His kingdom; Jesus’ kingdom of heaven
In this generation, the early stages of the 21st century, we are able to witness the transition of dynasty of power. In one of our mother lands of America, England (not to ignore the two other recessive cultures of America’s origin; thus, Africa & Native Indians). We witness the transitions of the queendom of Queen Elizabeth to the kingdom of King Charlse. Here we able to witness the transfer of power, government realms, political ethics, and administration leadership. It makes sense to us to know the difference of rulership base on a change of king or queen as we witness it within physical and pollical power within our Earthly human system. Why does it seem so confusing to understand the same moral within the spiritual realms?
The birth, death, resurrection, and testimony of Jesus Christ reveals the transition of God’s Kingdom here on Earth. In the scriptures within the Book of Mark it reads:
“The time has come, ‘he said. ‘The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news.” – Mark 1:15.
Now this message is also written in the Book of Mathew: “and saying, ‘Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.” – Mathew 3:2
Then again in the Book of Mathew: “From that time on Jesus began to preach, ‘Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.” – Mathew 4:17
If we look carefully, we will notice two terminologies given, “the Kingdom of God”, and “the Kingdom of Heaven”. However, within either interpretation we witness the same central concept. God’s Heavenly realms is being transfer and incorporated in Earth physical realms of moral authority. God’s administration is dominating and transitioning to human’s regime. Now I choose to use these specific scriptures to illustrate this concept purposely for one scripture reads God’s Kingdom and the other reads Heaven’s Kingdom. Nevertheless, I feel it is a waste of time and beneath the central point to emphasize the technical meaning within translations. Regardless on how you choose to read the words it is clear that upon Jesus’ arrival, and upon His time of overcoming Satan temptations and/or authority, all forms of leadership upon central administration here on Earth was given to His Kingdom (the Kingdom of Heaven of God’s Kingdom). As we study out scriptures and read deeper into the meaning, we realize that Jesus’ Kingdom is eternal, spiritual, overcoming physical characteristics and transitioning through time, life & death, plus, dominating good over evil. We see through these scriptures that Jesus Kingdom (much as we witness transitions of kingdoms within human’s culture here on Earth) changes the administration of Earth from the time of B.C. to A.D.; thus, God’s covenant with humans changed.
This illustration of change of authority is keen, however, this concept which I feel is important within this article is the nature of this information. God’s Kingdom is moving. Much as you would believe that a government administration would continue to grow based on a transition of kings so does Heaven’s Kingdom here on Earth continues to grow, move, evolve and expand in identity here on Earth. People often think the Kingdom of Heaven as a destination or a resting place which transpires spiritually after they pass through this physical realm here on Earth; thus, die. Often it is not a mentality to understand God’s Kingdom as a present administration here on Earth which is growing in creed, moral & ethic power to enrichen our lives, souls, and spirit here on Earth. Often people witness the Kingdom of Heaven as some type of utopia in the future, not a presence moving force within their present live now. However, I challenge your thoughts on this matter, consider Jesus’ Kingdom within the same manner as you would witness a dynasty or administration of a kingdom transitioning here within your present generation. I’m sure this mentality will open doors towards your faith to power within the spiritual realms beyond what you may not presently imagine.
