To reiterate, the overall theme of the Bible throughout, from Genesis to Revelation, is God’s story of His intent to set up in this World’s realm a Theocratic Government through holy mankind. This is the meaning or backdrop behind all of the Kingdom/Empire references throughout Scripture. Besides the great ignorance of the Church on what the Kingdom is and when it will come, there is the ignorance of the offering and Postponement of the Kingdom. These are most needed understandings. Knowing that the Gospel given by John answers to God’s Kingdom Call, we pause for a moment and review its significance.

God’s Kingdom call in this world for a Theocratic Government is first manifest with the creation of Man. After the failing of Adam, God had a plan that not only answered to Adam’s fall, but to the previous fall of Lucifer. His plan was to have a People who would replace the existing satanic government which now is, and which came about as a result of Adam’s surrender of authority. God chose a people from the seed of Abraham to realize His Kingdom and Government, Abraham being to whom God gave the irrevocable promise, and then again to King David to his seed, that He would finally realize His Kingdom of ruling priests through and possess the gate of his enemy. (Genesis 22, Psalm 132:11) Because of their seeds’ persistence in unbelief, God finally took from them their appointed authority in the Earth in measured judgment, and gave it to the Gentiles, and sent Israel into captivity for a specified time under the authority of the Gentile King of Babylon; Nebuchadnezzar. A judgment from which they have never yet recovered God’s Kingdom authority in the Earth. It had been lost and perpetuated then to succeeding heathen Gentile Empires. Although they were historically partially restored back to the Land of promise; they have never again obtained God’s Kingdom authority. The Jews being back in the Land, but under the rule of the Roman Empire 2000 years ago at the time of Jesus First Coming. Old Testament prophets testify to Israel being once again and forever established as His Theocratic Government in the World (King David and his Kingdom being Scriptures typical example of God’s intent).

“But when the fullness of time (according to the prophecy given to Daniel 9:24-25) come, God sent His Son…” [Galatians 4:4] Jesus was the incarnated Son, being then the prophesied Seed of Abraham and David; anointed of the Father without measure with the Holy Spirit and appointed as the King of Israel and thereby to be King over all Gentile Nations, to establish God’s Theocratic Government in this Earth.

The Gospel by John the Apostle was written some time after the Resurrection of Jesus, and it set before the Jews first, and by extension in time to us Christians, the ‘signs’ accompanying Jesus the Son of God and Son of Man in the Power of the Hoy Spirit. These signs were written in order to validate Him as God’s Sent One to the Jews and lead Israel into repentance and restoration in further realization of the Kingdom with His Theocratic Government in this World, to be a Nation of priests ruling in the Name of God. Christ being to Whom He gave the Anointing and all authority to Baptize them in the Holy Spirit in order to sanctify Israel upon their acceptance of Him as their Messiah and repentance for centuries of unbelief and fulfill the necessary call to holiness upon them.

And so it was, that the Messiah manifest in the exact time Daniel had prophesied, as that time of the restored Kingdom had drawn nigh. The restored Theocratic Government was the emphasis behind Christ’s instructive prayer to His early Jewish disciples: “Our Father, which art in Heaven, Hallowed be thy Name. Thy Kingdom Come. Thy will be done in earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not in to temptation, but deliver us from evil (the evil one): For thine is the Kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever.”

It was with this calling in view (the Promised Kingdom) that Jesus cried out to the Jews in the Temple on the Great Day of the Feast… “If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the Scripture hath said, out of his (His actually refers to Jesus) belly shall flow rivers of living water.” [John 7:37] God doesn’t call the unsaved, but the saved to His Theocratic Government. For Israel had already been saved/justified by the blood of the Passover lambs. Therefore, He was.....
