The kingdom of Jesus Christ was brought into existence in the First Century A. D.

I want to first off thank Anna for giving me an opportunity to defend my point and for the sport of this discussion, being my first debate on this site I ask for the patience of my peers here to be lenient on my response formats as I won't make it as pretty as Anna now let's begin. First Anna I do consider myself a premillenial student due to the prophecies stated in the old and new testament. However you must question then understand what is a kingdom? Is it a physical or heavenly manifestation? Your argument brings valid points but you are missing several clues as to what rings true. In the OT psalms 22:28 it states he is the governor of all nations and all the kingdoms are his. My first question is why would the OT speak of him ruling or reigning if he hasn't arrived yet? Perhaps one could make the argument that his kingdom began when the earth and all its inhabitants were created in 6 days(6000 years). He began to reign/rule. Yet deception crept in the garden to deceive eve and Adam institute sin and destroy the life we had. In a sense his kingdom began then because he did rule all. My argument is detailed but quite simple let me show you then I will answer your questions. Let's start in Rev 3:12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name. Now what new Jerusalem is being referred to here? One that came out of heaven? I know the son of man came down from heaven but not the kingdom yet. In Rev 11:15 it states: And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. Now the seven trump has not yet been blown or it would nullify the prophecy. Rev 19:11-16: And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND Lord OF LORDS This has not yet come to pass as we are still living in earth under sin Rev 21:1-5: And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful Do people still die? In this kingdom referenced no. Peter and Paul made a good reference to fulfilling the law here as well as speaking into the second coming and the new kingdom in the following scriptures: Romans 13:10-12 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light Who was sent to teach us the love of salvation and hope of everlasting life? 1 cor 15:21-26 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death I ask you again is death destroyed? 1 thes 4:13-18 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words Has this come to pass? Are we still on earth? Tit 2:13-14 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. Who's appearing? Heb 11:13-16 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country. And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned. But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city. He prepared a city for who? 2 pet 3:8-13 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. Do you understand yet? It hasn't 2000 years to him but 2 days. John 18:36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence. Translation: If this was his heavenly kingdom he would not allow himself to be taken. You see it is very simple the kingdom must come so his will can be done(eliminating sin and death) on earth as it is in heaven(Perfection, no satan, total dominion established). So his rule is here but so is sin. The keys that were given you mentioned were not keys to unlock a physical literal door to the kingdom no. They were the keys to salvation the knowledge of salvation. Do you think Jesus walked around with a spare set of keys saying here guys this is the key set to my house come and go as you please but let no one else in? No that's silly. The kingdom is where you are confused. Your question on eggys? Matt 4:17 mentions no eggys in the kjv I await your reply.
