In order to know what the kingdom is, we must know something about the king. We will examine what Jesus knew about the king from the scriptures he had available.
=The beginning=
The first verse of the Bible speaks of the Sovereign nature of God. Not only does it speak of him as the creator, implying that he has dominion over his creation, but it speaks more directly to him being 'over' his creation in the letters which make up the first word of the verse. This, in a vague way, speaks of God as king over all. In his name ''Elohim'', he speaks more directly to the meaning of ''The kingdom of heaven''.
==''Over'' and the invisible aleph==
If this is your first introduction to the hermeneutic of Jesus, this looks very strange. But hang on, you will quickly see that this is no accident, nor invention of men. The same message will be repeated in different ways, in the manner of teaching a child language.
=='''''Bereshith'', the Father and the Son==''' The first two letters of Genesis 1:1 are ''bet'' ב ''rosh'' ר. The ancient riddle asks: why does Genesis start witht he second letter of the alphabet and not the first? This was answered above. There is the invisible ''aleph'' א and the visible ''bet'' ב. This spells 'father' ''ab'' אב. But you cannot see the father because of the invisible aleph. From the beginning, no man has seen the Father. The Father is to the right of 'beginning' ''rashith'' ראשית so the Father is over the beginning. The first thing we see is the Son ''bar'' בר. The Son makes the Father known, because we ask why Genesis 1:1 starts with the second letter. The Father is to the right of the Son, so the Father is over the Son. But the son is to the right of the next four letters of ''bereshith'' אשית. When read letter by letter these letters say: the creation of the heavens and the earth א where his word did not return void ש what he intended to do י he completed ת. The son is ''over'' all of that. '''The first word''' The first word, when read by the letters says: A revelation to man ב it is revealed ר that God spoke and created the heavens and the earth א his word did not return void ש what he intended to do י he completed ת. This still seems a bit of a stretch to some. Let's examine it more closely, by dividing and parsing out the meaning of the embedded words. ב-ראשית : in ב – the beginning ראשית ב-ראש-י-ת : in ב - the authority of (heads of) ראש - the creator י – (makes it an object) ת בר(אש)ית : a covenant ברית with man אש at the center ברא-שית : created ברא an appointment/six שית בר-אשי-ת : the son בר – offered total devotion (fire offerings) אשי – (makes it an object) ת However we parse the word, we get the doctrine of Christ. '''Verse 1''' The invisible ''aleph'' said that God is the creator who is over all. The first two letters tell us that the Father, who is over all, is invisible, but made known through the Son. The purpose of the Son is to make the invisible Father known. The first word tells the same message. It has been told three times and now is told a fourth time: Ge 1:1 ¶ '''In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.''' God tells us the most important thing, over and over again in different ways so that we understand it: He is the invisible creator who is made known by the Son. '''The first chapter''' The first word ''bereshith'' when divided in half says - created ''bara'' ברא six ''shith'' שית. This explodes into the first chapter which describes how God created all things in six days. As the creator, he is sovereign over all.
==Verse 1=='''The whole Bible'''Each day of creation is a ''yom'' ים which is the word for ''day'' but in formation means - what God intended to do יfinished by the Son ם. Each day is a picture or pericope of how Christ fulfilled the Father's will. Each day is also like a Table of Contents entry pointing to a section of scripture, dividing the whole Bible into parts, each declaring that God is the Sovereign creator over all.
==Elohim==We might start to get the idea that this is the main idea, the primary theme, or the most important part of God's revelation about himself.
