Throughout scripture two kingdoms: physical & spiritual are revealed.
Cain physical, Abel spiritual
Ishmael physical, Isaac spiritual (See Gal 4:22-31)
Esau physical, Jacob spiritual
Israel physical, Body of Christ/Church spiritual
Adam physical, Christ Spiritual (1 Cor 15:45)
1 Cor 15:45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam (Jesus Christ) was made a quickening spirit
Jesus preached the Gospel of the kingdom, yet spoke about both. I found the reference to "Kingdom of Heaven" 31 times in Matt. I found reference to "Kingdom of God" 45 time in the 4 gospels. I've posted a few below.
The Kingdom of God is SPIRITUAL! Not physical:
Lk 17:21 (B) Jesus said; Behold, "the kingdom of God is within you"
(NOTE: This is a spirit promise that began in Acts 2:4. At Pentecost believers are INDWELT via the outpouring of the Holy Spirit "the kingdom of God is WITHIN YOU")
Jn 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
(NOTE: Born again = New spiritual birth)
Jn 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
(NOTE: Born of water (amniotic sac) = fleshly birth (vs 6 makes this clear) 1st flesh/physical, then born of spirit thru Faith. The need to be born of flesh 1st rules out fallen angels)
Rom 14:17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
(NOTE: The Holy Spirit is what? SPIRITUAL!)
1Cor 4:20 For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.
(NOTE: The Kingdom of God is NOT physical! It is in resurrection POWER)
Lk 17:21 (B) Jesus said; Behold, "the kingdom of God is within you"
(NOTE: The Kingdom of God": is SPIRITUAL: The Church/Body of Christ = Christ's spitit within you)
The Kingdom of Heaven is PHYSICAL! It is the fulfillment of Gods land pomise' to Israel (Num 34:1-15, Deut 1:8, Ex 2:24, Ex 6:4, 8, Ps 105:8-11)
God gives the exact boundaries of the promised land in Num 34:1-15 (also: Deut 1:8, Ex 2:24, Ex 6:4, 8 & Ps 105:8-11)
The Gospel of the Kingdom message begins with John the Baptist Matt 3:2-6 & Mk 1:4-5
After John's arrest, Jesus himself takes up the kingdom message. Matt 4:12-17
Matt 4:23 Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, "preaching the gospel of the kingdom"
Matt 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
(NOTE: This kingdom doctrine is 100% Jewish. We don't preach this, we preach Christ's death, burial & resurrection. It's the 144k that, after the Church has been raptured. All God's focus will then return to the Nation of Israel doctrine.)
We His Bride return with him:
Zec 14:5 On that day His feet will stand on Mt Olive. The Mt will split in 2 from east to west. Then the Lord your God will come, & """all the saints with Him."""
Jude 14,15 Jesus Returns with Ten Thousand of His Saints
Behold, """the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints""", To execute judgment upon all,
1 Thes 3:13 To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, """at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints""".
Jesus will not return until the Nation of Israel proclaims: "Baruch Ha Ba B'Shem Adonai" (Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord Matt 23:39).
The 1st man Adam was given Eve, The 2nd Adam/Christ is give us to rule & reign with him.
So, during this 1000 yr time of restoration. We will be in our glorified bodies.
Remember, for 40 days after Christs resurrection. In his glorified body he ate, drank & fellowshipped with his disciples, before his ascension.
The promised physical Kingdom reign of Christ could have begun had the Jewish leadership accepted God's chosen Messiah. Jewish leadership rejected Messiah & had him killed.
Gods promise of a physical King & physical Kingdom. Was only postponed & will happen at Christs soon return.
Zech 9:14 & 15, 12:10–14, 13:1, Jer 30:18, 32:44, 33:11, 26, Joel 3:1, Amos 9:11–15, Rev 20:6.
At Christ 2nd coming those that enter into His physical Kingdom are like us now & have the Adamic nature.
Under Christ rule the people will in peace & prosper. No war, animals will live in peace. Isa 65:25 The wolf & the lamb shall feed together & the lion shall eat straw like the bullock. Peoplev & animals live in peace Isa 11:8.
Satan is bound, however, at the end of the 1000 yrs. Satan is loosed. There is a rebellion (Rev 20:8-9). These people get to make a choice, same as we do now. Those that make the wrong choice can not enter into eternity with Christ.
