Yeshua’s Views of the Kingdom of Heaven

“Heaven” was a well-known euphemism, among many others, for the name “Yahweh” in the Jewish culture of Yeshua. Below are comments about what the Kingdom of Heaven meant to Yeshua:

(1) It was not only the eschatological (end times) rule of God that would come in the future.

(2)  It was already on the earth now.

(3) It was a divinely willed movement that will spread among people throughout the earth.

(4) It was more than just simply a matter of God’s kingship in Israel.

(5) It was also the domain of his rule.

(6) It was an expanding realm embracing ever more and more people.

(7) It was a realm into which one may enter and find one’s inheritance.

(8) It was a realm where there are both great and small.

I hope you found this study interesting.

The Talmud contains a very interesting account of the act of stoning that may provide the answer. “When the trial was over, they take him [the condemned person] out to be stoned. The place of stoning was at a distance from the court, as it is said, ‘Take out the one who has cursed.’ [i] A man stands at the entrance of the court; in his hand is a signaling flag [Hebrew   sudarin = sudar , ‘scarf, sweater’]. A horseman was stationed far away but within sight of him. If one [of the judges] says, ‘I have something [more] to say in his favor,’ he [the signaler] waves the   sudarin , and the horseman runs and stops them [from stoning him]. Even if [the condemned person] himself says, ‘I have something to say in my favor,’ they bring him back, even four of five times, only provided that there is some substance to...
