Jesus answered Pilate, "My kingdom is not of this world".
He did not come as a conquering King to defeat Rome, but as a suffering Servant to defeat Satan, sin, death, and hell. The King of Kings came as a man to reconcile humanity to God!
Get Jesus!
Even though Israel was desperately looking for a King to save them politically and free them nationally and culturally - they needed to be saved SPIRITUALLY!
Jesus made it very clear to Pilate that He was a King - but His kingdom was a not political one that would threaten him in any way. He didn't come to conquer Rome with His armies and swords - otherwise, His followers would have fought for Him along with His twelve legions of angels that He had at His disposal!
His heavenly Kingdom will be a kingdom standing on His sacrificial offering on the Cross -on His blood - for the redemption of the whole entire world!
Jesus came to destroy Satan's spiritual authority over the earth and over humanity. He came to destroy his works and crush his head as prophesied in Genesis. He came to claim victory over Satan's realm. He came to utterly demolish Satan, sin, death, and hell - FOREVER!! While His kingdom is not OF this world, the Lord’s kingdom is most certainly IN this world.
“For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit” (Ro 14:17).
The church and the Holy Spirit are exercising authority over this world and impacting it - and will continue to do so until Jesus takes us out of this world in the rapture. He will keep His Church from the judgment of God, the 7-year tribulation - the most horrific time the world will ever know!
After this, He will be back again for the second time to judge the nations and set up His Kingdom, as King of kings and Lord of lords of this world over the whole earth!!
Are you looking today for a political "King" that can turn things around in this nation and this world - so you can get back to your prosperity days? If so, you're looking for the Antichrist and you are going to find him soon.
God wants to save your soul!!! If you gain the whole world but lose your own soul - what good is it to you? Get saved today!! Believe in Jesus - THE KING who came to this earth to shed His blood on the cross for your sins so you could walk from death to life, so you could be reconciled with the Father! Believe in Him and enter into His Kingdom today!!
He's coming soon!!
