What is the Kingdom or what is a Kingdom?
The Bible has many understandings for what a Kingdom is but here are the results :
• Kingdom means Dominion :
Jeremiah 34:1
[1]The word which came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the earth of his dominion, and all the people, fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities thereof, saying,
Daniel 7:27
[27]And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.
Psalms 145:13
[13]Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations.
• Kingdom means Nation :
1 Chronicles 16:20
[20]And when they went from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people;
2 Chronicles 20:29
[29]And the fear of God was on all the kingdoms of those countries, when they had heard that the LORD fought against the enemies of Israel.
Isaiah 60:12
[12]For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish; yea, those nations shall be utterly wasted.
• Kingdom means Government :
Psalms 22:28
[28]For the kingdom is the LORD'S: and he is the governor among the nations.
Isaiah 9:7
[7]Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
all along the lines of being almost the same things right?
What is Heaven?
Matthew 5:34
[34]But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne:
Matthew 23:22
[22]And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.
Here it says that Heaven is referred to as “The Most High's Throne”.
Heaven can also be referred to as “Kingship / Government”.
Isaiah 14:12-13
[12]How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
[13]For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
Lamentations 2:1
[1]How hath the Lord covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in his anger, and cast down from heaven unto the earth the beauty of Israel, and remembered not his footstool in the day of his anger!
Israel was never in heaven right? So what is he talking about?
That's right, Kingship.
The first Heaven / Kingdom Origin :
• The creation of the firmament in which The Most High called Heaven.
Genesis 1:6-8
[6]And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
[7]And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
[8]And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
It says here that TMH created heaven and figuratively speaking having kingship is heaven on earth.
Who was the ruler of that kingdom/heaven?
• The first ruler of the Kingdom in Eden was (Man) which was Adam
Genesis 1:26
[26]And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
So Adam had rule over all things of the earth.
Hierarchy sequence :
• The Most High and His Son
John 17:24
[24]Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.
• Heaven - The Most High's Throne (Matthew 5:34)
• Ruler of the Kingdom/ Heaven of earth - Adam (Ezekiel 1:9)
Ezekiel 31:9
[9]I have made him fair by the multitude of his branches: so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied him.
Which is speaking of Adam in the garden.
Used to draw reference:
Genesis 49:22
[22]Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall:
Isaiah 9:14
[14]Therefore the LORD will cut off from Israel head and tail, branch and rush, in one day.
• Job description of the rulers of the Kingdom of earth - (To have rule over all the earth)
• The Most High blesses his creation:
Genesis 1:28
[28]And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
Calculations
So since The Most High's son (The Messiah) is Hebrew and dating all the way back to Abraham who was also a Hebrew, of what descent was Adam and Eve? Seeing that The Most High created them in his own image and His Son is also in his image?
Who inherits the Kingdom?
Matthew 5:3
[3]Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.Precept :
Luke 6:20
[20]And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.
