Where will the glorious Kingdom be, and why is it called Heaven on earth?
The glorious Kingdom will be on the earth, yet it is called Heaven on earth because Christ will be the King. He will be in the midst of Israel, and Israel will be offered the opportunity to enter into all these earthly promises that will come to fruition.
Les explains that all the things seen in the Old Testament show this glorious Kingdom is going to be on the earth, but it is Heaven on earth because Christ is going to be the King. The King is in the midst of Israel, and they are being offered the opportunity to enter into all these earthly promises which are going to come to fruition. Les also points to Ephesians 1:10, showing that this could not happen until the Gentile complement had also been completed, which was the Church. When we enter into the Kingdom economy, everything is going to come under Christ’s headship: the earthly people of Israel and their earthly Kingdom, and all the ramifications of the heavenly people, the Body of Christ.
