From the book of Proverbs; " those with ears to hear and eyes to see" ----->> Mark 1:15 reads “the kingdom [[of]] God has come near,” Matthew 3:2 has “the kingdom [[of]] heaven has come near” (literally in Greek, “the reign of the heavens,” he basileia ton ouranon, mirroring the Aramaic spoken by Jesus, malkuta’ dishmaha’). Matthew’s phraseology doesn’t mean that the kingdom is literally up in the heavens. Rather, he is using a common circumlocution for God, much as my grandmother did when she said “Good heavens” rather than “Good God.” So, the kingdom of heaven is not the kingdom that exists in heaven, but the reign of God over both heaven and earth. The fact that the kingdom [[of]] God/heaven encompasses this world seems at first glance to be contradicted by something Jesus himself said to Pontius Pilate during his trial: “My kingdom is not of this world” (John 18:36) So where else could it be other then in between ones ears and have the love vision for it?
