KINGDOM SPLAT--Ridderbos V

Coming of the Kingdom
by Herman N. Ridderbos
(librarything entry; my scan results)

The announcement comes:
Kingdom!
Good News to the margins;
judgment to the self-appointed center.

This new thing,
fulfilling the former things,
coming certainly,
coming surprisingly,
coming in shadows:
here now,
not yet--
enthronement awaits;
anointing is now.

This, the desire of God's heart,
his divine decree,
rests on his true people.
