Latest revision as of 10:09, 19 August 2023

The Gospel of the Kingdom was the good news that Jesus was going to take the the kingdom from the Pharisees and appoint it to those men who would be His *called out*, They would form a voluntary government that would restore the social bonds essential for a viable Republic in the heart of the declining Roman Empire.
His Church, and bear good fruit. For those who would repent and seek that Kingdom of God and His righteousness they would receive the blessings of His blood.
The Gospel of the kingdom was a grass roots movement where people took back their personal responsibilities and simultaneously created communities that learned to care about their neighbor's health, education, and welfare through the Fervent charity of private welfare rather than "legal charity" of public welfare which leads the masses to bondage, tyranny, and destruction.

"And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people." Matthew 4:23

The word gospel is from the Greek word euaggelion^[1] It is from the verb euaggelizo s^[2] Which is from two words eus ^[3] meaning good and aggello^[4] meaning message or messenger.

What was the good news?

Gospel of the Kingdom was the good news that the time was fulfilled and the government of God was at hand.^[5] That government preached by John the Baptist and Jesus was a uniquely separate^[6] form of government.

It was and is not based upon the will of rulers who require allegiance but the righteousness of God working through the hearts and minds of individuals living by faith rather than force, hope rather than fear, and love rather than lasciviousness.

Jesus, who was the rightful king of the Kingdom of God, announced that He would take that kingdom away from those who sat in the seat of Moses and give it to those who would bear fruit.^[7]

Jesus proclaimed that he would appoint that kingdom, that unique form of government, to His little flock.^[8] Which he did with the basic instructions of not ruling over the people."^[9]

They would be the princes of that appointed kingdom with at least some directives, they could not exercise authority one over the other, nor force the contributions of the people, but provide for the needs of the people as a servant government.^[10]

Jesus said the kingdom of God was not to be like the governments of the world that had Benefactors who exercise authority but depended upon voluntary system of charity of the people, for the people, and by the people, which sets men free, through the perfect law of liberty.

Jesus commanded^[11] the people to sit down in ranks of the fifties and hundreds before the miracle of the loaves and fishes would be received at the hands of His appointed "called out" disciples. This pattern of gathering in love and service was to help the people avoid the deeds of the Nicolaitan which God hates

This Gospel of Christ, this good news that Jesus brought, would turn the world upside down.^[12] The kingdom of God was not like Cain's city State, Nimrods Babylon, Pharoah's Egypt or Caesar's Rome. Nor was it like the caldrons that became the cities of blood where the people would bite one another until they were devoured. Jesus appointed this unique form of a servant government to men He chose and called out of the world. People who look to and seek their Social Security offered by men like Saul, Caesar or Herod and the Pharisees have already rejected God and become workers of iniquity as 1 Samuel 8 describes. His people did not look to or pray or call upon theses Fathers of the earth. His government was not of their world.

Everyone knew that a king was born. Prophets knew it, Herod knew it. Magi, angels, and shepherds knew it.^[13] At Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem, thousands of people hailed Him as the highest son of David, the Messiah, the Christ, the Anointed, the righteous King.

Pontius Pilate knew Jesus was the rightful King.^[14] but People are not hearing the Gospel of the kingdom in their churches today.

Thousands of Jews accepted Jesus as their king and the apostles as their servant leaders when they received the Baptism of Christ at Pentecost. They turned from the covetous practices of the Corban of the Pharisees and began to seek that kingdom of God and His righteousness through the practice of Pure Religion through faith, hope and charity and the perfect law of liberty. Today the Modern Christian does no understand the Gospel of the kingdom.

Christ preached The Way to live for those who heard His voice, a way for the living that draws you nearer to God. The Modern Christian head is full of False religion and their heart and soul pursues the benefits of Public religion of false gods through their Covetous Practices like the modern Corban which Snare the people, turns them into merchandise.

The Modern Christian are slothful in The Ways of Christ and are often Biting one another and even curse children through their Covetous Practices which Moses, Jesus, Peter, Paul, James, and John warned us about over and over.

Even Polybius new this would bring you under despots as it turned you into savages and Plutarch warned you that you would lose your liberty.

"Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth?" Isaiah 40:21

Told from the beginning

We were told from the beginning that the slothful shall be under tribute and that through "covetous practices" we would be made "merchandise" and would curse our children as a 'surety' for debt in a snare, being entangled in a yoke of bondage under the taxation of the world.
There are few more covetous practices than socialism and the world has been becoming more and more socialist every year. The modern Christian and their Churches are in conflict with Christ and His Church because they are biting one another, serving the Fathers of the earth, and praying to the Benefactors who are exercising authority over one another.
Christ commanded we turn away from the covetous practices of the world to a daily ministration of sacrifice through faith, hope, and charity like the early Church rather than the ways of force, fear, and fealty of the world of Cain, Nimrod, Pharaoh, the Pharisees, and Caesar.
The modern Christian has pursued the same Corban of social welfare which made the word of God to none effect like the Pharisees did. Since they have abandoned The Way of the early Church for the wages of unrighteousness becoming workers of iniquity they need to be subject to tribute.

The world systems that men create for themselves draws you away from God.

This gospel of the Kingdom of God was about teaching men to live in a way that would make them free souls under God instead of under the Cains and Nimrods of the world.

"Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God," Mark 1:14

Christ's way and appointed Church was not a part of the world systems that lead people away from God.^[15]

People find these systems oppressive and coercive.^[16] People who rebel against the systems of the world created by men without conforming to The Ways of Christ are not really Christians even though they say^[17] they believe and are Christians because they are not following his instructions

The Corban of the Pharisees made the word of God to none effect^[18] because they were based on a compelled offering through a system of social welfare like the social security system of today.^[19]

Christ preached a system of Corban based on faith hope and charity and the perfect law of liberty.^[20]

Followers of Christ banded together in a network of congregations to take care of the needy of their society and the ambassadors ministers of Christ ministered to the people through that system.

People who facilitate such a system may be ambassadors of Christ^[21] but people who just refuse to pay into the system of the world^[22] but do not provide for the flock of Christ take His Name as Christians in vain. This was a life and death struggle between pagan and Christians conflict.

The Corban of the world is broke and there are no funds in it, but yet it operates in debt. So to seek its benefits is to curse^[23] your children with debt.^[24]

But those who do not provide for Christ's system are worse than a infidel ^[25]

↑ 2004 ~ἐπιτάσσω~ epitasso \@ep-ee-tas’-so\@ from 1909 and 5021; ; v AV-command 8, charge 1, enjoin 1; 10
1) to enjoin upon, order, command, charge

The Greek word epitasso translated command appear 10 times but only a few times in the Bible in reference to Jesus. He commanded unclean spirits in Mark 1:27, Luke 4:36, Mark 9:25 and in Luke 8:31. We also see Him command the wind in Luke 8:25.

While Jesus uses the word in Luke 14:22 in a parable of a master commanding his servants to gather people for the wedding feast the only time Jesus commanded people was his disciples in Mark 6:39 to make all sit down by companies.

In Mark 6:27 we see the king sent an executioner, and commanded John the Baptist's head to be brought and Acts 23:2 The high priest Ananias commanded men to smite Jesus on the mouth.

It is very clear the word epitasso is not an invitation, a suggestion, advise, statement

The word "commandments" is not the same and it is usually the Greek word entole which means more a precept or a statement like the word we see in the Old Testament for Commandments.

Luke 23:38 And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

Matthew 27:11 ¶ And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest.

John 18:33 Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?
34 Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me? 35 Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done? 36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence. 37 Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.
John 19:12 And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar’s friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar.

John 19:19 And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.
20 This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin. 21 Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews. 22 Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.
Acts 17:7 Whom Jason hath received: and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, [one] Jesus.

Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.

Acts 17:7 Whom Jason hath received: and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, [one] Jesus.
