God’s Kingdom From Eternity To Eternity

Dan. 2:34-35, 44-45

Daniel’s interpretation of Nebuchadnezzar’s dream in Daniel chapter 2 gives us revelation about five kingdoms. The stone which supernaturally cut off the image of the fourth kingdom i.e. the Roman kingdom is the fifth kingdom and would be established by Christ Jesus forever. Though Babylonian astrology, Medo-Persian ethic, Greek art and philosophy, Roman law and ideas are still around, all these will definitely pass away. Christ’s kingdom has a small and humble beginning in the life of believers. It will grow and destroy the world’s order and last forever. Without gain-saying, the world order with its philosophy and values must be completely destroyed for Christ’s kingdom to be fully established. Since Christ’s kingdom would fill the whole Earth and extend to the New Heaven and Earth, allow the kingdom to be realised in your life. Also, preach the kingdom to others.

Point of Emphasis: The kingdom of Christ is forever.

Prayer Point: Help me O Lord, to be part of Christ’s kingdom that will last forever.
