2 The Kingdom Of God Is A Major Bible Theme! Daniel 2 & 7 predicted that the Lord would eventually set up His Kingdom on earth

3 Daniel 2:44 (NKJV) 44 And in the days of these kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.

4 Daniel 7:13 14 (NKJV) 13 I was watching in the night visions, And behold, One like the Son of Man, Coming with the clouds of heaven! 14 Then to Him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, That all peoples, nations, and languages should serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, Which shall not pass away, And His kingdom the one Which shall not be destroyed.

5 Zechariah 14:1 (NKJV) 1 Behold, the day of the LORD is coming, Zechariah 14:3 4 (NKJV) 3 Then the LORD will go forth And fight against those nations, As He fights in the day of battle. 4 And in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, And the Mount of Olives shall be split in two, Making a very large valley; Half of the mountain shall move toward the north And half of it toward the south. Zechariah 14:9 (NKJV) 9 And the LORD shall be King over all the earth. In that day it shall be The LORD is one, And His name one.

6 Gabriel told Mary that her Son would reign on a throne and over a kingdom Luke 1:31 33 (NKJV) 31 And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name JESUS. 32 He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David. 33 And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.

7 After His resurrection the disciples asked a very good and natural question Acts 1:6 (NKJV) 6 Therefore, when they had come together, they asked Him, saying, Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel? Acts 1:7 (NKJV) 7 And He said to them, It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority. Acts 1:8 (NKJV) 8 But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses

9 Outline of Matthew 25 I. Parable of the Ten Virgins (25:1-13) Matthew 25:1 (NKJV) 1 Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. II. Parable of the Talents (25:14-30) Matthew 25:14 (NKJV) 14 For the kingdom of heaven is like a man traveling to a far country, who called his own servants and delivered his goods to them. III.
