What’s your question? for Oct. 13, 2010

 

When was Christ’s kingdom established?

Daniel said the kingdom would be established during the fourth world empire, beginning with the Babylonian – which was the Roman empire (Dan. 2:32-45). Later, he used four beasts to represent the same empires. Premillennial speculators have said the ten toes (which Daniel says nothing about) represented 10 common market nations, but now there are 27! John the Baptist said the kingdom was at hand (Mt. 3:2). After His baptism, Jesus said the kingdom was at hand (Mt. 4:17). He explained that by saying some who heard Him would be alive when it was established (Mk. 9:1). Peter said Jesus was raised to sit on David’s throne (Acts 2:29-31). Jesus said those born of water and the Spirit are in the kingdom (Jn. 3:5), and Paul said the Colossians were in it (Col. 1:13).
