Kingdom Of God
Avoid 天下 (‘all under heaven’, the classical unified-earthly-realm concept) and 王朝 (‘dynasty’). Given Hong Kong’s distinct political history and present sensitivities around sovereignty and political loyalty language, teaching materials should keep ‘kingdom of God’ clearly framed as God’s spiritual reign, not an earthly political program, to avoid unintended political readings in either direction.
