It took me some time to develop a position statement that defines a kingdom development theory. God created man. God spoke the world in existence and gave man leadership of the planet. Then the plan changed from a universal mandate to a centralized one. Here is where the problems for man began. Of all the problems in the world the main issues are race, religion, and land ownership. The bible addresses all three in various ways to bring us to our full destiny. It starts out developing a people (Hebrews) who are unique and special in God's viewpoint and then moves to establishing worship (Judaism) of the one true God. Finally, God gives certain promises that includes specific territory (Israel) for obedience to God's Laws. That sums up the history and development of the Old Testament of the Bible. Enter the New Testament viewpoint of the Son of God. We discover the Father's plan was not for universal man (Adam), but a supernatural man (Jesus Christ). The people were not to be racial (Jews), but spiritual (Christians) and the promises not hereditary, but given by grace and faith. Along with this, the kingdom splits into two ideas - salvation and government and The Lord Jesus Christ is the central figure that bridges both concepts. How do you interprete the Kingdom?
