How do we know that the kingdom of God will triumph?

The triumph of God's kingdom is assured through biblical prophecy and history, as seen in the book of Zechariah where God’s plans are revealed through prophets like Haggai and Zechariah himself. The return of the Jews to Jerusalem and their rebuilding of the temple, orchestrated by Cyrus as foretold by Isaiah, serves as a manifestation of God's sovereign control over history. This narrative emphasizes that despite opposition and human failings, God’s ultimate purpose prevails. The assurance comes from His faithfulness to His promises and the fulfillment seen in Christ, who established the true Kingdom of God through His life, death, and resurrection.
