There is no subject of deeper Scriptural import than the kingdom of God and the great redemptive foundation upon which it rests. This book presents a detailed study of Bible verses from Genesis to Revelation relating to the kingdom of God, by carefully examining the significance of the Scriptures.
The tendency has always been to whittle it down, to over-simplify it, to see part of it, and to imagine that this is the whole. The fact is that it is nothing less than the entire purpose of God for heaven and earth in all its variety and complexity, and because of this it is the theme of the Word of God from Genesis to Revelation.
The Lord Jesus Christ is Himself the source, center, and goal of it all. He is the all-sufficient Redeemer of this creation which tragically has become involved in sin and death and without His redemptive work, the attainment of
this kingdom would be impossible.
At the outset, we must be careful not to interpret the word `kingdom' as merely the exhibition of sovereignty or government as some have done. The Bible knows nothing of a kingdom without a king or a king without a kingdom. A kingdom pre-supposes a ruler with adequate authority and power and a realm of subjects whom he rules and both these are clearly presented in the sacred Scriptures.
A book for the mature Christian and thoughtful reading for every preacher.
