Not Literally
For eons, scripture has been used by those in power to force those not in power to obey and to maintain the privilege of some over others.
When Jesus spoke the Gospel, the good news, he defined it as the Kingdom of Heaven being at hand, meaning right here, very near, and coming soon. Will we help Kingdom come, or will we remain at cross purposes with God, one another, and God's coming Kingdom? Thy will, be done, Lord, on earth as it is in the Kingdom of Heaven.
