Re: The coming of the kingdom of God

Re: The coming of the kingdom of God

Thanks for the reply Andrew. Your comment about how “the kingdom language disappears because there are no more enemies to challenge the sovereignty of God over his people” is very interesting. I have never thought of it that way.

In my opinion or, rather, in the opinion of our small club, this view makes alot of sense. I’m interested to hear objections to this view of the Kingdom of God. I suppose, like most of the New Testament, this ‘story’ is couched in the larger eschatological narrative that you propose in COSM. Hence, its resitance to be moulded into a more abstract universal idea.
