John 3:12-13 If I have spoken to you about earthly things and you don’t believe them, how could you believe if I tell you about things in the Heavenly realm? 13 NO ONE HAS GONE UP TO HEAVEN EXCEPT THE ONE WHO CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN, THE SON OF MAN WHO IS IN HEAVEN. [4].—Yeshua (Jesus)—The Gabriel Version
Precisely Where is the Kingdom of the Heavens from?
Genesis 17:7-8 I’ll establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you, thruout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be your Elohim and the Elohim of your descendants after you. 8 I’ll give you and your descendants after you the land where you are living, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession. I’ll be their Elohim.

He’ll teach us His path to life, and we’ll ‘live’ His way.” The Torah will go out from Zion, and the Word of Yehovah from Jerusalem.

He will be named Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty Elohim, Eternal Father, Peaceful Leader. 7 Of the increase of His dominion and prosperity there will be no end, from David’s throne and over His kingdom, arranging it and maintaining it, with justice and righteousness from that time on—forever. The zeal of the Word* of Yehovah the Commander will make it happen.

Isaiah 45:17-18 Israel will be liberated by Yehovah with an everlasting liberation. You won’t be ashamed or humiliated for ages everlasting. 18 This is what Yehovah says who created/transformed the universe, the Elohim who originally created the earth and put it in order, who established it, and didn’t create it as a desolate wasteland, who formed it to be inhabitedI am Yehovah, and there is no other.
Isaiah 49:6-7 He asks, “It is too small of a thing for you to be My servant to reestablish the tribes of Jacob, and to bring back the Israelites who were ‘spared?’ I’ll make You a light to the nations, so that you can bring My message of deliverance to the remotest parts of the earth.” 7 This is what Yehovah says, the Redeemer of Israel, and ‘their’ Kadosh One, to the One who man despises, to the One who the nation abhors, to the Servant of rulers: Kings will see You and rise, and leaders will bow down, because of Yehovah who is faithful, the Kadosh One of Israel, who has chosen You.
Isaiah 49:22-23 The Sovereign Yehovah says: I’ll 'wave' My hand in a summoning gesture to the nations. They’ll bring your sons in their ‘arms’, and your daughters will be carried on their shoulders. 23 Kings will be your foster fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers, they’ll bow down to you with their faces to the ground, and lick the dust at your feet, and you’ll know that I am Yehovah. Those who anticipate My arrival won’t be disappointed.
Isaiah 55:5 You’ll summon nations You don’t know, and nations that didn’t know You will come running to You, because of Yehovah Your Elohim, the Kadosh One of Israel, since He has honored You.
Isaiah 60:3-6 Nations will come to your light, and kings will come to the brightness of your rising. 4 ‘Take a look’ all around. They all gather together, they come to you. Your sons will come from ‘distant lands’, and your daughters will be carried in their arms. 5 Then you’ll look around and be radiant, and you’ll be ‘overcome with joy’, because the wealth of the seas will be brought to you, and the wealth of the nations will come to you. 6 Vast caravans of camels will cover your land, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah. All the people from Sheba will come bringing gold and frankincense and proclaiming the praises of Yehovah.
Isaiah 60:9-14 Surely the coastlands will wait for Me, and the ships of Tarshish will arive first, bringing your sons from ‘distant lands’, along with their silver and their gold, for the ‘honor’ of Yehovah your Elohim, and for the Kadosh One of Israel, because He has clothed you with splendor. 10 Foreigners will rebuild your walls, and their kings will serve you. I struck you in anger, but in My reconciliation I have had mercy on thee. 11 Your gates will always be open, they’ll never be shut, day or night, so people can bring you the wealth of the nations, with their kings being led in procession. 12 Any nation and kingdom that won’t serve you will be destroyed; those nations will be completely wasted. 13 The splendor of Lebanon will come to you: fir trees, pines, and cypresses, to beautify the place of My Temple, and I’ll make the place of My feet splendid. 14 The descendants of those who oppressed you will come bowing to you, and everyone who despised you will bow down at your feet, and they’ll call you “The City of Yehovah” and “The Zion of the Kadosh One of Israel”.
Isaiah 60:19-21 The sun will no longer be your light during the day, nor will the brightness of the moon shine on you, because Yehovah will your everlasting light, and your Elohim your splendor. 20 Your sun will never set again, and will your moon will no longer wane, because you will have Yehovah as your everlasting light, and your days of mourning will be over. 21 Your people will all be righteous, they’ll inherit the land forever, a shoot that I planted, the work of My hands, to bring about My splendor.
Isaiah 65:17-21 I’m going to create a New Heavens and a New Earth, and the previous ones won’t be remembered, or come to mind! 18 Be glad and rejoice forever in what I’m going to create, because I’m creating Jerusalem for rejoicing, and her people a joy. 19 I’ll celebrate in Jerusalem, and take delight in My people, and there will no longer be heard in her the sound of weeping and crying. 20 Never again will there be an infant who lives for only a few days, or an old man who hasn’t lived out his days. A son who only lives to be a hundred years old would die young, because a family member who dies at one hundred years of age would be cursed. 21 They’ll build houses to live in, and eat fruit from the vineyards they plant.
Isaiah 66:22-23 As the New Heavens and the New Earth that I’ll make will endure in My presence”, declares Yehovah, “So also will your descendants and your name endure. 23 In the future, from one new moon to the next new moon, and from one Sabbath to the next Sabbath, all of humanity will come to worship before Me”, declares Yehovah.

They and their children and their grandchildren, forever, and My servant David will be their leader forever, for eternity. [Both 05704: “as long” as “time” & 05956: for eternity]. 26 I’ll make a [New] Covenant of peace with them. It will be an Everlasting Covenant with them, and I’ll establish them, and increase their numbers, and set My Kadosh Place among them forever. 27 My home [tabernacle] will also be with them. I’ll be their Elohim, and they’ll be My people.
Daniel 2:44-45 During the ‘reign’ of those king [Barne’s], the Elohim of Heaven will set up a Kingdom that will never be destroyed. It’s sovereignty will never be given to other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms. But it will be established forever. 45 This is the stone you saw cut from the mountain without human hands. It crushed the iron, bronze, clay, silver and the gold. The great Elohim has revealed to the king what will happen in the future. The dream is true, and its interpretation certain.”

Micah 4:7 and I’ll make those who were lame survivors, and those who were exiles to become a strong nation, and Yehovah will reign over them on Mount Zion now and forever.
Zephaniah 3:9-10 Then I’ll purify and polish the people’s ‘language’, so that everyone can call on the name of Yehovah, to serve Him shoulder to shoulder. 10 From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia, My worshipers, My dispersed people, will bring My offerings.

I myself am going.” 22 Yes, many people and strong nations will come wanting to see Yehovah the Commander in Jerusalem, and pray to Yehovah in person. 23 This is what Yehovah the Commander says: In those days, ten men from every language and nation will take hold of the ‘tzitzits’ [“tassels”] of one Jew, and say, “We’ll go with you, because we’ve heard that Elohim is with you.
Zechariah 14:9 & 16 Yehovah will be King over all the earth.

Luke 1:33 He’ll rule over the descendants of Jacob forever in His Everlasting Kingdom”..
Luke 11:2 Yeshua told them, “When you pray say, ‘Father in Heaven, may Your name be kept kadosh, may Your Kingdom come. May Your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.

Revelation 3:12 I’ll make anyone who is victorious a pillar in the Temple of Yehovah, and they’ll never be separated from the assembly, and I’ll write Yehovah’s name on them, and the name of New Jerusalem that descends from the heavens from my Yehovah, and My own new name.
Revelation 10:7 When the time comes for the seventh messenger to blow his shofar, the mystery of Yehovah will be finished, just as He announced to His servants the prophets.
Revelation 12:10 I heard a ‘loud’ voice from the sky say, “Now there is eternal Life and power, and the Kingdom of our Yehovah, and the dominion of His Messiah, because the Accuser of our Friends who accused them day and night before our Aloha has been thrown down.
Revelation 15:4 Who won’t fear you Master, and praise Your name, since You alone are kadosh and just. Every nation will come and worship in Your presence, because Your righteous acts have been revealed.”
Revelation 19:6 Then I heard what ‘sounded like’ a huge gathering of ordinary people, a ‘sound’ reminiscent of raging water and a voice like ‘booming’ thunder shouting, “Hallelujah! Our Master Yehovah the Sovereign reigns.
Revelation 20:4 I saw thrones, and those who were seated on them, and judicial authority was given to them, and I saw the bodies of those who were beheaded for THE TESTIMONY OF YESHUA [the ‘NT’] and for THE WORD OF ALOHA [the ‘OT’]. These are the ones who hadn’t worshiped the predatory beast or his icon, nor had they accepted his mark on their forehead or on their hand. They lived and reigned with their Messiah during those thousand years.
Revelation 21:1-3 I saw a new heaven and a New Earth, because the first heaven and the first earth had gone [1], and there was no more sea [2]. 2 I saw the kadosh city, the New Jerusalem, coming down out of Heaven from Yehovah, like a bride adorned for her husband [for the Marriage of the Lamb]. 3 I heard a loud voice from the sky say, “Look, Yehovah’s tabernacle [dwelling place] is among humanity [Gr. anthropos]. He will live with them and they’ll be His people, and Yehovah will be with them, yes Yehovah Himself will be with them.”
[1] This is the equivalent of the new earth that appeared after Yehovah sent a great flood “to destroy the earth” in Genesis 9:11.
[2] This has to be figurative, because the seas are well represented in the Everlasting Kingdom: Psalm 72:7-9; Isaiah 5:30; Isaiah 24:14-15; Isaiah 60:5; Jeremiah 31:35-36; Ezekiel 26:5 and 47:10,15; Habakkuk 2:14; Zephaniah 2:6-7; and Zechariah 14:8. Unfortunately many people believe that the New Heavens and New Earth don’t even arrive until after the thousand years! (See the time frame in Isaiah chapters 65 & 66.)
