RD 101 - Israel's Dry Baptisms

By Jack Eberle

Paul was acquainted with the subject of baptism since he had been a teacher of the Jews for much of his life.

T. as far as the kingdom is concerned in Matthew, is the kingdom of heaven. And that kingdom of heaven is the kingdom from heaven that’s here on the earth. As far as the King being present, all I can find is that He will be present in Person, that is in flesh so He can be seen, about the last 75 days, that’s after His return. Now this kingdom of heaven we find is announced and rules given by John the Baptist. Now he told people what to do and what not to do – a great number of things. It would be nice to codify them, and put them down, because the Lord came along and He taught things concerning the kingdom of heaven, too.
