Transforming Series (20):Jesus did not preach salvation. Jesus preached the Kingdom! By Revee Peter & Teacher Josimar Salum


“For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.” 1 Timothy 4:10 KJV

This is a strange verse! How the Living God is not just the Savior of those who believe, but to all men, specially of those that believe?

This is why Yeshua didn't preach about salvation. He preached Kingdom. Preaching Salvation is when you are trying to get people into heaven. Preaching the Kingdom is when you bring Heaven into people. 

Paul said: “And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.” Romans 13:11 KJV

Let me repeat: "Yeshua never preached salvation". A target has many circles, and they are all 100% part of the target... BUT, it has only one bull's eye! The Kingdom message is the bull's eye. Salvation is the largest circle on the target. The kingdom is the heart of the King. It is the dot at the center of the bull's eye! So... It's ok that Paul spoke about salvation. But I am not in this world to preach Paul. I AM here to preach Yeshua (Jesus)!and He never preached salvation.

For the Son of Man came to seek and save what was lost.” Luke (Luk) 19:10 CJB 
What, which; not whom! "For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.” Matthew 18:11 KJV

“For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.” Colossians 1:16-17, 20 KJV

This is the Kingdom, the bull's eye! I AM the bull's eye! I AM the kingdom. And I AM not alone! All things! Jesus loves the world, the Kosmos, not just men!

“For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. 

For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. 

Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. 

For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.” 1 Corinthians 15:21-25 KJV

“For if because of one man's trespass (lapse, offense) death reigned through that one, much more surely will those who receive [God's] overflowing grace (unmerited favor) and the free gift of righteousness [putting them into right standing with Himself] reign as kings in life through the one Man Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).” Romans 5:17 AMP

“Heaven must receive him until the time comes for God to restore everything, as he promised long ago through his holy prophets.

And you are heirs of the prophets and of the covenant God made with your fathers. He said to Abraham, ‘Through your offspring all peoples on earth will be blessed.’” Acts 3:21, 25 NIV

“And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood, and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father—to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen. “Look, he is coming with the clouds,” and “every eye will see him, even those who pierced him”; and all peoples on earth “will mourn because of him.” So shall it be! Amen.” Revelation 1:5-7 NIV

“The seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, which said: “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah, and he will reign for ever and ever.”” Revelation 11:15 NIV

So let me repeat again: Jesus didn't preach salvation. He preached the Kingdom. The apostles didn't preach salvation. The apostles preached the Kingdom. Even John the Baptist didn't preach salvation. John the Baptist preached the Kingdom. 

I hope you get this right! I hope your feet be beautiful on the mountains, you who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, “Your God reigns!”” Isaiah 52:7 NIV

GOD Reigns! That is your message! Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done! 

"I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be fulfilled.” Then the angel left her.” Luke 1:38 NIV

And the Word stayed! Alleluia! And the Word stayed. 

"What does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the message concerning faith that we proclaim: If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord (Yeshua is King) and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:8-9 NIV And salvation has nothing to do with heaven! There is salvation - Greek sozo - because Jesus is King. Salvation is not just salvation from sins and condemnation, salvation is the total restoration of the Kingdom, it is everything in heaven and earth being reconciled to Jesus. 

“Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out! “Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?” “Who has ever given to God, that God should repay them?” For from him and through him and for him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen.”
Romans 11:33-36 NIV
