The Kingdom of God reality

Hello out there. I hope you are doing well today. I begin a series of blog teachings on a very powerful subject. We will be talking about The Kingdom Of God.
We will be taking our reading from 2 places [Mat 17:4] and Isaiah 9:6]. Jesus came preaching the Kingdom of heaven is at hand[or has arrived]. Mark 1:15 talks about the kingdom of God is at hand.

I want to lay some ground work for this. 1st, this kingdom of God is a theocracy or ruled by one person, Jesus Christ. It is not a democracy. In Democracy, you can vote your president,mayor,congressman,goverener in and you can vote them out. You can vote one what laws are passed and which ones fail, but in the Kingdom of God thats not so. Once He lays down a law or commandment, that's it. He is not concerned about your point of view about it, neither can you vote him in or out. It is a completely different way of operation.

Most of us were born in a democratic society and have no concept of Kingdom. Unfortunately, we have taken that mentality and applied to the spiritual realm. Democracy does not work in the spirit, PERIOD. A king gets his glory from territory.
the more territory He gets, the greater his glory. When a king has a son, he is referred to as prince[ which means 1st]. The prince is next in line for the throne.
the only way a prince can become a king, is if his daddy dies[King] or if the prince is placed in a foreign territory. let's say that there is a king and his son wants to rule now; then the king sends his son into a foreign land, and gives him provision, citizens and military backing, then there the prince can be a king. A prince cannot be a king while he is still at home with daddy.

When a kingdom wants to extend it's influences into a foreign land, it is called colonization. When democracy wants to extend its' influences into a foreign land, it is called invasion. The Prince takes with him people from his home land to that foreign colony, so that the influences of where he came from, can be experienced in that colony. You can't colonize with natives, you must have poepl who understand the culture and government of where they came from.

This is the groundwork for the kingdom of God. He wants His infulences to this earth to be administered by something He calls his sons[Romans 8:14] When you were born again, your citizenship was no longer from earth, you are a citizen of Heaven
[Philippians 3:20]. That word "conversation" means citizenship. So, when The King sends His son into a foreign land, to rule there, the son becomes king, so His daddy is referred to as the King of Kings[rev 19;16][rev 17;14]

Here is a nugget for you: In Isaiah 9:6 it says He shall be called Wonderful, counsellor, the mighty God, "PRINCE OF PEACE". If you'll notice that Jesus is called the prince of peace in this scripture, but not the King of peace. For Him to be called the King of peace, he has to leave heaven and come to earth, or a foreign terrirory. Once He is here, He is referred to as the King of peace. He was the incarnate Melchisedec in gen 14. As long as Jesus stayed in heaven He was prince of peace, but not King of peace.
