The King of the Kingdom of Heaven

A Commentary on Matthew

By Thomas O. Figart

The Gospel of Matthew presents the Lord Jesus Christ as the long-prophesied King of God’s promised kingdom. THE KING OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN is a verse-by-verse commentary of Matthew’s Gospel, written from a dispensational, premillennial perspective that is essential to correctly understand God’s prophetic kingdom program. This thorough commentary traces the theme of Christ’s kingship from His royal virgin birth, through His authoritative teaching and sign miracles, to His sacrificial death, bodily resurrection, and commission to His disciples. The author holds the text of Matthew’s Gospel in highest regard as the inspired Word of God. He balances practical application with scholarly attention to the details of historical background, grammar, and word meaning.

Readers of this commentary will gain greater insight into the earthly life, ministry, and mission of the King and His coming kingdom.

Dr. Thomas O. Figart served for thirty-eight years on the faculty of Lancaster Bible College in various roles, including Distinguished Professor, Chair of the Biblical Division, Academic Dean, and Interim President. He currently resides in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where he continues to teach the Word of God. An undergraduate of Johns Hopkins University (B.S.), Figart also holds a Th.M. from Dallas Theological Seminary and a Th.D. from Grace Theological Seminary.
