Yes, It was such a revelation to me when I was reading and seeking in the word about it. And everysince the other day when the Lord opened my heart to it, He gave me such a peace that passes all understanding..
It's like a rest came upon me. Everysince I've been seeking my own heart about somethings and God is so speaking to me about it. To be honest I haven't been able to stop praying, I have even found waking up in the night from dreams in prayer. It's like a peace with a calmed joy! I don't know how to put it into words. Seems everything has fallen into place.

That's wonderful to hear! I don't have all the answers... God does, and the Holy Spirit will continue to speak!
think about this 1000 year reign some of you say its spiritual so after a 1000 years what next since its spiritual.
The scripture says Jesus will return the same way he left literal everyone see will see him. after his coming he will reign for 1000 years.
if he was to retun spiritual everyone eye would not see him.
the fact is the disciples and OT preach a literal coming. if you can explain how can everyone eye see him christian or not and be a spiritual coming plz explain

When I say or hear the Lord's Prayer "thy kingdom come thy will be done" I always think of a society without privleged and underprivleged; without national boundaries and wars; with justice for all men and women; where we practice stewardship of the earth; a world where the resources are shared in such manner that there are no starving children in Africa and obese children in the USA; where the sick are cared for, the elderly secure and the lonely and troubled are comforted. We have the capacity to bring the Kingdom of God to a reality; we don't need to wait for Jesus. It is how we treat those we meet tomorrow and the way we use the power that is ours.

I also believe in the literal second coming of Christ, when every eye shall see Him coming in the clouds. But that will be the end of the world... we will all be judged and go to our reward. I do not believe in a literal reign of Christ on earth to come...that runs contrary to Jesus' teaching and example, and every time His disciples or the people referred to a literal kingdom, He refuted this. OT prophecy pointed to the Messiah, who would come establish His spiritual kingdom (which we enter by being born-again). Believers are living and reigning with Christ now.

Right! Jesus' kingdom is not of this world (literal). But as God's children we can show the power of the kingdom to those around us.
I don't understand the need for God to have a kingdom, or proclaim that He has one. To me this only seems a human desire (the desire to be a king is because kings are like a god with subjects who worship him). Since God already is a god, why the need for a kingdom or the desire to be a king?
God doesn't need the kingdom, we do. Altho God does want (and deserves) the glory and honor this kingdom brings Him. As His servants in the kingdom, we are under "direct command" of the Holy Spirit.. and thus can point others to the kingdom of God. He can reach people directly, but chooses to work at times thru us.
