Kingdom of God

Contradictions are Solved!

Universal Kingdom is Eternal while the Mediatorial Kingdom is

Temporal

The Mediatorial Kingdom is local in nature as the Lord reigns overhis subjects on earth

Kingdom Study SeriesMediatorial Kingdom of God- The Establishment

Process of Establishment: Supernatural

Deut (4:34) By signs and wondersand by greatterrors

Three specific events that ushered in the Kingdom

1. God calls Moses to be leader

2. God reveals to Israel, his nation

3. God reveals and establishes Kingdom to Egypt and

surrounding nations


10/18


1. God calls Moses to be leader

a) Gods call at Burning Bush (Ex 3:1-10, Act 7:30)

b) Mountain of God: Horeb or Mt Sinai was where the Kingdom

was established

c) God reveals himself to Moses (alone)

d) Character of God in Mediatorial Kingdom

Burning Fire God Judgment (Ps 72:1-2, Is 2:4, Gen 19:24, Ex

9:23, Rev 20:9) I AM THAT I AM God Sovereignty ( Ex 3:14, Dan 4:34, 35)

God keeps his Covenant A Covenant keeping God (Ex

3:6)

Take off your sandals A Holy God (Ex 3:5, Lev 11:44)

But am sure King of Egypt will not let you go.(v19) A all

knowing God, the foreknowledge of God. Praise God that in

his foreknowledge he destined us to be his children and sons

and Kings and Priests and judges.

Mediatorial Kingdom of God- The Establishment


12/18


3. God reveals and establishes Kingdom to Egypt and

surrounding nations

Who is the Lord that I should obey his voice to let Israelgo?... Ex 5:2

A challenge that God answered in two phases:

In Grace (Ex 7:1-10)

In judgment ( Ex 8 to Ex 14).

At the end of period of Judgment:

Kingdom was manifest to Israel and Israel acknowledged

him (Ex 14:31, Ex 15:18)

Kingdom was manifest to surrounding nations (Ex 15:14-

17)

The period of Grace will end in Judgment for the world

with the consequence that whole world will accept the

reign of Christ during the millennium mediatorial

kingdom.



13/18


Kingdom Ruler Appointed

Only time Moses is referred to as a King in OT (Deut 33:5) but new

research now almost certain that the He there is God and not

Moses.Testimony in Act7:35 is decisive that Moses was a King and a

ruler

Moses represented God to Israel

Ex 7:1 I have made thee as God to PharaohEx 4:16 Moses to stand instead of God

Moses identifies rebellion against him as rebellion to God (Num

16:28-30)

Moses represented Israel to GodMoses again and again stood and argued the case of Israel before

God (Deut 9:24-29)

There was no intercession for those who rebelled (Korah and his

men). They went to Sheol alive (Num 16:28-30)

Commission

Prophetic ( John

17:9 )



14/18


Prophetic: Moses is antitype of Christ, in the final phase

of the Mediatorial Kingdom (Deut 18:15)

Authority: His authority cannot be questioned (Deut18:19). Peter applies this in Acts 3:19-23.

Rebellion: Rebellion of Korah is an open reminder on how

rebellion against the one greater than Moses will be dealt

with (Heb 12:25-28)Take care not to refuse the one whois speaking! For if they did not escape when they refused

the one who warned them on earth, how much less shall

we, if we reject the one who warns from heaven? Heb 2:3;

26 Then his voice shook the earth, but now he haspromised, I will once more shake not only the earth but

heaven too. Hag 2:6; 27Now this phrase once more

indicates the removal of what is shaken, that is, of created

things, so that what is unshaken may remain. 28So since

we are receiving an unshakable kingdom, let us give

thanks, and through this let us offer worship pleasing to

God in devotion and awe. 1Pet 2:5; 29 For our God is

indeed a devouring fire.

Selective Intercession: Just like Moses did not intercede for

Korah, there will be no intercession for those who reject the

Kingdom (John 17:9) But.: Moses was imperfect (Deut 32:51) while Christ will

be perfect mediator king in the coming Kingdom. (Is 32:1

Righteousness, Is 11:2-5Holiness, Is 2:4 Peace, Is 9:3,4

Joy, Is 4:2 Glory, (Isaiah 11:1-2, 11:9, 41:19-20, 54:13,Habakkuk 2:14 Teaching Ministry of Spirit)

Kingdom Covenant established

Ex 19:6 Ye shall be unto me a Kingdom

In Ex 3:12 God says Surely I will be with you, and this will be the sign to youthat I have sent you: When you bring the people out of Egypt, you and they will

serve God on this mountain. In Ex 19:203 Moses climbs Sinai for that token.

First mention: First mention of Kingdom

Superiority: Kingdom to be given to one nation and lifted above all othernations

Intercessory: Covenant establishes that Israel will mediate for other nations

Separation: Israel to be separated. (vs 6) (Lev 11:44) (Ye shall be holy; for am

holy)

Conditional: If ye will obey my voice indeed (Ex 19:5)This is where Mosaic Covenant differed from the Abrahamic Covenant

(Deut 5:3) God did not make this covenant with our father but with us.

Abrahamic Covenant was unconditional (Gen 12:1-3).

All that the Lord hath spoken we will do ( Ex 19:8)

God approved the readiness of people of Israel but lamented their disobedience.(Deut 5:28,29).
