Q # 4795931

Question:

I do not understand Matthew 11:11&12. Will John the Baptist be in the Kingdom of Heaven or not? How can the least in the Kingdom of Heaven be greater than John when Jesus said that none born of women was greater than John. Also, referring to verse 12, it sounds like the Kingdom of Heaven has always existed and is existing right now.

Answer:

The ‘Kingdom of Heaven’ is referring to the ‘Kingdom of the Heavens’ when the Heavens will rule over the earth during the 1,000 year reign of Christ. John the Baptist will be there as a resurrected Saint. Everyone in the Kingdom will positionally be greater than John the Baptist was while He was here. He was rejected and killed. Those in the millenium will be honored and revered.
