Yet he spoke of himself frequently as one who was announcing a new kind of reign, the kingdom of God. Jesus sometimes spoke of this kingdom as something that was coming in the future and sometimes he spoke as if it was already present. In his parables and pronouncements, Jesus was stating that God, not Caesar, was king of Israel. Unlike the oppressive, death-dealing earthly kings, God’s kingdom was one of freedom and hope. Much of Jesus teaching was a description of what the kingdom of God is like.
