Jordan River
The Jordan is the river that flows south from the foothills of Mount Hermon, through the Sea of Galilee, and on to the Dead Sea. Israel crossed it into the promised land under Joshua, and John the Baptist baptized in it, including the baptism of Jesus.
Focus this layer - Theme
Repentance
Repentance is turning from sin back to God, a change of mind that shows itself in a changed life. The prophets called Israel to it, John the Baptist demanded fruit in keeping with it, and Jesus opened His ministry with the call to repent and believe the good news.

The Kingdom of God
The Kingdom of God is God's active reign, promised through Israel's prophets and announced by Jesus as having come near in Himself. Jesus taught its character in parables, displayed it in healings, and said it would grow until His return.
