I am taking the title request literally - one primary difference is that you just don't say 'realm of heaven' in Christian/English contexts. As to whether that is an accurate/as close to on-to-one translation as possible, it's a bit late in the game. Whoever first started using 'kingdom' (Tynsdale? KJV?) made a choice and that's that. | |

| Oct 11, 2017 at 12:49 | comment | added | Mitch | Whether in print or online, dictionaries are more for reminding readers of a meaning, that is for recognition, rather than for creating a vocabulary usage out of thin air. They don't attempt to distinguish synonyms. | |
