Why did Matthew portray Jesus as the messiah and king?

Matthew begins his gospel by presenting the lineage of Jesus. The genealogy shows that Jesus is a legal descendant of David through the royal line. Matthew uses many Old Testament prophecies ( eg Zech 9:9 Isaiah7:14 ) to show that Jesus is the King of Israel and the promised messiah, therefore showing that Jesus is the Messiah-King of Israel. Matthew introduces the phrase "the King of the Jews in chapter 2:1-2, at the beginning of Jesus' life when magi from the east arrive in Jerusalem and ask "Where is He who has been born King of the Jews?" The phrase is also used again at the end of Jesus' life during His trial and crucifixion "THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS." The book of Matthew makes more mentions of the "kingdom of heaven" of "kingdom of God" than any of the other Gospels. Jesus repeatedly proclaims the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand and tells many parables about the kingdom

When was Jesus Christ crowned king of kings?

Jesus never came to establish a kingdom on earth.Answer:Although the Kingdom of God is not yet established on earth, Jesus established Himself as its King when He successfully rejected all of Satan's temptations and rebuked him in the end... and Satan obeyed Him and left.It wasn't until THEN that Jesus' earthly ministry could start, and He began to preach the coming Kingdom of God - BECAUSE IT NOW HAD A KING TO RULE IT!In his brief summary, Mark says, following Jesus' baptism: "...immediately the Spirit driveth Him into the wilderness. And He was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto Him. Now after that John was put into prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the Kingdom of God..." (Mark 1:12-14).Jesus was the qualified King of His coming Kingdom from that point on... though no one knew it. He even testified of it to a group of hypocritical Pharisees who demanded of Him to produce the Kingdom He was promising:"...the Kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! Or, lo there! For, behold, the Kingdom of God is within you." (Luke 17:20-21)This unfortunate translation in the King James Version of the Bible has caused a lot of misunderstanding over the centuries. To even imagine that Jesus Christ would tell a bunch of hate-filled, murderous, hypocritical Pharisees who are out to kill Him that they have the Kingdom of God is within them is absurd, to say the least.The correct translation of Jesus' statement should be: "For, behold, the Kingdom of God is in the midst of you."In the Bible, the word "king" and "kingdom" are synonymous with each other, as demonstrated in Daniel 2 when Nebuchadnezzar is told that the gold head of the metallic man in his dream was he, himself:"...Thou art this head of gold..." (Dan.2:38).In the next verse: "...and after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee..." (verse 39) - Daniel refers to the next king as a "kingdom."As the king is, so is his kingdom... and vice versa.It's with this understanding that Jesus spoke to the Pharisees. Not that the Kingdom of God, which they wanted to see, was within them and therefore out of sight... but that He, Jesus Christ Himself, WAS THE KINGDOM OF GOD STANDING RIGHT THERE IN THEIR MIDST... and they couldn't see it.Jesus is established King of kings and Lord of lords.

The law of God - where does it come from?

It is a fundamental principle that all law comes from and applies only to the jurisdiction in which it is enacted and Scripture says that Jesus often spoke about the Kingdom of Heaven and just before He was crucified He claimed to be a King when Pilate asked Him "'are you the King of the Jews? … Jesus ed, 'my kingdom is not of this world; …. Pilate said to him, 'So you are a king?' Jesus ed, 'You say that I am a king. For this I was born, and for this I have come into the world, to bear witness to the truth. Every one who is of the truth hears my voice.' (John Ch 18)Therefore the Law of God must come from and relate only to the Kingdom of Heaven where Jesus Christ is King? and indeed following on from this Jesus said "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me"

The Kingdom of God is with-in you - where is that scripture?

It's found in Luke 17:21.This is, however, an unfortunate translation in the King James Bible, when you consider to whom Jesus is speaking:"And when He was DEMANDED OF THE PHARISEES, when the Kingdom of God should come, He answered THEM and said..." (verse 20).These are the same ones, along with the scribes, to whom Jesus in another place said:"...woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, HYPOCRITES! For ye shut up the Kingdom of Heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in." (Matt.23:13)Jesus reveals that the Kingdom of God is something "we enter into"... not, it enters into us.Jesus told the Pharisee, Nicodemus: "...Except a man be born again, he cannot SEE the Kingdom of God." (John 3:3)"...Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot ENTER INTO the Kingdom of God." (verse 5)The Bible makes it clear that the coming Kingdom of God is something that we ENTER INTO... not, it into us.But, most of all... Jesus NEVER would have told the Pharisees, who were HYPOCRITES, and a GENERATION OF VIPERS out to kill Him -- that the Kingdom of God was within THEM.Some translations, like the RSV, say correctly: "...the Kingdom of God is IN THE MIDST OF YOU." (Luke 17:21)Jesus was speaking of HIMSELF, the KING of the coming Kingdom of God... who stood in their midst... because THEY HAD NO CLUE AS TO WHO HE WAS!In Daniel's prophetic book, "king" and "kingdom" are used interchangeably for each other. A king and his kingdom are the same. A kingdom is as the king is.In his interpretation of the composite metals of the "metalic man" in Nebuchadnezzar's dream, Daniel tells him:"...THOU [he, Nebuchanezzar the KING] art this head of gold." (Dan.2:38)"And after thee shall arise another KINGDOM [less precious metal, silver]inferior to thee, and another third KINGDOM of brass... and the fourth KINGDOM shall be as strong as iron..." (verses 39-40).The terms "king" and "kingdom" are synonymous with each other. And, Jesus, the King... the personification of the Kingdom of God... who stood in the midst of those hypocritical [and blinded] Pharisees.
