| The Kingdom of God (Greek: βασιλεία τοῦ θεοῦ, Basileia tou Theou[1]) or Kingdom of Heaven (Hebrew: מלכות השמים, Malkuth haShamayim; Greek: Βασιλεία τῶν Ουρανῶν, Basileia tōn Ouranōn) is a foundational concept in the Abrahamic religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The term "Kingdom of God" is found in all four canonical gospels and in the Pauline epistles. The Gospel of Matthew uses the phrase "Kingdom of Heaven" more often, perhaps to avoid offending Jews in the early church[2] or perhaps simply a translation of the rabbinical expression "Malkut Shamayim"[3]. The term is also found in various writing styles such as parable, beatitude, prayer, miracle story and aphorism.[4] Dodge A/C compressorshand dryers | |
