A Tale Of Two Kingdoms -With Sandy Simpson

There are two kingdoms being taught in many churches today. Teaching about one of the kingdoms is on the decline while the other is being promoted all over the place. I am warning Christians that they need to check out who is using the word "kingdom", the books they have been reading and recommend on building "the kingdom", the people they have been hanging out with at conferences, and what they mean by "the kingdom".

Be careful of those who teach about a "kingdom" that is not the same as what the Bible teaches.
The reason for the opening photo of hands bestowing a key is to make the point of this article on two Kingdoms. The apostles were given the "keys to the kingdom of heaven" not the keys to the earthly physical kingdom of Christ at the second coming.

[Matthew 16:19] I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.

These keys are giving the apostles and, finally, the leadership of the churches, the authority to preach the Gospel and of church administration. It is up to the Church to decide who to preach the Gospel to, thus binding people to heaven and, conversely, who to loose or disfellowship in the churches due to sin, false teaching, false prophecy, etc. It is not giving the Church the ability or authority to take dominion over the governments, businesses, and every aspect of life, thus establishing the physical kingdom on earth. It is about establishing the kingdom of heaven in the hearts of men preparing them for the Kingdom to come.
