| 0:15.0 | do you do Every country protects its borders. There have been many battles waged throughout the years, attempting to extend boundaries or regain what has been lost. |
| 0:37.0 | Today on Truth for Life, we'll find out why the Kingdom of God is not like any of these earthly kingdoms, |
| 0:43.2 | Alistairbegg is teaching today from the seventh verse in Isaiah chapter 9. It is important that we understand what this kingdom isn't and what this kingdom is. |
| 0:59.0 | First of all, we need to notice that this kingdom is neither temporal nor local. In other words it is an |
| 1:05.6 | unbounded kingdom both geographically and temporarily. Now you see how important this |
| 1:12.1 | is for as as Christian believers. I know sometimes you think |
| 1:16.8 | that there's a measure of my sort of British imperialism that bleeds into my preaching, |

| 2:06.8 | A kingdom that is defined by righteousness, we are committed to righteousness. |
| 2:12.1 | But there is no place on the face of the earth that is peculiarly selected by God |
| 2:18.6 | to be the sphere of his influence. The believers have come to Mount Zion already, Hebrew |
| 2:26.6 | tells us, to the reality of things as they are now, not to what they're going to be in some localized physical form later |
| 2:34.8 | on. This is not a throne that is a literal throne in a literal Jerusalem for a |
| 2:41.0 | literal period of time. How can it possibly be? This kingdom begins with the birth of the child. |
