Your thoughts on what the Kingdom of the Heavens is.?

Question

Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done on Earth as it is in the Heavens
Do we see the Kingdom of the Heavens as being in Heaven or on the earth.
If so.. do we go to heaven or does God's real interest dwell on earth ... does he want to take us to heaven or does he want his Kingdom to be on the earth for eternity on the New Earth.
Does this whole matter bring into question the thought of " going to heaven"

Mark Ch 4 speaks of the hearts of men being the fertile earth for the seed of the Kingdom to be planted in. That Christ may make Home in our hearts through faith. Being pure in heart and having our heart as this earth for the seed of the Kingdom to grow and develop and spread to be the realm for Christ's ruling.
How does the Millenium Kingdom tie into this?
Please do not confuse the Kingdom of God from eternity past to eternity future with the Kingdom of the Heavens.. its two different things.
The Kingdom of the heavens is developed during the age of Grace and is Manifested during the age of the Kingdom in the Next Dispenstation.

WHERE is the Kingdom of the Heavens. " OF" being the real word to look at...

Answer 1

Kingdom: The Kingdom of God is the expression of Jehovah’s universal sovereignty toward his creatures, or the means used by him to express that sovereignty. This term is used particularly to designate the manifestation of God’s sovereignty through the royal government headed by his Son, Jesus Christ. “Kingdom” may refer to the rulership of the one anointed as King or to the earthly realm ruled by that heavenly government.

Is God’s Kingdom a real government? Or is it, instead, a condition in the hearts of men? Luke 17:21(Notice that, as shown by verse 20, Jesus was speaking to the Pharisees, whom he also denounced as hypocrites, so he could not have meant that the Kingdom was in their hearts. But the Kingdom as represented by Christ was in their midst.

Answer 2

Ok the nice answer- This is a prayer asking for God to set up his earthly kingdom which comes during his reign on Earth. Heaven and Earth are to be eventually destroyed and a new heaven created for those who make it. Regardless of where heaven is- to go the spirit must first leave the body and then "go" to heaven.

The real answer- None of it is true. There is no heaven and no hell.

Answer 3

the earth we live on now will "pass away".
we will have a new heaven & a new earth:

"And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. " (rev. 21:1)

the Earth that we live on now is a proving ground... it is decided while we live on this Earth where we will spend eternity.

the New Earth (city) is described in rev. 21:20. as you can see, it will be greatly different than ours today ... no sun, no moon, but the glory of God lighting it.

saying, "And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.

:25 says there will be no night there either.

& nothing that defileth, or he that commits an abomination, or anyone that lies will not enter in.

only those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life will be allowed into heaven.
in other words, only those who have been born-again according to scripture & who have not fallen will be allowed in.

Answer 4

The Kingdom of Heaven is...where it's name states...in Heaven...

Answer 5

his real interest has to dwell here on earth--its only logical--death is just the end of life--why is death more valuable to religious people?--does it make sense that he created earth to only have us worry about where we go when we die?

Answer 6

I would say what ever you believe it to be while you are living on earth is what it will be when you get to heaven

Answer 7

As a summary, the kingdom (government) of heaven is this same earth and this same universe. It will only be ruled by the LORD JESUS CHRIST and HIS kings (Prophets and Saints over galaxies) and no longer ruled by satan; and its ground level and all the planets and moons in the whole universe will be transformed into a garden of eden and the whole universe will be colored as emerald green as the rainbow therein is emerald green in color. It wil be the habitations of angel-like men filling up to the brim of the universe and exploding in populations by the power of THE HOLY SPIRIT. No part of it will be dark as the whole universe will be glorious called terrestrial glory. This kingdom of Heaven will last for 15 billion years and then at its old age it will be replaced by the New Earth and the New Heaven which will come down from celestial heaven to our own space and will melt the old universe to nothing. Please read on thus, anyone who can see this, has the eyes to see and has the ears to hear; and has the true leap of faith and is toward this divine path of the chosen ones among natural men; and then being born in the spirit in the soon coming kingdom of heaven becoming angel-like men; then in the later part to come is the kingdom of GOD after 15 billion years more wherein the angel-like men will be born of GOD and will become gods or like-GOD. And the gods will be the overseers as a LORD and GOD over a universe inhabited by newly created men or universes that will be infinitely created by none other but THE LORD GOD-THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. THE LORD GOD-THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, HE alone has the power and glory to create countless universes in an unending world called omega. Moreover, THE LORD GOD WHO has the infinite might and power, honor and glory and THE ONE who leads us, HIS SHEEP, to green pasture which will be the garden of eden in the soon coming KIngdom of heaven in the year 3500. Men thereat will be born in the spirit to become angel-like ; and later approx 15 billion years in the Kingdom of GOD the angel-like men will be born of GOD and will become gods or like-GOD. But today, the truth is only the Prophets and Saints and their disciples called the chosen ones among natural men are the only ones given the knowledge of this mystery of the Kingdom of heaven and Kingdom of GOD; and so the 2nd coming of THE LORD JESUS CHRIST in the year 3500. It is so as the natural men whose spirits were created from the dust of the earth will not understand it yet and not today but in the soon coming Kingdom of Heaven. On one hand, the spirits of the Prophets and Saints called the chosen of GOD, were created from the precious stones from THE CITY OF GOD, THE HOLY CITY JERUSALEM and they are already gods; while the spirits of the chosen ones among natural men were created from gold dust and silver dust-they are the 1stfruits of men offered to GOD; and that the spirits of satan was created from the mud of the earth and the demons from the clay of the earth. Thus, I believe in the next life and even the eternal life that will never end. Paradise is where THE LORD JESUS CHRIST ASCENDED IN A PLACE CALLED CELESTIAL HEAVEN. In the center is THE CITY OF GOD, THE HOLY CITY JERUSALEM (Rev 21:10-21) and surrounded by the countless puregold planets and on their grounds are the garden of paradise. This celestial heaven is in an infinite space without end but filled up to the brim of puregold planets in a way it ends is beyond imaginations. The City of GOD made of precious stones ( on one hand, imagine the City of New York) and on top of MT ZION is the ivory palace of THE LORD JESUS CHRIST who is THE LORD AND GOD OVER THIS UNIVERSE AND ITS INFINITE SIZE CALLED OMEGA-THE UNENDING WORLD. And all of these were already written in the BOOK OF THE ALFA AND THE OMEGA-the unending world before time began where that freedom is infinite. These are revealed to the Prophets who are given by THE LORD GOD the revelations of the future which is the infinite directions of all our lives. However, the present Prophets like the Prophets of old, the majority peoples do not believe them.But our lives are not our choice and it is called destiny to an unending future in the Kingdom of GOD of infinite freedom. It is so because mankind are destined to become gods or like-GOD in the omega-the unending world of paradise prepared by THE LORD GOD for us. But the devil and his demons who will incarnate as human beings like fake-Christ, false Prophet or the demons as druglords, warlords, gambling lords, wealth lords, etc are destined for perdition. In Revelations 21:6 THE LORD GOD said It is done! I AM THE ALFA AND THE OMEGA. This means that the STORYBOOK OF OUR BEGINNING UP TO THE UNENDING WORLD OF OMEGA-from eternity to eternity have been written even our eternal freedom. This is in the power of THE LORD GOD which we understand only through our faith in GOD. Thus, by this written will of THE LORD GOD everthing is bounded by the WILL OF GOD but in its eternal dimension without limitations. For your sake, I wll show you the essence of the messages of the OLD TESTAMENT and present Prophets who were present when the HOUSE OF THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY WAS BEING BUILT IN CELESTIAL HEAVEN (Zech 8:9). The Prophets messages have three corners of space-real spaces. The first space of history that they talk and prophesied about is our universe. Everyone understand the message of the prophets on this space as this is based on our simple logic of one plus one equals two. The second space of history is the future earth that will start in the year 3500 under THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN where their planets grounds are called the garden of eden. This future earth, based from the Alfa and the Omega exists, and the logic here is not a simple logic, as this world is a semi-perfect world where its inhabitants are men born in the spirit called angel-like. Thus, as we do not understand this world yet, the logic here is faith in GOD whose all power and might belong to THE LORD JESUS CHRIST who is the GOOD SHEPHERD who leads you into green pasture-the garden of eden. The 3rd space history is the coming KINGDOM OF GOD after 15 billion years of the Kingdom of Heaven of the old earth and the old heaven; in here in the new earth and the new heaven, the angel-like men will be born of GOD and will become gods or LIKE-GOD. This space or kingdom where the garden of paradise are located is perfect in contrast to the earth's space which is imperfect whose garden are of disasters. The Kingdom of GOD in a celestial heaven is a higher dimension such that the LORD JESUS CHRIST said I AM from above and you are from below -referring to our physical universe. When the Prophets talk about this celestial heaven, our current simple logic can not understand the Prophet's message as the logic here is faith in GOD. And the garden of paradise is further describe as glorious, with the living water that flows and the trees are the trees of life and the grounds are made of puregold planets. The City of GOD, THE HOLY CITY JERUSALEM at the center of all the countless puregold planets is described in Rev 21:10-21.
