Yeshua defined the meaning of “Kingdom when he blessed his students (Matthew 5:10):
Blessed are those who pursue the causes of TZEDAQAH,
for they are the Kingdom of Elohim.
TOV and TZEDAQAH are two Hebrew words that cannot simply be translated by one English word. The definition is given in Isaiah 58:6-8:
6 Is this not the fast I will choose — to open bands of wickedness, to undo the thongs of the yoke, to let the oppressed ones go free, and every yoke you shall pull off? 7 Is it not to break your bread with the hungry, bring the wandering poor you to your house, covering a naked one, and not hiding from your flesh? 8 (Do these things) then your LIGHT shall break forth as the dawn, your healing shall quickly spring up, your acts of TZEDAQAH shall go before you and the glory of Yahweh shall gather you.
This is repeated in the Parable of the Great Day of Judgment (Matthew 25:34-37, 46).
“Come, you blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry and you gave me food; I was thirsty and you gave me drink; I was a stranger and you took me in; I was naked and you clothed me; I was sick and you visited me; I was in prison and you came to me.”
Each of the acts above was an act of TZEDAQAH. The acts stood between those being judged and the king judging them. Yahweh gathered them, and they entered into eternal life.
