Kingdom of God, Heaven, Christ

Hi all,

Welcome to my blog....you must be bored....lol


I am starting a study on the Kingdom. In the NT we have different terms used with the word Kingdom...kingdom of Heaven, kingdom of God, kingdom of Christ....we could also talk about the kingdom of Israel or David, but in NT times that kingdom was subjegated to the Roman Empire.

I thought that I would post on my blog here as I did my study.

The first thing I do when I start a topic study like this is to go to the Greek helps I have. Then go to the Everyman's Greek Concordance to look up similar passages.

In the Vine's article on kingdom, he writes that of the three main NT terms, Kingdom of God is the over all term. It applies to all the universe at it's widest context. In particular all those who submit to God as ruler, king over their lives are in the kingdom of God., therefor to all believers in God.

The kingdom of heaven, Vine's says, is in reference to the physical nation of Israel only.

And the kingdom of Christ to those who follow Christ alone.

I will post that article next time.
