WHAT

GOD’S KINGDOM IS

God’s Kingdom is a government established by Jehovah God with a King chosen by God. Who is the King of God’s Kingdom? Jesus Christ. Jesus as King is greater than all human rulers and is called "the King of those who rule as kings and Lord of those who rule as lords." (1 Timothy 6:15) He has the power to do far more good than any human ruler, even the best among them.
From where will God’s Kingdom rule? Well, where is Jesus? he was put to death on a torture stake, and then he was resurrected. Shortly thereafter, he ascended to heaven. (Acts 2:33) So that is where God’s Kingdom is—in heaven. That is why the Bible calls it a "heavenly kingdom." (2 Timothy 4:18) Although God’s Kingdom is in heaven, it will rule over the earth.—Revelation 11:15.
What makes Jesus an outstanding King? For one thing, he will never die. Comparing Jesus with human kings, the Bible calls him "the one alone having immortality, who dwells in unapproachable light." (1 Timothy 6:16) This means that all the good that Jesus does will last. And he will do great and good things.

For there has been a child born to us, there has been a son given to us; and the princely rule will come to be upon his shoulder. And his name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. To the abundance of the princely rule and to peace there will be no end, upon the throne of David and upon his kingdom in order to establish it firmly and to sustain it by means of justice and by means of righteousness, from now on and to time indefinite. The very zeal of Jehovah of armies will do this. ISAIAH 9;6-7 now this is the sort of ruler that we all need, the prince of peace and justice. he is a mighty devine one, and he is Jesus . and he has been given aurthority from his father Jehovah Daniel 7;13-14 and the kingdom is now well established inline with bible prophecy and chronology Daniel 2;44 and its all happening in these the last days . and it is very good .

What

will God’s Kingdom accomplish?

Sanctify

Jehovah’s name and uphold his sovereignty

Matt. 6:9, 10: "You must pray, then, this way: ‘Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified. Let your kingdom come.’" (Here the sanctifying of God’s name is closely associated with the coming of his Kingdom.)

Ezek. 38:23: "I shall certainly magnify myself and sanctify myself and make myself known before the eyes of many nations; and they will have to know that I am Jehovah." (God’s name will be cleansed of all reproach; it will be treated as holy and deserving of respect, and all who live will be persons who willingly uphold Jehovah’s sovereignty, delighting to do his will. Upon such sanctification of Jehovah’s name the peace and well-being of all the universe depend.)

no he was speaking of the heavenly kingdom daniel 2;44
And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin. And the kingdom itself will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite daniel 2;44 ............and it is very good .
Jesus’ disciples understood the Kingdom to be an actual government of God, though they did not comprehend the reach of its domain.

Jesus christ as king of Gods kingdom, has been granted the ability and the right to exercise power universally matthew 28; 18 .he will bring the earths ecology to perfect balance, he also has mastery over sickness and disease. The powerful works Jesus performed on earth were forgleams of even grander blessings to come under his rule as a perfect and trustworthy king. that is why the kingdom goverment inspires hope. what qualities of this messianic king especially appeal to you? for me it is because he is approachable, reasonable and impartial, responsible and unselfish, righteous and just, thoughtful and considerate,and humble. ......... nice..... that is just the sort of ruler that is needed . and soon Gods kingdom will go into action Daniel 2;44 . then it will be able to do all of these things in the right way with no opposition . Because Jesus will have stood up and gone into action . that will be a very good time for those who are on the side of Gods heavenly kingdom goverment. i have put my vote in for this heavenly kingdom goverment and for the one with the legal right to the kingship. now is the time to put myself on the side of the only goverment that will bring peace to the earth.
God’s Kingdom will bring peace to all its obedient subjects. (Psalm 37:11, 29; 46:8, 9) Even sorrow, pain, and death will be no more. What a glorious prospect for those who remain free of the mark of the beast!—Revelation 21:3, 4.

How does this Heavenly Kingdom go with the verse "the Kingdom of Heaven is within you"?

Is

God’s Kingdom a real government?

Or

is it, instead, a condition in the hearts of men?

Luke 17:21, KJ: "Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you [also TEV, Dy; but "among you," KJ margin, NE, JB; "in the midst of you," RS; "in your midst," NW]." (Notice that, as shown by verse 20, Jesus was speaking to the Pharisees, whom he also denounced as hypocrites, so he could not have meant that the Kingdom was in their hearts. But the Kingdom as represented by Christ was in their midst. Thus The Emphatic Diaglott reads: "God’s royal majesty is among you.")
