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.

Ephesians 2:1-3 NLT
Once you (we) were dead because of your (our) disobedience, and your (our) many sins.
You used to live in sin just like the rest of the world, obeying the devil-that commander of the unseen world. He is the spirit at work in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God.
All of us used to live that way, following the passionate desires and inclinations of our sinful nature. By our very nature we were subject to God's anger, just like everyone else.
