Download or read book The Kingdom from God written by Ross McCallum Jones and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2019-11-15 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While translating the Bible into Boko, a language of Benin Republic in West Africa, Dr Jones grappled with the meaning of the expression ‘kingdom of God’. It seemed impossible to find an expression in Boko which would convey the correct meaning in its various contexts. What could it mean to enter or inherit the kingdom of God? Why did Jesus say the kingdom of God is near, or among people? How do we expect the prayer ‘your kingdom come’ to be worked out? Jesus said we should be concerned above all with God’s kingdom, and yet on questioning Christians and pastors, local and international, I few people are able to explain the meaning and relevance of the kingdom of God. Those who do know something usually interpret the kingdom according to their view of the millennium, resulting in very different interpretations of end-time events. Some interpret the kingdom as God’s sovereignty over the universe, others as ‘God’s rule in our hearts’, ‘Christ’s present salvation and its benefits’, or ‘the new life in Christ’. Many think of heaven as our destination, and the kingdom becomes a shadowy doctrine, rather than the glorious truth that God has made the saints to be a kingdom of priests who will reign with the Messiah over the earth. This new look at the theology of the kingdom of God clarifies many of the riddles concerning the kingdom and presents a new understanding of Jesus and his ministry as the Messiah. The book explains clearly what Jesus meant by this unique and cryptic phrase, and it makes sense in every context. The kingdom is truly a pearl of great price to be eagerly awaited as the return of the Messiah draws ever nearer.

Download or read book Thy Kingdom Come written by Harold L. Patterson and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2008-12 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thy Kingdom Come is a panoramic overview of the present reign of Jesus Christ at the right hand of God the Father and of the future consummation of that reign. It presents three authoritative apostolic New Testament guidelines for the interpretation of the Old Testament prophecies. It fairly examines the three main positions on the millennium and offers scriptural conclusions that incorporate elements of truth from all three. Detailed expositions of the 110th Psalm and the book of Revelation are based on the apostolic guidelines. Harold Patterson was born in Portland, Oregon in 1920. In 1942 he was appointed as a Patrol Inspector in the Immigration Border Patrol, and was assigned to work on the Mexican border in Southern California. His career as a Border Patrolman was interrupted by military service during WW II. During his military service he met and married Shirley Van Hamm in Denver, Colorado. In 1951 Harold and Shirley enrolled in BIOLA Bible College in Los Angeles. After graduation they accepted teaching positions in Taholah, Washington on the Quinault Indian Reservation. They remained in Taholah for 17 years and served the Indian community in various ways during that time. To upgrade his professional skills Harold earned the Bachelor of Education degree at Seattle Pacific University and the Master of Education degree at the University of Washington. In 1972 Mr. Patterson was appointed Associate Supervisor of Indian Education for the State of Washington, and served in that capacity for nine years. He also served as a lay minister and Bible teacher in various churches. In 1972 the Pattersons moved to a ranch at Brooklyn, Washington. Throughout the years Harold maintained a very close relationship with the Quinault people, and in 2005 he was adopted as an enrolled member of the Quinault Indian Nation.

Download or read book Thy Kingdom Come written by T. M. Schryver and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2015-05-22 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: . . . Surely, I come quickly. - Revelation 22:20 When Christ was with His disciples prior to the beginning of the Church at Pentecost, He taught them the great doctrines that they should know and pass on after His death and resurrection. Among those important teachings were the fact that every man and woman are sinners; all need the Savior to be their own Redeemer; and that He, Jesus Christ will come to earth a second time to set up and rule over His earthly Kingdom. For three centuries these were the main teachings of the Church. Then, around 300 A.D., some men opposed many of Christs teachings, especially concerning His promise about the coming Kingdom on the earth and caused this great doctrine to be removed from the Church. The coming Millennial Kingdom is the leading subject of the preaching of John the Baptist, Jesus Christ, and the Apostles. Its teaching embraces a larger portion of Scripture revelation than all other subjects combined! If youre a Christian, you need to be looking for Christs call to you heavenward. Hes even at the door! Hopefully, this book will help to get you ready to meet Christ when He calls and it will be sooner than you think!

Download or read book Kingdom Come written by Christopher D. Marshall and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2015-08-20 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years the theme of the kingdom of God has come to the forefront in the preaching, teaching, and popular writing of Christians of all theological persuasions. Any attempt to gain clarity on the biblical meaning of the phrase the "kingdom of God" must take the teaching of Jesus as its major point of reference; for the prominence of kingdom terminology today is directly attributable to the great frequency with which he appealed in his teaching to the notion of God's kingdom. In this little book, the author sets Jesus' proclamation of the kingdom of God against its Jewish background and discusses some of the characteristic emphases that appear in Jesus' message. He then identifies three broad ways in which God's kingdom operated in Jesus' ministry, which he suggests provide, at least in broad outline, an agenda for the Church today as it strives to bear witness to the "gospel of the kingdom" entrusted to it by its Lord.

It is proclaimed at celebrations, cried in times of war, whispered in the face of death. In a society where people are bombarded by worry and concern, violence and evil, it is so important to meet with the Heavenly Father in the intimate solitude of prayer. Pastor Philip Ryken urges readers to recognize the power that the Lord's Prayer holds. This model reminds us that God is our protector and provider. It expresses our every need and gratitude to the one who graciously provides. By intently studying and applying this passage, Christians will recognize that this pattern of prayer holds the promise of a changed life.

Download or read book The Highlands of Heaven written by Mark Baird and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2022-10-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The belief that one day a Divine Being will come and live among us on earth is believed by most of the world's major religions, and by a myriad of indigenous religions too. But only in the Jewish and Christian bibles do we find a wealth of descriptive and explanatory scripture about this God-man, the Messiah. In Hinduism there is the story of the god, Vishnu, coming back in the last cycle of time as a figure whose coming will look like a tremendous comet, riding a white horse and carrying a sword to destroy the forces of evil. And in Islam, the end of this age is referred to as the Hour and involves the Messiah (Issa) returning to slay an evil, worldwide ruler, who has put the planet in peril. With this evil dictator out of the picture, a period of perfect harmony will ensue. -- And a myriad of indigenous beliefs also mention our Maker coming from heaven to bring peace and harmony to our world. -- Judaism and Christianity refer to this divine being as the Messiah, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. In the Bible, frequent mentions of this Holy Savior are described in magnificent details, unlike in anyother religious texts. The Creator of Existence is coming back and bringing righteousness and peace to a cleansed and beautified new earth. -- The ancient prophets of all major faiths have made this prediction about the coming of a holy, heavenly ruler who will put an end to evil, and restore the earth to its fullest beauty. This righteous Ruler will descend to earth at just the right moment when all seems lost. He will triumph over evil and all who practice it. Those who eagerly receive Him will be blessed and welcomed into His earthly Kingdom. Within this book, is a crowd of ancient promises and predictions about the very time in which we now live. What we see happening in the world around us is all right there! But what will blow your mind are what is going to occur soon afterward. I hope that it will make you burst with expectation and excitement! Mark Baird

Download or read book The Prayer That Turns the World Upside Down written by R. Albert Mohler and published by HarperChristian + ORM. This book was released on 2018-01-23 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Our Father, who art in heaven….” The opening words of the Lord’s Prayer have become so familiar that we often speak them without a thought, sometimes without any awareness that we are speaking at all. But to the disciples who first heard these words from Jesus, the prayer was a thunderbolt, a radical new way to pray that changed them and the course of history. Far from a safe series of comforting words, the Lord’s Prayer makes extraordinary claims, topples every earthly power, and announces God’s reign over all things in heaven and on earth. In this groundbreaking new book, R. Albert Mohler Jr. recaptures the urgency and transformational nature of the prayer, revealing once again its remarkable, world-upending power. Step by step, phrase by phrase, The Prayer That Turns the World Upside Down explains what these words mean and how we are to pray them. The Lord’s Prayer is the most powerful prayer in the Bible, taught by Jesus to those closest to him. We desperately need to relearn its power and practice. The Prayer That Turns the World Upside Down shows us how.
