JWs consider God's Kingdom to be a Government

Post #1

Post by JehovahsWitness »

Jehovah's Witnesses believe God's Kingdom for which many Christians have prayed throughout the ages to be a (heavenly) government (three words).

What, in three or four words if possible, do you believe it to be?

(Many Christians I have met have said its "A feeling" (in one's heart).

This govenment will soon destroy all forms of human rulership and replace manmade governments with one world government. This world government, located in heaven and headed by Jesus himself, will elimnate all world problems such as hunger, war, injustice, pollution... and ensure that those that yearn for peace and security can live on this our planet earth under the conditions all righteous hearted people long for.
When you use the word soon, does it mean the same thing as at hand?
On the face of eternity, "soon" means the same thing as "at hand." 80 Billion years from now, we'll look back on these last 2,000 years that we're in now as---the Kingdom came SOON after Jesus was on the earth.

Well the OP is about what YOU believe, so let's get back to it.

The kingdom of God is the reign of God.
Could you explain what you mean it's a "the reign" then, its not clear to me. Do you mean the kingdom is a system of rulership?
Probably yes, I guess, but as described and/or written about by Jesus and his apostles.

In which there is a present aspect and a future one.
In light of what you said here, please explain how you see Daniel 2:44.
