Jesus tells us to pray to our heavenly Father "Your kingdom come" (Matthew 6:10). He also tells us to "seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness" (verse 33). What is the Kingdom of God that it should be our highest priority in life? Is it simply a new or different administrative system directed by faithful servants of God? Or does it exceed our previous concepts of what a kingdom is?
The apostle Paul went right to the heart of the matter by explaining that "flesh and blood"-physical human beings-"cannot inherit the kingdom of God" (1 Corinthians 15:50). The Kingdom of God is the family of immortal beings -God and all His children. Those whom God adds to His family will inherit and oversee "all things" God has created (Revelation 21:7).
Speaking of this destiny of man, the book of Hebrews tells us: "For in that He [God the Father] put all in subjection under him [man], He left nothing that is not put under him. But now we do not yet see all things put under him" (Hebrews 2:8). Revelation 21-22 describes the time when "all things" will be under those who enter the Kingdom of God.
