"Kingdom Come" checks in on the domestic home-front spectrum, African American style, somewhere between a chitlin-circuit gross-out (the flatulent minister is a bit much) and Eugene O'Neill.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Kingdom of God
In that vision the power of ruling over all the forces of evil as symbolized by the four beasts which are the four kingdoms is given to "one like the son of man".
In the New Testament the speedy advent of this kingdom is the one theme: "Do penance: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand", said the Baptist, and Christ's opening words to the people do but repeat that message.
At every stage in His teaching the advent of this kingdom, its various aspects, its precise meaning, the way in which it is to be attained, form the staple of His discourses, so much so that His discourse is called "the gospel of the kingdom".

 Thy Kingdom Come   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The tension between the present and the future aspects of the kingdom of God is described by Reformed theologians as the tension between the 'already,' that is, the present aspects of the kingdom of God, and the 'not-yet,' of the future aspects of that same kingdom.
It should come as no surprise that a Christian's particular view of end­times and the return of our Lord Jesus Christ will have a dramatic effect upon how they understand the relationship between the present reality of the kingdom of God and their own involvement in the world around them.
Thus, this kingdom cannot be seen as a geo-political or national entity (such as the nation-state of Israel, or even our own America), nor as a material one such as a place or building, nor as a particular ministry or denomination.

Writer Mark Waid, coming from his popular work on Flash and Impulse, and artist Alex Ross, who broke new ground with the beautifully painted Marvels, join together for this explosive book that takes place in a dark alternate future of the DC Superhero Universe.
The main story of "Kingdom Come" is an ages old struggle between generations that improves on the theme in several ways, but what really makes "Kingdom Come" stand out is the intricate details and subplots that Waid and Ross weave into the story and art.
Perhaps the greatest moment in "Kingdom Come," and maybe all of comics, is the fight between Superman and Captain Marvel (Shazam) toward the end of the story.

Charisse (Jada Pinkett Smith), an energetic, permanently stressed woman, is convinced her husband, the unemployed Junior (Anthony Anderson), is sleeping around.

Above all, where Kingdom Come succeeds is by adding new depths of humanity to some of DC's timeless characters--including icons like Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman--as well as offering interesting future glimpses of the lesser known (but no less interesting) likes of Orion, Blue Beetle and Aquaman.
"Kingdom Come" was an instant fanboy classic, redefining Superman and Batman simply by making them some of the only characters who stuck to their morals...something a hero should always do anyway.
Of course Ross' art complements the story beautifully; his visions of the DC heroes are amongst the best ever done, and with Kingdom Come he cements his position as one of the greatest comic artists ever.

 Greater Emmanuel International - Morning Star Ministries
Today when we pray "Lord, your Kingdom come" - Matthew 6:10, we are not praying any longer for the kingdom to come, because Jesus said when He cast out devils, He did so by the finger of God and that the kingdom had come.
But Jesus corrects them by saying that the kingdom does not come by observation or by what you can see, but that the kingdom is in their midst or within.
I believe that as long as we keep putting the coming of Christ and the coming of the kingdom off in the future somewhere, we are missing what Jesus was saying.

 SPLICEDwire | "Kingdom Come" review (2001)
But what makes "Kingdom Come" so very entertaining is its carefully constructed cavalcade of crafty humorous asides and outright outrageous moments of screwball comedy.
Lots of hearty giggles come from the smallest details, like the funeral minister's lisp or the very brief shot of the hearse after it's been TP-ed by Smith and Anderson's uncontrollable children.
Adapted from the play "Dearly Departed" by its original writers David Bottrell and Jessie Jones, "Kingdom Come" is a movie of nuances that I can't do justice to without describing entire scenes or spoiling jokes that out of context just won't make you laugh out loud like they will in the picture.

 KINGDOM COME - A Time magazine feature story on the Mormons
What he means, although he won't come out and say it, is that although the grain might be broken out in case of a truly bad recession, its root purpose is as a reserve to tide people over in the tough days just before the Second Coming.
It was in the 1950s, says historian Jan Shipps, that the Mormons went from being "vilified" to being "venerated," and their combination of family orientation, clean-cut optimism, honesty and pleasant aggressiveness seems increasingly in demand.
During the dark years, church members understand that it is their destiny to sustain a light to help usher in the kingdom to come.

 The SF Site Featured Review: Kingdom Come
Kingdom Come was no ordinary comic book series.
In fact, I've come to the reluctant conclusion that the audio drama format is probably not well-suited to a work with the scope and breadth of Kingdom Come.
Unfortunately, Kingdom Come -- as thoughtful a piece of writing as it is -- was originally conceived for the visual medium of comics.

 Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will be Done...
We deplore the constant flood of sensational "end of the world" prophecy books which only rehash the already familiar, hype up the uncertain news of recent world news, and warm-over old Bible predictions that seem to have never taken place as promised.
The test of a prophet in the Old Testament was that all of his predictions must come true 100%, or else he was a false prophet and could be stoned to death.

The most momentous event in the history of mankind is the establishment of God's Kingdom on the earth.
Any, therefore, who have themselves uttered those profoundly significant words, "Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven..." must be gripped by the most avid interest in the events leading to the fulfillment of this prayer.
In addition, Thy Kingdom Come examines the testimony of God's silent stone witness...the Great Pyramid of Gizeh, revealing its harmonious confirmation of the accuracy of Bible chronology and time prophecies.

 The SF Site Featured Review: Kingdom Come
Told from the perspective of an ordinary man watching the birth of the superhero in the Marvel Comics fictional universe, Marvels was a literary, artistic and commercial success.
Kingdom Come was initially perceived as the direct antithesis of Marvels.
Where the latter explored the naïve, primary-coloured origins of Marvel's superhumans, Kingdom Come explores the possible future gotterdamerung of their DC counterparts.

 Thy Kingdom Come: A Blumhardt Reader (Eller)
The publishers, of course, have now come down to one and the translators to four or five of us; but along the way, a whole host of well-wishers and moral supporters did their bit to keep the obsession alive.
Particularly is this so when we learn that, in Germany, Thurneysen's 1926 volume is circulating in a new edition; the 1887 biography of the elder Blumhardt has gone through at least twenty printings and is still available; the collected works of both Blumhardts are still in the bookstores.
At a point when Blumhardt’s prayer and the girl's trouble were at a pitch, Gottlieben's sister (who had recently come under demonic attack herself) in a strange voice suddenly uttered the cry, "Jesus Is Victor!" --and it was all over.

 The Friday Review: Kingdom Come
The template for what KINGDOM COME is trying to be (that final DC story, that ending to the larger narrative) seems so clear, so obvious, that it comes as a disappointment when you realize that Waid and Ross are not exactly going to end the story.
That caveat aside, KINGDOM come remains an accomplished read for those who like their superhero tales on the grander side.
