The Gospel of The Kingdom of God/Heaven:
A. 1. In the beginning, God created the heavens and earth and every living thing. We chose to rebel against our creator(Genesis 1, 2, 3).
Because of sin against God, we lost of sense of our purpose as creations of God(Genesis 1, 9), and we stirred God's wrath against us(Deuteronomy 30). God reward people according to their works and we deserve death. The wages of sin is death.(Isaiah 40)(Romans 6)
Sin separates us from walking in the likeness of our creator, our heavenly father, God. We should worship him and serve him(Genesis 1, Genesis 9). We should love God and value every word that proceeds from his mouth above all else(Deuteronomy 6, Deuteronomy 8).
Without God, we have no guiding light of wisdom that shows us what we should be doing, neither do we have peace, joy, or life.
On judgement day, everyone who ever lived will be resurrected. Some will rise to everlasting joy and other to everlasting shame and sorrow. (Daniel 12)
By the way, "heaven" is common a referred to God in the Bible because Israelites considered God's name to be to holy to say most of the time and also because the divine messiah comes on the clouds of heaven when he judges the kingdoms of earth, before he ressurrects and remakes creation. Some of humanity will be redeemed from sin and others will not. Some will rise to everlasting joy and others will rise to everlasting contempt and shame.(Daniel 7, 12)
2. God's adopted children, those who inherit God's Kingdom of Heaven and earth as a possession, with God as the ruler whom all the children of kingdom worship and serve, they will have joy, but those who do not inherit the kingdom will have innumerable sufferings in the lake of fire prepared for Satan and anyone who is not written in the lamb's book of life(Matthew 24, 25) (Mark 13)(Revelation 20, 21,22)(Isaiah 25, 26, 66)
This is the pre-election of the Father(Matthew 11).
Pre-election of the Father is explained through the parables of sowing and reaping:
God is lord of the harvest. The Righteous who believe in him because he opened their eyes are good trees that bear good fruit. Everyone else are bad trees that bear bad fruit, everyone that does not bear fruit is thrown into the fire(Matthew 7, Matthew 9)(Matthew 13).
B.SINCE THE WORLD IS UNDER THE CURSE OF SIN, EVEN BEFORE MAN'S FALL HE HAD A PLAN TO BRING BLESSINGS TO ALL THE NATIONS.
THE BLESSING WOULD COME THROUGH A SUPREME AND RIGHTEOUS RULER, AND THIS RULER WOULD COME THROUGH THE SEED OF MAN:
God brought blessings to the world, through a perfectly righteous ruler whose dominion and kingdom is heaven and earth, and this ruler will punish sin and also save a chosen few from their sin and the tragic death, suffering and separation from God that it brings, through the restoration of creation. (Genesis 1) (Numbers 24) (2 Samuel 7) (Psalms 2, psalms 45, psalms 50, psalms 72)(Isaiah 7, 9, 11, 17, 24, 32, 33, 34, 40, 41, 42, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53)(Jeremiah 23, 32, 33)(Daniel 7, 8,9)(Zecheniah 14)(Micah 5)
God says that he is Father to him and that this blessed ruler is a Son to him. He is called a Son because he is the perfect refelction of God's greatness since he is one of the almighty ones who has eternally existed and created the heavens and the earth. "Let us make man in our image" and "Because man was made in the image of God (Genesis 1, Genesis 9).
God says this blessed ruler would come to the world through the seed of a woman, through the seed of King David (Genesis 1) (Numbers 24) (2 Samuel 7) (Psalsm 2, psalsm 45, pslams 50, psalsm 72)(Isaiah 7, 9, 11, 17, 24, 32, 33, 34, 40, 41, 42, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53)(Jeremiah 23, 32, 33)(Daniel 7, 8,9)(Zecheniah 14)(Micah 5). His reign is forever, he brings righteousness and the effect of his righteousness is peace and joy in God.
God came as a pillar of cloud and fire to the Israelites when he freed them from the harsh bondage Egypt(Exodus 13, 14). When he came to ultimately save, he came
C. How does The Son of God, Christ Jesus, save people? He came to earth and died on a cross for our sins(John 3)(John 6)Matthew 12) (Matthew 16). Those who believe that God is salvation, having their eyes opened by the God the Father, which allows the Holy spirit to lead them, will be saved. Those who believe God is salvation, their sole value in life, will have a heart that wants to worship and serve God. (Matthew 11)(John 14)
If you love me, keep my commandments(John 14)
3. Looking at the books of Moses, judges, prophets, and psalms, what is the proper relationship between God and man?
What is the meaning of life? The chief end of man?
Humans made to worship and serve God's will. God is the heavenly father. As his creation, we exist to follow him. He is the potter nd we are the clay, made to be molded to his will, his perfect image(Genesis 1)(Genesis 15)(Genesis 17)(Deuteronomy 28 and 29)(Deuteronomy 30)(Deuteronomy 32)(Isaiah 45) (Isaiah 64)(Jeremiah 18).
We have strayed from God is who made us and the are judgement of God for sin is death and suffering. (Psalms 1) (psalms 5)(psalms)(psalms 9)(psalms 11)(psalms 22)( psalms 32)(psalms 145)(Matthew 25)(Mark 13) (Revelation 20, 21, 22)
4. God is salvation and sin is our destruction.
(Genesis 6) (Deuteronomy 6 )(Deuteronomy 8) (Deuteronomy 30)(psalms 22)
God is our life, the light of wisdom and truth, goodness.
(psalms chapters 18 ,19,20) (psalms chapters 26, 32, 33, 34,111, 118) (Psalms chapters 119, 145, 150)
He holds everything in his hands (psalms 66, 139, 147)
5. If we believe that God is salvation then we believe that his given Son is salvation, who bears our sins and transforms us into a new, sinless creature as well as heaven and earth in future days. (Matthew 1)( Isaiah chapters 7, 9, 11, 12, 13, 17, 24, 32, 33, 34, 40, 41, 42.)(Isaiah 49-54)(John 3) (John 6)( John 8) John 10)(John 14) (John 15) (john 16) (john 17) (Matthew 10)(psams 118)
Repent and be saved from your sin, for the kingdom of God is at hand. (Matthew 2, Matthew 3, Matthew 4)
Through Israel, Abraham's grandchildren, the families of the earth were blessed through a ruler who has endless dominion and authority over all creation, who would judge the world for sin, and bring salvation for many and would be called the "Son of God". This person is also refers to as the Arm of the lord and is none other than almighty God himself, one the divine persons that created the universe. From "Elohim", the group of eternal, almighty persons, he was sent forth. (psalms 2,5, 9,10,11) (Psalms 45, 50, 72)(psalms 91) (psalms 96, psalms 97, psalms 98)(psalms 118)
Only the Father knows the Son and can reveal the Son's nature to us (Matthew 11). Believers allow the Holy Spirit guides their hearts (1 Samuel 10, Isaiah 11, Isaiah 66, John 14) instead of rejecting his guidance(Matthew 12). The totally of God(elohim) is the Father, Son and Holy spirit.
You must be born again through the Holy Spirit of God(John 3). When you know God for who he really is(Jeremiah 23, Jeremiah 24) he will put his spirit in you and cause you to walk in his ways(Ezekiel 34, 36)
If you have the son, you have the father also, and the Holy spirit as well. If you deny the son then you deny the Father and the Holy spirit.(1 John 2).
Whoever has the son has life. Whoever does not have the son does not have life.(1 John 5)
Besides Christ Jesus, There is no other name, given under heaven by which we can be saved. (Acts 4)
If you know God, you have salvation.(John 17) Those who know God, know that he is salvation (Matthew 1)(John 1)
Know elohim through the Son(Matthew 11) and by Father's Mercy, guided by the Holy spirit (John 14).
No one comes to the Father except by the Son. To know the Son is to know the Father. (John 14)
6. The missionary purpose of israel, their failure and their salvation through the Son of God.
A. God called Israel to be a nation of priests and attract other nations to God. (exodus 19)
The house of God is a house of prayer for all people (exodus 13) (exodus 14)(Leviticus 17) (Isaiah 56)
B. They rebelled: Psalms 105
C. They were punished with famine, plague, the sword and captivity: (Deutoronomy 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33)(Isaiah 1, 3, 5, 42, 54)(Jeremiah 8,15,24,25,29)(Ezekiel 18, 19, 20 , 21, 22, 23)
There are also some of the israelites, the poor farmers, who never left the land, as God promised they would not(Deuteronomy 15).
D. God would save people through a ruler. This ruler would have all authority and dominion because he is God, One of the almighty(elohim). For this reason, he is called, the Son of God. He comes to reward everyone according to their work, punishing all the sons of wickedness and bring salvation to his saints. "The meek he will gently correct", "he will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth", "with the breath of his lips he will slay the wicked".
(Isaiah 11, 12)
(Isaiah chapters 13-35) (Isaiah 36-39)(Isaiah chapters 40-66)
He would humble himself by coming through seed on men, in human flesh, preach the kingdom of God and repentance from sin, die and be raised again for the justification and restoration of sinners whom God the Father has chosen for salvation from before the foundation of the world. They would have a heart of humbleness, confession, repentance, since they see God as their salvation and the Father would open their eyes to the identity and worth of the Son and they would be lead by the Holy spirit towards obeying God and believing in his Son.(Genesis 3, 15, 17, 49) (Leviticus 26) (Number 24) (Deuteronomy 30) (Psalms 2, 22, 45, 50, 51, 69, 72, 89, 92, 93, 96, 97, 98, 99)(Isaiah 7, 9, 11, 12, 25, 26, 40, 41, 42, 49, 59, 62, 63, 66)
E. When they rebelled against God, God promised to scatter them among all nations into captivity to those nations where many would serve other gods. God promised he would regather them from all the nations he scattered them and that the only people who would return to the land would have be those with a changed heart, by the power of the Holy spirit and God would forgive their sins, bring salvation through the Son of God/Arm of the Lord. Theses returned Israelites would whole-heartedly believe that God is their salvation.
(Leviticus 26) (Deuteronomy 27, 28, 29 30, 31,32, 33) (Ezekiel 23, 34, 36)
The nations would see as sign from the land of Israel and come to learn about God and worship him (Isaiah 2, 11). They would put their hope in Jesus and wait on his law( Isaiah 42, 51).
He is called various names such as:
"God with us"(Isaiah 7)
"Wonderful Counselor", "Mighty God", "Everlasting Father", "Prince of Peace"(Isaiah 9)
"the Son"(Daniel 7)
"Most Mighty One"(Psalms 45, 50, 72)
"the Blessed One of God"(Psalms 45, 50, 72)
"The Arm of the Lord"(Isaiah 40, 41, 42,49, 50, 51, 52, 53)
"God's strong hand and Outstreched Arm"(Isaiah 40, 41, 42,49, 50, 51, 52, 53)
"The Holy One"(Daniel 9)
"Son of Man"(Daniel 7)
"the Most High"(Daniel 7)
Israel will be restored and brought back with other people of many nations who will unified together with them in God:
(Deuteronomy 30)(Isaiah 11, 12, 49, 54) (Jeremiah 23, 24,25)(Ezekiel 23,36,37, 38, 39) (Zephaniah 3)
(Isaiah 2)(Isaiah 14, Isaiah 56, Isaiah 61) (Ezekiel 47)(Zechariah 2, Zechariah 8)(Psalms 14, 53, 85)
F. In the last days, God will gather many believers in him to Israel and do great things through them with things like spreading the gospel of salvation from sin and fighting great battles against sinful nations. God will also be punishing sin of all nations and kingdoms.(Isaiah 2)
There will be people hiding in the mountains and under the rocks in order to try to hide themselves from God's wrath against sin. The Bible gives description of the whole earth being devastated and as well as specific countries that surround Israel. (Isaiah 2 )(isaiah 24)(Isaiah 34)(Isaiah 11-34)
All The nations and kingdoms are punished for sin. Some specific sins are listed such as forsaking God, having pride against God, worshiping idols and demons, sexual immorality, theft, murder, complacency. Concordantly, The Israelites were scattered to all nations and kingdoms into captivity for their rebellion against God , so when God saves them from their captivity, the curses of Deuteronomy are removed from the Israelite nation and are put on all the nations and kingdoms of the world. and they are all forced to drink from the cup of God's wrath. (Deuteronomy 30)(Isaiah 24, 49)(Jeremiah 25, 30)(Revelation 6, 9)
(Isaiah chapters 13-35) (Isaiah 36-39)(Isaiah chapters 40-66)
This Is What Happens With The Nations Surrounding the Land Of Israel:
The seacoast area of Israel will devastated, including the Philistine cities like (Ekron, Gath, Ashdod, Ashkelon, Gaza). The Zionist movement composed of fake jews(Synagogue of Satan) and the muslim terrorist groups like Hamas will be dismayed.
The place of Moabites and Ammonites, located in the present day country of "Jordan" will be devastated(Zephaniah 2)(Zechariah 9). No more "west bank" for you.
The children of Ammon will end up being obedient to Israel(Isaiah 11)
The seacoast area will become of dwelling place for the people of Judah. the Southern Kingdom of Judah will return to the land first(Zechariah 9). At the time of God's wrath against all the nations and kingdoms, God will gather Israel from the nations whom they were cursed to serve, the Northern kingdom of Israel, lead by Ephraim, will return to the promised land as well. And of course, people of other nations will accompany the people of Israel as well(Isaiah 11, 14).
There would be hordes of nations that would come against Israel but they would be defeated(Isaiah 29, 30, 31)(Ezekiel 38, 39)(Zecehriah 9, 12, 13, 14). The first one that is called out by name is the "Assyrian".
There would be multiple nations who would form a confederacy in order to fight against Israel, lead by a man who is a ruler some northern countries (and ends up conquering a few other countries). This man will be controlled and empowered by Satan. This man is known as the "man of sin" or "antichrist" and the confederacy of nations against Israel is known as the "beast". (Isaiah 14)(Isaiah 30)(Daniel 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12)(Revelation 11, 12, 13, 17,19)(Ezekiel 38, 39)(Ezekiel 25, 26, 27, 28, 30, 31, 32, 33,34,35, 36, 37)
One member of the confederacy would be punished by God through a destructive attack made by its own allies as well as the people of Israel. (Isaiah 13,14, 34, 59, 62,63) (Revelation 18) (Jeremiah 49, 50) (Ezekiel 25)(Amos 1) (Amos 9). The Son of God would even have his garments drenched in blood because of the killing being done in Arabia.
The people who survive the destruction of Arabia will acknowledge God(Isaiah 45). Moab and Edom will be a possesion(Numbers 24)(isaiah 14).
The rest of the confederacy would invade Israel and then later come to make a final attack against them, because of pride and blasphemy and against God, even the commander of the hosts, but they will be destroyed by the Son of God, the sword of the word of his mouth, raining down fire and hailstones, as he comes down to earth on the clouds of heaven and splits the mount of olives. (Isaiah 11, 30, 31) (Ezekiel 27, 28) (Revelation 11, 12, 13, 17, 18, 19).
When Christ comes to defeat the anti-christ/beast nations, the angels and followers of Christ will be gathered to him at Armageddon/megiddo/valley of Jehoshaphat. This is the place of the anti-christ's/beast's defeat. He will be slain of God's mountains.
The saints, believers in Christ, will participate in the battle with Christ as he comes on the clouds of heaven and defeats the beast/anti-christ (Ezekiel 38)(Daniel 7)(Daniel 11)(Daniel 12)(Joel 2)(Matthew 24)(Revelations 19)
Also, armies of Israelites will destroy the nations of the anti-christ/beast together with Christ (Zechariah 9)(Micah 5)
The defeat of the antichrist/beast comes after 3.5 years of tribulation that occur because of how greatly he persecutes the saints of God(Daniel 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12)(Revelation 11)(Matthew 24)
The people of the antichrist/beast nations who are left as survivors from the destruction God that will bring on those nations will come to worship Christ, the king(Zechariah 14).
