The “Kingdom of God” or “Kingdom of Heaven” shows up one hundred and nineteen times in the New Testament (Arndt, 8). The Christian Church refers to the kingdom as the Kingdom of God.

Kingdom of God (basileia tou theou) is used only six times––one of them being in verse 3d, and speaking about the Kingdom of God . In four of the other five instances, the disciples are proclaiming the Kingdom of God (8:12; 19:8; 28:23, 31).

Basileia (rule, reign, or realm) tou theou signifies the authoritative power and empowerment of God with us in this sentence. ACTS 1:

wish for treating the poor justly. Jesus urges the man to follow the commandments and to sell all of his possessions to the poor if he wants to enter the kingdom of God (Matthew 19:21 NIV).

The kingdoms show how something may seem so alike, but be drastically different in many areas. People can learn from these two kingdoms and know what not to do.

The Kingdoms of God and Heaven In the book of Genesis, we read of how God created the world. He spoke everything into existence and it was so. He created the heavens and the earth, and He created man. When Adam and Eve were breathed into being, God also created the Garden of Eden, Paradise. God and Adam co-existed, they walked together in Eden and had conversations about the animals and trees and how life would be. Thus, the Kingdom of God. The contrast to all of this is that God also created the

Testament that he say’s help reveal the meaning of the kingdom of God. The themes presented are interrelated and not disconnected or segmented from each other. Rather, each theme is a partial expression of the whole, in other words, the kingdom of God is this, but it is also that.

I. Kingdom of God I believe that the kingdom of God is both now and a promise for the future. Presently, we see glimpses of the kingdom when communities live out God’s perfect love for us in their relationships with one another. Recently I was driving from worship run through to a community event, complaining to myself about how I didn’t want to get out of the car because of the cold rain.

The cryptic words found within Luke 17:20-21, in which Jesus addresses the Pharisees interrogation on when the kingdom of God would arrive, declare that "20 the kingdom of God cometh not with observation: 21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you."
