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).

My earlier post on the subject
http://debatingchristianity.com/forum/v ... 788#835788When you use the word soon, does it mean the same thing as at hand?JehovahsWitness wrote:God's kingdom is a govenement made up of Jesus and 144,000 co-rulers. 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.

Well the OP is about what YOU believe, so let's get back to it.
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?Checkpoint wrote:
The kingdom of God is the reign of God.
In which there is a present aspect and a future one.
