The sermon presents the kingdom of God as an eternal reality, eternally established by an eternal King, yet profoundly disrupted in human experience by the fall of Adam and Satan. Despite this disruption, God has been actively fulfilling an eternal purpose through history, culminating in the incarnation of Christ at the 'fullness of time.' To sustain order and preserve a measure of divine authority in a fallen world, God instituted three temporary 'kingdom placeholders': the family, civil government, and true religion. These are not ultimate realities but divinely appointed, delegated expressions of God's authority that sustain human society until Christ's return. Though these institutions can be corrupted—evident in history's violence, tyranny, and false religion—they remain essential, God-ordained means through which humanity experiences His rule. The ultimate fulfillment of God's kingdom will come when Christ returns, dissolving all temporary structures and establishing God as 'all in all,' rendering the placeholders obsolete as the eternal reality is fully realized.
