Difference between the kingdom of God and the kingdom of heaven?

Jesus' discussion with the twelve apostles provides information essential to our understanding. Acts 1:2,3 "...after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen... being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:" The Kingdom of God spans all time, whereas the Kingdom of Heaven is not in effect during the Age of Grace. It will be reestablished when Christ returns. Acts 1:6,7 "When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power." The Kingdom of Heaven has been in abeyance since the close of the Gospel Period. It will again be in effect when Christ returns as King of Kings and Lord of Lords, and Israel is reestablished. By Godly design, the phrase the Kingdom of Heaven appears only in the Book of Matthew, for along with the Book of Revelation, this book emphasizes the kingly qualities of Christ. Matthew 2:1,2 "...behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews..." God's design is also evident in the appearance of the phrase the Kingdom of God throughout the Book of Acts and the Church Epistles. This is consistent with the truth that the Kingdom of God pertains to all times, including the Age of Grace. II Thessalonians 1:4,5 "...we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith... that ye endure... that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God..."

What are some of the characteristics of the kingdom of heaven?

God's Kingdom is a government established by Jehovah God with a King chosen by God. Who is the King of God's Kingdom? Jesus Christ. Jesus as King is greater than all human rulers and is called "the King of those who rule as kings and Lord of those who rule as lords." (1 Timothy 6:15) He has the power to do far more good than any human ruler, even the best among them. From where will God's Kingdom rule? Well, where is Jesus? You will remember learning that he was put to death on a torture stake, and then he was resurrected. Shortly thereafter, he ascended to heaven. (Acts 2:33) Hence, that is where God's Kingdom is-in heaven. That is why the Bible calls it a "heavenly kingdom." (2 Timothy 4:18) Although God's Kingdom is in heaven, it will rule over the earth.-Revelation 11:15. When Jesus said that his disciples should pray for God's Kingdom to come, he also said that they should pray for God's will to be done "as in heaven, also upon earth." God is in heaven, and his will has always been done there by the faithful angels. Consider the prophecy found at Daniel 2:44. There we read: "In the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin. And the kingdom itself will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite." This tells us that God's Kingdom was to be established "in the days of those kings," or while other kingdoms still existed. Second, it tells us that the Kingdom will last forever. It will not be conquered and be replaced by some other government. Third, we see that there will be war between God's Kingdom and the kingdoms of this world. God's Kingdom will be victorious. In the end, it will be the only government over mankind. Then humans will enjoy the best rulership they have ever known.

Is it kingdom of God in your heart?

To answer this question we must first try to identify how the Kingdom of God is defined in the scriptures.(!).."the kingdom of God is not in words but in power. (1Cor. 4v20)(2)"..flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God.(1Cor.15v50).Then, it is written that, "The kingdom of God is the fruit of the spirit, Love, Joy, Peace, Longsuffering, Gentleness, Goodness, Faith.The question is can all those be found in the hearts of humans?. Yes they most certainly can, but they cannot inherit the kingdom of God.


Is God still up there in Heaven?

According to scripture God is everywhere. However, Jesus, in Luke 17 ( the Pharisees question Him about the kingdom of God, Heaven) verses 20-21 says, "It is not over here, it is not there, but the Kingdom of God(heaven) is within you.

When and how do you experience the kingdom of God on earth?

You experience the kingdom of God not only on earth but within. As per the scripture, Luke 17:21 and Corinthians 3:16, God lives in the temple of your heart. The truth is this that God is everywhere, not just on earth, in the cosmos, in every atom of existence, in every living organism. Everything is God manifesting as this world. But unfortunately, we are unable to experience the kingdom of God on earth and within us because we are caught in this Cosmic illusion or Maya. We are lost in our material world and we don't see the Divine Spirit that is beating within our heart.
