Bible Verses About The Kingdom of God

“The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.”

The fifteen verses below are the Bible's direct address to that situation, shown in full KJV text from Psalms 103:19 to James 2:5.

Quick answer: The best-known verse about the kingdom of god here is Psalms 103:19: "The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all."

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best Bible verse about the kingdom of god?
Psalms 103:19 is the one most readers land on: "The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all." Psalms 145:12 is the usual second: "To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of his kingdom." The full list of fifteen is on this page — there is no single required verse, and different seasons call for different texts.
Where do these verses come from, and are they reliable?
Every verse on this site is rendered from public-domain source texts — the King James Version (1611) and the World English Bible — stored on this site and verified verse-by-verse when the data was built. Nothing is paraphrased or hand-typed. The references are exact, and both translations can be compared on every card.
Where in the Bible does it talk about the kingdom of god?
The verses on this page come from 8 books of the Bible — most notably Psalms, Daniel, Matthew and 5 more — spanning both Old and New Testaments. The distribution itself is worth noticing: Scripture addresses the kingdom of god in more than one voice, which is why the page shows whole verses rather than a single proof text.
