Mark 1:14-15 NIV
http://bible.com/111/mrk.1.14-15.niv
God created his kingdom, delegates authority to men
Satan deceives man, separates us from God, usurps Gods authority and sets up a counterfeit kingdom
Prophets reveal that God will reestablish and restore his kingdom on earth through a messiah king
God tells David this messiah king will be his heir
THE KINGDOM NOW
Initiated by Jesus and his ministry, proclaiming that the kingdom of God is here
Luke 4:17-21 NIV
http://bible.com/111/luk.4.17-21.niv
THE KINGDOM NOT YET
Luke 19:11-13 NIV
http://bible.com/111/luk.19.11-13.niv
The people were confused because they thought the kingdom would be restored immediately.
Acts 1:6-8 NIV
http://bible.com/111/act.1.6-8.niv
The mystery of the kingdom is that it is both here and now, and not yet
