What would God's kingdom on earth mean to you? or heaven on earth?

The kingdom of God is not a physical place or reality, but a spiritual presence. So "kingdom on Earth" is a bit of an idea that goes nowhere. God's kingdom is the reign of God in one's heart and life—God's rule over a committed person who has willfully submitted to Him.

I believe the Book of Revelation would disagree with you there.

Perhaps I need clarification, but I didn't perceive that the OP was referring to eternal Heaven in the post. It came across more like "God's kingdom on Earth now," or "Heaven on Earth now." If I was wrong, I stand corrected. If I was right, then Revelation has no particular comment to make on my answer.

That's fair.

I had not considered a very present tense reading of OP.

I stand down :lol:
