Here I am going to relate a summarized story of the Kingdom of God. First, we should know that a kingdom is a state of people ruled over by a king. If we look at them in many history books and in ancient movies, there we see a king with crown on his head sitting on his throne. He has a sword at his side, surrounded by guards, and protected by thousands of armies. And his people will come to worship him, offer gifts, and obey his voice. This is the type of kingdom that we are talking about.
Because God is a spirit and his kingdom is spiritual as the Bible said, there is none of the flesh have seen them before.
When man exists on earth, he has the mind of God for he is the image of him. In other words he could rule the world which is the main purpose of his existence.
In the beginning, the kingdom of God is not something visible out there but it was them that have dominion the world. They were his buildings and people existed on earth in the Garden of Eden. Thereafter, the kingdom corrupted when Adam failed to obey his rule, his kingdom destroyed, became evil and ruled by darkness; the prince of corrupt mind, because Adam failed to do his task and doing something else instead. I mean, he did what is good for his own like what we see today in some corrupt officials, professionals, teachers, skilled workers, laborers, helpers and even the youth.
Thus God has established his kingdom visibly to all people that they may see and understand his power through Moses, 3412 years ago. In the Mount of Sinai, there the people had begun observing things by sight. Worshiping God in the tabernacle/temple made with hands located in Jerusalem; in time, in seasons, and in meats all men did worship the king Jehovah.
As emphasized in the scripture saying;
They have the law given that whosoever will disobey shall be punished or be put to death by stoning. For example; whosoever doing work in the seventh day of the week shall be put to death, said the King.
Until such time the world has changed and restore its beauty through Jesus Christ – the Messiah. The old city of Jerusalem was then became desolate and destroyed by his great vengeance in the year 70AD (1,942 years ago) as he promised; This was during the war of Israel against Rome, he uses Romans army as his sword to destroy the city of unrighteousness.
And it was fulfilled, and the history tells;
Witnessed by: Josephus - The Israel Priest/General (70AD)
NOW as soon as the army had no more people to slay or to plunder, because there remained none to be the objects of their fury, (for they would not have spared any, had there remained any other work to be done,) Caesar gave orders that they should now demolish the entire city and temple, but should leave as many of the towers standing as were of the greatest eminency; that is, Phasaelus, and Hippicus, and Mariamne; and so much of the wall as enclosed the city on the west side. This wall was spared, in order to afford a camp for such as were to lie in garrison, as were the towers also spared, in order to demonstrate to posterity what kind of city it was, and how well fortified, which the Roman valor had subdued; but for all the rest of the wall, it was so thoroughly laid even with the ground by those that dug it up to the foundation, that there was left nothing to make those that came thither believe it had ever been inhabited. This was the end which Jerusalem came to by the madness of those that were for innovations; a city otherwise of great magnificence, and of mighty fame among all mankind.
As Jesus foretold before he died; that the buildings of the temple will be destroyed. And it happened forty years after.
Then the new one is restored by him.
As prophesied by Daniel;
The new city has been rebuilt in the inner man of his people, which are the walls and buildings not made with hands.
Now, the power of the King of kings spread not just in Israel but to all places over the earth.
So have peace of mind and rejoice in the kingdom of God within you.

This is the type of kingdom that we are talking about.
Because God is a spirit and his kingdom is spiritual as the Bible said, there is none of the flesh have seen them before.
- John 1:18 No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
- 1 John 4:12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
- 3 John 1:11 Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.
When man exists on earth, he has the mind of God for he is the image of him. In other words he could rule the world which is the main purpose of his existence.
- Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
In the beginning, the kingdom of God is not something visible out there but it was them that have dominion the world. They were his buildings and people existed on earth in the Garden of Eden. Thereafter, the kingdom corrupted when Adam failed to obey his rule, his kingdom destroyed, became evil and ruled by darkness; the prince of corrupt mind, because Adam failed to do his task and doing something else instead. I mean, he did what is good for his own like what we see today in some corrupt officials, professionals, teachers, skilled workers, laborers, helpers and even the youth.
- Ephesians 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
Thus God has established his kingdom visibly to all people that they may see and understand his power through Moses, 3412 years ago. In the Mount of Sinai, there the people had begun observing things by sight. Worshiping God in the tabernacle/temple made with hands located in Jerusalem; in time, in seasons, and in meats all men did worship the king Jehovah.
As emphasized in the scripture saying;
- Romans 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
They have the law given that whosoever will disobey shall be punished or be put to death by stoning. For example; whosoever doing work in the seventh day of the week shall be put to death, said the King.
- Exodus 35:2 Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a sabbath of rest to the LORD: whosoever doeth work therein shall be put to death.
Until such time the world has changed and restore its beauty through Jesus Christ – the Messiah. The old city of Jerusalem was then became desolate and destroyed by his great vengeance in the year 70AD (1,942 years ago) as he promised; This was during the war of Israel against Rome, he uses Romans army as his sword to destroy the city of unrighteousness.
And it was fulfilled, and the history tells;
Witnessed by: Josephus - The Israel Priest/General (70AD)
NOW as soon as the army had no more people to slay or to plunder, because there remained none to be the objects of their fury, (for they would not have spared any, had there remained any other work to be done,) Caesar gave orders that they should now demolish the entire city and temple, but should leave as many of the towers standing as were of the greatest eminency; that is, Phasaelus, and Hippicus, and Mariamne; and so much of the wall as enclosed the city on the west side.

This was the end which Jerusalem came to by the madness of those that were for innovations; a city otherwise of great magnificence, and of mighty fame among all mankind.
As Jesus foretold before he died; that the buildings of the temple will be destroyed. And it happened forty years after.
- Mat 24:1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. 2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
Then the new one is restored by him.
As prophesied by Daniel;
- Daniel 9:25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
The new city has been rebuilt in the inner man of his people, which are the walls and buildings not made with hands.
- 1 Corinthians 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
- 2 Corinthians 5:1 For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
- Luke 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: 21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
Now, the power of the King of kings spread not just in Israel but to all places over the earth.
- Romans 2:10 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:
So have peace of mind and rejoice in the kingdom of God within you.
