The Kingdom in History and Prophecy Quotes

“There must be a great national heart-turning, or repentance to God as an immediate preparation for the kingdom as seen in the Old Testament (Deut. 30:1-3; Isa. 24:7; Hos. 3:4, 5; 14:7; Zech. 12:10-13:1; Mal. 3:7). Repentance, therefore, became an imperative part of the message concerning the imminency of the kingdom.”

And under this accusation He suffered (Mt. 27:29) and died (Mt. 27:37). One needs only to search the Scriptures to discover the fact that He is never mentioned as King of the church, nor King of the nations until He comes again as "King of kings, and Lord of lords" (Rev. 19:16).”
