Bible Question: there is several verses that talk about the kingdom of heaven, what is it and where is it ? Mathew 3-2 Mathew 16-19 John 18-36 there is more .there is also talk of keys to the kingdom. |
Bible Answer: This is a very big topic. To deal with it properly you have to review all the OT prophets concerning the kingdom of God and not just the New Testament verses. There is such a thing as the Kingdom of God that will reign on earth for one thousand years, this kingdom must be fulfilled. Yet there is a spiritual unseen reality of the kingdom of God and it is here now. It is great that this eternal spiritual kingdom is preached often but sometimes I hear it preached as if there is no such thing as a physical kingdom to come. But it will come. As sure as Christ rose from the dead, he will come again and destroy all the kingdoms of this world and be established as the only kingdom for 1000 years. Then after the new heavens and new earth are made, His kingdom will endure forever. We are citizens of that kingdom now, and even are called to be kings and priests on the earth now, in limited ways. What I mean by limited is that even though we are kings now, we are still destined to reign as kings on the earth in such a way that we have not yet entered into, because the time has not yet come. However we will rule over all nations with Him according to the prophesies and promises. Revelation 2:26-27 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father. |
