Theology 5 — Kingdom Hope

1 hour 3 minutes

We now begin a series of four lectures on the eternal destiny of the righteous and the wicked, including the kingdom and the judgement. For today we are going to focus on what God promises for his own people in the age to come. We’ll cruise through the entire bible (right from Genesis to Revelation), making key stops along the way to understand the golden thread, woven throughout scripture of the kingdom.

—— Notes ——

eschatology

understanding of the last things or end times

destiny of the righteous: kingdom

destiny of the wicked: hell

3 dimensions to kingdom

hope

gospel

way

we are just talking about hope right now

creation theology

the first book of the bible begins with a poem, detailing God’s creation of universe

Genesis 1

what repeats?

And God said

let there be

and God saw that it was good

and there was evening and there was morning—the ?? day

every stanza begins with, “And God said” and “let there be”

every stanza ends with, “and God saw that it was good” and “it was evening and morning”

more patterns

God creates heavens on day 1

God populates heavens on day 4

God creates the waters on day 2

God populates waters on day 5

God creates the land on day 3

God populates the land on day 6

Gen 1.26: The poem climaxes at the creation of humanity

first time God brings others into creation

the first thing he says about humans is for them to have dominion over everything else on earth

Gen 1.27: God made us in his own image

we are similar to him in some way

also similar to the angels (cf. v26)

he does not say the animals are in his image

Gen 1.28: first commands God gives

reproduce

rule the world

Gen 1.29: God gives his people food (vegetables, grains, & fruits)

robust creation theology is the foundation for eschatology

example of Gnostics who believed the physical universe was an accident

people generally believe God will get in the end what he wanted in the beginning

Isaiah 45.18

God’s plan is not to evacuate but to have his world inhabited

last book reflects the first book

Genesis records the beginning Revelation records the end

river flowing out of Eden river flowing from God’s throne

tree of life in the garden tree of life on either side of the river

gold, bdellium, and onyx a ton of different precious stones

God walking in the garden God dwelling with his people (see his face)

garden city

probationary permanent

satan deceives satan done away with

God curses ground no more curse

first marriage last marriage

what God originally wanted in the beginning he will get in the end!

typically people conceive of the end based on what they believe God originally wanted in the beginning

Promise to Abraham

Gen 17.4-8

father of a multitude of nations (not just Israel!)

to be God to you and your offspring

give you land Canaan as an everlasting possession

Promise to David

1 Chronicles 17.11-14

raise up one of your sins

he will build me a house

I will establish his throne forever

Psalms

Psalm 2.6-9

Psalm 37.9-11, 22, 29, 34

Psalm 110
