God Tells Us To
Rightly Divide His Word
2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew
thyself approved unto God, a
workman that needeth not to be
ashamed, rightly dividing the word
of truth.
NOT TOPICALLY (This is not wrong to do) – Salvation, Marriage, Childrearing,
Finances, Entertainment, Leadership, the Home, etc…
Rightly Divide according– Jewish or Gentile time frame, Israel or the Church, the
Kingdom of Heaven or the Kingdom of God
Topical study can be easily taken out of context without Rightly Dividing the Word
Kingdom of God
• Luke 17:20-26 And when he was demanded
of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God
should come, he answered them and said, The
kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there!
for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
22 And he said unto the disciples, The days will
come, when ye shall desire to see one of the
days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it.
23 And they shall say to you, See here; or, see
there: go not after them, nor follow them.
Kingdom of God
•
Romans 14:17-19 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but
righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
18 For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved
of men.
19 Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things
wherewith one may edify another.
•
Matthew 12:28-30 And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every
kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house
divided against itself shall not stand:
26 And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his
kingdom stand?
27 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them
out? therefore they shall be your judges.
28 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is
come unto you.
29 Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods,
except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.
30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me
scattereth abroad.
Kingdom of God
• John 18:36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is
not of this world: if my kingdom were of this
world, then would my servants fight, that I
should not be delivered to the Jews: but now
is my kingdom not from hence.
Kingdom of God
• Dealing with our spiritual life
and growth in Christ during
the New Testament time until
the Rapture.
Your inward man is supposed to be important to you. (II Corinthians 4:16-18)
Yeilding to the Holy Spirit is supposed to be important to you. (Galatians 5:16-26)
Your Christ-likeness is supposed to be growing. (Ephesians 4:13)
The Will of God for your life is supposed to be important to you. (Ephesians 1)
Jesus taught principles and how to live in the Kingdom of God on the Sermon
on the Mount (Matthew 5-7, Luke 12)
Living after the flesh will hinder your spiritual growth (I Corinthians 6:9-11)
2 Corinthians 5:7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
Kingdom of God
1. Within
2. Spiritual
3. Gentiles and Local Church
Kingdom of God
• Luke 16:15-16 And he said unto them, Ye are
they which justify yourselves before men; but
God knoweth your hearts: for that which is
highly esteemed among men is abomination in
the sight of God.
16 The law and the prophets were until John:
since that time the kingdom of God is
preached, and every man presseth into it.
The Kingdom of Heaven is in reference to the Old Testament and Israel
The Kingdom of God is and individual and inward decision, not a national
and outward kingdom
Kingdom of Heaven
• Matthew 3:2 And saying, Repent ye: for the
kingdom of heaven is at hand.
• Matthew 4:17 From that time Jesus began to
preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of
heaven is at hand.
John 1:11 He came unto his own, and his own
received him not.
John 19:15 But they cried out, Away with him, away
with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall
I crucify your King? The chief priests answered,
We have no king but Caesar.
Kingdom of Heaven
• Dealing with the Jewish
Theocracy of the Old
Testament or Heaven’s rule on
earth during the Millenium
Kingdom of Heaven
1. Without
2. Literal Kingdom Theocracy
O.T. or Millenium
3. Jews and Israel
Kingdom of Heaven
• Matthew 11:11-13 Verily I say unto you, Among
them that are born of women there hath not risen a
greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he
that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than
he.
12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now
the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the
violent take it by force.
13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until
John.
Rome was controlling Israel or the reference to the kingdom of Heaven
Fighting and warefare are involved as kingdoms struggle for #1
Kingdom of Heaven
• Matthew 10:5-7 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and
commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the
Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye
not:
6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is
at hand.
This is different than the Great Comision
that we have been given.
The last time the Kingdom of Heaven is preached is Acts 7
Kingdom of God
and the
Kingdom of Heaven

2 Corinthians 4:3-4 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which
believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of
God, should shine unto them. This is why Satan could offer Jesus all the kingdoms
of this world and their glory.
John 18:36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom
were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be
delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.

Peace.

of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways,
and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of
the LORD from Jerusalem.
4And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and
they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks:
nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his
ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word
of the LORD from Jerusalem.
3 And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and
they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks:
nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any
more.
The Millennial Reign of Christ

came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they
brought him near before him.

people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an
everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which
shall not be destroyed.

crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is
called The Word of God.
14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white
horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he
treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING
OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

Our emphasis is to be on soul-winning and the local New Testament Church not
“Cutting-Edge-Marketing-Purpose-Driven-Kingdom-Building”
2 Corinthians 5:7 “(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)”
2 Corinthians 5:14-15 “For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus
judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:
15 And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto
themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.”
How Holy You Are
Really Does Matter
Revelation 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and
judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were
beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which
had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received
his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and
reigned with Christ a thousand years.
Revelation 1:5-6 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness,
and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the
earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own
blood, And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father;
to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
Revelation 5:10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests:
and we shall reign on the earth.
We Are Supposed to Live for the
World to Come
Matthew 12:32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of
man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy
Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the
world to come.
Mark 10:30 But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time,
houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and
lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.
Luke 18:29-30 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is
no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children,
for the kingdom of God's sake,
30 Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in
the world to come life everlasting.
Romans 8:18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are
not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
Circumstances and Emotions are
NOT Supposed to Control Us in the
Kingdom of God
You are to Live by the Principles and Commands of the New Testament
Our Purpose is Simple = MAKE DISCIPLES
How come bad things happen to good people?
Why is there suffering?
How Could God Allow This?
What Happens if America is Destroyed?
What Happens if our Economy gets worse?
What Happens if our Democracy gives way to a Dictatorship?
What Happens if we can’t save America?
What Am I Supposed to Do if Persecution Happens?
LIVE FOR GOD!
How You Live As A Christian Determines Your Position
