“Well, it always pays to make sure that we’re understanding the word that someone is using, so I go to one place to get the definition (at least one definition, as words sometimes have multiple definitions).”
It also pays to understand when someone is responding to your derision in kind.

I just wanted to be sure you did understand that there was a bureaucracy of government there. That's a good understanding of it and it's good to know that. I'm glad you mentioned it.
This is the real earth that the Kingdom is on. There are real people there, living normal lives, having families, building houses and working and so on. It takes governing and it takes a bureaucracy -- because that's "reality" and the Kingdom that Jesus, the Messiah of Israel has on this earth is "reality" -- just as much as we see now -- when we refer to the laws that we live under, to the governing officials that we refer to and how we make a living.
That will all be going on in the Kingdom, here on earth.... all very real stuff.
