If Jesus said TO, FOR and ABOUT His disciples in the 1st Century that THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN/ God was at hand, near, has come upon you, has it come or is it still in the future as many futurists wannabe "Christians" teach? Did Christ LIE? It's been 2000 years, is the Kingdom still near or did it come? Can "at hand," near, had come upon you still mean "at hand," near, had come upon you after about 2000 years?
Is the Kingdom physical or spiritual?
What is the Kingdom of God/ Heaven?
Who was the Kingdom for? Every human being? The world? Israel? Is the Bible's Kingdom to, for and about every person on earth?
Why was the KINGDOM OF GOD/ Heaven NEAR in the first century? What was or is its purpose? What does the Old Testament say about the coming kingdom?
Since Christ, John the Baptist and the disciples were preaching the kingdom has come near, at hand, has come upon them in first century, DID IT COME or did they LIE????
1. Matthew 3:2 and saying, “REPENT, FOR THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN HAS COME NEAR.”
John The Baptist says the KINGDOM OF HEAVEN HAS come NEAR in first century.
2. Matthew 4:17 From that time on JESUS began to preach, “REPENT, FOR THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN HAS COME NEAR.”
Yeshua preaches the Kingdom HAS come NEAR in first century.
3. Matthew 10:5-7 5 These twelve JESUS sent out with the following instructions: “Do not go among the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans. 6 Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel. As you go, proclaim this message: ‘THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN HAS COME NEAR.’
Yeshua instructs His Twelve to go to the LOST SHEEP of ISRAEL and proclaim the KINGDOM OF HEAVEN HAS come NEAR in the first century!
4. Mark 1:14-15 14 After John was put in prison, Jesus went into Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God. “THE TIME HAS COME,” he said. “THE KINGDOM OF GOD HAS COME NEAR. REPENT AND BELIEVE THE GOOD NEWS!”
Yeshua proclaims “THE TIME HAS COME” and “THE KINGDOM OF GOD HAS COME NEAR…” in the first century.
5. Luke 10:9-12 Heal the sick who are there and tell them, ‘THE KINGDOM OF GOD HAS COME NEAR TO YOU.’ 10 But when you enter a town and are not welcomed, go into its streets and say, 11 ‘Even the dust of your town we wipe from our feet as a warning to you. Yet be sure of this: THE KINGDOM OF GOD HAS COME NEAR.’ 12 I tell you, it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom than for that town.
Christ Sends The Seventy-Two To Preach The Gospel, heal, and tell first century
6. Luke 21:31 Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS NEAR. 32 “Truly I tell you, THIS GENERATION WILL CERTAINLY NOT PASS AWAY UNTIL ALL THESE THINGS HAVE HAPPENED. 33 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
Christ Speaks To His Disciples of the Destruction of Jerusalem in their generation (30-70AD) and THE KINGDOM DRAWING NEAR first century. For those of you unaware, Jerusalem was destroyed by God’s servants, The Roman armies in 70AD. What does the destruction of Jerusalem Temple have to do with the kingdom? The Temple represented The Law, The Priesthood, The Sacrificial System, The Kingdom, the identity of Israel as YHWH’s chosen people.
