Is God's Kingdom on Earth or in heaven?

Answer 1

The following passages of Scripture tells us about the Kingdom of God also called the Kingdom of Heaven. They should be able to tell you where God's Kingdom is and the difference between the Kingdom of God the Father and the Kingdom of God the Son.

"The Kingdom of Heavenis like leaven which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, till it was all leavened."(Luke Ch 13)

1 - The Kingdom of Heaven ruled by God the Son, Jesus Christ: Jesus "went on through cities and villages, preaching and bringing the good news of the kingdom of God. And the twelve were with him, and also some women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities." (Luke Ch 8). "My kingdom is not of this world." (John Ch 18). "The kingdom of God is not coming with signs to be observed; nor will they say, 'Lo, here it is!' or 'There!' for behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of you." (Luke Ch 17) "The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up; then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field."(Matthew Chapter 13) "The kingdom of heaven is like a net which was thrown into the sea and gathered fish of every kind; when it was full, men drew it ashore and sat down and sorted the good into vessels but threw away the bad. So it will be at the close of the age. The angels will come out and separate the evil from the righteous, and throw them into the furnace of fire; there men will weep and gnash their teeth." (Matthew Ch 13)

2 - The Kingdom of God the Father: "I tell you I shall not drink again of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom." (Matthew Ch 26) "All that the Father gives me will come to me; and him who comes to me I will not cast out. For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me; and this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up at the last day." (John Ch 6) "….Then comes the end, when he delivers the kingdom to God the Father after destroying every rule and every authority and power." (1 Corinthians) "…Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear" (Matthew Ch 13).

3 - The area assisted by the Holy Spirit: "These things I have spoken to you, while I am still with you. But the Counsellor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you." (John Ch 14)
