b'The Kingdom:\\nWhen Bible commentators speak of the Kingdom of Heaven and the Kingdom of God they usually group the two together and conclude that they are simply different names for the same, identical kingdoms. Matthew chooses to use Kingdom of Heaven and Luke, for example, likes the phrase Kingdom of God. But they are both talking about the same thing. Nothing could be further from the truth! The Kingdom of Heaven and the Kingdom of God are not the same. One is the all-encompassing reality of all that God creates outside Himself and the other is a literal Kingdom where Jesus will rule on earth for 1,000 years from Jerusalem. "So what does this have to do with me?" you ask. Oh, much. Very much. Keep listening to find out.'
