Matthew 3:2 (KJV)
Commentary on Matthew 3:2
The message 'Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand' introduces the Gospel's central demand and promise. 'Repent' (Greek: metanoeō) means to change one's mind/direction, not mere regret. 'Kingdom of heaven' (Matthew's Jewish-sensitive substitute for 'kingdom of God') represents God's sovereign rule breaking into history. 'At hand' means imminent arrival, creating urgency.
