Your poll has an option missing and that is NEITHER, because the Kingdom of God has already come in both places..


The Kingdom of God is the reign of God. The Kingdom of God is in heaven – now, where God reigns. So it cannot be TO COME in Heaven.


But also the Kingdom of God has already broken into this world wherever God reigns in our hearts. Therefore in that sense the Kingdom of God is not COMING on earth as it has already come.

Correct.
I vote with you Winsome

My vote too is with Winsome... the questions seemed worded incorrectly. But yet deliberate...?

Well true, but still New Jerusalem is yet Coming to Earth and we will also know the Kingdom of Heaven in a greater way than we do now...when we see in full what we now only see in part. But true, the Kingdom of God is alive in the temple of his people today amen, so that the angels Desire to look into this Grace we know.

Ah if it has already come to earth and heaven then why did Jesus Christ instruct us to pray - thy kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven?

In Christ

Have you got an expurgated Bible? Mine says:
your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. (Mt 6:10)

The KJV even breaks it into two sentences:

Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven

[doinghiswill]

Mat 6:10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.


Mar 12:34 And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.

so what does that mean for them back then.....is time an issue? Is the Kingdom of God a place?


Luk 17:20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
Luk 17:21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.


What think thee? I think the Kingdom of God is now.

Kingdom has already come??? I believe the gentleman is referring to after the destruction of Earth by God Himself as said in Revelation. Scriptures state there will be a NEW aka fresh,another,etc Heaven AND Earth...the old ones are done with after the great battle of Armageddon. No one after the death of Christ (I believe) has access to Heaven aka the Kingdom of God until after said battle..... for one of the first things that Jesus does is raise the dead ... this would LOGICALLY mean that all saved believers that have passed are asleep until this glorifying moment to face judgment.

Obviously God creates a NEW earth ( READ REVELATION)for his children to live happily ever after. Fact according to scripture...there are 2 separate places...the New Heaven and the New Earth...where the lot of saved individuals such as myself, will logically dwell on the New earth God has created. I dont really care where it is exactly, since I know a bunch of you are going to insist your going to go to Heaven, just as long as its under the literal blanket of God.
