Psalm 25:14
“The secret of the Lord is with them that fear Him;
and He will show them His covenant “ (KJV).
Because of this revelation given in Psalm 25:1
knowledge of the Kingdom is sorely lacking in the
Church. With the apostasy, biblical ignorance, and
assertive moral turpitude God has withdrawn from
those who could be enlightened regarding the facts of
His Theocratic Kingdom. As a result of this, the
concept of the Kingdom has come to mean almost
anything. Typically we see definitions such as:
1. Messiah’s spiritual reign during the Church
Age.
2. The Gospel
3. A renewed heart
4. Religion
5. The truth
6. Salvation
7. Heaven
8. The way of salvation
9. Following the Savior.
10. The world to come
This is hardly an exhaustive list but it provides
enough examples to show that there is a variety of
different topics that Bible teachers, theologians,
and pastors use to define the Lord’s Kingdom. There
are other sound reasons for this lack of
understanding of this important doctrine. Chief among
these is a lack of trust in the Bible.
