Description

Jesus said that the kingdom of God is within you. The kingdom of God is within the harmonious society and temperament as the prehistoric, the early, the modern, and the postmodern kingdom of God. In the Prehistoric Period, the prehistoric kingdom of God was the Garden of Eden that was the prehistoric harmonious hunter-gatherer society based on the harmonious temperament that exists only in humans. In the Early Period starting from the Neolithic Revolution, the early transitional kingdom of God was the moral religion as Judaism where God was the high ruler. The moral religion maintained high morality in the immoral civilized society. Jesus Christ initiated the early kingdom of God through the sacrifice and the resurrection. It was manifested in the early church based on the harmonious society and temperament. The decline of the kingdom of God later resulted from the conversion of the church to the state religion. In the Modern Period starting from the Renaissance for the Modern Revolution, the decline of the state religion resulted in the modern kingdom of God in the three-branch Unified Society consisting of the collective civilized society, the individualistic civilized society, and the harmonious society for collective wellbeing, individualistic achievement, and harmonious connection, respectively. The typical example of the Unified Society is America that has the collective political party, the individualistic political party, and the modern kingdom of God separated from the state. In the Postmodern Period starting from the global mass telecommunication for the Postmodern Revolution, the global perspective involves the whole human race on earth, so the postmodern kingdom of God is the human kingdom of God on earth.
