19. Jesus saw himself as a proclaimer of the Kingdom of God.

Ankerberg: What does Jesus’ "Kingdom of God" message tell us about His own self-realization?

Evans: Well, He clearly sees Himself as the proclaimer of the Kingdom. And I think He understands Himself as that unique and special human being–or in Aramaic: Son of Man described in Daniel chapter 7. He is this "Son of Man" who has been authorized by God to proclaim the Kingdom and bring it about.

Ankerberg: All right, as a scholar, looking at those statements, would they have gotten your attention? Let’s say you’re not a Christian but you’re a scholar and you’re looking at Jesus making these statements about the Kingdom of God and His part in it. What do those statements tell you about who Jesus thought He was?

Evans: Well, if I were a secular historian and looking at what Jesus is saying, I’d say this guy clearly thinks that He’s some kind of emissary from Heaven. This guy thinks He is the person described in Daniel 7 who is given authority and kingdom and now on earth He’s bringing it about. The evidence would point in that direction.

Ankerberg: Did Jesus put this in any kind of messianic context?

Evans: I think it’s the only context it can be put in.

Ankerberg: Why?

Evans: If you’re not anointed by God to carry out this task, then you’re being very presumptuous.
