Strong's Lexicon mamlakuth: Kingdom, reign, sovereignty, dominion Original Word: מַמְלָכוּת Word Origin: Derived from the root מָלַךְ (malak), meaning "to reign" or "to be king." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G932 (βασιλεία, basileia): Kingdom, reign, rule - G935 (βασιλεύς, basileus): King Usage: The term "mamlakuth" primarily refers to a kingdom or realm over which a king rules. It encompasses the idea of sovereignty, dominion, and the authority of a king. In the Hebrew Bible, it is often used to describe both earthly kingdoms and the divine kingdom of God. The word conveys the concept of organized rule and governance, whether human or divine. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of a kingdom was central to the nation's identity. The Israelites initially had a theocratic system under judges, but later transitioned to a monarchy with Saul, David, and Solomon as notable kings. The idea of God's kingdom was also significant, reflecting God's ultimate authority and rule over all creation. The term "mamlakuth" would have resonated with the Israelites' understanding of both their national identity and their spiritual relationship with God.
