Strong's Lexicon malkuth: Kingdom, reign, sovereignty, dominion Original Word: מַלְכוּת Word Origin: Derived from the root word מֶלֶךְ (melek), meaning "king." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G932 - βασιλεία (basileia): Refers to kingdom, reign, or rule, often used in the New Testament to describe the Kingdom of God or the Kingdom of Heaven. Usage: The term "malkuth" primarily refers to the concept of a kingdom or reign. It encompasses the idea of royal authority, dominion, and the sphere of a king's rule. In the Hebrew Bible, "malkuth" is often used to describe both earthly kingdoms and the divine kingdom of God. It signifies not only the physical territory ruled by a king but also the authority and governance exercised by the king. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of "malkuth" was deeply intertwined with the theocratic understanding of God's sovereignty. The Israelites viewed God as their ultimate king, and earthly kings were seen as His representatives. The idea of God's kingdom was central to Jewish eschatology, with the expectation that God would establish His reign over all nations. This concept was further developed in the intertestamental period and became a significant theme in the teachings of Jesus in the New Testament.
