John, Do you think the K of G could also refer to what we call “eternal
heaven” and/or “the millennium reign of Christ on the earth” ?

Slade, Please explain what you think the “Kingdom”
means. Is it just the 1.000 millenium, or is it eternity, or did it start
the day you got saved? Izzy
Allow me an explanation for a single passage -- Matt
6:33 "Seek ye first the kingdom
of God and His righteousness
and ........" This particular teaching has been a source
of genuine purpose for me and it is this: the word "kingdom"
can have this meaning ----- "sovereign rule and authority." In
view of the fact that "kingdom" in 6:33 is a present time reality and
not a future circumstance, this definition seems to be a fit. If that is
true, this is how the verse can read: "Seek ye first the
sovereign rule and authority of God and His righteousness
.....," something I often fail to do. For me, it makes a
big difference.
