God foreordained to send us a redeemer when adam lost his dominion (kingdom) on earth. Gen 1.26 . He promised through the law and the prophets that he will send this Messiah to redeem mankind. So when he came the (Government (lost kingdom) was upon his shoulders)
Luke 16:16 English Standard Version (ESV)
16 “The Law and the Prophets were until John; since then the good news of the kingdom of God is preached, and everyone forces his way into it.
43 But he replied, “I must preach the Good News of the Kingdom of God in other towns, too, because that is why I was sent.”
On judgement day when you stand before god the father you will not be judged according to the law or the letters of paul. But by the words/message/grace of jesus.
John 12:44-50 English Standard Version (ESV)
Jesus Came to Save the World
44 And Jesus cried out and said, “Whoever believes in me, believes not in me but in him who sent me. 45 And whoever sees me sees him who sent me. 46 I have come into the world as light, so that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness. 47 If anyone hears my words and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world. 48 The one who rejects me and does not receive my words has a judge; the word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day. 49 For I have not spoken on my own authority, but the Father who sent me has himself given me a commandment—what to say and what to speak. 50 And I know that his commandment is eternal life. What I say, therefore, I say as the Father has told me.”

Thank you brother this correct. But we must remember that the kingdom with all its power is hear now. Praise be to God. And that kingdom is inside of you working mightily. Its not coming it is here now. that is the good news.
John 4:23 But the hour is coming (future kingdom), and is now here (present), when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him.

Does the Bible tell us this, specifically. If so, please tell us where it does.
Finally, I'll ask you the question(s) I have been asking you since I started posting in this thread one last time (questions that you have steadfastly refused to answer for some reason??). Here they are again:
1. Are the words penned by St. Paul, as well those penned by the other human authors of the Bible, the breathed words of God or not?
2. And if they are His breathed words, it what way/ways do you understand them to be less valuable than the words He spoke to us while He was living among us (IOW, the words we often see in red in our Bibles, penned by Matthew, Mark, Luke &/or John)?

It makes no difference whether we read the words of Christ, or Peter, or Paul. But here is what Jesus said, and it cannot get any simpler:
Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? (John 11:25,26).

Following the arrest of His cousin, the Lord came to the people in Galilee preaching the Gospel of God. He told them:
the time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.
"Repent" -AND- "believe in the Gospel". The meaning of "repent" is obvious enough, but (just for clarity's sake) when the Lord also commanded the Galileans to "believe in the Gospel", what, specifically, do you believe He was telling them to do? IOW, what is the "good news" that Jesus commands the Galileans to believe in? (that the Kingdom of God is now here and working within them?)
Thanks!

The absolute truth within the revelations of Jesus Christ as pertains to redemption and eternal irrevocable salvation.
Found in the first four books of the New Testament and which are often referred to as the Synoptic, for Synonymous, Gospels. The four books reflect similar wisdom as pertains to the birth of Christ, his earthly purpose in bringing the Gospel to the world, and his death and resurrection. That so as to show his followers that life in the flesh shall pass. But our glorified self, our saved soul, lives eternal in that the soul raises from the dead flesh and returns to the Father, God.

In what way is the kingdom inside of us, and how is it "working mightily" in us? By "the kingdom", do you actually mean God the HS?
Thanks!

p.s. - you mentioned that God the Father would be the One sitting on the Great White Throne, but the Bible appears to say that it will be God the Son who will be sitting there instead .. e.g Acts 10:42; 2 Timothy 4:1-2.

You are right when you say that Christ is not ruling the nations, but he has given the "church" the Mandate to "Occupy until I come.
Luke 19-
11 And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.
12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.
14 But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.

If you don't have ears to hear. you are lost.
2 Corinthians 4:3-12 King James Version (KJV)
3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

John 48 The one who rejects me (jesus christ) and does not receive my words (kingdom message) has a judge; the word that I have spoken (all the words written in red) will judge him on the last day.
Luke 8:12 King James Version (KJV)
12 Those by the way side(lost) are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word/seed/message of the kingdom out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.
To him who has ears to hear let him hear.

2 Timothy 3:16-17 English Standard Version (ESV)
16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the man of God[a] may be complete, equipped for every good work.
1 Think the above scripture gives you the answer for question 1.
All the commentators on the Gospel (Paul/James/Jude/John etc) was commissioned by Jesus to go and preach the same gospel. grace is a synonym for the gospel, there is only one gospel. And that is the gospel of the kingdom which saves you.

Well if you want an opinion from a mere woman,
I would say the gospel, the good news, can be found in the entire
bible from start to finish. It’s God’s story (His story) of God’s redemptive
plan to reconcile mankind to Himself.
Although narrow is the way that leads to the kingdom of God and broad is
the way that leads to destruction.
While we were sinners Christ died for us.
