Revelation is given in stages
New revelation is always interpreted in light of previous revelation.

The phrase “kingdom of God” is too common to us and has become religious noise.
The idea is the same: God is the sovereign king and He rules everything.
R U L E R S H I Por as commonly referred to as:
“The kingdom of God”
The primary thing men rebel against is the rule of God in their own lives. This is the essence of sin: the rejection of God’s rulership over us.

Instead, we should ask, “How does my life fit in God’s plan?”
T H E P R O B L E MMan wants to live outside of God’s
rulership and authority.
Man has rejected God’s rulership over his life, and in doing so brings upon ourselves a problem that only God can solve.
P S A L M8:3-9
When I consider your heavens, the work of your hands, The moon and the stars
which you have ordained,
P S A L M8:3-9
Yet you have made him a little lower than God, And crowned him with glory and
majesty!
P S A L M8:3-9
You make him to rule over the works of your hands;
You have put all things under his feet,
P S A L M8:3-9
All sheep and oxen, and also the beasts of the field,
The birds of the heavens and the fish of the sea....
