Will God's promised kingdom be on earth or in heaven?
God's promised kingdom will be on earth, not in heaven. In the Abrahamic covenant, God told Abraham He would make of him a nation, put them in a geographical area of land, and someday come Himself to be their king over a glorious kingdom on earth.
Les explains that the Abrahamic covenant had three parts. God promised to make of Abraham a nation, to put them into a geographical area of land, and someday to come Himself and be their king over a glorious kingdom on earth, not in heaven. The first two parts were consummated relatively quickly, but the third part remained future. God's purpose was to use Israel to bring the nations back to a knowledge of Him, though Israel rejected that opportunity.
