Kingdom of God

God's rule and reign breaking into the world — same as Kingdom of Heaven

lightbulbNot a place on a map — it's wherever God's rule is recognized and obeyed

Definition

Used mostly in Mark and Luke (Matthew typically says 'Kingdom of Heaven' — same meaning). Jesus proclaimed 'the Kingdom of God is near' as His core message. It's not just a future destination — it's God's authority, values, and presence breaking into the present. Whenever injustice is confronted, the sick are healed, the poor are lifted up, and people are freed — that's the Kingdom of God showing up.
