When you hear the word “KINGDOM”, what comes to your mind? Movies you’ve seen or perhaps the world-famous Disney castle? Maybe, if you are alert to global nations you think of the United Arab Emirates, or Saudi Arabia, or did you know Cambodia is considered a kingdom and so is Thailand and Tibet and even Nepal? Would you agree that a “kingdom” is a place and a people over which a Monarch or a Sovereign reigns?
