In this episode Steven discusses the Apostle John's take on the Kingdom of God and how he adjusted the terminology to be more accepted during a time when the Roman Empire was afraid of a Christian uprising and mutiny. John was able to effectively communicate his message without diluting its effectiveness, by using a more specific terminology. 11. John’s Writings (John 18:36). John is the only Gospel writer who records these words of Jesus: “My kingdom is not of this world.” Near the end of the first century, when John was writing his Gospel, Christians were often assailed with the accusation that their goals were not spiritual, but political. The Roman Empire was being filled with reborn citizens of a heavenly kingdom, but their “kingdom of God” terminology could be misunderstood. Thus, John adopts the phrase “eternal life,” as much to show the new quality of life Jesus Christ has brought as to describe its quantity. The idea of “eternal life” describes a divine dimension of life available to mankind, as well as a destined duration of “everlasting” endlessness. The words “eternal life” occur fifteen times in John’s writings, “the kingdom of God” only six. Some have thought John’s relatively infrequent use of “kingdom of God” suggested this message application was confined only to the time of Jesus’ ministry and the birth of “the church age.” Notwithstanding the fact that the birth of the church did introduce a new era in human history, the message of “the gospel of the kingdom” was not changed. For example, see the thrust of its being taught and preached throughout Acts (20:25; 28:23, 30-31). Hayford, Jack W. ; Thomas Nelson Publishers: Hayford's Bible Handbook.

This is a very challenging word many will find hard to accept, but for those open to what the Spirit is saying, will have their thinking challenged.

In this episode (filmed during the Covid-19 Epidemic) Steven discusses the Synonymous Expressions described by Jack W. Hayford with the term "Kingdom of Heaven" found in Matthew vs. Kingdom of God seen throughout the rest of the New Testament. The Apostle Matthew used a distinct language when writing for his predominately Jewish audience, which is discussed and any distinction made is also mentioned. 10. Synonymous Expressions (Matt. 19:23-24). This text uses the phrases “kingdom of heaven” and “kingdom of God” interchangeably. In doing so, it sufficiently demonstrates that the two terms are meant to refer to one and the same thing: the kingdom. Although some make a labored distinction between them, this text and ten others in the Gospels clearly show that the “kingdom of heaven” and “kingdom of God” are verifiably synonyms. Matthew is the only New Testament writer who used the term “kingdom of heaven.” In doing so, he showed a sensitivity toward his originally intended audience of Jewish readers, for whom too frequent a use of the name of “God” would have seemed irreverent. By a variety of terms Matthew refers to “the kingdom” fifty times in his Gospel: thirty-two times as “kingdom of heaven”; five times as “kingdom of God”; four times as the “Father’s” kingdom; and twice as the kingdom of “the Son of Man.” The remaining seven references are simply to “the kingdom” without other designation. This variety in the usage, made by the only one using the phrase “kingdom of heaven,” surely shows these terms to be synonyms for the kingdom.

In this episode, Steven does a solo teaching of the passage in a rare passage within the Gospel of Matthew where Jesus actually uses the phrase, "the Kingdom of God." The passage deals with the Master of a vineyard setting up a vineyard and then leasing it to tenants who take the fruit and success all to themselves, while mistreating the Masters servants and son. The tenants were removed and replaced with new tenants who would be trusted to steward the opportunity well. This passage aimed and the religious leaders of Jesus' day has a larger point to make which can be applied to Christians and Entrepreneurs today more then ever with the World shutdown over Covid-19 and the obvious intended takeover to force a one world system. Christians and Entrepreneurs needed to seize this historic opportunity and get ready to ride the wave of what God has coming in the near future. Matthew 21:33-43 (English Standard Version) The Parable of the Tenants 33 “Hear another parable. There was a master of a house who planted a vineyard and put a fence around it and dug a winepress in it and built a tower and leased it to tenants, and went into another country. 34 When the season for fruit drew near, he sent his servants[a] to the tenants to get his fruit. 35 And the tenants took his servants and beat one, killed another, and stoned another. 36 Again he sent other servants, more than the first. And they did the same to them. 37 Finally he sent his son to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’ 38 But when the tenants saw the son, they said to themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and have his inheritance.’ 39 And they took him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. 40 When therefore the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?” 41 They said to him, “He will put those wretches to a miserable death and let out the vineyard to other tenants who will give him the fruits in their seasons.” 42 Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures: “‘The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone;[b] this was the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes’? 43 Therefore I tell you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people producing its fruits. https://www.kogentrepreneur.com

In this episode (filmed during the Covid-19 Epidemic) what was expected from the arrival of Jesus as King. Using John the baptists words, "Repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand" as a backdrop, Steven looks at the prophesies of Isaiah of what the expected Messiah's reign is to entail. Some of the different variables of interpretation are discussed, but the hope of Kingdom dominion with Jesus as King is what ultimately results in the end. 9. Defining the Hope (Matt. 3:1-2). The New Testament records 137 references to “the kingdom,” and over one hundred of these are during Jesus’ ministry, as His entire teaching and approach as Messiah—the Savior-King—center on this theme. To what does “the kingdom” refer? It refers to God’s sovereign rule in the universe—He is the King of the heavens. (See Gen. 1:1.) But more specifically, here it refers to the entry of God’s long-anticipated Anointed One—the prophesied Messiah, the promised Son of David who would not be the Savior, Deliverer, and King of only Israel, but of all mankind. “The Gentiles” (or all nations)—all flesh—were promised recipients of this hope (Is. 9:6-7; 11:10; 40:5). Declaring the kingdom “at hand,” that is, “drawing near,” John was announcing that the rule of God’s King was about to overthrow the power and rule of all evil—both human and hellish. The “kingdom” was near because the King was here. And His presence, introducing the power of “the kingdom of God,” meant a new world of potential hope to mankind. Man would no more need be held hostage to either the rule of death over mankind, resultant from human sin and sinning, or to the deadening rule of oppressive human systems, political or otherwise. Further, the kingdom of darkness would be confronted and the death, deprivation, disease, and destruction levied by satanic power would begin to be overthrown. As God’s King, Jesus offers the blessing of God’s rule, now available to bring life to every human experience, as well as deliverance from the dominance of either flesh or the Devil.

Matthew 12:25 New King James Version (NKJV) 25 But Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand. https://www.facebook.com/TheMountZionBaptist/ https://www.kogentrepreneur.com
