King and His Kingdom Now: An Influential Subject for Every Believer in the 21st Century and Beyond.:

The Kingdom of God is an oft-debated subject today, in the church as well as in the world, but the discussion has tended to produce more confusion than clarity. What is the nature of the Kingdom and the manner of its arrival? Is it a natural kingdom to be realized by human effort alone? Or is it a spiritual Kingdom that established by God's power and authority alone? In this insightful book, Robert Munien brings clarity and light to the Kingdom discussion by closely examining what the Bible says about the nature and character of the Kingdom of God. He reveals that God's Kingdom possesses the same characteristic elements of earthly kingdoms but of a divine, universal, and eternal quality:

1. A King, Jesus Christ

2. A Territory-endless in extent: He rules everywhere.

3. Subjects people under his rule and authority, in this case, all of humanity

4. A Manifesto-the governing principle(s) of the Kingdom, in this case, love

5. An Economy-based in this case on the principle of generosity and reciprocity

Dr. Munien also sheds light on the location of the Kingdom: not a heavenly abode to which we escape through the "rapture." but a Kingdom that comes down to join together the new heaven and the new earth.
