Isaiah, in che 9th chapter, beginni ng
che 6th verse:
"For unw us a child is born, unco
us a son is given: and che GOVF.RN–
MENT shall be upon his shouJder: and
his name shall be caBed Wonderful,
Counsellor, The mighry God, rhe
everlascing Farher, The Prince of
Peace. Of rhe increase of his govern–
menr and PEJ\CE rhere shall
be
no end,
upon rhe rhrone of David, and upon·
his kingdom, ro order ir, and
ro
esrab–
lish ir wich judgmenr and wich jusrice
from henceforrh even for ever. The
zeal of rhe Lord of hoscs wi ll perform
chis."
Read rhac againl Think of icl A
CHILD is boro. That means a HUMAN
child. Yer he is
ro
be catled che
Mighty God - che PRINCE OF
PEACE! He is ro become a grear KING
- for the GOVERNMENT shall be On
his shoulder. Ir shall INCREJ\SE conrin–
ually withouc end - FOREVER! He is
ro
REIGN on che rhrone of David!
Now follow chis prophecy on
rhrough. We conrinue wirh irs fulfill–
menr in Luke. che first chaprer, begin–
ning che 30th verse:
An angel was speaking ro rhe vir–
gin Mary: "Fear nor, Mary: for rhou
hast found favour wirh God. And be–
hold, chou shalr conceive in rhy
womb, and bring forrh a son, and
shalr call his name JESUS. He shall be
grear, and shall be called rhe Son of
rhe Highesr: and che Lord God shall
give unto him che throne of his farher
David : and he shall reign over che
house of Jacob for ever; and of bis
kingdom chere shall be no end."
Here, in che Nr.w Tescamenr of
rhe Bible, are almosr rhe same words
as rhe prophecy in Isaiah, wich cwo
additions - rhe child was born of rhe
virgin Mary - che mother's name is
now idenrified. And che chiJd's name
is idenrified. He was JESUS. He is rhe
Son of Goo, as well as of rhe human
Mary.
Now WHAT was Jesus' G<2spel -
His Message from God - His AN–
NOUCEMENT? And WHY have you
probabl y never heard ir? You haven'c
heard ir because every effort was madc

The Gospel of che K1 NGOOM OF
GoD! The announcemenc of rhe very
GOVERNMENT rhac is

Why did chey put Jesus ro deach?
Because He said He was che furure
King of che world - ro rule che
whole e.1rrh! Because of His MESSAGE!
H is own people - His "cirizens" -
said, "We will nor have rhis man ro
reign over us" (Luke 19:14) .
On erial for His life before Filare,
He said: " ... I ama king. To chis end
was I born, and for rhis cause came I
inco rhe world." Buc He also said,
'·My Kingdom is nor of rhis world"
(John 18:36-37). His governmenr is
ncr of chis
.'\r.E -
chis presenr world
- rhis rime.
In rhe 19th chaprer of Luke is rhe
accounr of rhe parable in which Jesus
piccured himself as a young noble–
roan, going inro a far counrry (God's
rhrone in heaven) ro be given rhe au–
choriry ro reign, and rhen

John
ir
is recorded rhar Jesus spoke of
going ro rhe rhrone of God, che
Farher, in heaven. And He said thar if
He wenr, HEWOULD COME J\GAIN. In

And WHEN was Jesus ro rerurn in

Jesus rhac quesrion. And He an–
