Kingdom Of God
‘Malchut Shamayim’ (Kingdom of Heaven) is a genuine Rabbinic category (recited with the Shema as ‘accepting the yoke of the kingdom of heaven’) but denotes present submission to the commandments, not the NT’s inaugurated-through-Messiah redemptive-historical reign. Also distinguish from Jewish national/political sovereignty expectations tied to the Land.
