    Key verse: 16:16-18

    Purpose Written to show proof that Jesus is the promised King +65 O.T. references

    Recipients Jews, but also to Gentiles. Probably to the church at Antioch of Syria

    Matthew is the only gospel to specifically mention the church 16:18; 18:17

    Teaching about the kingdom of God (heaven) used over 50 times

    Coming in a gradual way—only a few at first; Jesus rules over all the earth in end
    Not immediate and manifest, but gradual and in many ways invisible
    Initiated by Jesus
    Will face many perils
    Will include all nations
    Will be both visible and invisible

    Olivet discourse: Ch. 24-25 most prophetic in N.T. except for Revelation
    Interpretation results in divergent understanding of end times prophecies
