(Act 1:3-7) To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:
And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me. For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days
hence. When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt
thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? And he said unto them, It is not for you
to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
(1Th 5:1-5) But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need
that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the
day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall
say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as
travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye,
brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light,
and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
I . What is the
Kingdom of God?ANSWER:
IT IS A SPIRITUAL KINGDOM
(Rom 14:17) For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but
righteousness, and peace, and joy in the
Holy Ghost.(Joh 3:3) Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily,
verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born
again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
(Luk 17:20-21) And when he was demanded of the
Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should
come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of
God cometh not with observation: Neither shall
they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is
within you.
II . What is the
Kingdom of
Heaven?ANSWER: IT IS A LITERAL
PHYSICAL KINGDOM
(Mat 8:11) And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and
shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac,
and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.
(Mat 11:12) And from the days of John the Baptist
until now the kingdom of
heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by
force.
These kingdoms are the theme of
the Bible
IV. Tracing these
Kingdoms through
the Bible
THE BIBLE BEGINS WITH A STRUGGLE OVER A THRONE. (Gen 1:1) In the beginning
God created the heaven and the earth.
(Isa 14:13) For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into
heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the
congregation, in the sides of the north:
THE BIBLE ENDS WITH SOME SITTING ON A THRONE
(Rev 22:3) And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall
be in it; and his servants shall serve
him:
THE ATTITUDE FACTOR Always be prepared
to change whatever you have been
taught or believed when it goes
contrary to the Bible. Never make
the Bible line up with what you
believe or think. Always line up your thoughts with what
the Bible clearly teaches
2. God places a king over
the kingdoms
(Eze 28:12-15) Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say
unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect
in beauty. Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx,
and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and
down in the midst of the stones of fire. Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in
thee.
(Isa 14:12-15) How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the
nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne
above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the
congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be
like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the
sides of the pit.
Original Earth
Chaotic Earth
Recreated Earth
Millennial Earth
Fire Ball Earth
New Earth
V. Transferrin
g these Kingdoms to a New
King
God Still has a plan that he intends to carry out. (Gen. 1:3- 2:7)
In Gen. 1:1-3, God takes 6 days to recreate the earth, to get ready to accomplish His plan for the universe (Watch the 7th day)
On the sixth day God creates a new king that he is going to give the Kingdoms to, and his name is Adam
GOD’S PROPHECY ABOUT CREATING MAN
(Gen 1:26) And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let
them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the
cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
THE FULFILLING OF THAT PROPHECY
“Dust of the Ground”… Body… In the likeness of Christ “ Breath of Life” … Spirit… In the likeness of the Holy Spirit “Man became a living soul” … In the likeness of the Father
MAN BECOMES A TRICHOTOMY OR A TRINITY… JUST LIKE GOD
2. In the Garden
a. God give Adam
the Crowns
over both Kingdoms
(Gen 1:26) And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have
dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all
the earth, and over every creeping thing
that creepeth upon the earth.
He is the King over
the Kingdom of God
HE IS THE SON OF GOD WITH THE IMAGE OF GOD
(Luk 3:38) Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God.
Adam is a spiritual being made in the
image of God for the purpose of reigning over the Kingdom of
God (The spiritual kingdom)
God Gives him a Queen (Woman)
He is the King over
the Kingdom
of Heaven
(Gen 1:26) And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea,
and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over
every creeping thing that creepeth upon
the earth.
Adam as King , he has dominion Notice the Dominion is over the things in the earth (Physical)
He has dominion over the whole earth
(Gen 1:27-28) So God created man in his own
image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them,
and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and
multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air,
and over every living thing that moveth upon the
earth.
GOD HAS PLAN FOR MR. AND MRS. ADAM
(Gen 5:2) Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called
their name Adam, in the day when they were created.
(Gen 2:22-23) And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she
shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
b. God gave Adam
the Commissio
n over both
Kingdoms
UNDERSTANDING THE COMMISSION
God basically says “I want you to fill the
earth with a spiritual race of people who will
willingly choose to glorify and worship me because they love me”
COMPREHENDING THE PRIVILEGE
At this point Adam has the ability to
populate the Kingdom with “Son of God”
REMEMBER THE ENEMY Before Adam ever was created in the Garden, Lucifer has made himself the enemy of God in that vary place As soon as God took Adam from the dust of the ground and gave him the kingdoms, he was the sworn enemy of Satan Satan would have immediately set his sights on destroying God’s plan through Adam As a result he approaches the woman and causes them to sin and lose the kingdom
VI. The Splitting of these
Kingdoms
A. Kingdom of God?
1. Adam dies
spiritually and
loses the Image of
God
(Gen 2:17) But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not
eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
(Gen 5:2-3) Male and female created he them; and blessed
them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.
And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in
his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:
2. As a result he loses the crown to
the “Kingdo
m of God”
3. When Adam loses the crown
to the kingdom,
no man can wear it
unless he has the
Image of God
(2Co 4:4) In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the
light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
(Col 1:15) Who is the image of the invisible
God, the firstborn of every creature:
(Heb 1:3) Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the
Majesty on high;(Joh 1:14) And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us,
(and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and
truth.
4. The Kingdom
leaves this plant and doesn’t
return until Christ
shows up
(Mar 1:14-15) Now after that John was put in
prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the
gospel of the kingdom of God, And saying, The time is fulfilled, and
the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and
believe the gospel.
(Joh 4:23-24) But the hour cometh, and now
is, when the true worshippers shall
worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for
the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that
worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
(1Co 15:45-47) And so it is written, The first man Adam
was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a
quickening spirit. Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. The first man is of the earth, earthy:
the second man is the Lord from heaven.
5. The promise to restore the kingdom
(Gen 3:15) And I will put enmity
between thee and the woman, and
between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his
heel.
(Luk 19:10) For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which
was lost.
(Joh 1:12-13) But as many as received him, to them gave he power to
become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but
of God.
(1Jn 3:2) Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet
appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall
be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
