Secondly, this kingdom is established in the world hidden from none-believers although they both\u00a0\u00a0 live in the same physical territory. Finally, these parables explain that the kingdom of righteousness will be established upon the earth after the final judgment when all evil has been destroyed.\u00a0<b>The overall theme of the \u201ckingdom of Heaven\u201d is that all of what God has for man&#8217;s eternal glory is achieved when they accept the Lordship of Jesus Christ in their soul<\/b>.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The wisdom then of these parables are so dynamic that Christ described them as \u201ckeys\u201d that the gates of hell could not prevail against.\u00a0\u00a0 Hallelujah<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN The book of Matthew presents Christ as king and is written from the perspective that Jesus<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"elementor_header_footer","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-568","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/havegospelwilltravel.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/568","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/havegospelwilltravel.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/havegospelwilltravel.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/havegospelwilltravel.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/havegospelwilltravel.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=568"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/havegospelwilltravel.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/568\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":576,"href":"https:\/\/havegospelwilltravel.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/568\/revisions\/576"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/havegospelwilltravel.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=568"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
