The Kingdom of Heaven and the Kingdom of God

Luke 9:1-6 He called His twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases. And He sent them to preach (proclaim) the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick. He said to them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staff, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece. Whatever house you enter into, there abide, and thence depart. And whoever will not receive you, when you go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.
Jesus gave the disciple both "power and authority over devils and diseases", whereas we have been given only the power (right or privilege, Matthew 10:40, John 1:12, Colossians 2:6) to become sons of God which is not the same. To assume something not given is sin and there are many who proclaim this error just as there are many who assume and proclaim the earthly, material things as given to the heirs of Abraham and Isaac through Jacob or Israel. Jesus in and during His teaching has established a pattern of one laying a solid foundation and then like a master builder building upon that foundation. This is also the pattern of the workings of God the Father and the Holy Spirit because they are after all in one accord. So if we look at the word authority with its definition we find this when using Webster's 1828 Dictionary: the authority of age or example, which is submitted to or respected, in some measure, as a law, or rule of action (the kingdom of heaven and of God). That which is claimed in justification or support of opinions and measures. In Government; the persons or the body exercising power or command; as the local authorities of the states. From the command use of authority we find this; the power to command, determine influence, or judgment and the source of definitive information. 

So the word power is part of the whole of the word authority and now we will also look at the word power from the same source: first we find it to mean to exercise, or exert force. In a philosophical sense, the faculty of doing or performing any thing; the faculty of moving or of producing a change in something; ability or strength. A man raises his hand by his own power, or by power moves another body. The exertion of power proceeds from the will, and in strictness, no being destitute of will or intelligence, can exert power. Power in man is active or speculative. Active power is that which moves the body; speculative power is that by which we see, judge, remember, or in general, by which we think. Power may exist without exertion. We have power to speak when we are silent. A sovereign, whether emperor, king or governing prince or the legislature of a state; as the powers of Europe; the great powers; the smaller powers. In this sense, the state or nation governed seems to be included in the word power. Great Britain is a great naval power. One invested with authority; a ruler; a civil magistrate as found in Romans 13. Divinity; a celestial or invisible being or agent supposed to have dominion over some part of creation; as celestial powers; the powers of darkness. Of angels, good or bad, Satan is said to have the power of death, as he introduced sin (rebellion), the cause of death, temporal and eternal, and torments men with the feat of death and future misery, Colossians 1, Ephesians 6. Christ is called the power of God, because through Him and His Gospel, God displays His Power and Authority in ransoming and saving sinners, 1 Corinthians 1.

In the last line of the above we find both Redemption (power) and the Salvation (authority), where Salvation is the governing influence (preservation from destruction, danger or great calamity) housing power or Redemption within it. Appropriately in theology, the redemption of man from the bondage of sin and liability to eternal death (being the continued separation, “the feat of death and future misery” from God), and the conferring on him everlasting happiness. This is the great salvation. Godly sorrow works repentance to salvation, 2 Corinthians 7. Deliverance from enemies; victory, Exodus 14 where Pharaoh and Egypt are symbols of all that is of the world or earthy (self-rule) and mans Religion. Remission of sins, or saving graces, Luke 19. The author of man's salvation, Psalm 27.

Luke 9:10-11, 12-17, 18-20, 21-27, 57-62 And the apostles, when they were returned, told Him all that they had done. And He took them, and went aside privately into a desert place belonging to the city called Bethsaida. And the people, when they knew it, they followed Him: and He received them, and spoke to them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing. 

When the day began to wear away, then came the twelve, and said to Him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the towns and country round about, and lodge, and get victuals: for we are here in a desert place. But He said to them, Give you them to eat. They said, We have no more but five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy meat for all this people. For they were about five thousand men. And He said to His disciples, Make them sit down by fifties in a company. And they did so, and made them all sit down. Then He took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, He blessed them, and brake, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude. And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets. (parallel passages Matthew 14:13-21, Mark 6:30-44, John 6:1-14)

It came to pass, as He was alone praying, His disciples were with Him: and He asked them, saying, Whom say the people that I am? They said, John the Baptist; but some, Elias; and others one of the old prophets is risen again. He said to them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said, The Christ of God. (parallel passage Matthew 16:13-19, Mark 8:27-29)

He straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell no man that thing; Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day. He said to all, If any will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me. For whoever will save his life shall lose it: but whoever will lose (give up) his (self ) life for My sake, the same shall save it. For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away? For whoever shall be ashamed of Me and of My words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when He shall come in His own glory, and in His Father's, and of the holy angels. I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God. (parallel passages Matthew 16:20-28, Mark 8:30-9:1, herein is a warning hidden)

It came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain man said to Him, Lord, I will follow You wherever You go. Jesus said to him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man has no where to lay His head. He said to another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. Jesus said to him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go and preach the kingdom of God. Another also said, Lord, I will follow You; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house. Jesus said to him, No man, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.(parallel passage Matthew 8:19-22)
