Good news of Gods kingdom

EarlyActs said:
The term kingdom ‘basileue’ is actually a reign. It is good news to those who desire it, but not otherwise. In fact they mock it as non-existent.

In A critical psalm, 2nd, we find the rulers and others opposed to the reign. Peter shows clearly in Acts 2-4 that Christ is enthroned but still rejected.

The reign of course is when He and his commands are consider the final authority. A secular state can’t always do this as such, but there are many individuals through history who have achieved very high in this.

The bible is filled with promises of what Gods kingdom rule will do for mankind. That is what i am looking for-Its the good news of the kingdom.

A grammatical note: there is a difference between genetive and possessive prepositions. Genetive means the thing (news) came from the object (kingdom). That's what these expressions are. Possessive means it would be news about it. The genetive mode means that it is still one Gospel, His dying and being raised, all through. We do see more of the meaning of enthronement (that's what the resurrection was) in Acts 2-4, where Ps 2 is expounded; we should honor Him, because God will avenge all those who neglect him (Acts 17). And Acts 2:31 makes clear that the Gospel is what David foresaw.

When Jesus came , the reign came. That’s what at hand, or near , or among you means.

There are images of the OT that are not meant as literally as you are saying. For rx, see how Acts 15 says Amos 9 came to pass.

This is the message to be taught here in these last days( Matt 24:14) Thus Jesus' religion teaches the flock that message. The bible is filled with facts of what it will accomplish for mankind. Thus every true follower knows them. Please share some of that good news the bible teaches. Can you?

Here is the good news (i.e. the declaration of Christ's victory over sin, death and hell).

1 Cor. 15:1-8 (WEB)
1 Now I declare to you, brothers, the Good News which I preached to you, which also you received, in which you also stand,
2 by which also you are saved, if you hold firmly the word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.
3 For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,
5 and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.
6 Then he appeared to over five hundred brothers at once, most of whom remain until now, but some have also fallen asleep.
7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles,
8 and last of all, as to the child born at the wrong time, he appeared to me also.

Tell it to Jesus (post #11) who said it was internal, not external.

Good news indeed but not linked to the reign
 
Jesus invites His children to:
"Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. "Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. "For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."

- Matthew 11:28-30 View attachment 942
