The Christian season of Advent is a time of watching and welcoming that focuses on the coming of Jesus, God's Anointed King, into the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e At Christmas, we celebrate the \u003ci\u003efirst\u003c\/i\u003e coming of King Jesus, when He established the kingdom of God.

In the meantime, we live between the comings as the kingdom of God increases and multiplies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In \u003ci\u003eLet Earth Receive Her King\u003c\/i\u003e, we will explore some of the ancient promises God made to Abraham, David and the Old Testament prophets. We will also consider how the hope of Israel and the salvation of the world began to be realized two thousand years ago as we look at the Christmas story in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, and taste of the rich meaning of the Incarnation in the Gospel of John and the letters of Paul.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Let us together prepare our hearts and increase our expectation about what God has done at Christmas, is doing now in this present time and will do next in the world through His kingdom - and His King, Jesus the Messiah.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJeff Doles is a Christian writer, blogger and Bible teacher.
