The kingdom is near
John and Jesus said that the kingdom was near. [1] [2] [3]
Kingdom belongs to:
- Poor in Spirit [4]
- Those persecuted for righteousness sake [5]
- From the east and the west: [6]
- John and those greater than he: [7]
- Little children: [8] [9] [10]
- The least: [11]
Teach
- Mt 5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
- Mt 13:52 Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.
Do
- Mt 5:20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
- Mt 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Kingdom suffered violence
- Mt 11:12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
Mysteries
- Mt 13:11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
Sowing is teaching
- Mt 13:24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
- Mt 13:31 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:
- Mt 13:33 Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
Teaching is valuable
- Mt 13:44 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
- Mt 13:45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:
- Mt 13:47 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:
Binding and loosing is teaching
- Mt 16:19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
Teaching of peace
- Mt 18:23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants.
Riddle, play on word
- Mt 19:12 For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother’s womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven’s sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.
The Hebrew word eunuch 'saric' סריס has two meanings (castrated, official) and is used as a metaphor in the third.
- The natural eunich: For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother’s womb:
- The ruler (saric) of men: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men:
- and the one who rules his own flesh for the sake of the teaching: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven’s sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it. This is the same teaching as Paul when he says he prefers that one remain single.
Difficulty in following the teaching
- Mt 19:23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Instant reward of the teaching
- Mt 20:1 For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.
All invited to the teaching
- Mt 22:2 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,
Hypocrisy keeps one from following the teaching
- Mt 23:13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.
Practice the teaching (by the Spirit) until he comes
- Mt 25:1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
Teach the teaching
- Mt 25:14 For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.
