At the beginning of this series of messages we talked about the importance of concepts in order to communicate our ideas. Note that God the Creator chose the concept of a Kingdom to communicate His purpose, will and plan for mankind and all the earth. The message of the Bible is primarily about a Kingdom. If we do not understand kingdoms, it is impossible for us to understand the Bible and its message. Over the past 200 years the true concept of kingdom has been lost, especially since the advent of modern governments. Those new governments they have been built on new concepts of governing, for example, democracy, socialism, communism, tyrannies, dictatorships and so on. Through out the history many kingdoms have dark histories of atrocities and oppression. The original concept of kingdom as introduce by God Himself, stands alone as the perfect prototype of government built on righteous judgment. All the kingdoms of the earth were mere attempts to imitate this perfect Kingdom of God. |
