The Kingdom came when...........

The Kingdom came when the King came.  Nothing can be clearer than that.  In His battle with evil Jesus saw the foretaste of the ultimate triumph of God in the earth.  Because He came preaching the Kingdom of God, He was demonstrating the glory and the power of that Kingdom and showing us the wealth of its glory by doing for the few what will eventually be done for the all when the light of His Kingdom shall cover all the earth as the waters cover the sea and every creature in heaven and in earth and under the earth shall sing praise and glory to the Lamb of God.  In His death He engaged in mortal combat with him who has the power of death, that is, the devil, and conquered.  Jesus was declared by the Father to be the Son of God with power because of His resurrection from the dead.   At the right hand of God He continues to reign through His body on earth and shall continue to reign from stage to stage, from victory to victory, and from glory to glory, until “He hath put all enemies under His feet” (I Cor. 15:25).
