The Bible describes the Kingdom of God as a spiritual realm established by Christ, characterized by peace, righteousness, and the fulfillment of God's promises (Revelation 11:15).
The Kingdom of God is often depicted in Scripture as both a present reality and a future hope. It is established through the person of Jesus Christ, who reigns as King and fulfills God's redemptive plan. The Kingdom is not merely a political entity but encompasses a spiritual reign in the hearts of believers. This is illustrated in Revelation 11:15, stating that 'the kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ', reflecting His sovereign authority over all creation. Moreover, various prophecies throughout the Old Testament paint a picture of a harmonious and just reign where God's peace prevails (Isaiah 2:2-4; Isaiah 11:6-9).
