    Some Christians say God exists outside of time and space so that should suppose God and the Kingdom of Heaven exists at a point where time and space does not exist.

    A black hole is a point where time and space is non-existent and there is usually a black hole at the center of every galaxy.

    Not in this world. Somewhere else. Unseen.

    God’s Kingdom is a real government established by Jehovah God. “The kingdom of God” is also called “the kingdom of heaven” in the Bible, since it rules from heaven. (Mark 1:14, 15; Matthew 4:17King James Version) It shares many attributes of human governments, yet it is superior to them in every way.

    • Rulers. God has appointed Jesus Christ as King of the Kingdom and has given him more authority than any human ruler could ever have. (Matthew 28:18) Jesus uses this power only for good, since he has already proved to be a reliable and compassionate Leader. (Matthew 4:23; Mark 1:40, 41; 6:31-34; Luke 7:11-17) Under God’s direction, Jesus has selected persons from all nations who will “rule as kings over the earth” with him in heaven.—Revelation 5:9, 10.

    • Duration. Unlike human governments, which come and go, God’s Kingdom “will never be brought to ruin.”—Daniel 2:44.

    • Subjects. Anyone who does what God requires can be a subject of God’s Kingdom, without regard for ancestry or birthplace.—Acts 10:34, 35.

    • Laws. The laws (or commandments) of God’s Kingdom do more than just prohibit wrong behavior. They raise the moral character of its subjects. For example, the Bible says: “‘You must love Jehovah your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul and with your whole mind.’ This is the greatest and first commandment. The second, like it, is this, ‘You must love your neighbor as yourself.’” (Matthew 22:37-39) Love of God and neighbor moves subjects of the Kingdom to act in the best interests of others.

    • Education. While God’s Kingdom sets high standards for its subjects, it also teaches people how to meet those standards.—Isaiah 48:17, 18.

    • Mission. The Kingdom of God doesn’t enrich its rulers at the expense of its subjects. Instead, it will accomplish God’s will, including the promise that those who love him will live forever on a paradise earth.—Isaiah 35:1, 5, 6; Matthew 6:10; Revelation 21:1-4.

    If Michael the arch angel is Jesus, then it is Michael who God has truly appointed as King of the Kingdom and has been given more authority than any human ruler could ever have, and is seated at the right hand of God.

    Hello Baba. People that believe it is just within you or just in your heart get that from the King James rendering of Luke 17:21. Jesus was talking to the Pharisees who were scheming to have Jesus killed. If the Kingdom was in their heart, we are all in trouble. Consider the answer by Sharer501 to get a more balanced view as to what the Bible teaches about the Kingdom.

    Luke 17:20-21 (KJV) And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: 21Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

    Luke 17:21 (NASB) nor will they say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or, ‘There it is!’ For behold, the kingdom of God is [fn]in your midst.”

    Is God’s Kingdom in Your Heart?

    The kingdom of God originates in the heavens, with Jesus Christ as the reigning king.
