JESUS PREACHED THE KINGDOM! Rabbi Peter Oliveira & Josimar Salum

JESUS PREACHED THE KINGDOM! Rabbi Peter Oliveira & 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 

The Savior of all men, specially of those who believe, since the beginning, preached the Kingdom. 

“From that time on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.”” Matthew‬ ‭4:17‬

What brings reproach and labor is the message of the Kingdom and not the message of salvation. 

The message of the Kingdom is about the rulership of God over everyone and everything. 

This is why Yeshua (Jesus) didn't preach about salvation. Yeshua preached the Kingdom. 

You preach salvation when you are trying to get people into heaven. 

You preach the Kingdom when you bring Heaven into people. 

Bringing heaven into people is not bringing the blessings of heaven, but primarily the rulership of God. It has to do with His will being obeyed. 

“Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” Matthew‬ ‭6:10‬

Before the governor Pilate, the ruler of the powerful Roman Empire the arguments were not about the man who saves, but the One who reigns. 

“From then on Pilate sought to release Him, but the Jews cried out, saying, “If you let this Man go, you are not Caesar’s friend. Whoever makes himself a king speaks against Caesar.” 

When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus out and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called The Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha. Now it was the Preparation Day of the Passover, and about the sixth hour. 

And he said to the Jews, “Behold your King!” But they cried out, “Away with Him, away with Him! Crucify Him!” Pilate said to them, “Shall I crucify your King?” 

The chief priests answered, “We have no king but Caesar!” 

Then he delivered Him to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus and led Him away. 

And He, bearing His cross, went out to a place called the Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha, where they crucified Him, and two others with Him, one on either side, and Jesus in the center. 

Now Pilate wrote a title and put it on the cross. And the writing was: JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.” John‬ ‭19:12-19‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

THE KING DIED, THEREFORE HE SAVES. 

The salvation is based on the fact that the Creator and Rule of the Universe became flesh as the King Jesus. 

““Listen to another parable: There was a landowner who planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a winepress in it and built a watchtower. 

Then he rented the vineyard to some farmers and moved to another place. 

When the harvest time approached, he sent his servants to the tenants to collect his fruit. 

“The tenants seized his servants; they beat one, killed another, and stoned a third. 

Then he sent other servants to them, more than the first time, and the tenants treated them the same way. 

Last of all, he sent his son to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said. 

“But when the tenants saw the son, they said to each other, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him and take his inheritance.’ 

So they took him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. 

“Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?”

 “He will bring those wretches to a wretched end,” they replied, “and he will rent the vineyard to other tenants, who will give him his share of the crop at harvest time.” 

Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures: “ ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; the Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes’? 

“Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit. 

Anyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; anyone on whom it falls will be crushed.” 

When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard Jesus’ parables, they knew he was talking about them. 

They looked for a way to arrest him, but they were afraid of the crowd because the people held that he was a prophet.” Matthew‬ ‭21:33-46‬ 

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 

Paul said ... 

Let me repeat: "Yeshua never preached salvation"

THE KINGDOM IS THE BULL’S EYE

A target has many circles,  and they are all 100% part of the target... BUT, it only has 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, and He never preached salvation.

THE SON OF MAN CAME TO SEEK WHAT WAS LOST, NOT SIMPLY WHOM WAS LOST

For the Son of Man came to seek and save what was lost.”‭ Luke 19:10. What, which; not whom!

“For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.”‭ Matthew 18:11

“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!

“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 comes 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 

SALVATION IS NOT ABOUT MEN, IT IS ABOUT RESTORATION OF EVERYTHING.

“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 ‭

“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 

“The seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, which said: 

“The kingdoms 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

JESUS DIDN’T PREACH SALVATION 

So let me repeat again: Jesus didn't preached salvation. Jesus 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 are beautiful on the mountains. The beauty is from who that bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, “Your God reigns!”” Isaiah ‭52:7‬

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

And the Word stayed! Alleluia!
