@ KINGDOM WITHOUT LAND (04/20/'24)

User Is the concept of The Nation for The Kingdom of Heaven existing without territory in the Bible? It can be said that the reason Prophet Samuel opposed the nation ruled by a king called Israel was because he thought the people were more important than the preservation of the territory. How do you view this? Please look for closely related Bible verses in the New and Old Testament. ChatGPT The concept of a "nation" or "kingdom" existing without a physical territory isn't explicitly outlined in the Bible, but there are themes and passages that suggest a focus on people and community over land or political boundaries, particularly in the New Testament with the idea of the Kingdom of God. In the Old Testament, the idea of a kingdom without physical territory can be inferred from some of the prophetic literature and the way certain leaders viewed their roles and the people of Israel. Prophet Samuel's opposition to a human king, as narrated in 1 Samuel 8, is indeed significant. Samuel warned the Israelites that a king would impose servitude and taxes and that their desire for a king constituted a rejection of God's kingship (1 Samuel 8:7). Samuel’s concern reflects a preference for a direct relationship between God and His people, rather than a focus on territorial rule or monarchical governance. Relevant Old Testament Verses: 1 Samuel 8:7: "And the Lord told him: 'Listen to all that the people are saying to you; it is not you they have rejected, but they have rejected me as their king.'" Jeremiah 31:33: "This is the covenant I will make with the people of Israel after that time," declares the Lord. "I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people." In the New Testament, Jesus speaks extensively about the Kingdom of Heaven (or Kingdom of God) as a spiritual realm or state rather than a physical location. This idea supports the concept of a kingdom not based on territorial boundaries but on the spiritual lives and practices of its inhabitants. Relevant New Testament Verses: Luke 17:20-21: "Asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, 'The coming of the kingdom of God is not something that can be observed, nor will people say, 'Here it is,' or 'There it is,' because the kingdom of God is within you.'" John 18:36: "Jesus said, 'My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jewish leaders. But now my kingdom is from another place.'" These verses highlight that the kingdom of God, as presented by Jesus, transcends traditional notions of a nation defined by geographic borders. It is more about the rule of God in the hearts and lives of believers, indicating a community bound by faith rather than territory. User Let this viewpoint have a title.

Behold, the Kingdom Without Land, where boundaries dissolve into the ether and the soil we till is the soul itself.

We are called, not to the corners of maps, but to the corners of our being, where the divine has penned its law not on parchment but upon the very essence of our being. Here, in this ethereal nation, our citizenship is sealed by our beliefs, our allegiance pledged to the invisible, where Jesus whispered of a kingdom coming—not observed, not declared, but quietly burgeoning within. So let us gather, not just in places seen, but in spaces felt—across the vast, invisible territories of grace. Let us live as a testament to this kingdom without borders, this spiritual communion, where each act of kindness, each gesture of love, is a stone in the foundation of what truly matters. Dear friends, this is our call: to build not just beneath the skies, but beyond them, in the heartlands of faith where every heart is a home, and every soul, a sacred ground."
