one of His disciples said to Him, “LORD, TEACH US TO PRAY just as John also taught his disciples” (Luke 11:1). The Lord’s response was essentially the same in both verses.
He said: “When you pray, you are not to be as the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on the street corners, in order to be seen by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full. “But you, when you pray, go into your inner room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees in secret will repay you. “And when you are praying, do not use meaningless repetition, as the Gentiles do, for they suppose that they will be heard for their many words. “Therefore do not be like them; for your Father knows what you need, before you ask Him” (Mt 6:5-8). The Lord said to enter your innermost secret room and shut the door so you are alone with the Lord without the distractions of the world. He said that when you pray the Father knows what you need before you ask. Why pray then? Because the Lord is your Father and as we have said previously He wants a relationship with you with both of you participating.
When you approach your natural father on a Saturday night don’t think he doesn’t know what you want; the car keys and some money. But he lets you ask despite his superior knowledge. The Father of Spirits is the same way. He knows what you need but He wants you to ask. He wants the interaction with you; the relationship.
So before you ask you approach the Father with the awe and reverence he deserves. You pray: “Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy name” (Mt 6:9). Hallowed means (in secular dictionaries): holy; venerated; sacred, blessed, most high, etc. He is the Most High, the ruler of the universe, the earth and man. He deserves your veneration and praise and anything else you can give him.
When you pray it’s a good thing not to ask for trivial things. “Lord I want a blue Lexus”. He knows what you need spiritually and that’s what He’s focused on. So ask in the will of God. Demand: “Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN” (Mt 6:10). This is not some trite phrase meaning I’ll be good on earth just like the people in heaven. This is a demand that what is already in heaven come to the earth. We are asking the Father to set up His Kingdom here on earth, a duplicate of what is in heaven.
This is no light request. Long ago, in the time of Adam and Eve, the earth was cursed and subjected to futility (Genesis 3). Romans says: “For the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God” (Romans 8:20-21). Futility means that earth was put into the following conditions: vain, fruitless, abortive, unproductive, unprevailing, a land of disappointment and broken dreams, frustrated ambition and wasted energy, ineffective, feckless and going nowhere. Satan became the god of this world (2 Co 4:4) and he works his mischief through the futility. The Greek word for futility can mean “devoid of truth”. That is why we demand for God’s Kingdom to come on this earth. It is the Sons of God who make this happen (see Romans 8:21 above). The world is released from divinely imposed futility into “the freedom of the glory of the children of God”, those who call God their Father.
Before Christ returns His enemies will have been made a footstool for his feet, an essential ingredient for the Kingdom to come on earth. “…but He, having offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, SAT DOWN AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD, waiting from that time onward until His enemies be made a footstool for His feet” (Hebrews 10:13; Psalm 110). Who are His enemies? Ephesians 6:12 says: “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places”. And who defeats Christ’s enemies? The Sons of God do. Joel 2 speaks of the great army of the Lord. Paul goes into great detail in Ephesians 6 as to the spiritual armor needed by the Sons as they battle the evil forces in the spirit realm.
The spirit realm where God lives, (John 4:24) is just a stopping point in preparation for residing in the Kingdom on the earth. Christ is returning bringing the Saints (Sons of God) with Him to earth. Those who have gone on before us are waiting for that time. Hebrews 11:39-40 says: “And all these [the saints of old], having gained approval through their faith, did not receive what was promised, because God had provided something better for us, so that apart from us [on earth] they would not be made perfect”. A passage in Revelation says the same thing. “When the Lamb broke the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God, and because of the etestimony which they had maintained; and they cried out with a loud voice, saying, “aHow long, O Lord, holy and true, will You refrain from judging and avenging our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” And there was given to each of them a white robe; and they were told that they should rest for a little while longer, until the number of their fellow servants and their brethren who were to be killed even as they had been, would be completed also” (Revelation 6:9-11. They were in “heaven” but their fulfillment was on earth.
4. Death Is Conquered In the Kingdom
Paul emphasized that the last enemy to be conquered was death. He said in 1 Corinthians 15:20-27: “But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who are asleep”. Those who died before Christ were placed in Sheol in a state of rest or sleep. Christ in the three days prior to His resurrection went to Sheol and awakened those who were to possess His to resurrection life in heaven (Ephesians 4:8-9). In this passage of Ephesians scripture says: “WHEN HE ASCENDED ON HIGH, HE LED CAPTIVE A HOST OF CAPTIVES”. AND HE GAVE GIFTS TO MEN.” (Now this expression, “He ascended,” what does it mean except that He also had descended into the lower parts of the earth? He who descended is Himself also He who ascended far above all the heavens, that He might fill all things.). In a real sense the men of God who died without seeing fulfillment were captives of death until released by Christ who conquered death.
Corinthians continues: “For since by a man came death, by a man also came the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all shall be made alive. But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, after that those who are Christ’s at His coming”, Christ’s resurrection enabled Him, through the Father, to give the same resurrection to others. “Then comes the end, when He delivers up the kingdom to the God and Father”. Following the resurrection of the earthly church another period intervenes until the end when Christ will deliver His kingdom to God the Father (cf. Matt. 13:41–43). After all it is the Father’s Kingdom that ultimately prevails in his name. Christ came to do the will of the Father and it was always the Father’s will that the Kingdom, His family, come back to Him. This occurs only after: all rule and all authority and power abolished. For “He [Christ] must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet”. The enemies are the powers and authority in heavenly places, all who do not call Christ Lord.
“The last enemy that will be abolished is death”. Death, as a personification of Christ’s ultimate opponent (cf. v. 55; Heb. 2:14), will be nullified. It is not human bodies which will be destroyed, as some in Corinth were saying, but the destroyer of bodies, death itself. Man will than continue to live for eternity in the “kingdom prepared for them before the foundations of the world”. Likewise Revelation 21:4 says of the kingdom: “… there shall no longer be any death;…”
“And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years” (Rev 20:4-6, NKJV).
5. The Lay of the Land
What is this kingdom on earth to be like? Isaiah describes one phase: “For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; And the former things shall not be remembered or come to mind. “But be glad and rejoice forever in what I create; For behold, I create Jerusalem for rejoicing, And her people for gladness. “I will also rejoice in Jerusalem, and be glad in My people; And there will no longer be heard in her The voice of weeping and the sound of crying. “No longer will there be in it an infant who lives but a few days, Or an old man who does not live out his days; For the youth will die at the age of one hundred And the bone who does not reach the age of one hundred Shall be thought accursed. “And they shall build houses and inhabit them; They shall also plant vineyards and eat their fruit. “They shall not build, and another inhabit, They shall not plant, and another eat; For as the lifetime of a tree, so shall be the days of My people, And My chosen ones shall wear out the work of their hands. “They shall not labor in vain, Or bear children for calamity; For they are the offspring of those blessed by the LORD, And their descendants with them. “It will also come to pass that before they call, I will answer; and while they are still speaking, I will hear. “The wolf and the lamb shall graze together, and the lion shall eat straw like the ox; and dust shall be the serpent’s food. They shall do no evil or harm in all My holy mountain,” says the LORD” (Is 65:17–25).
How many of us today do bear children only to bring them up in a world of calamity (futility)? How many lives are cut short by disease and starvation? Men labor in vain as someone else takes the fruit of their labors. Futility in the animal kingdom will be done away with as the wolf and lamb (natural enemies in futility) will lie down together in peace. There will be no harm done; no murder or battery in the Kingdom. The Lord will be near and will answer prayer instantly. After Christ’s resurrection death itself was conquered (see above). That apparently was even beyond Isaiah’s prophetic vision.
And an even greater phase of the Kingdom is described in Revelation when, after Christ’s resurrection, death is conquered completely and the kingdom is fully come. It is described in Revelation 21-22. “AND I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no longer any sea. And I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He shall dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself shall be among them, and He shall wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there shall no longer be any death; there shall no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away.” And He who sits on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” And He said, “Write, for these words are faithful and true.” And He said to me, “ It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give to the one who thirsts from the spring of the water of life without cost. “He who overcomes shall inherit these things, and I will be his God and he will be My son. “But for the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death” (Rev 21:1-8).
“And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, having the glory of God” (Rev 21:10-11). The city is described as having precious stones all around symbolic of the great glory. “Her brilliance was like a very costly stone, as a stone of crystal-clear jasper. It had a great and high wall, with twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels; and names were written on them, which are those of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel” (Rev 21:10-11).
“AND he showed me a river of the water of life, clear as crystal, coming from the throne of God and of the Lamb, in the middle of its street. And on either side of the river was the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. And there shall no longer be any curse; and the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His bond-servants shall serve Him; and they shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads. And there shall no longer be any night; and they shall not have need of the light of a lamp nor the light of the sun, because the Lord God shall illumine them; and they shall reign forever and ever” (Rev 22:1-5).
The opening verses of chapter 21 describe the creation of the new heaven and the new earth which may follow the thousand-year reign of Christ described in chapter 20. Chapter 21 begins with the familiar words I saw, an expression repeated in verse 2 (cf. v. 22, “I did not see”). This new creation is described as a new heaven and a new earth. That it is a totally new heaven and a new earth, and not the present heaven and earth renovated, is supported by the additional statement, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away (also see comments on 20:11). An amazingly small amount of information is given about the new heaven and the new earth. But one major fact is stated in this verse: there was no longer any sea. This could mean the literal watery sea or it could mean the “sea of humanity” from which the beast and false prophet emerged. The Bible is silent, however, on any features of the first heaven except the statement in 21:23 that there will be no sun or moon and, by implication, no stars. The new heaven refers not to the abode of God, but to the earth’s atmosphere and planetary space. No landmarks whatever are given concerning the new earth, and nothing is known of its characteristics, vegetation, color, or form. The implication, however, is that it is round and is the residence of all who are saved. A few other references are found in Scripture in relation to the new earth, including Isaiah 65:17; 66:22; and 2 Peter 3:10–13.
John’s attention was then directed to a specific feature of the new heaven and new earth, namely, the Holy City, the New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. The New Jerusalem is called “the Holy City,” in contrast with the earthly Jerusalem (which spiritually was compared to Sodom in Revelation 11:8). As early as verse 3:12 the New Jerusalem was described as “the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from My God.”
21:5–6. The dramatic change to the new order is expressed in the words, “I am making everything new!” This revelation is trustworthy and true, and John was instructed to write down that fact. The One bringing about the change is Christ, who calls Himself the Alpha and the Omega (cf. 1:8; 22:13), the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet, interpreted by the phrase the Beginning and the End. Those who are thirsty are promised that they will be able to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life. Apparently this refers not to physical thirst but to a desire for spiritual blessings. 21:7–8. Christ explained that he who overcomes will inherit all this, and I will be his God and he will be My son. This expresses the intimate relationship between the saints and God in the eternal state. By contrast, those who practice the sins of the unbelieving world will be excluded from the New Jerusalem and will be destined for the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This judgment is a righteous punishment for their sins, eight of which are itemized here. He adds, This is the second death.
About all that can be said is that dramatic changes are coming to the earth. The end of the world is not the end but the eternal beginning. “O LORD, You are my God; I will exalt You, I will give thanks to Your name; For You have worked wonder cPlans formed long ago, with perfect faithfulness” (Isaiah 25:1).
