Biblically, the phrase Kingdom of Heaven describes God's dominion in various senses. When Jesus spoke to Judah's leaders or the multitudes, the Kingdom of Heaven referred to the nation founded through Abraham, where God's rulership is evident in the patriarch and his descendants. However, Jesus prophesied in the Parable of the Wicked Vinedressers that the kingdom of God would be taken from Judah's leaders and given to a nation bearing its fruits, referring to the church, which Peter calls a holy nation. In the Parable of the Mustard Seed, the Kingdom's humble beginning with Abraham by faith is depicted as a plant that grows mightily, yet ends with birds, symbolizing satan and demons, nesting in its branches, indicating the spiritually unclean state of the Kingdom at Jesus' time. Conversely, the Parable of the Pearl of Great Price portrays the Kingdom as a singular, precious gem of supreme value and purity, sought and purchased by a merchant, representing Jesus Christ, who sacrificed all to acquire this spiritual nation, the church, valued for its God-given faith. The Parable of the Hidden Treasure further illustrates the church's worth, showing Christ's willingness to purchase the entire world for the small amount of faith hidden within it, emphasizing the collective value of faith in the spiritual nation. Jesus prophesies that this group, the church, will receive the Kingdom, highlighting its preciousness due to the active faith within its members, a faith demonstrated by obedience and deemed worthy by God.
