I’ve heard that and believed that all my life up until recently.
The dissonance for me lately has been the idea that we’re exhorted to pray that His kingdom come on earth 🌎 as it is in heaven, but in our eschatology we fundamentally discount the significance of the world 🌎 because it will be dispensed with and heaven should be the real aim.
It just feels like we’re talking with both sides of our mouth.
I’m not a Utopianist.
I’m just suggesting that we may not be conceptualizing our relationship with the (physical) world appropriately.
