This study will take a close look at the book of Matthew with a strong emphasis on Jesus Christ as Israel’s King and His earthly ministry to His people. Students will examine how the Lord taught and prepared His disciples concerning the coming kingdom, Israel’s prophetic program, the signs of His return, and the events surrounding the establishment of His kingdom. Special attention will be given to Christ’s teaching as He educated His disciples about the kingdom and prepared them for the prophetic events to come. 6 CREDITS
