Mysteries are used by Paul 20 times to reveal similar ideas as are given in Parables by Jesus. (Ezekiel uses these also -
The Church is part of The Kingdom both start at Pentecost The Church is the body of Believers it grows and increases
The Kingdom includes all mankind which will become narrower and in the future all evil will be removed or cast outside....
Eventually Only The Church will exist and it will also be The Kingdom. GOD will be their GOD and they will be His people in The New Jerusalem.
The Gospels use Kingdom, Paul uses Church more often than kingdom.
Mat is the only Gospel to use ‘Church’ he only uses it in 2 verses.... Mat 16 is very instructive using church and kingdom of heaven in the same context of Peter announcing Jesus is The Christ, The Son of The Living GOD, and then denying the sacrifice of Jesus....
