The world has had a fair trial for six thousand years; the Lord will try the seventh thousand Himself. (Joseph Smith, TPJS, p. 252)

If the Kingdom of God is so important that Jesus said, “Seek ye first the Kingdom,” then it must be essential for us to understand what it is in order to identify its organization, purpose and blessings. We need to realize that the Kingdom is not just a heavenly place, an attitude, a philosophy or a peaceful feeling. John Taylor gives us a better idea of the power of this Kingdom:

The same power that governs in the heavens, that rules and regulates the planetary system, that causes seed-time and harvest, day and night, summer and winter, and all the regular changes of the heavenly bodies in their proper succession,–this same intelligence is required to govern the world, produce order out of chaos, and bring back that same state of things which has been forfeited in consequence of the transgressions of man,–to restore correct government, legitimate rule and dominion, true religion, morals, and science, and every other correct principle; for there is no good or perfect gift that does not proceed from God, in regard to religion, government, mechanism, or science. (JD 7:324)
