Episode 229: The Kingdom of God & the Kingdom of Heaven

Hermeneutics
Written By The Postscript Show

In the King James Bible, a unique distinction is made that isn’t clearly found in any other English versions of the Bible. It is a difference in terms that has a serious impact on the way we understand the New Testament. It also comes to influence our understanding of our very mission as Christians, our view of prophecy, and our eschatological outlook. 

What is this major discrepancy that is often misunderstood? Well, it’s the terms “Kingdom of God” and “Kingdom of Heaven”. These two similar phrases have two categorically unique impacts on our understanding of the gospels and the narrative of scripture. Come to find out, these two kingdoms differ in their presence, their primary audience and their nature. Defining these terms helps us to rightly divide the Word of God.

Today we are honored to be joined by LFBI instructor Greg Axe, pastor at Crest Bible Church and author of The Kingdom of God &. The Kingdom of Heaven, to discuss the differences in these two concepts and what they mean to our theology.
