In Exodus 19:5-6 we read that God called the nation of Israel to be a special treasure to God. God was forming a new nation on the earth.

God was going to make them kingdom of priests. This was God's plan from the beginning of history when God gave Adam authority over all the earth.

Through mankind God would establish His kingdom on earth and He began through the following Biblical accounts

• Abraham
• Moses
• John the Baptist
• Jesus' public ministry

The kingdom of heaven is on earth right now in the heart of every person who receives Christ.

But the kingdom of heaven is always meeting resistance as Satan looks to overthrow God's kingdom.

God's children must take it by force.
