The purpose of this study is NOT to discuss the FUTURE PHYSICAL MILLENIAL KINGDOM OF GOD which is the Kingdom of Heaven which will surely come down to earth in Jerusalem in a 1,400 cubic mile physical kingdom (Revelation 21). This magnificent kingdom will be a 3-Dimensional shape of which I believe will be 1,400 square mile base with a 1,400-mile-high pyramid. My purpose here, however, is not to discuss or debate with those who sadly, shockingly are so blind to think there is no future, physical kingdom of God that will come, but rather these reprobates in the faith believe the entire Davidic kingdom is only spiritual in nature and all scripture is only allegory.
These false teachers will learn the hard way when they most likely will be standing at the GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT. IF these false teachers are saved, all of their work will be burned at the BEMA SEAT OF CHRIST. There are extensive works that discuss the future physical kingdom of God and properly defend the physical kingdom and premillennial doctrine like Dr. Wood's work, "The Coming Kingdom". Note: There are glaring errors with Dr. Wood's work, primarily his use of the NASB Bible which causes him great error in understanding Luke 17 and ultimately his complete obliteration of the now existing Kingdom of God in the SPIRITUAL WORLD right now. Please see my extensive study on Dr. Woods.
Reproving Dr. Andrew Woods - a case study in how modern day Bible Scholars pour Leaven into the Manna (thethirdheaventraveler.com)
https://www.thethirdheaventraveler.com/2018/10/reproving-dr-andrew-woods-case-study-in.htm
It is precisely here is where I want to present the express purpose of this Blog. This is also where Dr. Woods falls off the proverbial cliff into the abyss of ignorance. And ironically although Dr. Woods is spot on in his scholarship of the future kingdom of God, he fails to understand that the spiritual kingdom in existence now is extremely real and does in fact reside in every human being born. Luke 17:21.
Luke 17:20,21 is exactly where the wheels fall off of Dr. Woods' study. I do strongly encourage the reader to read my letter to Dr. Woods to understand this in detail. Without going into detail, here's a short excerpt of my letter to Dr. Woods that describes in part this dilemma: Quote:
Note: It is most revealing and beyond the scope of irony to reveal Dr. Woods’ complete understanding of the theocratic physical kingdom of heaven yet to completely fail in his comprehension and teaching the Spiritual existence and function of Kingdom of God in the of this current to understand Luke 17:20-21 which is the true nature of the kingdom of God is found right here in Genesis 1:26, 27, Genesis 2:7; Luke 17:20,21; Romans 1:18-20; and in regenerated man’s transition from knowing who God is to actually fellowship and relationship found in Colossians 1:12-20.
The following is a four (number 4 in the Bible means “creation”) scripture comparison showing how man has/possesses the Kingdom of God living within him through the Holy Spirit working in the function of man’s conscience and intuition (knowing and judging). The only difference between a lost person and a saved person is the COMMUNION OF THE SPIRIT meaning the saved person LIVES IN GOD THE FATHER and JESUS CHRIST and has full communion and is ALIVE for eternity. A lost person is eternally spiritually dead and apart spiritually NOT Residing in God or Jesus Christ. Both the lost and saved possess a body, soul (their will, volition, emotion, character) and spirit (intuition and conscience and communion - the saved communion with and living eternally with God - the lost death unto death eternally with Satan).

Luke 17:20, 21
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: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
Daniel 7:27
And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.
Matthew 12:28
But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.
Luke 11:20
But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you.
John 18:36 - Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
Colossians 1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
Revelation 1:9
I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Regarding Kingdom in the Bible. Specifically inheriting vs entering.
Dear Reader or Listener to this Blog posted on YouTube: IF YOU ARE SAVED - A new Creature in Christ by believing that Jesus Christ came and died on the cross for your sins according to the scriptures and rose again on the third day according to the scriptures 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, Right now at this very moment you read or listen to this study - you are NOW SPIRITUALLY existing IN Jesus Christ and IN God The Father IN Heaven - the 3rd Heaven. This Spiritual KINGDOM is God's. Remember since God the Father is Spirit who resides in those of us who are saved.
The split second you were saved your SPIRIT was REGENERATED - quickened from spiritual death to life -- from eternal death - darkness to LIFE and LIGHT. 2 Corinthians 5:17. Colossians Chapter 1.
Let’s read and study together:
Colossians 1:9-20 King James Bible
9 For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
10 That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
11 Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;
12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;
20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
The purpose of this study is to reveal the powerful truth of a deeper understanding of WHO we are as Christians in Christ and literally what this means. For some good reference material, I urge you to read my study and video: To be a good soldier for Christ we MUST know our identity in Christ.

I’d like to FOCUS specifically on verse 13: “ Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:”

Jesus CONVEYED himself. See note below regarding the significance
John 5:13
“And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place.”
All of the modern Bible translations pervert scripture. See my study on why the King James Bible matters.
Here’s what the NIV and NASB say: Jesus “slipped away.” The ESV and NKJV say, Jesus “withdrew himself”.
However the King James Bible properly identifies what happened: CONVEY . This is a point from which motion proceeds out of a place and time with exceeding abundance. To be raptured, caught up and away secretly. READ Convey definition above.
Look at what Jesus did when the rabid angry crowd dragged him out of the synagogue to the cliff. Luke 4:30, 31. “Passing through the midst.” when carefully examined implies “supernaturally” departed and appeared in Capernaum.

Revelation 1:10
I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
Note: We see here the Godhead in these verses. God is Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit OF God and OF Jesus Christ.. Jesus Christ IS THE IMAGE of the INVISIBLE God who is Spirit. There is ONLY ONE SPIRIT AND ONE BODY. Read
EPHESIANS 2:13-19
But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;
And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.
For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
EPHESIANS 4:4-6
Endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
One Lord, one faith, one baptism
One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

Dr. Woods' misunderstanding is only one of many. There's a tremendous amount of false information online regarding the Kingdom of God in existence now.
TERMS:
General: Also, as far as the Bible terms Kingdom of Heaven is often - if not mostly - referring to the future physical kingdom, and the Kingdom of God often - if not mostly - referring to spiritual. These two terms can be and in some instances are the same, based on linguistic terms. Context and by rightly dividing the word of truth is what determines the difference.

Some believe kingdom of heaven and God are the same. However similar it may seem. We must understand that by reason of both grammar and context in scripture through proper hermeneutics, they are of course the same "physical" place in the future, but now it is the eternal spiritual kingdom of God. In essence when reading your bible always know which dispensation and the context you're reading to know exactly.
Detailed:
Kingdom of God: ETERNAL SPIRITUAL KINGDOM which will also be manifested in the future Physically on earth known as the Kingdom of Heaven. The eternal existence of the Spiritual Kingdom of God the Father. We know this is Spiritual because God the Father is Spirit. No man has seen him. He resides as the Holy Spirit within His only begotten Son Jesus Christ and functions as the SOUL within Christ as the very essence of Jesus Christ. Since we human beings were created in God's image, we consist of 3 parts: Body, Soul, Spirit. Genesis 1:25,26, 2:7; 1 Thessalonians 5:23, God also consists of 3 parts of the GODHEAD and NOT 3 separate gods as the pagan trinity of polytheism teaches. See complete detailed study on Godhead is Biblical - Trinity and Modalism are NOT. Trinity is PAGAN worship of Baal.

Kingdom of Jesus
The expression KINGDOM OF GOD is used 68 times in the New Testament There’s also scripture that reads, “Kingdom of Jesus” or The Kingdom of His (God the Father’s) Son. Interesting we also read of The Kingdom of God and Jesus used together which proves the Godhead, i.e., Jesus Christ is the IMAGE - PERSON of the invisible God who is Spirit. In Jesus Christ dwells the fullness of the Godhead BODILY. Colossians 1:15, 2:8.9,10.

Differences of the Kingdom Gospel vs The Gospel of GRACE.
There exists a terrible misunderstanding and confusion that scripture referring to INHERITING the Kingdom means SALVATION. This is NOT true. Please see in the link below that ENTERING the Kingdom is a salvation issue whereby INHERITING the Kingdom is strictly referring to the entitlement of position of appointment and authority of ruling with Jesus Christ.

EPHESIANS 2:13-19
But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;
And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.
For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
EPHESIANS 4:4-6
Endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
One Lord, one faith, one baptism
One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
