Fall 2004 The Kingdom of God
|
|
Matt Postiff
In this course we will study the kingdom of God in its two major
manifestations: the universal kingdom of God and the earthly outworking
of God's kingdom program on the earth, sometimes called the mediatorial
kingdom. We will study early indications of the kingdom program,
Israel's historical theocracy, the kingdom in the OT prophetic
literature, the offer, rejection and delay of the kingdom in the
gospels, the spiritual nature of the kingdom at present and the
relationship of the church to the kingdom program, and the future
millennial (Messianic or Davidic) kingdom.
