This world contains many elements of the Kingdom of Heaven, but it isn’t.
In this world, one’s God-given rights is like an automobile, and wealth is like the gasoline for the automobile.
But while the world operates in only two dimensions and doesn’t realize one is missing in its understanding, God is at work in three.
Before Covid and the internet further undermined human relationships in real life, there was cable.
Social media on the internet is probably the closest thing to direct democracy on a large scale that the world has seen thus far.
Above all, politics should serve the Great Commission, laboring by His Spirit to prepare the way for Him.
We’re told that the ‘Kingdom of Heaven is within you.’
So it seems that if you have it, it’s with you wherever you are.
No kidding it isn’t
Hebrews 2:7-9
You made him for a little while lower than the angels;
you have crowned him with glory and honor,
putting everything in subjection under his feet.”
Now in putting everything in subjection to him, he left nothing outside his control. At present, we do not yet see everything in subjection to him. But we see him who for a little while was made lower than the angels, namely Jesus, crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone.

The “Here but not yet” Kingdom.
Had a pastor that likened Christ’s death and resurrection to D-Day in WWII. “Once we had our victory established in Normandy, Hitler knew he was finished. It was only a matter of time we had won. Lots of fighting left to do, but Hitler knew he had lost. And Satan isn’t going to wimp out and kill himself in a bunker.”

A question.. where is Heaven located?
To go to any planet would take days.
My son was taken to heaven and back in one night. He saw family and friends there. He saw the outstretched hands of Jesus, as if to say, COME.
Where is it located?
