Why did Jesus say that His Kingdom is not of this world? If God created this Earth, why did He say that this world was not His? In my opinion, when God created this Earth with everything in it for his children Adam and Eve, He handed the Authority over the Earth over to them. Adam and Eve lived with absolute Authority over what was done on this Earth. Adam was even the one who named all the animals what they were to be called and even named the 'woman' formed from his rib, 'woman,' the word we use today. Everything was under the Authority of Adam and Eve. However, when Jesus said that His Kingdom is not of this world, He stated a fact. He, God, was no longer the Absolute Authority of this Earth at that time. You see, God is fair. God is a fair God. He doesn't take what isn't His, He doesn't demand, He doesn't do anything that is unfair. When Adam and Eve were in the garden of Eden, everything was under their Authority and God was also in Authority. Fair, right? Well, when the snake, the serpent, 'tricked' Eve into handing over her Authority to himself, and when Adam partook of that 'trickery,' or the handing over of the authority, God still played fair. What the devil 'tricked' Eve and Adam into handing over to him was the Authority over this Earth. If the devil never had tricked Eve, God, Adam and Eve would STILL be in Authority over this Earth, but since the authority was tricked from them, the authority is now in the possession of the devil. However, God still plays fair by allowing the Authority 'rights', per se to be in contractual rules. Whoever has the Authority 'papers' , so to say, has Authority. God does not negate the Authority 'papers' but honors it. That is why there is this world as we know it today. The Authority, once held by Adam and Eve, is now in the possession of the devil. What the devil desires to become will become, either they be nations, or wars, or peace,.... etc... It is the devil that formed this world into what it is today. There were no buildings, no skyscrapers, no television, no internet, etc... back then. All we see today in the world came becasue of the devil having the Authority 'papers' over the earth. That is why Jesus says that His Kingdom in not of this world. Jesus didnt' created the buildings, nor the skyscrapers, nor the elevators, etc.... All that we see were made and fashioned and thought up of by the devil, hence, this world is now the 'devil's thoughts and desires on earth. So what is my point? God is interested, now days, in where we are going to live upon exiting this earth. God is interested in whether we are going to spend it with Him or to spend it apart from Him. God is not too interested in where we are going to travel to next year, or what brand of clothing or shoes we are going to buy, etc... He is more interested in knowing who is going to spend 'eternity' with Him so that He can prepare for those who are going to choose to be with Him. In God's house there are many mansions. God is preparing those mansions but needs to know and wants to know how many mansions to build. He does not want unnessary, unvacated mansions in His Kingdom. Jesus said, His Kingdom does not belong to this world. This world is the devil's because of the 'trickery' he did to Eve. God honors the Authority 'papers'. Now God is counting and building the mansions for those who are going to be with Him. As there is time on Earth, there will be time for mansions to be built by God in Heaven. When time runs out on earth, mansions cannot be built. "There is still room at the cross."
