It is God's government with Jesus as King.
Isa 9:6For a (K)child will be born to us, a (L)son will be given to us;
And the (M)government will rest (N)on His shoulders;
And His name will be called (O)Wonderful Counselor, (P)Mighty God,
Eternal (Q)Father, Prince of (R)Peace.
7There will be (S)no end to the increase of His government or of peace,
On the (T)throne of David and over his kingdom,
To establish it and to uphold it with (U)justice and righteousness
From then on and forevermore
(V)The zeal of the LORD of hosts will accomplish this.

The Kingdom of God or Reign of God is a key concept in Christianity based on a phrase attributed to Jesus of Nazareth in the Gospels. The phrase occurs in the New Testament more than 100 times and refers to the reign or sovereignty of God over all things. This was in contrast to the reign of earthly powers, especially the Jewish Temple State and the Roman Empire, which occupied Nazareth and Capernaum, where Jesus lived, and, most notably, Jerusalem. (See also Iudaea Province.) In the synoptic Gospels, Mark and Luke use the term 'basileia tou theou', commonly translated in English as Kingdom of God, while Matthew prefers the term 'basileia tōn ouranōn' which has been translated as Kingdom of Heaven. Many biblical scholars believe the Matthean text, while still based upon Mark and the Q document, used 'heaven' as a euphemism to avoid direct use of the name of God in line with the culture of many Jews including Jewish Christians

According to the old testament, the place you go when you die where God is resident as the king.
According to the new testament a kingdom in which you will reside when you die which is all around you.
According to the gospels this is the kingdom of God you must work to restore its glory and make it a better place.
Makes you think if this is heaven . . . what's hell like?

A fictitious paradise offered as a reward for the gullible. A place of safety and escape found solely within the mind.

A ficticious realm.
The bible has very few jokes and even less erotica (except all the old testament "begatting"). Read "Viz" instead.
Shop around for a better religion too. e.g. "Marks and Spencer".
