A kingdom is an area ruled by a monarch of some kind.
Alternatively, a kingdom is an allegorical understanding of Heaven and the world of God - the Kingdom of Heaven. Early Christian writers made many comparisons between the Kingdom of Heaven and the Kingdom of Earth. St. Augustine of Hippo, in his City of God, noted that, despite the ephemeral nature of the kingdoms of men, the Kingdom of Heaven would endure forever in the minds of the believers, and in Heaven, and after the return of Jesus Christ to earth.
