teaching the beatitudes
Jesus is in God's kingdom. (Earth)
The Bible tells us to teach people about God, and his purpose to establish his kingdom on earth. (Lords prayer..' thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven...' This follows the example of Jesus Christ.
Jesus was not from David's seed.see related link "The Infancy of Christ"Answer:Yes. Christ will return for that part after the Gospel is preached to every land on Earth. Note: Jesus, was from David's seed from Mary as well as Joseph although is father was actually God via the Holy Spirit.
According to Christian beliefs, the prophecy of Jesus reigning for 1000 years will be fulfilled through the Second Coming of Christ, where Jesus will establish a peaceful and just kingdom on Earth for a millennium, as described in the Book of Revelation in the Bible. This period is known as the Millennial Reign or the Millennial Kingdom.
To establish God's Kingdom on Earth.
Jesus began His public ministry because this is what He came to earth to do - it was His mission.
The reign of God means his own kingdom in heaven and his kingdom on earth the church.
Jesus is speaking of the spiritual church, it lives within us. Not of sand, its the spirit of faith in him. And not of this earth.
The "Paradise" in question was Jesus' reply to the thief's plea to Him to remember him:"...when you come into your Kingdom." (verse 42)The age-old argument among men of the placement of the punctuation around the word "today" seems to have superceded the context of what was being said. The punctuation [which was added when the original manuscripts were translated] takes care of itself when the subject of their conversation is understood.The remote possibility of entering into the Kingdom of God was the thief's concern. Evidently, he had heard Jesus' speak to the crowds at some time in the past... and he heard [and believed] Jesus' message about the "good news" [gospel] of the coming Kingdom that He will establish on earth, according to the prophecies.While the world, today, remains blinded to the Truth of Jesus' message to mankind regarding His coming Kingdom... the thief grasped it in his mind and heart, and BELIEVED IT! He was talking about WHEN JESUS WOULD ENTER INTO HIS KINGDOM that the thief humbly asked Jesus to "remember him."And WHEN did Jesus enter into His Kingdom? HE HASN'T DONE IT YET! It's still a future event that awaits Jesus' return. The THRONE of Jesus' Kingdom is KING DAVID's THRONE, which used to be in Jerusalem."...call His name Jesus. He shall be Great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the LORD God shall GIVE UNTO HIM THE THRONE OF HIS FATHER DAVID..." (Luke 1:31-32 KJV).Jesus Christ is coming back to re-establish David's throne in Jerusalem... to restore God's Kingdom to the earth! But it hasn't happened yet.So, neither Jesus nor the thief were in the "Paradise" of the Kingdom of God THAT DAY! That day... they BOTH DIED AND WERE BURIED!And to THIS DAY... neither Jesus nor the thief is in Christ's Kingdom, yet.So, the punctuation of the passage should be such that it should not be interpreted to mean that Jesus and the thief were both in Christ's Kingdom on THAT VERY DAY OF BOTH OF THEIR DEATHS... they couldn't be because they were both dead. But that Jesus put the Humble, Faithful, Believing thief's mind to rest regarding the future time when Jesus would establish His throne and Kingdom on earth [a time yet future to us, today], in Jerusalem, the place from whence David ruled:"I solemnly say to you this very day, YOU WILL BE IN PARADISE [the Kingdom of which you speak] WITH ME."
apostle
Belief in God as the omnipotent (holy, without sin) creator. The Bible is the inspired Word of God and contains no errors. Jesus was born to a virgin. Jesus lived a sinless life. Jesus died on a cross and rose from the dead. Anyone who believes will go to heaven, while the disbelievers go to hell. Jesus will come back again and establish a kingdom on earth.
The Messianic Kingdom of God refers to a future belief in some religious traditions where a messiah or chosen one will establish a kingdom on Earth ruled in accordance with God's will, bringing peace and justice. This concept is often associated with prophecies in the Abrahamic religions such as Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
