1 Corinthians 15:
45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.

46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.

47 The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven
(NOTE: The 2nd man: Chosen by God, who will become King & Priest is FROM heaven not IN heaven)

The Kingdom of Heaven is PHYSICAL! It's called the Kingdom of Heaven because, it's King is from heaven.

God makes Abraham a land promise:
The coming kingdom is the fulfillment of Gods unilateral, unconditional covenant pomise to Abraham (Gen 12:1-3, 15:17-18).

God make's Abraham another promise, seed/offspring:
Gen 22:
16 And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son:

17 That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;

18 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.

The Nation of Israel is Abraham's offspring. God gives the exact boundaries of the promised land in Num 34:1-15 (also: Deut 1:8, Ex 2:24, Ex 6:4, 8 & Ps 105:8-11)

The Gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven message begins with John the Baptist:

Matt 3:2 2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
(NOTE: The kingdom of heaven is at hand: near/in your grasp. All they had to do was believe Jesus was their long promised Messiah. And the time of restoration would have begun)

Matt 4:23 Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, "preaching the gospel of the kingdom"
(NOTE: We know on the cross they were shouting we have no King crucify him. However, after chapter 12 this prominent kingdom message disapears, changes from public via discourses to parables & private disciple teaching)

Matt 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
(NOTE: This kingdom doctrine is 100% Jewish. This isn't the Churchs message. The Body of Christ preaches the death, burial & resurrection. It's the 144k that will preach this doctrine, after the Church has been raptured. Why, the kingdom of heaven gospel because the King is coming. Israel is once again 100% of the Lord's focus.)

Read Peter's message at Pentecost, probably 1-3 million Jews gathered: Acts 2:21-38. You will find no mention of any Kingdom. Peter already knew, they had missed that boat.

Acts 1:
6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?

7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.

(NOTE: Solomon was Israel's last King to sit on David's throne, so, the time of the gentiles begins there & will continue until God's chosen King returns & sits on Davids Throne)

Lk 1:
31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.

32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:

Rev 22:16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David
(NOTE: He created David, so, who's throne has & will it forever be. Amen)
