The Work of God

Jesus Christ is a great window into understanding the Being we call the Father. These two Beings form the God family and They are so identical that They are referred to as “the Lord our God, the Lord is One.” In John 1 this is reinforced for us: “No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him” (John 1:18). The message revealing God the Father originated with Jesus Christ and He had authority to rehearse or unfold who the Father … [Read more...] about The Work of God

The Kingdom of God

The world has been successively ruled by kingdoms. From a biblical perspective we see this clearly outlined by Daniel as he explains to the Babylonian king the contents of the king’s dream. Daniel told Nebuchadnezzar, “For the God of heaven has given you a kingdom, power, strength, and glory” (Daniel 2:37). There were to be three similar kingdoms to follow the Babylonian kingdom. The progress of the dream’s revelation ends with a future fifth kingdom – the Kingdom of God. “And in the days of … [Read more...] about The Kingdom of God
