"Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth" (Matthew 5:5).

"Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven" (Matthew 6:10).

"You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign on the earth" (Revelation 5:10, NIV).

"Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years" (Revelation 20:6).

"Now it shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow to it. Many people shall come and say, 'Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; He will teach us His ways, and we shall walk in His paths.' For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. He shall judge between the nations, and rebuke many people; they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore" (Isaiah 2:2-4).

"He who testifies to these things says, 'Surely I am coming quickly.' Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!" (Revelation 22:20).

In fact, understanding that the Kingdom of God is real is the only way that the inspired prophecies throughout the Bible all make sense. It's a beautiful and unifying thread through the tapestry of the entire Bible.

To put it simply, the gospel without a real Kingdom of God is like a hamburger … without the meat.
