The ultimate Kingdom that will last is God’s Kingdom. This Kingdom is eternal! It is the Kingdom that can never be destroyed by anything or anyone, not even by all the demonic and human powers combined. At Christ’s return, this Kingdom collides with all sinful human power and will crush it. That is an encouraging perspective for God’s people in exile and it is also the prospect for those who want to live in deep loyalty to Christ today, even when this may entail persecution. This speaks about the eternal Kingdom of which the angel Gabriel says to Mary at the announcement of Christ’s birth, He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his Kingdom there will be no end.
Luke 1:32–33.
44 And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that shall never be destroyed, nor shall the kingdom be left to another people. It shall break in pieces all these kingdoms and bring them to an end, and it shall stand forever,
