Matthew 21:43 "Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit
Luke 12:32 "Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom.
Matthew 21:43 talks about Israel
Luke 12:32 talks about the church age we are in now
Luke 21:24 And they shall fall on the edge of the sword, and shall be led captive into all nations, and Jerusalem shall be trodden under foot of the Gentiles, until the time of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
that time is at its end
body of Adam
what body was you apart of before Christ? where are you from ? Adam right
Adam had works as well as a fallen man to feed and cloth till the ground
Adam came from dirt and went back to dirt so this is the body of Adam
Body of Jesus
Jesus came from spirit
works was bring salvation to the world
give gifts as you see 1 Corinthians 12:27 gets into
a kingdom is a system like a government to protect and have order
the body seeks out people for Christ teaching preaching healing saving breaking bread fellowship
from what ive learned the two are not the same
blessings

John, Chapter 19:
19And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.
20This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin.
21Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews.
22Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.

Body of Christ in terms of comparison with the Kingdom would be a small c church.
A local body.. even though putting 'local'in front of the word body is a bit nonsensical.
Body of Christ is the church.
Church is an assembly of saved, baptized believers.
All believers will be one church one day.. But for now we have churches plural, with some believers not in a church.. not in a body of Christ.
See Matthew 18 plus the numerous mentions to churches at particular places.

Matthew 21:33 “Listen to another parable: There was a landowner who planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a winepress in it and built a watchtower. Then he rented the vineyard to some farmers and moved to another place.
Genesis 2:5 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground. kingdom (rented out to Israel )
Matthew 21:34 When the harvest time approached, he sent his servants to the tenants to collect his fruit.
(Body of christ)
Matthew 21:38 “But when the tenants saw the son, they said to each other, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him and take his inheritance.’ 39 So they took him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.
(cross of Christ)
40 “Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?”
41 “He will bring those wretches to a wretched end,” they replied, “and he will rent the vineyard to other tenants, who will give him his share of the crop at harvest time.
(Israel rejected kingdom rented to gentiles)
43 “Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit. 44 Anyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; anyone on whom it falls will be crushed.
we the body of Christ are to do
Matthew 21:34 When the harvest time approached, he sent his servants to the tenants to collect his fruit.
1 Corinthians 3:6-9 New International Version (NIV)
6 I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow. 7 So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow. 8 The one who plants and the one who waters have one purpose, and they will each be rewarded according to their own labor. 9 For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building.

yes, you are correct
Jesus called this the regeneration
Matthew 19: (KJV)
27 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?
28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

He is reigning amongst the chaos. The wrath of God being revealed daily .
The perfect order in our new incorruptible bodies is the new heavens and earth. The former chaotic order will not come to mind ever again .
It has nothing to do with the outward flesh of Jew. as if we did wrestles against the corrupted things of this world .(flesh and blood)
Jesus said of his own flesh it profits for zero. we know no man after the flesh .some did for a short window. The flesh of a Jew used in ceremonial laws as parables had come to a end, The time of reformation has come .Sola scriptura, the gospel is still doing it work of converting mankind.
Same promise. . same one work of His faith or called labor of His love working in us to both will and do His good pleasure .
Its mankind under the influence of the god of this world that looks to divide what God calls one. or what God as a work of his faith calls one many the father of lies calls one. Turning things upside down. . . taking away the understanding of the Spirit we have in these bodies of death .
Acts 15:8-10 King James Version (KJV) And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us; And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith. ...(Christs faith working in them) Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
The faith of Christ that does work in those who believe will endure to the end It is not "dead faith". It cannot work .
