The Gospel

[Douglas Summers]

Most of Christendom does not know the Gospel that Christ taught, nor what the disciple's taught under Christ's command. In Matthew (written in and for the Hebrew or Jews), gives the OT prophecy of the coming Messiah. (Son of David). In Matthew Chapter four (after His testing in the desert), He begins preaching "The Kingdom of Heaven" (Matt. 4:23),The original Script was plural, "The Kingdom of The Heavens". (There are three heavens) The Kingdom of Heaven is peculiar to Matthew only. The Kingdom of heaven refers to the promised restoration of Israel by the Messiah (Son of David). The difference between the Kingdom of Heaven and kingdom of God is that The Holy one from heaven was to restore and rule over Israel (Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven). The Kingdom of God includes all that God has created and includes The Kingdom of Heaven (He has established His Throne in the Heavens, and His Kingdom ruleth over all). (Psalms 109:19). The Constitution of the Kingdom is (Matt. 5:1-48) The disciples preached Jesus Christ and the kingdom on the earth. Salvation through Christ by faith, and the Building up of the House of David (reestablished Israel). But Christ postponed The House of David until the calling out of the Gentiles into one body with the Jew. (Eph. 2:14-19)..called the Fullness of the Gentiles. (Rom. 11:25). Then He will build up the House of David (The restoration of the kingdom of Israel under the Son of David...The Christ) (Acts 15:13-18).

The Disciples preached Jesus and the Kingdom together (Acts 1:1-3; 8:12; 20:24-25; 28:31)

Just wanted to share some clear presentations of the gospel and thought this would be a good thread. These are purposely short and sweet.

Miss you, DS. Guess you've left for awhile?
