In Matthew 10:7 we learn that Jesus sent his twelve disciples out saying "As YOU go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of the heavens has drawn near." So what is Micheal teaching us? He is saying that the Kingdom of God is being formed and will rule for time indefinate from the heavens.
Matthew 10:7
NWT of the JW - "As YOU go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of the heavens has drawn near.’"
SearchGodsWord.Org - "And as ye go (5740), preach (5720), saying * (5723), The kingdom of heaven is at hand (5758)."
Who is going to rule this Kingdom of God? This is found in Luke 1:31-33. This is the for told Messiah Jesus Christ!
Luke 1:31-33
NWT of the JW - "31 and, look! you will conceive in your womb and give birth to a son, and you are to call his name Jesus. 32 This one will be great and will be called Son of the Most High; and Jehovah God will give him the throne of David his father, 33 and he will rule as king over the house of Jacob forever, and there will be no end of his kingdom.”
SearchGodsWord.Org - "31 And, behold (5628), thou shalt conceive (5695) in thy womb, and bring forth (5695) a son, and shalt call (5692) his name JESUS. 32 He shall be (5704) great, and shall be called (5701) the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give (5692) unto him the throne of his father David: 33 And he shall reign (5692) over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be (5704) no end."
So how is important is the Kingdom of God? Micheal as illustrated a few times in Matthew 13:44-46. In Matthew 6:25-34 Micheal teaches us to have balance on keeping the kingdom of the heavens first because Jehovah God knows the things we need!
Matthew 13:44-46
NWT of the JW - "44 “The kingdom of the heavens is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found and hid; and for the joy he has he goes and sells what things he has and buys that field.
45 “Again the kingdom of the heavens is like a traveling merchant seeking fine pearls. 46 Upon finding one pearl of high value, away he went and promptly sold all the things he had and bought it."
SearchGodsWord.Org - "44 Again, the kingdom of heaven is (5748) like unto treasure hid (5772) in a field; the which when a man hath found (5631), he hideth (5656), and for joy thereof goeth (5719) and selleth (5719) all that he hath (5719), and buyeth (5719) that field. 45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is (5748) like unto a merchant man, seeking (5723) goodly pearls: 46 Who, when he had found (5631) one pearl of great price, went (5631) and sold (5758) all that he had (5707), and bought (5656) it."
Matthew 6:25-34
NWT of the JW - "25 “On this account I say to YOU: Stop being anxious about YOUR souls as to what YOU will eat or what YOU will drink, or about YOUR bodies as to what YOU will wear. Does not the soul mean more than food and the body than clothing? 26 Observe intently the birds of heaven, because they do not sow seed or reap or gather into storehouses; still YOUR heavenly Father feeds them. Are YOU not worth more than they are? 27 Who of YOU by being anxious can add one cubit to his life span? 28 Also, on the matter of clothing, why are YOU anxious? Take a lesson from the lilies of the field, how they are growing; they do not toil, nor do they spin; 29 but I say to YOU that not even Sol´o·mon in all his glory was arrayed as one of these. 30 If, now, God thus clothes the vegetation of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much rather clothe YOU, YOU with little faith? 31 So never be anxious and say, ‘What are we to eat?’ or, ‘What are we to drink?’ or, ‘What are we to put on?’ 32 For all these are the things the nations are eagerly pursuing. For YOUR heavenly Father knows YOU need all these things.
33 “Keep on, then, seeking first the kingdom and his righteousness, and all these [other] things will be added to YOU. 34 So, never be anxious about the next day, for the next day will have its own anxieties. Sufficient for each day is its own badness."

Is (5748) not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? 26 Behold * (5657) the fowls of the air: for they sow (5719) not, neither do they reap (5719), nor gather (5719) into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth (5719) them. Are ye not much better than (5719) they? 27 Which of you by taking thought (5723) can (5736) add (5629) one cubit unto his stature? 28 And why take ye thought (5720) for raiment? Consider (5628) the lilies of the field, how they grow (5719); they toil (5719) not, neither do they spin (5719): 29 And yet I say (5719) unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed (5639) like one of these. 30 Wherefore, if God so clothe (5719) the grass of the field, which to day is (5752), and to morrow is cast (5746) into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? 31 Therefore take no thought (5661), saying (5723), What shall we eat (5632)? or, What shall we drink (5632)? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed (5643)? 32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek (5719):) for your heavenly Father knoweth (5758) that ye have need (5719) of all these things. 33 But seek ye (5720) first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added (5701) unto you. 34 Take therefore no thought (5661) for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought (5692) for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
Even after Micheals death we learn that he taught for 40 days things about the Kingdom of God.
Acts 1:3
NWT of the JW - "To these also by many positive proofs he showed himself alive after he had suffered, being seen by them throughout forty days and telling the things about the kingdom of God."

In Revelation 21:1-4 we learn what Micheal will do!
Revelation 21:1-4
NWT of the JW - "21 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the former heaven and the former earth had passed away, and the sea is no more. 2 I saw also the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God and prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his peoples. And God himself will be with them. 4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”"
SearchGodsWord.Org -"1 And I saw (5627) a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away (5627); and there was (5748) no more sea. 2 And I John saw (5627) the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down (5723) from God out of heaven, prepared (5772) as a bride adorned (5772) for her husband. 3 And I heard (5656) a great voice out of heaven saying (5723), Behold (5628), the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell (5692) with them, and they shall be (5704) his people, and God himself shall be (5704) with them, and be their God. 4 And God shall wipe away (5692) all tears from their eyes; and there shall be (5704) no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be (5704) any more pain: for the former things are passed away (5627)."
