God is King and He is our FATHER—
We must not forget that
Man is made for law and love
He must hear the VOICE of his Heavenly FATHER

God’s Kingdom is an old Theme in the Bible
However it has been forgotten—
People often want to speak about what people like to hear and
So the Basileia (kingdom) of God has been neglected—
Jesus mentioned the Kingdom of God many times

Jesus said, “But seek first the “basileia” of God and
His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” (Mat 6:33) Basileia is the Greek word translated “kingdom” in the New Testament—
Basileia is used 164 times in the New Testament,
Over 100 times by our Lord Jesus the Christ
Basileia or kingdom has a prominent role in the teachings of Jesus
Most of His teachings had to do with the concept of this significant word He began many of the parables with this statement:
“(the basileia of Theos is like), the kingdom of God is like; ” and then
He would give an illustration teaching hidden wisdom of the kingdom of
God. Or, interchangeably, He would start the parable with, “(the basileia
of ouranos is like), the kingdom of heaven is like,” and then tell the
Parable of hidden “basileia” wisdom.”
