The Gospel of
the Kingdom of Elohim
by Dave R. Mode, Jr.
“And this gospel of the kingdom
will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and
then the end will come” (Matt. 24:14 NIV)
“The gospel of the kingdom
of Elohim” is the good news or message concerning things pertaining to the
kingdom of Elohim. The purpose of this kingdom message is to provide revelation
of YHWH's plan to restore all things through Messiah Yahshua. The plan of restoration involves salvation from sin, restored
dominion of redeemed mankind and the new earth and new heavens.
A glance back at the initial
design of Elohim prior to the fall of mankind will help give greater insight
into the purpose for the gospel of the kingdom of Elohim. After Elohim created
mankind, the scriptures reveal that man was in an eternal state with authority
over the earth realm.
After mankind sinned, he
lost fellowship with Elohim, his dominion over the earth realm and his eternal
state. Man was now subject to physical death and his earth realm dominion
had been assumed by Satan-the Devil. Due to these existing conditions,
the plan of restoration through the gospel of the kingdom of Elohim has been
set in motion. The purpose of the kingdom of Elohim is to establish the dominion
of the Most High in the earth realm through the redeemer (Yahshua) and redeemed
mankind (Elohim's Israel). The scriptures prophetically reveal that the rule
and reign of the people of Elohim with Messiah on the earth marks the complete
development of the kingdom of Elohim.
Messiah Yahshua began
his ministry preaching the message of the kingdom of Elohim declaring that
all should repent. Yahshua made it clear that entrance into the
kingdom required that a person be born again. That is to be born of the
Spirit of Elohim. Being born again brings a person into restored fellowship
with Elohim the Father. This is the first work of Elohim in the process of the
restoration. That is fellowship with the Father being restored.
After fellowship with the
Father has been restored, the redeemed people of Elohim are put in a position
to have restored dominion. Restored dominion begins first in the spirit
realm because the kingdom has been established first in the spirit realm. The kingdom of Elohim came in the spirit simultaneously with the first advent
of Messiah Yahshua. Listen to these words of Messiah.
“And Yahushua knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand: And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand? And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges. But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of Elohim, then the kingdom of Elohim is come unto you.” (Matt.
12:25-28 RNKJV).
