God’s Kingdom

Why All the Fuss?

6 Then I heard something like the voice of a vast multitude, like the sound of cascading waters, and like the rumbling of loud thunder, saying,

Hallelujah, because our Lord God, the Almighty,
reigns!
7 Let us be glad, rejoice, and give him glory,
because the marriage of the Lamb has come,
and his bride has prepared herself.
8 She was given fine linen to wear, bright and pure.

For the fine linen represents the righteous acts of the saints. Revelation 19:6 – 8 CSB

Have you ever wondered why we are so enchanted with Royal Weddings?

In my last post in this series, I discussed how everything God said and did pointed toward the coming of Jesus Christ.

In our last post, we discussed the fact that Jesus Christ had a very clear theology of the Kingdom of God because of the very central place it held in His ministry.  Our theology of God’s Kingdom tends to be rather shabby.
