The purpose of this article is to re-examine some aspects of the kingdom of God, especially in the light of certain evidence about the Son of Man, and the relation of the kingdom to Jesus' person and mission. It focuses on two logia in the Beelzebul controversy as presented in Matthew 12:25-32 and its parallels in Mark 3:23-30 and Luke 11:17-30 and Luke 12:10,3.

This article is an exposition of Luke 11:24-26, which addresses the matter of a so-called temporary conversion.

Using Luke 11:15 as point of reference, this article discusses the great strength of Satan, which is surpassed only by the power of Christ.
