The goal of the Gospel of the kingdom (Matt 4:23) is this: "thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." Which is to say the establishment of a God-fearing civilization upon the earth (Matt 28:18-20; Acts 17:30), one in which lawlessness is overthrown and obedience to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords is established. Then the end shall come (Psalm 110; 1 Cor. 15:24-25).
