• MARK 114-15 NOW AFTER JOHN WAS PUT IN PRISON,
  JESUS CAME TO GALILEE, PREACHING THE GOSPEL OF
  THE KINGDOM OF GOD, AND SAYING, THE TIME IS
  FULFILLED, AND THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS AT HAND.
  REPENT, AND BELIEVE IN THE GOSPEL. 

3

• JOHN 313 NO ONE HAS ASCENDED TO HEAVEN BUT HE
  WHO CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN, THAT IS, THE SON OF
  MAN WHO IS IN HEAVEN.

4

• LUKE 112 SO HE JESUS SAID TO THEM, WHEN YOU
  PRAY, SAY OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN, HALLOWED BE YOUR
  NAME. YOUR KINGDOM COME. YOUR WILL BE DONE ON
  EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN.

5

• 2 CORINTHIANS 520 NOW THEN, WE ARE AMBASSADORS
  FOR CHRIST  

6

• LUKE 1720-21 NOW WHEN HE WAS ASKED BY THE
  PHARISEES WHEN THE KINGDOM OF GOD WOULD COME, HE
  ANSWERED THEM AND SAID, THE KINGDOM OF GOD DOES
  NOT COME WITH OBSERVATION NOR WILL THEY SAY, SEE
  HERE! OR SEE THERE! FOR INDEED, THE KINGDOM OF
  GOD IS WITHIN YOU.

7

• MATTHEW 633 BUT SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD
  AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND ALL THESE THINGS SHALL
  BE ADDED TO YOU.

8

• MATTHEW 1344-46 AGAIN, THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS
  LIKE TREASURE HIDDEN IN A FIELD, WHICH A MAN
  FOUND AND HID AND FOR JOY OVER IT HE GOES AND
  SELLS ALL THAT HE HAS AND BUYS THAT FIELD. AGAIN,
  THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS LIKE A MERCHANT SEEKING
  BEAUTIFUL PEARLS, 46 WHO, WHEN HE HAD FOUND ONE
  PEARL OF GREAT PRICE, WENT AND SOLD ALL THAT HE
  HAD AND BOUGHT IT.

9

• MATTHEW 1923-24 THEN JESUS SAID TO HIS
  DISCIPLES, ASSUREDLY, I SAY TO YOU THAT IT IS
  HARD FOR A RICH MAN TO ENTER THE KINGDOM OF
  HEAVEN. AND AGAIN I SAY TO YOU, IT IS EASIER FOR
  A CAMEL TO GO THROUGH THE EYE OF A NEEDLE THAN
  FOR A RICH MAN TO ENTER THE KINGDOM OF GOD. 

10

• MATTHEW 1927 THEN PETER ANSWERED AND SAID TO
  HIM, SEE, WE HAVE LEFT ALL AND FOLLOWED YOU.
  THEREFORE WHAT SHALL WE HAVE? SO JESUS SAID TO
  THEM, ASSUREDLY I SAY TO YOU, THAT IN THE
  REGENERATION, WHEN THE SON OF MAN SITS ON THE
  THRONE OF HIS GLORY, YOU WHO HAVE FOLLOWED ME
  WILL ALSO SIT ON TWELVE THRONES, JUDGING THE
  TWELVE TRIBES OF ISRAEL.

11

• MATTHEW 1929-30 AND EVERYONE WHO HAS LEFT
  HOUSES OR BROTHERS OR SISTERS OR FATHER OR MOTHER
  OR WIFE OR CHILDREN OR LANDS, FOR MY NAME'S SAKE,
  SHALL RECEIVE A HUNDREDFOLD, AND INHERIT ETERNAL
  LIFE. BUT MANY WHO ARE FIRST WILL BE LAST, AND
  THE LAST FIRST. 

12

• LUKE 1229 AND DO NOT SEEK WHAT YOU SHOULD EAT
  OR WHAT YOU SHOULD DRINK, NOR HAVE AN ANXIOUS
  MIND. 30 FOR ALL THESE THINGS THE NATIONS OF THE
  WORLD SEEK AFTER, AND YOUR FATHER KNOWS THAT YOU
  NEED THESE THINGS. 31 BUT SEEK THE KINGDOM OF
  GOD, AND ALL THESE THINGS SHALL BE ADDED TO YOU.
  32 DO NOT FEAR, LITTLE FLOCK, FOR IT IS YOUR
  FATHERS GOOD PLEASURE TO GIVE YOU THE KINGDOM. 

13

• ACTS 319 REPENT THEREFORE AND BE CONVERTED,
  THAT YOUR SINS MAY BE BLOTTED OUT, SO THAT TIMES
  OF REFRESHING MAY COME FROM THE PRESENCE OF THE
  LORD, 20 AND THAT HE MAY SEND JESUS CHRIST, WHO
  WAS PREACHED TO YOU BEFORE, 21 WHOM HEAVEN MUST
  RECEIVE UNTIL THE TIMES OF RESTORATION OF ALL
  THINGS, WHICH GOD HAS SPOKEN BY THE MOUTH OF ALL
  HIS HOLY PROPHETS SINCE THE WORLD BEGAN. 

14

• DANIEL 244 AND IN THE DAYS OF THESE KINGS THE
  GOD OF HEAVEN WILL SET UP A KINGDOM WHICH SHALL
  NEVER BE DESTROYED AND THE KINGDOM SHALL NOT BE
  LEFT TO OTHER PEOPLE IT SHALL BREAK IN PIECES
  AND CONSUME ALL THESE KINGDOMS, AND IT SHALL
  STAND FOREVER. 

15

• ISAIAH 22 NOW IT SHALL COME TO PASS IN THE
  LATTER DAYS THAT THE MOUNTAIN OF THE LORDS HOUSE
  SHALL BE ESTABLISHED ON THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAINS,
  AND SHALL BE EXALTED ABOVE THE HILLS AND ALL
  NATIONS SHALL FLOW TO IT. 3 MANY PEOPLE SHALL
  COME AND SAY, COME, AND LET US GO UP TO THE
  MOUNTAIN OF THE LORD, TO THE HOUSE OF THE GOD OF
  JACOB HE WILL TEACH US HIS WAYS, AND WE SHALL
  WALK IN HIS PATHS. FOR OUT OF ZION SHALL GO FORTH
  THE LAW, AND THE WORD OF THE LORD FROM JERUSALEM.
  4 HE SHALL JUDGE BETWEEN THE NATIONS, AND REBUKE
  MANY PEOPLE THEY SHALL BEAT THEIR SWORDS INTO
  PLOWSHARES, AND THEIR SPEARS INTO PRUNING HOOKS
  NATION SHALL NOT LIFT UP SWORD AGAINST NATION,
  NEITHER SHALL THEY LEARN WAR ANYMORE.

16

• DANIEL 121 AT THAT TIME MICHAEL SHALL STAND UP,
  THE GREAT PRINCE WHO STANDS WATCH OVER THE SONS
  OF YOUR PEOPLE AND THERE SHALL BE A TIME OF
  TROUBLE, SUCH AS NEVER WAS SINCE THERE WAS A
  NATION, EVEN TO THAT TIME. AND AT THAT TIME YOUR
  PEOPLE SHALL BE DELIVERED, EVERY ONE WHO IS FOUND
  WRITTEN IN THE BOOK.

17

• MATTHEW 2422 AND UNLESS THOSE DAYS WERE
  SHORTENED, NO FLESH WOULD BE SAVED BUT FOR THE
  ELECTS SAKE THOSE DAYS WILL BE SHORTENED. 

18

• MATTHEW 243 NOW AS HE SAT ON THE MOUNT OF
  OLIVES, THE DISCIPLES CAME TO HIM PRIVATELY,
  SAYING, TELL US, WHEN WILL THESE THINGS BE? AND
  WHAT WILL BE THE SIGN OF YOUR COMING AND OF THE
  END OF THE AGE? 

19

• MATTHEW 244-5 AND JESUS ANSWERED AND SAID TO
  THEM TAKE HEED THAT NO ONE DECEIVES YOU. FOR
  MANY WILL COME IN MY NAME, SAYING, I AM THE
  CHRIST, AND WILL DECEIVE MANY. 

20

• MATTHEW 246 AND YOU WILL HEAR OF WARS AND
  RUMORS OF WARS. SEE THAT YOU ARE NOT TROUBLED
  FOR ALL THESE THINGS MUST COME TO PASS, BUT THE
  END IS NOT YET. 

21

• MATTHEW 247 FOR NATION WILL RISE AGAINST
  NATION, AND KINGDOM AGAINST KINGDOM. AND THERE
  WILL BE FAMINES, PESTILENCES, AND EARTHQUAKES IN
  VARIOUS PLACES. 

22

• MATTHEW 249 THEN THEY WILL DELIVER YOU UP TO
  TRIBULATION AND KILL YOU, AND YOU WILL BE HATED
  BY ALL NATIONS FOR MY NAME'S SAKE. 10 AND THEN
  MANY WILL BE OFFENDED, WILL BETRAY ONE ANOTHER,
  AND WILL HATE ONE ANOTHER. 

23

• MATTHEW 2411 THEN MANY FALSE PROPHETS WILL RISE
  UP AND DECEIVE MANY.

24

• MATTHEW 2436 BUT OF THAT DAY AND HOUR NO ONE
  KNOWS, NOT EVEN THE ANGELS OF HEAVEN, BUT MY
  FATHER ONLY. 

25

• MATTHEW 2412 AND BECAUSE LAWLESSNESS WILL
  ABOUND, THE LOVE OF MANY WILL GROW COLD.

26

• MATTHEW 2413 BUT HE WHO ENDURES TO THE END
  SHALL BE SAVED.

27

• MATTHEW 2414 AND THIS GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM
  WILL BE PREACHED IN ALL THE WORLD AS A WITNESS TO
  ALL THE NATIONS, AND THEN THE END WILL COME.
