The Kingdom: From Creation to the Millennium

The Kingdom: From Creation to the Millennium

The Gospel of the Kingdom is so central to the message of the Bible that Scripture itself cannot be understood apart from grasping the meaning, the history, and the future of the Kingdom of God. So often understood as little more than the message of salvation and escape from hell to eternal life in heaven, the Kingdom is the central focus of God's plan from creation to the final judgment. The Kingdom examines this vital concept in great detail, explaining the meaning of the Kingdom, the purpose for the creation of man, and the history and future of the kingdom. The goal of salvation was never escape to a heavenly paradise, but restoration of God's original plan for the earth and for humanity. Being born again was only the beginning, the initiatory rite to full citizenship in a vice-regency with God as king and mankind as his representatives.
