Evidence for God from Science

Multiple passages throughout the Bible show that God will establish His kingdom—a world-ruling supergovernment—on Earth at Jesus Christ’s Second Coming. The purpose and mission of Christ’s First Coming was to announce the arrival of this one world government. - Right?

The kingdom of God was the foundation of Christ’s teachings. Time and again, He preached about it.

Revelation: “And the seventh angel sounded [at Christ’s Return]; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms [governments] of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of His Christ; and He shall reign forever and ever” (11:15).

But what exactly is the Kingdom of God? Is it earthly, is it terrestral, is it a physical place, is it all spiritual, will it be a socialist kingdom, or a theocracy?

If you take the text literally, as I do, it's a physical kingdom. Christ will establish it when He returns and will reign from Jerusalem. If you take the text figuratively (which is, to my mind, a nice way of saying if you don't believe the text a written so you choose to invent your own meaning) then it can be anything you want. It can be the reign of the Church. It can be the reign of Christ over the Christian. It can be the universal good that God is working out in His divine plan which will be consummated in Christ's return. It can be an ideal with which human governments are to align themselves (which gives Christians a philosophical/theological basis on which to vote theocratically). It can be a plain theocracy conceived however you wish. And so on.

So what do you think it is?

The time that God's kingdom is established on earth is given in Rev 20 and 21, at the end of the thousand years.
At the soon coming of Christ the saints are raised to life (if they were dead), and taken to heaven to live there for a thousand years in the city called the New Jerusalem, which is in heaven now. I Thessalonians 4:17. Galatians 4:26.
