The Kingdom and the Old Testament

Conclusion

The kingdom of God is a major theme of the Old Testament. Although
the term itself is not used, the idea fills its pages. Throughout the Old
Testament, God is seen as the King of Israel and the Sovereign Ruler over
all of creation. The Hebraic idea of God’s reign over all creation and over
His people laid the foundation for the proclamation of the gospel of the
Kingdom in the New Testament. The apostles’ message that “Jesus is
Lord” is another way of proclaiming that “Christ is King” as prophesied
in the Old Testament.
