The Gospel of Matthew presents the Lord Jesus Christ as the long-prophesied King of God's promised kingdom. THE KING OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN is a verse-by-verse commentary of Matthew's Gospel, written from a dispensational, premillennial perspective essential to understanding God's prophetic kingdom program correctly. This thorough commentary traces the theme of Christ's kingship from His royal virgin birth, through His authoritative teaching and sign miracles, to His sacrificial death, bodily resurrection, and commission to His disciples.
The author holds Matthew's Gospel in the highest regard as the inspired Word of God. He balances practical application with scholarly attention to historical background details, grammar, and word meaning. Readers of this commentary will gain greater insight into the king's earthly life, ministry, and mission and into His coming kingdom.
