The Kingdom Of God In The Old Testament

""The Kingdom of God in the Old Testament"" is a comprehensive study of the concept of the Kingdom of God as it appears throughout the Old Testament. Written by Archibald Robertson, a well-respected theologian and professor of Old Testament studies, this book explores the various ways in which the Kingdom of God is portrayed in the Hebrew Scriptures, from the Garden of Eden to the prophets of Israel.Robertson begins by examining the concept of the Kingdom of God in the creation story, arguing that the Garden of Eden represents a type of proto-kingdom, where God and humanity dwell together in perfect harmony. He then moves on to explore the role of the patriarchs in the development of the Kingdom of God, showing how their faith and obedience helped to establish God's rule on earth.The book also delves into the history of Israel, examining the role of the judges and kings in the establishment and maintenance of the Kingdom of God. Robertson argues that the reigns of David and Solomon represent the high point of Israel's relationship with God, as they were able to establish a stable and prosperous kingdom that reflected God's rule.Finally, the book explores the prophetic literature of the Old Testament, showing how the prophets looked forward to a future Kingdom of God that would be established through the coming of the Messiah. Robertson argues that the prophetic vision of the Kingdom of God is ultimately fulfilled in the person of Jesus Christ, who inaugurated the Kingdom through his life, death, and resurrection.Overall, ""The Kingdom of God in the Old Testament"" is a rich and insightful exploration of one of the central themes of the Hebrew Scriptures. It provides a detailed and nuanced understanding of the concept of the Kingdom of God, showing how it developed over time and ultimately found its fulfillment in the person of Jesus Christ.THIS 38 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Regnum Dei, by Archibald Robertson.
