Proclamation
Pagpapahayag

Isaiah 40:21
• Don’t you know?
• Haven’t you heard?
• Haven’t you been told from the beginning?
• Don’t you understand the foundations of the
earth?

Isaiah 40:21-31
Don’t you know? Haven’t you heard? Haven’t you
been told from the beginning? Don’t you
understand the foundations of the earth? God is
enthroned above the earth, & those who live on it
are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the sky
like a canopy & spreads it out like a tent to live in.
He makes rulers unimportant & makes earthly
judges worth nothing. They have hardly been
planted. They have hardly been sown. They have
hardly taken root in the ground. Then he blows
on them & they wither, & a windstorm sweeps
them...

Isaiah 40:21-31
… away like straw.
“To whom, then, can you compare me? Who is
my equal?” asks the Holy One. Look at the sky &
see. Who created these things? Who brings out
the stars one by one? He calls them all by name.
Because of the greatness of his might & the
strength of his power, not one of them is missing.
Jacob, why do you complain? Israel, why do you
say, “My way is hidden from the LORD, & my
rights are ignored by my God”? Don’t you
know?...

Isaiah 40:21-31
… Haven’t you heard? The eternal God, the
LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth,
doesn’t grow tired or become weary. His
understanding is beyond reach. He gives
strength to those who grow tired & increases the
strength of those who are weak. Even young
people grow tired & become weary, & young men
will stumble & fall. Yet, the strength of those who
wait with hope in the LORD will be renewed.
They will soar on wings like eagles. They will run
& won’t become weary. They will walk & won’t
grow tired.

• Re 11:15 – When the seventh angel blew his
trumpet, there were loud voices in heaven,
saying, “The kingdom of the world has become
the kingdom of our Lord & of his Messiah, & he
will rule as king forever & ever.”
• Ps 22:27-28 – All the ends of the earth will
remember & return to the LORD. All the
families from all the nations will worship you
because the kingdom belongs to the LORD &
he rules the nations.

Believers …
• Cynical about church & • Admit to busy, fast-paced,
possibility of the Christian life cluttered life & short attention
actually working span
• Cover their spiritual • Arrange lives around
emptiness, dryness, & personal desires, pleasures,
unsatisfaction & comforts
• Passive & apathetic. Good • Have separate ‘worlds’ in
intentions but lack of follow- their lives – church, work,
thru leisure, family, atbp.
• MY needs, MY rights, MY • Do what is expected, more
opinions out of habit than desire
• Spectator – watch, listen, but • Are spiritually sterile, barren,
not participate & nonproductive in witness
but aren’t troubled by it

Believers …
• Frustrated of trying to serve • Cover up a quiet
2 masters—Jesus &
someone or something else desperation inside
• Proud at being independent – “There’s gotta be
& self-sufficient
• Keep options open & remain
more to the
uncommitted in order to Christian life than
avoid getting tied down
this powerless
• Have little or no sense of
overriding spiritual purpose state I’m
or cause & prefer to drift experiencing!”

Good News

What Jesus Called Good
News

What did Jesus call the Good News?
How did he identify it? Please check the
following verses:
Mt 4:17, 23; Lu 4:43; Mt 9:35; Lu 8:1; Mt 24:14; Ac 1:3

What Jesus Called Good News
• Mt 4:17 – Jesus began to tell people, "Turn to
God & change the way you think & act,
because the kingdom of heaven is near!"
• Mt 4:23 – Jesus went all over Galilee. He
taught in the synagogues & spread the Good
News of the kingdom. He also cured every
disease & sickness among the people.
• Lu 4:43 – But he said to them, "I have to tell the
Good News about the kingdom of God in other
cities also. That’s what I was sent to do."

• Mt 9:35 – Jesus went to all the towns &
villages. He taught in the synagogues & spread
the Good News of the kingdom. He also cured
every disease & sickness.
• Lu 8:1 – After this, Jesus traveled from one city
& village to another. He spread the Good News
about God’s kingdom.
• Mt 24:14 – "This Good News about the
kingdom will be spread throughout the world as
a testimony to all nations.

• Ac 1:3 – After his death Jesus showed the
apostles a lot of convincing evidence that he
was alive. For 40 days he appeared to them &
talked with them about the kingdom of God.

• What is unusual about this?


The Kingdom of God
Ang Kaharian ng Diyos

Jan D. Hettinga, Follow Me (135-6)
• “Jesus did not call the cross or His death &
resurrection the good news. For Jesus, the
kingdom was the good news. The
magnificent work of the cross is the
beginning. Atonement, reconciliation,
redemption, justification, & propitiation are
all essential ingredients of the gospel, but
the theme of the good news is the rest,
freedom, peace, & high investment value of
living life under the leadership of the
Sovereign Lord of heaven & earth.”

If you were a non-
Jan to impress you with Follow
Christian, Hettinga,
take
D. what would it Me
the desirability of the
kingdom? What would so
intrigue you that your
nose print would be there
on the window beside the
others who were “just
looking”?
-Jan D. Hettinga, Follow Me

Was Jesus a …
Type Amount Goal

RECRUITER 1,000,000,000+ Believers

TRAINER 12 Disciples

Mt 28:18-20
• When Jesus came near, he spoke to them. He
said, “All authority in heaven & on earth has
been given to me. So wherever you go, make
disciples of all nations: Baptize them in the
name of the Father, & of the Son, & of the Holy
Spirit. Teach them to do everything I have
commanded you. And remember that I am
always with you until the end of time.”

What Paul called Good News
Paul is a major New Testament writer & it is his
writings in particular that shape our under-
standing of what the Good News is. What does
Paul call the Good News?
• Acts 20:21, 24, 25; 28:23, 31

• Ac 20:21 – I warned Jews & Greeks to change
the way they think & act & to believe in our Lord
Jesus.
• Ac 20:24 – But I don’t place any value on my
own life. I want to finish the race I’m running. I
want to carry out the mission I received from
the Lord Jesus––the mission of testifying to the
Good News of God’s kindness.
• Ac 20:25 – Now I know that none of you whom
I told about the kingdom of God will see me
again.

• Ac 28:23 – From morning until evening, Paul
was explaining the kingdom of God to them. He
was trying to convince them about Jesus from
Moses' Teachings & the Prophets.
• Ac 28:31 – He spread the message about
God’s kingdom & taught very boldly about the
Lord Jesus Christ.

Jan D. Hettinga, Follow Me
• If I want the benefit of salvation, it will cost
me my personal sovereignty, my
independent autonomy, my own agenda, my
“throne.” Why? Because that is exactly
what I must be saved from in the first place!

What is the cost of your
repentance?

What is the Kingdom?

What do these verses tell us
about the Kingdom?
Daniel 2:44-45; 7:14, 18, 22, 27

Development of the Kingdom in Daniel
• Da 2:44-45 – At the time of those kings, the
God of heaven will establish a kingdom that will
never be destroyed. No other people will be
permitted to rule it. It will smash all the other
kingdoms & put an end to them. But it will be
established forever. This is the stone that you
saw cut out from a mountain, but not by
humans. It smashed the iron, bronze, clay,
silver, & gold. The great God has told you what
will happen in the future, Your Majesty. The
dream is true, & you can trust that this is its
meaning."

• Da 7:14 – He was given power, honor, & a
kingdom. People from every province, nation, &
language were to serve him. His power is an
eternal power that will not be taken away. His
kingdom will never be destroyed.

• Da 7:18 – But the holy people of the Most High
will take possession of the kingdom & keep it
forever & ever."

• Da 7:22 – It did this until the Ancient One, who
has lived for endless years, came & judged in
favor of the holy people of the Most High. The
time came when the holy people took
possession of the kingdom.

• Da 7:27 – The kingdom, along with the power &
greatness of all the kingdoms under heaven,
will be given to the holy people of the Most
High. Their kingdom is eternal. All other powers
will serve & obey them."

• Parable of the Sower – Mt 13

• The disciples asked him, “Why do you use
stories as illustrations when you speak to
people?”
• Jesus answered, “Knowledge about the
mysteries of the kingdom of heaven has been
given to you. But it has not been given to the
crowd. Those who understand these mysteries
will be given more knowledge, & they will excel
in understanding them.

• “However, some people don’t understand these
mysteries. Even what they understand will be
taken away from them. This is why I speak to
them this way. They see, but they’re blind.
They hear, but they don’t listen. They don’t
even try to understand.

• “So they make Isaiah’s prophecy come true:
‘You will hear clearly but never understand.
You will see clearly but never comprehend.
These people have become close–minded &
hard of hearing. They have shut their eyes so
that their eyes never see. Their ears never
hear. Their minds never understand. And they
never return to me for healing!’

• The more you stay out of the
Kingdom of God, the less you
are able to understand what the
Kingdom of God is!

• “Blessed are your eyes because they see &
your ears because they hear. I can guarantee
this truth: Many prophets & many of God’s
people longed to see what you see but didn’t
see it, to hear what you hear but didn’t hear it.
• Because the 12 were Kingdom Thinkers, they were
able to understand what others could not – the
TRUTH!!

• “Listen to what the story about the farmer
means. Someone hears the word about the
kingdom but doesn’t understand it. The evil one
comes at once & snatches away what was
planted in him. This is what the seed planted
along the road illustrates.
• What kind of heart? •Closed & hardened
• What is the problem? •Self-absorbed

• “The seed planted on rocky ground is the
person who hears the word & accepts it at once
with joy. Since he doesn’t have any root, he
lasts only a little while. When suffering or
persecution comes along because of the word,
he immediately falls from faith.
• What kind of heart? •Receptive & Enthusiastic
• What is the problem? •When hardships come
they get out because
they will be better off

• “The seed planted among thornbushes is
another person who hears the word. But the
worries of life & the deceitful pleasures of
riches choke the word so that it can’t produce
anything.
• What is the problem? •Competition for attention
because they are so
busy

• “But the seed planted on good ground is the
person who hears & understands the word.
This type produces crops. They produce 100,
60, or 30 times as much as was planted.
• What is the problem? •Varying degrees of
cooperation with God
lead to varying degrees
of fruitbearing
