The Kingdom of God

The Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar had a disturbing dream that only the exiled Jewish prophet, Daniel, could interpret: the stone cut out of a mountain, without hands, filling the whole earth, crushing every remaining kingdom set up by man. This was the kingdom of heaven, and it's still coming. Flashes of this kingdom have been set up upon the earth in the past. We'll explore in some detail the church and kingdom that Peter and the apostles established following 40 days of instruction from the resurrected Lord (Acts 1:1-3). The love of God is what makes heaven on earth possible. Meanwhile, Satan attempts to set up his coercive plans of external force, threats and economic control to try and establish his kingdom. The kingdom of God leads to unconditional sharing, crimeless, and classless societies where miracles, knowledge and riches abound, while the latter leads to misery, crime, poverty, and destruction. Which kingdom will we choose?
