THE KINGDOM OF GOD
The Kingdom of God like a seed planted – Mark 4:26, 31 Cp. 1 Pet. 1:23
The Kingdom of God with power seen before some taste death – Mark 9:1; 1 Cor. 4:20
The Kingdom of God is God since Jesus cast out devils by the Spirit of God – Mat. 12:28
The kingdoms of this world were shown to Jesus (Mat. 4:8; Luke 4:5); but these kingdoms become Christ’s (Rev. 11:15), which greatly angers the nations (Rev. 11:18).
The Kingdom of God hard for a rich man to enter in – Mark 10:23-25; Luke 18:24-25
The Kingdom of God close to the scribe that knows the Shema – Mark 12:28-34
The Kingdom of God is within you – Luke 17:20-21 Cp. John 3:3, 5
The Kingdom of God as a little child – Luke 18:16-17
The Kingdom of God hard for a rich man to enter in – Luke 18:24-25; Mark 10:23-25
The Kingdom of God requires a citizen to be Born Again to enter – John 3:3, 5
The Kingdom of God entered through much tribulation – Acts 14:22
The Kingdom of God is righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost – Rom. 14:17
The Kingdom of God is in power [dunamei] – 1 Cor. 4:20; Mark 9:1
The Kingdom of God and those excluded – 1 Cor. 6:9-11

The kingdom of God cometh not with “observation” [S:3907 parateresis; inspection, i.e. ocular evidence] (Luke 17:20). Some wrongly thought that the kingdom of God should shortly “appear” [S:398 anaphaino; to show] (Luke 19:11). The New Birth allows one to “see” [S:1492 eido; see, know] the kingdom of God (John 3:3). Rom 14:17 - For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. Matt 13:19 - When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth [send, put together (mentally)] it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side. Mark 4:30 - And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it? 31 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth:
HEAVENS: Ps 19:1 -
The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,
5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
6 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof. Milky Way Galaxy - Disc Shaped, five distinct arms – at least 300,000,000,000 Stars Milky Way Diameter - 103,253,873.7 light years (586,520,000,041,500,000,000 miles

Note: Per the SPACE Almanac by Anthony R. Curtis, “astronomers estimate countless trillions of galaxies in the Universe.” Note: Immeasurable- Jer. 31:37 “if heaven [8064] measured … his people disappear” Ps 8:3 - When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; 4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? 5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. 6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet: 7 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field; 8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas. 9 O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! Note: Isa. 40:12 span [2239 zereth (zeh’-reth); from 2219 [zarah (zaw-raw’); a prim. root; to toss about]; the spread of the fingers, i.e. a span] … measure [taken w. thumb and two fingers, a pugil, i.e. pinch]
EARTH: 2809. Moving Six Directions At Once The earth moves in at least SIX different ways, and yet we on earth are not dizzy. The movements are: 1). The earth spins on its axis, like a top, at the speed of one-third mile per second or 1,000 miles per hour. If it were 100 miles per hour, the earth would alternately freeze and burn. 2). It weaves slowly back and forth on its axis, tilting to an angle of 23 degrees, then swinging slowly back, twice a year. This gives us our seasons. 3). The earth with the moon is swinging around the sun, once a year at the rate of 18½ miles per second (66,600 mph). And it never varies 1/10,000th of a second on this annual trip. COMPARISON: if driving 6000 mph, never would reach 5999 or 6001 mph. [Per Huse: In a 70 life, travel 41 billion miles (66,862.36 mph)] 4). The sun, with all its planets, is on a trip, rushing northward at 12 miles per second (43,200 mph). 5). The nearby stars, with our planetary system, are revolving at 180 miles per second (648,000 mph) around the Milky Way’s center. 6). The Milky Way, our galaxy, with all its millions of stars, is on a tremendous journey, plunging through space at terrific speed [Per Huse: 1,100,000 mph]. Who knows where? God guides and controls them all
.
COMPARISON: Total speed, excluding the axis tilting: 516.33 mps, 30,980 mpm, 1,858,800 mph, 44,611,200 mpd. NY to LA round trip (2824 mi.) 5648 mi./10.94 sec., i.e. 5.49 trips/min. Ps 115:15 - Ye are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth. 16 The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD’s: but the earth hath he given to the children of men. 17 The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence. 18 But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the LORD
