Considering how often this term is used, it is of great importance that we not overlook its significance. The Kingdom of God (as with any kingdom) is the realm or sphere of influence of which the King operates. It was preached by John the Baptist (Matt.3:1-2) then Jesus (Mark 1:14-15) who gave it to his disciples to preach (Matt. 10:17). Our brethren of Protestant persuasion have a system applied to the Bible which is not compatible with the preaching of the Kingdom of God today. Therefore, they must relegate it to a dispensational, Jewish gospel that applied only prior to the death, burial and resurrection of Christ. However, Jesus spoke of things pertaining to it after His resurrection (Acts 1:3) Philipp preached it to the Samaritans who were not Jews (Acts 8:12) and Paul preached the Kingdom of God to the Gentiles (Acts 14:22; 19:8; 20:25; 28:23; 28:31, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is clearly expedient to the Protestant system of theology (which so many of our neo-Baptist brethren embrace) to \u201cdispensationally\u201d tuck away the Kingdom of God. They must, therefore, assign it as a lost dispensation that will reappear in the future. The facts is, the apostles preached the Kingdom of God throughout the apostolic age and was continued by our Baptist forebears to present. They did not suffer persecution for being dispensationally confused, but for preaching the truth. The conflict our hyper-dispensational brethren have with this is that Scripture does not fit their manmade system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(continued &#8211; Tomorrow \u2013 The KOG is broad but not political)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thomas E.
