God's Kingdom

 "Let your Kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also on earth." —Matthew 6:10 God's Kingdom, or the Kingdom of God is a heavenly government. It will replace all other governments and will cause God’s will to be done in heaven and on earth. The news about God’s Kingdom is good. Soon God’s Kingdom will satisfy man’s need for good government. It will unite everyone living on earth (Daniel 2:44; Matthew 6:9, 10; 24:14). God Jehovah appointed his Son, Jesus the Christ, to be King of His Kingdom (Revelation 11:15). God’s Son is the ideal King because he is kind and he is firm for what is right (John 1:14). God Jehovah gave his Son, Jesus the power to begin ruling (Daniel 7:13, 14). Jesus is powerful enough to help people as he rules over the earth from heaven. After he was resurrected, Jesus ascended to heaven and sat down at the right hand of Jehovah (Hebrews 10:12, 13).

Ruling class
A group called “the holy ones” will rule with Jesus in heaven (Daniel 7:27). Jesus called them a “little flock” (Luke 12:32) numbering 144,000 who will rule over the earth with him (Revelation 14:1). The first holy ones chosen were Jesus’ faithful apostles. God Jehovah has continued to select faithful men and women as holy ones until now. Like Jesus, they are resurrected and transformed into a spiritual body (John 14:1-3; 1 Corinthians 15:42-44).

War in heaven

 * Main: War in Heaven

When God’s Kingdom began ruling in 1914, Jesus’ first action as King was to throw the Adversary (Satan and his demons) down to the earth. Satan became furious and began causing trouble throughout the earth (Revelation 12:7-10, 12). Since then, mankind’s woes have severely increased. Wars, famines, epidemics, and earthquakes are all part of a “sign” that the Kingdom will soon take full charge of earth’s affairs (Luke 21:7, 10, 11, 31).

Worldwide preaching
By means of a global preaching work, God’s Kingdom is already uniting a great crowd of people from all nations. Millions of meek people are becoming subjects of Jesus. God’s Kingdom will protect them when it destroys the present wicked system of things on earth. So all who want to benefit from God’s Kingdom should learn to be obedient subjects of Jesus (Revelation 7:9, 14, 16, 17). Subjects of God’s Kingdom, on the earth made new, will prosper under the Kingdom that accomplishes God’s original purpose for mankind. The earth will become a global paradise. Finally, Jesus will hand the Kingdom back to his Father (1 Corinthians 15:24-26; Psalm 37:10, 11, 29).
