Thy Kingdom Come

On this episode, we step into one of the Bible’s most sweeping storylines—the Kingdom of God. From ancient promises spoken to Israel to the future reign of Jesus on earth, we trace how Scripture builds a unified, unfolding vision of God's ultimate plan and purpose.

You’ll explore the five essential elements of a kingdom—its king, people, land, capital city, and law—and see how each one anchors Israel’s story and points forward to Christ’s return. Along the way, we highlight the signs Scripture gives for the restoration of God’s reign and why this hope shapes the way we live today.

Key Verse:

After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven." Matthew 6:9-10
