When Will the Kingdom of God Come?

Grace Fellowship Church

Closing Thought- God is King, ruling over all His creation -His material and temporal world- with complete sovereignty and authority. God also rules over His spiritual and eternal world, which He rules by recreation, the souls of those that belong to Him eternally via the salvation He provided through His Son. Since the Fall, the temporal kingdom has been in rebellion against its King, led by Satan. and is headed for utter destruction. The Kingdom of God -eternal in its nature- is growing and expanding and will continue that growth until The Lord Jesus returns. The Kingdom of God that Jesus brought to this earth is the eternal Kingdom of God and is not material in its substance and is entered into by faith in Jesus Christ. The Pharisees were wanting their temporal reality to improve with the entrance of a King and His earthly Kingdom that they were part of. Jesus was letting them know that He is the only way to God the Father, His eternal Kingdom, and that He wasn't here to make their temporal reality any better. We must always remember that Jesus did not come to change His material creation, but rather to save the eternal souls of His people, that they would call Him Lord, and rule and reign with Him for all eternity.
