WOS-II-3  THE KINGDOM OF GOD IN PROSPECT  

Introduction:

One of the greatest evidences of the inspiration of the Bible is prophecy; and one of the most spectacular examples of this is in the prophecies concerning the kingdom of God. The thread of the kingdom is found woven throughout the entire Bible. Even in the Book of Esther in which there is not one mention of God, we see the mighty providence of God preserving the Israelites from destruction so the nation would survive and produce the Messiah despite Satan’s attempts to thwart the purpose of God. This is a two-part lesson with three points. Point "I " is considered here; points "II-The Great Kingdoms of Prophecy  & III- The Kingdom at Hand" are considered in the next lesson.
