The Kingdom

The Kingdom …  we are all striving for the kingdom aren't we?  We know this world is NOT the world we comprehend should exist.

Mankind has constantly strived towards a kingdom that is good, just, and right. Laws of all sorts have been made in every kingdom that has ever existed. Laws to control the behavior of people according to the one or the ones making the laws of that particular kingdom.  In every land the kings, the rulers, the leaders whoever they are want the best possible kingdom to exist under them.  Do they always succeed, actually they never have. There has not been a single king, ruler, leader of any kingdom, land, people that has been able to produce perfect peace and harmony throughout their land. Some kings and rulers have done better than others, but none have achieved perfection.  Perfection will NOT exist until Satan is destroyed.

Let's study more about the kingdom. We're going to start out by reading through almost all the verses on the kingdom in the New Testament.

Then tomorrow, by the grace of our God we will study them more in depth.
