===Jehovah's Witnesses===

[[Jehovah's Witnesses]] teach that God's Kingdom refers to more than merely a state of mind or heart. [[The Kingdom of God]] as taught by [[Jehovah's Witnesses]], is an actual Kingdom, or government set up by Jehovah in Heaven, that will rule over the Earth after removing all current Kingdoms or Governments at [[Armageddon]], which they teach as the meaining of Bible verses such as ({{bibleverse||Daniel|2:44|ESV}}). [[Jehovah's Witnesses]] teach that [[Jesus]] Christ is the [[King]] of this [[Kingdom]] and as such has had all authority in heaven and on earth delegated to him by his God and Father [[Jehovah]] which they teach is what [[Jesus]] meant at ({{bibleverse||Matthew|28:18|ESV}}). They teach that only [[Jehovah]] [[God]] himself has more authority then [[Jesus]] Christ and they draw this belife from [[Bible]] verses such as (1 Corinthians 15:27-28)

[[The Kingdom of God]], to [[Jehovah's Witnesses]], is made up of 144,000 other Kings which belive are numbered at ({{bibleverse||Revelation|7:4|ESV}}) and also at ({{bibleverse||Revelation|14:1|NIV}}) as ''Spiritual Israel'' and that these rule with [[Jesus]], but under his direct control, and are the only humans that will take part in a very special resurrection known as the ''First Resurrection'', of which those raised cannot die, as they are raised as spirit creatures and ascend to Heaven to rule as Kings. They base this belief on thier interpretation of Bible verses such as ({{bibleverse||Revelatio|20:4-5|ESV}}). [[Jehovah's Witnesses]] believe that God's Kingdom began ruling in the year 1914, which they arrive at by using what is termed as ''Reliable Bible Chronology''.<ref>"What Does the Bible ''Really '' Teach" pp. 215-218 '1914—A Significant Year in Bible Prophecy'</ref>

[[Jehovah's Witnesses]] believe that since 1914 the world has seen the most destructive Wars, diseases, food shortages and natural disasters over any other period in human history because [[Satan]] the [[Devil]] was thrown from [[Heaven]] to the Earth in that year.<ref>"What Does the Bible ''Really '' Teach" pp. 215-218 '1914—A Significant Year in Bible Prophecy'</ref> They believe that this made [[Satan]] very angry and since then "Woe" has been on the earth.<ref>[http://www.watchtower.org/e/20051001/article_02.htm "Do You Recognize the Sign of Jesus' Presence?"]</ref> They use ({{bibleverse||Revelation|12:7-8,12|ESV}}) to support this, as well as teach that Satans being cast to the Earth is the reason for the ''Great Tribulation'' spoken of by Jesus and the Prophet Daniel in the Bible at  ({{bibleverse||Daniel|12:1|ESV}}) and also ({{bibleverse||Matthew|22:21-22|ESV}}).

[[Jehovah's Witnesses]] teach that the sons of [[Israel]], or biological Jews, were initially given the exclusive privilege of being the only people selected to rule as Kings in [[The Kingdom of God]], which they teach is the meaning of ({{bibleverse||Exodus|19:5-6|ESV}}), but that they lost this privilege by breaking Gods covenant and killing the [[Messiah]] upon his arrival which they teach as the meaning of [[Jesus]] words at ({{bibleverse||Matthew|8:12|ESV}}). They teach that gentiles, or Non-Jewish people, are now being chosen to fill those same Kingly positions as ''Spiritual Israel'' Via the ''New covenant'' which they teach is the meaning of  ({{bibleverse||Romans|9:6|ESV}}), and not biological Israel via the ''Law Covenant''. [[Jehovah's Witnesses]] also support this belief with scriptures such as ({{bibleverse||Matthew|21:43|ESV}}) and also ({{bibleverse||Luke|20:9-19|ESV}}).

During this thousand year reign, they teach that all righteous and unrighteous humans will be resurrected from the dead in perfect human bodies. [[Jehovah's Witnesses]] teach that this is the "Second Resurrection", and only occurs during total Kingdom rule. They teach that these ones ''can'' die again if their deeds, during the thousand years, are not in line with Gods rule, which they teach is John's meaning at ({{bibleverse||Revelation|20:13|ESV}}).
