Episode 2.25

What is the Kingdom of God—and why did Jesus talk about it more than anything else?

In this sweeping theological overview, we trace the storyline of the Kingdom from Genesis to Revelation. Far from being just a future hope or personal ethic, the Kingdom is the core of the gospel. It's the announcement that God reigns—through Jesus, the true King.

We explore how the Kingdom was commissioned at creation, promised through Abraham, foreshadowed in Israel, inaugurated by Jesus, and will one day be fully realized in the new creation. We also confront common misconceptions and clarify the role of the Church as a witness to the Kingdom, not its fulfillment.

Topics include:

-The meaning of “Kingdom of God”

-The Kingdom across the Bible’s timeline

-Jesus as the enthroned King through crucifixion and resurrection

-The “Already / Not Yet” tension

-How the Church embodies and proclaims the Kingdom

-The Gospel as a royal announcement

Whether you’re new to the Bible or looking to deepen your understanding, this episode offers a rich, unified vision of God’s redemptive reign.
