What Is God's Kingdom?

4.What happened when Jesus began ruling?

God's Kingdom began ruling in 1914.  Jesus' first action as King was to throw Satan and his demons down to earth.  Satan became furious and began causing trouble throughout the earth.  (Revelation 12:7-10, 12) Since then, mankind's woes have severely increased. Wars, famines, epidemics, and earthquakes are all part of a "sign" that the Kingdom will soon take full charge of earth's affairs. -Read Luke 21:7, 10,11, 31. 

5. What does God's Kingdom accomplish?

By means of a global preaching work, God's Kingdom is already  uniting a great crowd of people from all nations. Millions of meek people are becoming subjects of Jesus. God's Kingdom will protect them when it destroys the present wicked system of things on earth. So all who want to benefit from God's Kingdom should learn to be obedient subjects of Jesus. -Read Revelation 7:9, 14, 16, 17. 

During a period of 1,000 years, the Kingdom will accomplish God's original purpose for mankind.  The earth will become a global paradise. Finally, Jesus will had the Kingdom back to his Father.  (1 Corinthians 15:24-26) Do you know someone whom you would like to tell about God's Kingdom? -Read Psalm 37:10, 11, 29.
