    No offense but you guys are idiots. He spoke about the kingdom of heaven and of God. It’s obvious that you two have the veil still over your eyes and can’t see the truth. Every book that he’s mentioned in he has taught the kingdom of heaven. From Matthew chapter 4:17 all the way to the book of Acts 1:3. That was the only message he told his disciples of preach Matthew 10:7, does the message she told everybody to seek first Matthew 6: 33, he even said the end will not come until this message of the kingdom is priest all over the world Matthew 24:14. I’m assuming you are the people he’s talking about when he talks about the blind leading the blind.

    Hey guys, look at Dr Myles Munroes teachings on the Kingdom, it transformed me and I studied it for a decade… he was the one that helped me because I always had that same question and why did he say Seek the Kingdom First ❤ and the gospel of the kingdom shall be preached and then the end will come…. I wanted to know so much and the Holy Spirit will reveal

    The Kingdom is the home God created for us to live

    It’s a very pleasant conversation between Tim and Jon about the ‘Kingdom Of God’ which appears to be The central theme in Jesus’ message. A passing reference is made to the united kingdom, Britain. Well, that’s your concept you have there. The Kingdom of God was like the Roman kingdom

    “A kingdom is not a democracy, it is not a religion and it’s not a republic. A kingdom is a governing influence of a king over his territory, impacting it with his will his purpose and his intent producing a citizenry of people who express his culture and reflect his nature.” Dr Myles Munroe.

    Watch the video below where Benny Hinn is interviewing Dr Myles Munroe who gives a hilarious and exciting presentation of the Kingdom Of God. You will be so amazed and edified. Chances are this video could change your life

    how the kingdom rises in God Is Savior

  6. @lingumpillay7933 on May 2, 2025 at 8:50 pm

    God is a King. You cannot be a king without something to rule over. The territory where a king exerts his influence is called his domain. This is where we get the word kingdom from. It is the influence of a king over his domain. Gen 1v26. When God created man in His image and likeness, He created man to be like Him, a king. He then gave man their own territory to rule over, the earth. This is what God gave us, He gave us a kingdom. We are the kings, our domain is the earth. When Adam sinned, he lost the Holy Spirit and abdicated this kingdom. When Jesus came, He restored what was lost, the Holy Spirit, who is the seal of our legal right to have dominion over the earth. Jesus came preaching this message, a message of this kingdom that has returned. We are kings, created to be so before the fall. That is why the Bible calls Jesus the King of kings.

  7. @JESUS555 on May 2, 2025 at 8:52 pm

    Please watch myles Monroe he has a great understanding on the kingdom. If Jesus’s speaking on it we should listen

  8. @remonstrant on May 2, 2025 at 8:52 pm

    Some advice, you two meander way too much. This sounds more like a behind the scenes to prepare for how you are going to cover the topic rather than the actual video about the topic.

  9. @juanitajones3470 on May 2, 2025 at 8:53 pm

    Keep on studying young man you’ll get it one day This is not about a religion called Christianity This is about the government of God which is called the kingdom of God and you have to be filled with the Holy Spirit in order to be in this kingdom according to John’s chapter 3 when Jesus was speaking to Nicodemus I wished I had heard this one year ago then I could explain to you what the kingdom is it’s not a religion call Christianity?

  13. @dbaargosy4062 on May 2, 2025 at 8:57 pm

    think of that first reign and what instruction leads to that reign and Much earlier is The Let There Be Light Resulted into light Was There…The Reing Upon That Is The Expectation of That Letting Light Be There…Consider Holy The Spirit That moved on the face of the deep. The nearness of the kingdom of God Is To Us from where we Are.Set

  14. @GODISTRUTH77 on May 2, 2025 at 8:59 pm

    We’re dragging this out. Now let’s start with Jesus saying repent. Without true repentance. Which is a deep genuine remore for grieving God’s heart by a life of sin and disobedience. Then, you receive the Holy Spirit. Which renews your heart and mind. You’re reborn. But your flesh is still stronger. Which keeps you carnal minded. To make your spirit stronger than our flesh is to give it its daily bread. The word of God. Reading the word and prayer daily increases your spirit, renewed heart and mind, your faith, ability to walk in righteousness and obedience, etc. You’re now no longer living in the bondage the world puts you in. You have a deeper connection with God. You can hear His voice better and know His will. Therefore, you can do what He put you here to do. Which is to advance His kingdom. Up until Jesus resssurection and releasing the Holy Spirit. Satan was ruling. He was able to control all ppl. When you have the Holy Spirit, he can’t touch you. When the Holy Spirit came, it bound Satan. Hence why Jesus spoke of coming into the strong man’s house bounding him and plundering his stuff. If you don’t repent and receive the Holy Spirit and put on the full armor of God. You’re on the losing side. Like Jesus said, " Who’s ever not with me is against me, who’s ever not working with me is working against me." Sadly many don’t repent. Don’t put the work in and think they’re good. James says " Faith without works is dead" no work dead faith. Jesus even stated Isaiah " their mouths profess me but their hearts are far from me " You know when you’ve received the Holy Spirit. Because peace, love and self control become a constant state. You don’t live in sin anymore. When you make a mistake you feel conviction and repent right away.

    Dear Tim & Jon. Greetings from Australia. The Bible project is a profound blessing to me. I spent 14 years as a Bible Teacher (before the days of computers or internet) and only wish your material was available back then. Suffice I did attend a Bible College in Israel such that the History Geography of the Bible is in my DNA. These days I share your material to folks one on one which is wonderful. Keep up the great work

  16. @oktober06 on May 2, 2025 at 9:00 pm

    repent (turn around = towards God) because the Kingdom of God is at (your) hand … not time wise or space wise but dependent on our thinking / doing

  20. @ericgriffith3579 on May 2, 2025 at 9:09 pm

    Humans don’t like to be ruled or reigned over because we associate that with earthly rulers’ behavior. Jesus said “My kingdom is not of this world” John 18:36. And based on how He described the kingdom of God, I cant wait for His kingdom to be physically established in this world. In the meantime, I pray He reigns in my heart and that the Holy Spirit helps me become a good citizen of that kingdom.

  22. @amygonzalez2965 on May 2, 2025 at 9:12 pm

    This is so bad!! Why are people listening to The Bible Project? It doesn’t matter what YOU think a scripture passage says, what matters is what the biblical historical meaning is in CONTEXT.

  23. @mikemikeley8079 on May 2, 2025 at 9:13 pm

    May I have the reference scripture that corresponds to “the rule / reign of God” spoken of by the prophet Isaiah? Thank you for taking time out to expound on His Most Holy Word.

    i am adversary to unproductive soils for the seed is good

    and like the king’s immediate will, that an unproductive tree be removed and that husbandman said let me dig around it and dung it and give it another year…and the king is reasonable …

  25. @CynthiaDavis-eu2ri on May 2, 2025 at 9:15 pm

    In the Bible when it says these certain immoral people will never enter the Kingdom of God is speaking of in Heaven where God is? Or the Church where people are learning about God’s law and are part of the larger group? group

  26. @seramamomma on May 2, 2025 at 9:15 pm

    Matt 5.3 kept popping up in my head (Blessed are the poor in spirit the kingdom of God is theirs) I always found the verse strange. People say it means to be humble, but I knew God was showing me something. Then I came on Matt 12.28 If you cast out demons(spirits) in the Spirit of the Lord you will be in the kingdom… The Kingdom is in you, you cannot serve 2 masters, repent the kingdom is upon you, at hand, here. Yes! so Repent so you can be poor (lacking) in extra spirits (demons) aka cast out your demons & sin no more then you ARE in Gods Kingdom. He is being patient but soon anyone who doesn’t Fear him, have a covenant with him, is working diligently to clean & protect their temples & image before God will be destroyed. We protect our demons & comfort them vs evicting/binding on earth & heaven. Being repented & changed in all thought & action is the only way to keep them out. Forgive each other, anoint yourselves, fast, pray without ceasing.

  37. @dbaargosy4062 on May 2, 2025 at 9:33 pm

    please look up what "human" means…if it means "of man," in your dictionary, of man, is the more instructive, and deeply more per individual, with The One Were After Made In His Image, Sons and Daughters, male and female

    Laws faith Love Jesus Christ lord way truth life Father son holy spirit "The kingdom of god" is the first two "firm A men cross" as evil and good are gods laws in the wilderness that cross the red sea to faith and then "Jesus Christ" as Laws and faith cross to lord as love now in "the kingdom of Heaven" as love is your last death here at all three wise names because Lord will see for the other two where a king is still with you as the lord Jesus Christ at heaven within is in "the kingdom of Heaven" is not the same as the kingdom of god where a king is with gods Laws before a king finds himself with the lord Jesus Christ at the end where the kings lord is false love about two be dead and return again. "I even I is now at six even where the kings lord was love followed [never reach] to learn to fear that lord given first and find the lord Jesus Christ in time. Love has no evil side and the kings lord is good and evil mixed that returns again [pale horse]

  39. @grasonicus on May 2, 2025 at 9:36 pm

    For Jesus, the Father (God) was the most important. There are many examples of this. E.g. John 5:30: _I can do nothing on my own. I judge _*_as God tells me._*_ Therefore, my judgment is just, because _*_I carry out the will of the one who sent me,_*_ not my own will._

  40. @LorenzoLlamas on May 2, 2025 at 9:37 pm

    Indeed, one of the basic teachings of the Bible relates to the Kingdom of God.
    Jesus Christ and his apostles made this a prominent part of their message,
    Jesus foretold that ” this good news of the Kingdom will be preached in all the
    inhabited earth…” Matthew 24:14. NWT. For many church goers the Kingdom
    is a mystery because the clergy neglect the Kingdom of God. Why? People do
    find it unusual. How can religious leaders ignore Daniel 2:44? ” In the days of
    those kings, the God of heaven will set up a Kingdom that will never be brought
    to ruin…” Is it Gods Kingdom they want, or a ” New political World Order, ”by man
    and not by God? Jesus taught us how to pray for that Kingdom to come saying:
    ”… let your name, {Jehovah}, be sanctified. Let your Kingdom come, let your will
    take place, as in heaven, also upon earth. Matthew 6:9,10. The Lords Prayer.
    This is a request for God’s Kingdom to come against its enemies and do away
    with these unrighteous Kingdoms under the manipulation and influence of the
    Devil Satan, the god and ruler of this world. John 12:31; 14:30; 16:11; 1 John 5:
    19. The earthly Kingdom will be like the heavenly Kingdom in perfect peace and
    order among Gods family of angels doing his will and worshiping the true God,
    Jehovah, the Fatherly, creator of creation, in heaven and on earth. For this the
    Son of God, Jesus Christ came to redeem mankind from sin and death, aside
    from the main reason, which is to declare God’s name and make it known to
    his followers and to establish a new and better covenant with Israel, but they
    refused it, so the Kingdom was passed on to the Gentile nations and anyone
    that wanted to join the new covenant, be he Jew, or a man of the nations.
    Matt. 25:34; 21:43; Luke 12:32; 22:29; John 18:36. But as for the nation of
    Israel as a whole, God will have no more dealings with it. It died to him in 70
    C.E. The Kingdom of God is a heavenly government in the hands of Jesus
    Christ as our reigning king. Isa.32:1; Rev. 19:16. However the greater king in
    all of heaven and earth is the Father of Jesus Christ, he is the king of the
    Christ and all the heavenly family and to him all bow down in worship, yes,
    to Jehovah God, all will render sacred service and worship the one and only
    almighty God, forever. Soon, the Kingdom will do away with all these Kingdoms
    on earth, and it will stand indefinitely. On whose side will you stand, Satan’s
    world, or Jehovah God’s Kingdom? Psa. 83:18. Rev.20:1-7. Amen.
