Biblical Understanding based on the Record of Scripture
The phrase "the kingdom of God" and its twin the "kingdom of heaven" is used 100 times in the New testament. Who's Kingdom is it anyways? And does the phrase always refer to a single thing? Or does it have more than one utility? We look at one application of the phrase, and humanity's response to it becoming a reality.

Hebrews 12:3-5 NKJV
For consider Him, who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls.
You have not yet resisted to bloodshed (torture or death), striving against sin.
And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as sons: My son, do not despise the chastening of the LORD (Father), nor be discouraged when you are rebuked (corrected) by Him:
For whom the LORD (Father) loves He chastens (disciplines) and scourges every son He receives.
