亦稱“天國”（Kingdom of Heaven） 基督教用語，上帝以王者身分統治或最後實現上帝對世界之意志的神靈國度。上帝之國一詞常用於《新約》，也是施洗者聖約翰與耶穌佈道過程的中心主題。對於耶穌意指王國隨祂而來或被預期爲未來事件，神學家們持不同意見。如今，基督教正統派堅持：王國藉着世界上教會的出現而部分實現，而最後審判之後將會完全實現。 In Christianity, the spiritual realm over which God reigns as king, or the eventual fulfillment of God's will on earth. The term is often used in the New Testament, and it was a central theme in the preaching of John the Baptist and Jesus. Theologians differ as to whether Jesus implied that the kingdom had arrived in his person or whether it was expected as a future event. Christian orthodoxy now holds that the kingdom has been partially realized by the presence of the church in the world, and that it will be fully realized after the Last Judgment.
