Daniel 2:44 "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.
The kingdom had to established between 63 BC –

Deuteronomy 18:22 "when a prophet speaks in
the name of the LORD, if the thing does not
happen or come to pass, that is the thing which
the LORD has not spoken;
John 17:4 "I have glorified You on the earth. I
have finished the work which You have given Me
to do.
Luke 24:44 Then He said to them, "These are the
words which I spoke to you while I was still with
you, that all things must be fulfilled which were
written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and
the Psalms concerning Me."
Matthew 3:2 "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven
is at hand!" and Jesus taught the same thing.
Matthew 4:17 From that time Jesus began to
preach and to say, "Repent, for the kingdom of
heaven is at hand."
Matthew 6: 10 Your kingdom come. Your will be
done On earth as it is in heaven.
Matthew 10:7 "And as you go, preach, saying,
'The kingdom of heaven is at hand.'
Mark 9:1 And He said to them, "Assuredly, I say
to you that there are some standing here who will
not taste death till they see the kingdom of God
present with power."
Acts 1:6 Therefore, when they had come
together, they asked Him, saying, "Lord, will You
at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?" 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. 8 "But you shall receive power
when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you
shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all
Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth."
• The kingdom was to come with power
• The power and Holy Spirit were to come
together
When did this happen?
Acts 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy
Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as
the Spirit gave them utterance.
Isaiah 2:1 The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz
saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem. 2 Now it
shall come to pass in the latter days That the
mountain of the LORD's house Shall be
established on the top of the mountains, And
shall be exalted above the hills; And all nations
shall flow to it. 3 Many people shall come and
say, "Come, and let us go up to the mountain of
the LORD, To the house of the God of Jacob; He
will teach us His ways, And we shall walk in His
paths." For out of Zion shall go forth the law, And
the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
Acts 2:14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven,
raised his voice and said to them, "Men of Judea
and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known
to you, and heed my words. 15 "For these are not
drunk, as you suppose, since it is only the third
hour of the day. 16 "But this is what was spoken
by the prophet Joel: 17 'And it shall come to pass
in the last days, says God, That I will pour out of
My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your
daughters shall prophesy, Your young men shall
see visions, Your old men shall dream dreams.
Luke 17: 20 Now when He was asked by the
Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come,
He answered them and said, "The kingdom of God
does not come with observation; 21 "nor will
they say, 'See here!' or 'See there!' For indeed,
the kingdom of God is within you."
John 6:15 Therefore when Jesus perceived that
they were about to come and take Him by force to
make Him king, He departed again to the
mountain by Himself alone.
John 18:36 Jesus answered, "My kingdom is not
of this world. If My kingdom were of this world,
My servants would fight, so that I should not be
delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not
from here." 37 Pilate therefore said to Him, "Are
You a king then?" Jesus answered, "You say
rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was
born, and for this cause I have come into the
world, that I should bear witness to the truth.
Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice."
Ephesians 5:23 … Christ is head of the church;
and He is the Savior of the body.
Jeremiah 22:24 " As I live," says the LORD, "though
Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, were the
signet on My right hand, yet I would pluck you off; 25
"and I will give you into the hand of those who seek your
life, and into the hand of those whose face you fear -- the
hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and the hand of
the Chaldeans. 26 "So I will cast you out, and your
mother who bore you, into another country where you
were not born; and there you shall die. 27 "But to the
land to which they desire to return, there they shall not
return. 28 "Is this man Coniah a despised, broken idol -A vessel in which is no pleasure? Why are they cast out,
he and his descendants, And cast into a land which they
do not know? 29 O earth, earth, earth, Hear the word of
the LORD! 30 Thus says the LORD: 'Write this man down
as childless, A man who shall not prosper in his days; For
none of his descendants shall prosper, Sitting on the
throne of David, And ruling anymore in Judah.' "
Zechariah 6:12 "Then speak to him, saying, 'Thus
says the LORD of hosts, saying: "Behold, the Man
whose name is the BRANCH! From His place He
shall branch out, And He shall build the temple of
the LORD; 13 Yes, He shall build the temple of
the LORD. He shall bear the glory, And shall sit
and rule on His throne; So He shall be a priest on
His throne, And the counsel of peace shall be
between them both." '
Hebrews 8:4 For if He were on earth, He would
not be a priest, since there are priests who offer
the gifts according to the law;
Matthew 16:18 "And I also say to you that you
are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church,
and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against
it. 19 "And I will give you the keys of the
kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on
earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you
loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."
Acts 2:47 And the Lord added to the church daily
those who were being saved.
Acts 2:41 Then those who gladly received his
word were baptized; and that day about three
thousand souls were added to them.
John 3:5 Jesus answered, "Most assuredly, I say
to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit,
he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
1 Corinthians 12:13 For by one Spirit we were all
baptized into one body
Ephesians 1:22 And He put all things under His
feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to
the church, 23 which is His body, the fullness of
Him who fills all in all.
Hebrews 8:1 Now this is the main point of the
things we are saying: We have such a High Priest,
who is seated at the right hand of the throne of
the Majesty in the heavens, 2 a Minister of the
sanctuary and of the true tabernacle which the
Lord erected, and not man.
Acts 8:12 But when they believed Philip as he
preached the things concerning the kingdom of
God …
Acts 28:23 So when they had appointed him a
day, many came to him at his lodging, to whom
he explained and solemnly testified of the
kingdom of God…
Colossians 1:13 He has delivered us from the
power of darkness and conveyed us into the
kingdom of the Son of His love,
Hebrews 12:28 Therefore, since we are receiving
a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have
grace, by which we may serve God acceptably
with reverence and godly fear.
Revelation 1:9 I, John, both your brother and
companion in the tribulation and kingdom and
patience of Jesus Christ …
Luke 22:29 "And I bestow upon you a kingdom,
just as My Father bestowed one upon Me, 30
"that you may eat and drink at My table in My
kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve
tribes of Israel.“
1 Corinthians 10:21 You cannot drink the cup of
the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot
partake of the Lord's table and of the table of
demons.
1 Corinthians 15:20 But now Christ is risen from the dead,
and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen
asleep. 21 For since by man came death, by Man also
came the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all
die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. 23 But each
one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward
those who are Christ's at His coming. 24 Then comes the
end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father,
when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and
power. 25 For He must reign till He has put all enemies
under His feet. 26 The last enemy that will be destroyed
is death. 27 For "He has put all things under His feet."
But when He says "all things are put under Him," it is
evident that He who put all things under Him is excepted.
28 Now when all things are made subject to Him, then the
Son Himself will also be subject to Him who put all things
under Him, that God may be all in all.
