Strong's Lexicon malakuth: Kingdom, reign, sovereignty Original Word: מַלְאֲכוּת Word Origin: Derived from the root מֶלֶךְ (melek), meaning "king" or "ruler." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G932 (βασιλεία, basileia): Often used in the New Testament to refer to the Kingdom of God or the Kingdom of Heaven. Usage: The term "malakuth" primarily refers to the concept of a kingdom or the realm over which a king exercises authority. It encompasses the idea of royal dominion, governance, and the exercise of sovereign power. In the Hebrew Bible, "malakuth" is often used to describe both earthly kingdoms and the divine kingdom of God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of a kingdom was central to the nation's identity and governance. The Israelites initially had a theocratic system, with God as their king, but later transitioned to a monarchy with human kings, starting with Saul. The idea of God's kingdom, however, remained a significant theological theme, representing God's ultimate authority and rule over all creation. This concept was especially important during times of exile and oppression, as it provided hope for divine intervention and restoration.
