    DefinitionShort: the action of ruling as a king, with the implication of complete authority and the possibility of being able to pass on the right to rule to one’s son or near kin
    Glosses: ['rule', 'reign']
    Comments: It is generally a serious mistake to translate the phrase ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ θεοῦ ‘the kingdom of God’ as referring to a particular area in which God rules. The meaning of this phrase in the NT involves not a particular place or special period of time but the fact of ruling. An expression such as ‘to enter the kingdom of God’ thus does not refer to ‘going to heaven’ but should be understood as ‘accepting God’s rule’ or ‘welcoming God to rule over.’

    DefinitionShort: an area or district ruled by a king
    Glosses: kingdom
    Comments: Since in many areas of the world kingship is not known (that is to say, the succession of rulers within a family and by inheritance), it may not be possible to find a technical term meaning ‘kingdom.’ Usually, however, one may employ an expression which is roughly equivalent in meaning to ‘domain,’ so that, for example, the last part of {S:04100602300030} may be rendered as ‘up to a half of the region which I rule.’
