the Kingdom: what it is - part 10

part 10 the nature of the Kingdom

Near the turn of the century, right as the space-time continuum was transitioning from BC to AD, during the time of the Roman Empire, some wise men from the east saw a star which led them to go to Jerusalem.  Upon their arrival they asked, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews?  We saw his star and have come to worship him.”

Question: why would these wise men from the east assume that a star they saw during the reign of Rome was significant of the one who was to be born king of the Jews?  Why did they care who was king of the Jews and further, why would they travel all that distance to worship him?  They didn’t hop on Travelocity or Orbitz and book a flight.  They made a journey!

My sense of it is that these wise men from the east are probably from Babylonia or Persia, probably the same kind of wise men, astrologers, enchanters that were serving King Nebuchadnezzar during the reign of Babylon.  Recall that Babylon had conquered Judea and took the Jews captive and when Medo-Persia swallowed up Babylon, they inherited the captives.  So in the course of history the wise men from the east had heavy interaction with the Jews especially after Daniel interpreted visions for the kings correctly and was put into a prominent position.  It was declared that the spirit of the holy gods was in him.  No doubt he gained respect from the wise men of the east.  I would imagine that these wise men in the east would have interacted with Daniel and learned from him and the other Jews that God was going to establish a kingdom at the time of those kings, namely during the reign of the fourth empire, Rome.  They probably learned of the other prophecies of the kingdom that we have looked at, what we have called the syllabus.  These wise men had become privy to the same syllabus that Israel had.  Those traditions were likely passed on from generation to generation and so the wise men from the east in the first century were expecting the same establishment of a kingdom that Israel was expecting.

Recall that our study of the prophecies of the kingdom has shown us that the Kingdom would essentially be a restored kingdom of Israel with a descendent of David on the throne.  Thus, the Kingdom belongs to Israel and the King of the Kingdom is the King of Israel, the King of the Jews.  This would explain their interest in the one born king of the Jews.  They knew that the time was right for God to set up the restored Kingdom of Israel and the king has arrived…this is the One.

Now when these wise men, called Magi, came and asked “where is the one who has been born king of the Jews?  We saw his star and have come to worship him” this caused quite the disturbance in Jerusalem.  The apparent problem is that there was already a man ruling as king of the Jews in those days, King Herod, the client king that Rome put on the throne over the Jews.  Since Rome had dominion over the Promised Land and thus the people of God, Rome installed a king over them who would keep the peace there and rule over the Jews while maintaining allegiance to Caesar.  In those days Herod was already ruling as king of the Jews. 

Herod had heard about these wise men and their search of this newborn king and their desire to worship him and was disturbed.  After all, this was a threat to him and his position.  Consider also their desire to worship him.  Now, when they came to worship him, that doesn’t mean that they came to do what we are doing this morning.  That doesn’t mean that they saw the newborn child as divine; rather it carries with it more the idea of paying homage or tribute to him as king. 

But consider mankind.  In a sense, man has an innate desire to achieve great things and to be honored for those achievements.  Herod is no exception.  Herod, known as Herod the GREAT, whose title is “King of the Jews” has good reason to desire honor as he did achieve great things, things deserving of tribute and honor. 

In 25 B.C. King Herod built a stadium near Jerusalem and even held Games there. And in the year 12 B.C. the building of the town of Caesarea which Herod built in honour of the Roman Caesar-Augustus, was completed. As I mentioned before, it was he who was behind the rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem, a great glorious, grand temple.  There is a reason he was called Herod, the GREAT.

But now, here are some wise men who have come from the east looking for the one who was born king of the Jews to worship him.  You can imagine the threat that this posed to Herod.  Hey, wait a minute, that’s my title.  That child is a threat to my title.  And they want to pay tribute to him?  That’s a threat to me too.  What has he done?  Look at all that my hands have done.  They want to pay homage to him…for what?  What has he done?  What could he ever do that would outdo what I have done?  I am Herod, the great!

So after hearing about these wise men and their quest, Herod called the religious leaders together and asked them where the Christ was to be born and they replied in Bethlehem.  Know how they knew it would be in Bethlehem?  It was foretold in the prophets.  Like everything else we have seen lately: It was in the syllabus.  The religious leaders rightly pointed to the words of Micah the prophet in which it says: “‘But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for out of you will come a ruler who will be the shepherd of my people Israel.’” (Micah 5:2)

Then Herod called the Magi to him secretly and said, “Say, you’re looking for the baby that was born King of the Jews.  I found out he was born in Bethlehem.  But I want to worship him too so go to Bethlehem and let me know when you find him.  I’ll meet you there and together we can worship this king of the Jews.”  But since this child was a threat to Herod, he had actually planned to kill the boy.  God warned the Magi not to return to Herod.  So Herod decided to kill all the baby boys age two and under in the area just to be sure.  But the child’s parents were warned in a dream to escape to Egypt and thus Jesus, the one born king of the Jews was preserved.

From the moment of Jesus’ birth we see that his mere existence brought a spectrum of responses.  On one end of the spectrum there were the wise men from the east who recognized him as the fulfillment of the prophets and traveled a great distance to pay tribute to the king of the Jews.  On the other end of the spectrum there are those like Herod who were threatened by the prospect of one who was born King of the Jews.  So from birth Jesus received mixed reviews.  Some affirmed and embraced his kingship and others threatened by it sought to eliminate him.  Some love him, some hate him.

This spectrum remains throughout Jesus’ life and ministry.

We see this spectrum in the people’s responses to Jesus’ miracles.  Jesus went about performing miracles like turning water to wine, walking on water, healing the sick, raising the dead. 

Upon driving out demons some of the crowd was amazed and said, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel.”   But the Pharisees said, “It is by the prince of demons that he drives out demons.”

Like Herod, they were threatened in their position of prominence and began to plot his elimination.

 Again, Jesus receives a mixed review, a spectrum of responses.  Some embraced him and said step aside Keanu, he’s the one.  Others said I don’t care if he’s the one; I don’t like him and I want him dead.

Regarding his miracles to me the most bizarre miracle is a time when he feeds a multitude with just a few fish and barley loaves.  This miracle has the most significant response.

Turn with me in your Bibles to John 6.

As you turn there, I’ll set the context.

Some time after this, Jesus crossed to the far shore of the Sea of Galilee (that is, the Sea of Tiberias), ² and a great crowd of people followed him because they saw the miraculous signs he had performed on the sick. ³ Then Jesus went up on a mountainside and sat down with his disciples…

⁵ When Jesus looked up and saw a great crowd coming toward him, he said to Philip, “Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?” ⁶ He asked this only to test him, for he already had in mind what he was going to do.

⁷ Philip answered him, “Eight months’ wages would not buy enough bread for each one to have a bite!”

⁸ Another of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, spoke up, ⁹ “Here is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish, but how far will they go among so many?”

¹⁰ Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.” There was plenty of grass in that place, and the men sat down, about five thousand of them. ¹¹ Jesus then took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted. He did the same with the fish.

Scholars will point out that based on Mark’s account of the same event, they were arranged militarily, in the same fashion as an army.

¹² When they had all had enough to eat, he said to his disciples, “Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted.” ¹³ So they gathered them and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten.

Look with me at v14:

¹⁴ After the people saw the miraculous sign that Jesus did, they began to say, “Surely this is the Prophet who is to come into the world.” ¹⁵ Jesus, knowing that they intended to come and make him king by force, withdrew again to a mountain by himself.

Interesting.  After Jesus arranged the crowd in the form of an army and then feeds them, he knew they wanted to make him king.  After all, one of if not the biggest problems for any army is how to provide for them.  If an army is going to go make war on another nation, we have to feed those guys.  Not a problem with this guy in charge.  Give him a few loaves and somehow everybody eats till they’re full and we got leftovers for the next week.  Make him king that he may go out before us and lead us in battle just like all the other nations.

Here was his chance to take the throne. Jesus, if you’re really king of Jews take the throne now.

But look at Jesus’ response.  Upon knowing their intent to make him king, he didn’t say give me the crown, let’s make this thing happen.  He withdrew from them to a mountain by himself.  Why?  If he was indeed the one born king of the Jews why not accept their offer and become King?  If Jesus was perceptive enough to know that they were going to make him king by force, he was certainly perceptive enough to know of all the trouble he would face at the hands of the religious leaders in days to come.  Why not take their offer now while so many people are on board and save the trouble later?  Why not accept the throne?

Because that is not the nature of the Kingdom.  The nature of the kingdom is not an earthly kingdom with an earthly king on an earthly throne in earthly Jerusalem.  The kingdom is heavenly in nature, with a heavenly king on a heavenly throne.  The kingdom is not of this world.

I think we gain some insight by recalling the history of the Kingdom.  In part 2 of this series I shared with you that Israel did not originally have a literal king on a literal throne.  But they petitioned with Samuel to put a king over them.  We want a king like all of the other nations so he can go out before us and lead us in battle.  Samuel was disturbed but God told him it’s not you they are rejecting Samuel, but they are rejecting me as king.

In other words, the act of putting a physical man on an earthly throne in earthly Jerusalem was a rejection of Him as King and ultimately a sign of rebellion against God.

If Jesus were to accept the offer of the Jews to make him king on a literal throne in earthly Jerusalem would be to do the very thing that was identified as a rebellion against God.  It would be to succumb to the very thing that the devil had tempted him to do in the wilderness.

Jesus rejects this kind of kingship, he rejects this kind of kingdom in favor of a different kind of Kingdom, one not built with human hands, one not of this world, for his Kingdom was to be one built by God, a heavenly kingdom.

However, there is a very popular view today, which teaches that God wanted to put Jesus on the throne in Israel, but Israel rejected him, didn’t want to put him on the throne.  So God is kinda doing a plan B with the church for now, but some time in our future, Jesus will come back in bodily form the physical Jesus, the Jews will have a change of heart and accept him as king on the throne in earthly Jerusalem to set up an earthly kingdom in Israel for national Israel. 

If that was to be the nature of the Kingdom here was his chance.  I guess he missed it.  John 6 poses a huge problem for any view that says that the nature of the Kingdom is earthly with an earthly king on an earthly throne in earthly Jerusalem.

Turn with me to John 18

From his birth and much of his ministry there was a spectrum of views on Jesus.  However, from this point forward, those who were threatened by Jesus grew in hostility, in large part due to his claims to divinity.  I’ll share with you two brief encounters that gave rise to their hostility before we make our way into John 18.

In John 8, Jesus said something that made them want to stone him.  He said if you were Abraham’s children you would believe me.  Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day.  He saw it and was glad.  They said you’re not even 50 years old and you have seen Abraham?  Now we know you’re smoking something.

His response, Before Abraham was born I AM.  He was taking on the divine name referencing Exodus 3:14 calling himself Jehovah.  At this they picked up stones to stone him but he slipped away.

Then in John 10:30ff ³⁰ I and the Father are one.” ³¹ Again the Jews picked up stones to stone him, ³² but Jesus said to them, “I have shown you many great miracles from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?” ³³ “We are not stoning you for any of these,” replied the Jews, “but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God.”

Again, mixed reviews on this guy Jesus.  Some remained faithful followers and couldn’t help but see him as the fulfillment of the syllabus and as the true king of Israel, but others were ready to stone him for calling himself one with God.

Those in tune with the syllabus recognized that this was the righteous branch from the line of David called Jehovah our righteousness.  Both descendant of David and God.  His claim to divinity is in line with the syllabus.  He is both a child born to us to reign on David’s throne and called Mighty God everlasting father.  Both descendant of David and God.  His claim to divinity is in line with the syllabus.

Before these divine claims it seems one could have been somewhat neutral on Jesus and remain on the fence.  After Jesus’ divine claims it would be increasingly difficult to remain neutral about Jesus.  What started as a spectrum transformed into something very black and white.  A line had been drawn in the sand.  To embrace him was to risk losing membership in the synagogue. 

It all comes to a head in John 18 where we see the breaking point.

John 18 begins after the Passover meal, which we call the Last Supper, when Jesus dined with his disciples for the last time.  They went from the meal to an Olive grove to spend time in prayer, an agonizing time for Jesus.  Judas led a detachment of soldiers and religious leaders to Jesus to hand him over.  The religious leaders had conspired to have him killed, but the Jews didn’t have the right to execute anyone so they had to involve the Roman authorities.   So they had Jesus arrested and bound and took him to the palace of the Roman governor Pilate.

By now it was early morning, and to avoid ceremonial uncleanness the Jews did not enter the palace; they wanted to be able to eat the Passover. ²⁹ So Pilate came out to them and asked, “What charges are you bringing against this man?”

³⁰ “If he were not a criminal,” they replied, “we would not have handed him over to you.”

³¹ Pilate said, “Take him yourselves and judge him by your own law.”

“But we have no right to execute anyone,” the Jews objected. ³² This happened so that the words Jesus had spoken indicating the kind of death he was going to die would be fulfilled.

That’s where we pick up in the text; verse 33

³³ Pilate then went back inside the palace, summoned Jesus and asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?”

³⁴ “Is that your own idea,” Jesus asked, “or did others talk to you about me?”

³⁵ “Am I a Jew?” Pilate replied. “It was your people and your chief priests who handed you over to me. What is it you have done?”

³⁶ Jesus said, “My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jews. But now my kingdom is from another place.”

If my kingdom was built with human hands and advanced by the sword, I would have let Peter chop everyone’s ears off and some other choice appendages.  But my kingdom is not of this world.

³⁷ “You are a king, then!” said Pilate. Jesus answered, “You are right in saying I am a king. In fact, for this reason I was born, and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me.”

Pilate said, you ARE A KING!  Jesus replied, YES, IT IS AS YOU SAY. But, my kingdom is not of this world.

Again, we must ask the question: if Jesus, is truly the king of the Jews, if this was the reason he was born then why didn’t he just accept the offer of the Jews back in John 6 when they wanted to make him king?  Now the religious leaders have brought him before the Roman governor in order to have him executed.  Jesus, why didn’t you accept the throne when they were ready to give it to you???  The answer lies in the nature of the kingdom.

Clearly the nature of the kingdom they wanted to give him was different from the nature of the kingdom he came to establish.

Let’s see how this plays out.  The text continues in John 19:1ff

Then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged. ² The soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head. They clothed him in a purple robe ³ and went up to him again and again, saying, “Hail, king of the Jews!” (for those familiar with this story, perhaps  you see it afresh studying it in the context of the kingdom – it all makes more sense) And they struck him in the face.

⁴ Once more Pilate came out and said to the Jews, “Look, I am bringing him out to you to let you know that I find no basis for a charge against him.” ⁵ When Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe, Pilate said to them, “Here is the man!”

⁶ As soon as the chief priests and their officials saw him, they shouted, “Crucify! Crucify!”

But Pilate answered, “You take him and crucify him. As for me, I find no basis for a charge against him.”

⁷ The Jews insisted, “We have a law, and according to that law he must die, because he claimed to be the Son of God.”

⁸ When Pilate heard this, he was even more afraid, ⁹ and he went back inside the palace. “Where do you come from?” he asked Jesus, but Jesus gave him no answer. ¹⁰ “Do you refuse to speak to me?” Pilate said. “Don’t you realize I have power either to free you or to crucify you?”

¹¹ Jesus answered, “You would have no power over me if it were not given to you from above. Therefore the one who handed me over to you is guilty of a greater sin.”

¹² From then on, Pilate tried to set Jesus free, but the Jews kept shouting, “If you let this man go, you are no friend of Caesar. Anyone who claims to be a king opposes Caesar.”

¹³ When Pilate heard this, he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judge’s seat at a place known as the Stone Pavement (which in Aramaic is Gabbatha). ¹⁴ It was the day of Preparation of Passover Week, about the sixth hour.

“Here is your king,” Pilate said to the Jews.

¹⁵ But they shouted, “Take him away! Take him away! Crucify him!”

“Shall I crucify your king?” Pilate asked.

“We have no king but Caesar,” the chief priests answered.

¹⁶ Finally Pilate handed him over to them to be crucified.

We have no king but Caesar.  Crucify him.  This is the same man that so many were ready to put on the throne after he fed 5000 with just a few loaves and fish.  Now he is fitted with a crown of thorns, mocked, and crucified.

So the soldiers took charge of Jesus. ¹⁷ Carrying his own cross, he went out to the place of the Skull (which in Aramaic is called Golgotha). ¹⁸ Here they crucified him, and with him two others —one on each side and Jesus in the middle.

¹⁹ Pilate had a notice prepared and fastened to the cross. It read: jesus of nazareth, the king of the jews. ²⁰ Many of the Jews read this sign, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and the sign was written in Aramaic, Latin and Greek. ²¹ The chief priests of the Jews protested to Pilate, “Do not write ‘The King of the Jews,’ but that this man claimed to be king of the Jews.”

²² Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.”

Jesus  offered the Jews a kingdom.  But as we see here they rejected what He was offering.

Jesus perceived that the Jews were offering Him a kingdom.  But He rejected what they had to offer.

Clearly the nature of the kingdom the Jews were offering Jesus was different from the nature of the Kingdom that Jesus actually came to establish.

In Daniel we saw a glimpse of the nature of the Kingdom – that it would not be built with human hands.  Jesus makes this explicit when he says:  My kingdom is not of this world.  If it was, then my servants would have drawn their swords to prevent my arrest.  I came to establish a kingdom not of this world, not built with human hands, not attained or maintained by military might.  My kingdom is a heavenly kingdom.

The nature of the kingdom of God is not earthly but heavenly; it is a spiritual kingdom in a spiritual land, with a spiritual temple, with a spiritual priesthood offering spiritual sacrifices, with spiritual circumcision, inhabited by those born of the spirit, who are indwelt by God’s spirit, who follow a spiritual law written on the heart by the Spirit, and worship Him in spirit and in truth.  The nature of the Kingdom is spiritual.  It is of the spirit.  It is not of this world.

BUT…While the Kingdom is not OF this world it is IN this world!

It is not OF this world in the sense that it has its origins in heaven with God, but Kingdom life is lived out here on this planet.  Recall the prophecy of Daniel 7:27 Then the sovereignty, power and greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven will be handed over to the saints, the people of the Most High.

Dominion has been transferred to the saints.  The saints have dominion to rule over the nations under the heavens IN this world.  Thus, though the kingdom is not OF this world, it is manifest IN this world.

 The kingdom is to expand through the spread of the Gospel and God’s people are to rule and reign with him.  Revelation 5:10 You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign on the earth.”  Though the kingdom is not OF this world, it is manifest IN this world.

What does that look like?  We weren’t given an exact blueprint for this, but I believe we can get some insight in the “model prayer”

RECALL HOW JESUS TAUGHT HIS DISCIPLES TO PRAY.

Matt 6:9-10 ⁹ “This, then, is how you should pray:  “‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, ¹⁰ your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Most scholars will connect the coming of his kingdom with his will being done on earth and I agree. 

Now this isn’t simply a “pray these things but you don’t have to act accordingly.”  I believe the intention is that his disciples would not only pray these things, but also act in accordance with these prayers.

Consider the last part of the prayer.  This “model prayer” continues:

¹¹ Give us today our daily bread. ¹² Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
¹³ And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’

Give us our daily bread doesn’t mean just ask God for bread and don’t work towards earning money with which to buy bread.  NO…pray that but work too!  Forgive us our debts as we also forgive our debtors isn’t lip service where God’s people just say that but DON’T REALLY forgive their debtors.  Yes, pray that, but REALLY DO forgive your debtors too!

Similarly, I don’t believe that Jesus told his disciples to pray that the kingdom would come and that his will would be done on earth but to then sit around and not do his will.  Pray that His will would be done and act accordingly; pray that but also DO HIS WILL ON EARTH.

I believe that the kingdom has come, so I don’t personally pray that the kingdom would come.  But the corresponding part of that prayer is that his will be done on earth as it is in heaven.  I believe this indicates that with the coming of the kingdom God’s saints are to act accordingly in bringing about God’s will on earth as it is in heaven, that as his hands and feet his servants would operate in accordance with His will and IN THE PROCESS, influence the world, engaging the culture, bringing about transformation. 

So we see here that though the kingdom is not of this world, it is in this world and it is manifest in his will being done on earth as it is in heaven.  

Now let’s be practical here.  When speaking of God’s will it can be tempting to move into the realm of the philosophical and to slip into the age-old discussion of predestination/free will.  That’s not what this is about here.  Let’s get this out of the way.  If God wants something to happen it happens.  He’s God.  He’s omnipotent.  This text isn’t referring to God’s ability or inability to bring about his divinely ordained plans.

Otherwise if we make it refer to his ability or inability to bring about his divinely ordained plans, we turn this prayer into our father hallowed be...I know that you're gonna do what you're gonna do anyway so go ahead and do what you're gonna do anyway in Jesus name amen.

I believe the context and meaning of God’s will in this sense is God’s desire for the lifestyle and actions of his people, how his people should think, talk, and live in practical terms – what He desires of us.  For example, there are passages in Scripture like 1 Thess 4:3 It is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality.  1 Thess 5:16-17 ¹⁶ Be joyful always; ¹⁷ pray continually; ¹⁸ give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

These passages in Thessalonians communicate that God’s ideal for his people would be for them to be sanctified, to be joyful always, to give thanks in all circumstances and for them to pray continually.

I believe that in Jesus’ “model prayer” when he says to pray that God’s will would be done on earth as in heaven, the context is the same; I believe it pertains to bringing about God’s ideal design for life in practical terms – what he wants from people. 

God, empower us to live in a way that pleases you according to your desires.

In a nutshell, God’s will or his ideal design is that people would believe in His son, to love Him and love one another, that people would do to one another as they would want done to them.  This, I believe is what is conveyed by His will being done on earth.  So I exhort you let’s do his will.  Let’s be about our father’s business.

IN CLOSING… When offered an earthly kingdom by the devil, Jesus rejected it.  When he perceived that the Jews were going to put him on the throne over an earthly kingdom, he rejected it.  But he was the one born King of the Jews and for this reason he came into the world.  Clearly, the kingdom they wanted him to reign over was different in nature than the kingdom he came to establish. This morning we saw explicitly from Jesus’ words and actions that the kingdom is not of this world.  He didn’t come to establish an earthly kingdom and reign on an earthly throne; his kingdom is a heavenly kingdom, spiritual in nature.

Understanding the timing and the nature of the kingdom should lead us to a positive view for our lives and our role as God’s servants on this earth, operating as his hands and feet.  We should abandon any view that says: “The world is going to hell in a hand-basket; why bother?  Why polish the brass on a sinking ship?”  We should embrace the view that says the kingdom is here now and it belongs to us and we are called to expand it, to reign with Him and to do his will on earth as it is in Heaven.  Rather than sit back and watch the world DEgenerate, let us be an influence that REgenerates the world around us.  Let’s make this world a better place.  For you and for me.

While His kingdom is not OF this world, it is IN this world. We should not only pray that his will be done on earth as it is in heaven, we should also act in accordance with those prayers.  Let us DO his will on earth as it is in Heaven.  As the light of the world, we should let our light shine before men that they would see our good deeds and praise our heavenly King, that others may see the light and come and enter the gates of the New Jerusalem, the heavenly Jerusalem, and bow the knee to our heavenly King, who reigns in glory.

As God’s people, let’s engage the culture, have a voice in the community, and have a positive influence on society, affecting the world around us with the transforming power of the gospel, which is the Kingdom.
