Thank you, Fred, for sharing this video. I have never understood why Mathew used "The kingdom of Heaven" … now it makes sense. Understanding why the book was written, the audience and how it was written was really profound. The book is about "How to live in the kingdom now?" The king has already come, and now focus on living. I was astonished to understand when Jesus said, "Woe".. it actually happened. I know he is king and doesn't randomly talk, but I felt the weight of the "woes".. and how our brother David connected the fulfilment of the woes.

The word ekklesia, only found in Mathew's book, is something interesting. The five blocks— lifestyle, mission, growth, community, future and the king's return—exciting and instructive teaching.

I love how he put the whole book's objective, "How to get ready for the king coming back to inaugurate the full age to come, here and now."

Thank you, Fred; this teaching amplifies our concept and enriches our understanding, and it just sacks you into the mind of the writer, and you never see the book the same!
