Is the kingdom in Colossians the same kingdom God promised to David and to the disciples?
The kingdom mentioned in Colossians is the same kingdom promised to David and Solomon, promised later to the disciples in Matthew and the Gospels, and referenced in Acts. It is also the same kingdom that will come upon the earth. It is one consistent kingdom, not different kingdoms.
Les explains that 'the kingdom is the kingdom is the kingdom.' Whatever kingdom was promised to David and Solomon, and the later promise to the disciples in Matthew and the Gospels, later made reference to in Acts, is the same kingdom now mentioned in Colossians. It is also the same kingdom that is coming upon the earth. He stresses, 'It's the same one.' In the Colossians context, the Father has delivered believers from the power of darkness and translated them into the kingdom of His dear Son.
Is the kingdom in Colossians the same kingdom promised in the Old Testament?
Yes. The kingdom mentioned in Colossians is the same kingdom promised to David and Solomon, later promised to the disciples in Matthew and the Gospels, referenced in Acts, and still coming upon the earth. Scripture presents one kingdom throughout these promises, not a different kingdom.
Is the kingdom in the Old Testament and the Gospels the same kingdom Paul mentions in Colossians and the one that will come to earth?
