The Kingdom is in Place!

"The kingdom of the world has become the 

Kingdom of our Lord and Christ." - REVELATION 11:15.

When you look at world conditions, do you find it difficult to maintain a positive outlook? Family ties are fraying. People in general are becoming more and more violent, selfish, and aggressive. Many find it difficult to trust those in authority. But these very conditions can give you confidence. Why? Because people are acting exactly as was foretold in a remarkable prophecy about "the last days."( 2 Timothy 3:1-5) The fulfillment of this prophecy, which is impossible for any sincere and realistic person to deny, provides evidence that Christ Jesus has begun ruling as King of God's Kingdom. But this only one of the many prophecies concerning the Kingdom. It will be faith-strenghthening for us to review other prophecie that have been fulfilled in recent years.

In this article, we will consider (1)a prophecy that helps us discern when the Kingdom was established, (2)prophecies that help us perceive Jesus' invisible presence as King of God's Kingdom, and (3) prophecies that reveal how enemies of God's Kingdom will come to their end. We will see these prophecies fit together like the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle to provide a clear picture of where we are in Jehovah's timetable of events.
