Read “And Finally?the Kingdom of God Is Like This?.” Note how the author encourages readers to find contemporary metaphors for the kingdom of God.

Choose two different metaphors, one from the article and one from your own experience, for the Messiah and for the kingdom of God. Elaborate on the characteristics of the Messianic kingdom of God as Jesus taught and modeled it. In particular, focus on the specific teachings about the kingdom in the assigned readings for this module. This paper should show your understanding of Jesus’ teaching of the kingdom and His role as Messiah.
You must use at least two scholarly sources in addition to New Testament History and the Holy Bible.
