Identify and assess the Kingdom of God, the importance of it being characteristically present and future, and its relationship with the Church.

Then Jesus asked, What is the kingdom of God like? It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his garden. It grew and became a tree, and the birds of the air perched in its branches. Again he asked, What shall I compare the kingdom of God to? It is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into a large amount of flour until it worked all through the dough. Luke 13:18-24. Defining the Kingdom of God is not an easy task, but is important to understanding the plans of God. This paper should help you bring clarity and focus to a biblical doctrine of the Kingdom of God.

How did Jesus fulfillment of messianic prophecy contrast with the Jewish expectations of their hoped-for Messiah?

PLEASE USE TEXT BOOK – DISCOVERING OUR CHRISTIAN FAITH AN INTRODUCTION TO THEOLOGY BY SAMUEL .M. POWELL. Describe the Old Testament messianic hope and relate it the Kingdom of God preached by Christ. Isaiah 7:14 says Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel. Later in 28:16, Isaiah also said So this is what the Sovereign LORD says: See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation; the one who trusts will never be dismayed. I Peter 2:6 alludes to this same statement. There are many links between the messianic prophecy in the Old and New Testament.
