The King and His Kingdom (3 of 3)
Series: Family Feud
Jim Perdue
Obadiah 19-21
Intro/Attention
Tonight, we conclude our series entitled Family Feud as we have walked through the book of Obadiah together. This small OT prophecy records the struggle between two nations that began as a struggle between two brothers: Israel (Jacob) and Edom (Esau).

There would, however, be two problems if all of the world was a magic kingdom. First of all, most of the world could not afford to get in (have you seen the prices at Disney World lately?)

Unlike the Magic Kingdom, it is not a kingdom you can see, but rather a kingdom you cannot see. Unlike the Magic Kingdom, which will be gone in time, this kingdom lasts for all eternity.
This kingdom is not the ''Magic Kingdom,'' it is the Master's Kingdom. It is a kingdom where Christ is King, and Jesus is Lord; a kingdom where there is no war, just peace; no sadness, just joy; no sickness, just health; no death, just life; no hatred, just love; no fear, just faith.
It is a kingdom where one day the lion will lie down with the lamb; where the child will play with a snake; where the wolf will feed with the sheep, not on the sheep. It is called ...
