The Promise of God's Kingdom

God takes a new people and rescues, he calls them into being. He confronts everything that's screwed up about humanity and our human kingdoms. And they need invites those people to live under his reign. But how does Israel do living obediently under God's reign with God as their king? Well, that's where the biblical story gets even more complicated, right? It's because they do a horrible job because they're just screwed up as the rest of humanity. So they run the nation into the ground because they themselves don't submit to the reign of the very God who try to rescue them in the first place.
