βασιλείαν
basileía
kingdom
Dominion or sovereignty exercised by a ruler (typically a king); also, the realm or sphere over which such authority is exercised. In different contexts, can refer to (1) the supreme authority or royal power (kingship), (2) the geographical territory or political entity ruled by a king (kingdom, realm), or (3) a domain, order, or realm of influence, whether earthly or transcendent. In religious contexts, often used to designate the domain or dynamic reign of God, but context determines whether the emphasis is on the authority, the process of ruling, or the spatial/political entity.
