THE PURPOSE OF THE KINGDOM
This opening chapter takes us back to the beginning of time and indeed prior to the beginning to understand what took place among the Godhead in “eternity past”. Here we clearly see why man was created, therefore shedding clear light on why we are alive today, since God’s purposes never change. The garden was God’s prototype for earth so we are encouraged to understand so we can better comprehend how God wants the earth to look today.
The awful plight of nakedness that comes on every level spiritually, morally etc. as a result of rejecting the glory of God’s Kingdom is also highlighted. This is another way to understand the purpose of something, by looking at the results and consequences of the alternatives of that thing. We also get to zoom in on the reality of natural and spiritual laws, and the supremacy of the latter.
Here is the essence of this chapter: Man was created to be the mirror of God who is Love, and the Garden of Eden was created to be the mirror of Heaven. Adam and Eve were supposed to reproduce both humanity and the glorious Garden of Eden throughout the rest of the earth.
The main concept of the chapter: The Kingdom of God that Jesus brought back cannot be fully fathomed without understanding the beginning of mankind and his God-given instructions. Therefore we must understand the Kingdom then, in order to realize the Kingdom now. They are one in the same yet expressed in the Old and New Testaments from different angles. We have the privilege of studying both parts so that we can have a full understanding of the purpose of the Kingdom, and are therefore without excuse if we fail to manifest it. The conclusion of this first chapter highlights the heart of God and of the author and the purpose of the book, as already we see an invitation to either enter, or return to the Kingdom of God, with step by step instructions.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD AND CHURCH
