Yes, the kingdom is the literal, physical, political kingdom that Christ will set up on earth when He returns.
The kingdom is the fulfillment of God's covenant with Israel and has been God's plan from the beginning. It is the only kingdom in Scripture and will be established on earth when Christ returns to rule as King of kings and Lord of lords.
2 Samuel 7:16 — This verse shows God's promise to David of an everlasting kingdom, which the kingdom in the Bible fulfills.
In the Old Testament, the kingdom concept begins with God's covenant with Abraham, where God promised to make Israel a special nation, give them a land, and set up a government with Himself as King (Genesis 12:1-3). This covenant is reiterated in 2 Samuel 7:16, where God promises David that his house and kingdom will endure forever. The kingdom is the central theme of prophecy, as seen in Daniel's visions, which describe a kingdom that will be set up by God that will never be destroyed (Daniel 2:44).
Les Feldick emphasizes that the kingdom is always the same: a literal, physical, political kingdom that Christ will establish on earth when He returns. He stresses that the kingdom is not the church, but that believers are citizens of it now. This kingdom is the fulfillment of the Abrahamic Covenant and the Davidic Covenant, and it will be a thousand-year reign on earth, which is just the introduction to the eternal state.
The kingdom is a literal, physical, political kingdom on earth. It is not merely a spiritual state, but a future reign of Christ as King of kings and Lord of lords. This is consistent with Old Testament prophecies and God's covenants with Israel.
The kingdom is the culmination of God's covenant with Israel, particularly the Abrahamic Covenant. It will be established over the nation of Israel, who will be in their promised land, with the Messiah as their king from the lineage of David.
The kingdom is set up after the return of Christ, following the seven-year tribulation period. It will last for a thousand years, often called the millennium, and then give way to the eternal state.
