What Was Jesus’ Gospel?

“I must preach the kingdom of God

...

because

for this purpose I have been sent” (Luke 4:43).

“Now after John was put in prison, Jesus came to Galilee,

preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, and saying,

‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand.

Repent, and believe in the gospel’” (Mark 1:14-15).

Jesus began His ministry with these words announcing the King

-

dom of God. The time He had in mind to be “fulfilled” was probably

a reference to the prophecy in Daniel 9:24-25, where it is said that the

Messiah would come 483 years from the decree to rebuild Jerusalem.

The year A.D. 27 was when the 483 years specified in the prophecy

would end (see “The Bible Prophesied the Exact Year the Messiah

Would Appear,”. The year 27 is significant because that is the

year Jesus began His ministry. He began preaching the message of the

Kingdom of God in Galilee.

As we saw in the last chapter, the people and even Christ’s own disciples had many misconceptions about the Messiah and His mission.

People still misunderstand today, but in a totally different way. Many

fail to realize that the future, world-ruling Kingdom prophesied in so

many places in the Old Testament was at the heart of Jesus’ message

and teaching.

A literal kingdom on earth

Most people don’t understand that the Kingdom of God is a literal

kingdom, a government both divine and royal ruling over literal people

on the earth. This is not merely a symbolic or a spiritual rule, a sentiment that exists only in human hearts. As we will see, it is far more.

And Jesus simply continued the prophecies about this Kingdom that had

begun to be revealed in the Old Testament.

A prophecy of this coming Kingdom is graphically depicted in Daniel

2. In this prophecy the Babylonian king, Nebuchadnezzar, was shown an

image that represents the major kingdoms or empires that would dominate the Middle East. The image represents first the kingdom of Babylon,

and then three successive kingdoms that would rule until the Kingdom

of God would be “set up.” This Kingdom of God will put an end to the

rule of the previous kingdoms.

Notice the description of this final Kingdom, the Kingdom of God,
