Welcome to season eleven Aramaic Word of the day: Malkutha — Kingdom

As your guide through the streets of Jerusalem, I don’t just point out ruins. Show only churches and archeological sites. I help people to remember the world Yeshua walked, the language He spoke, and the Kingdom He proclaimed.

And today, I want to walk you into one of His most powerful words:

Malkutha — Kingdom.

In Aramaic, Malkutha doesn’t just mean a realm or a place. It’s the reign of Goaad made visible not in walls or palaces, but in the way we live, love, and listen.

When Yeshua stood on the Mount of Olives, just behind me, looking toward the Temple, He wasn’t dreaming of taking back political control. He wasn’t interested in a crown of gold.He was revealing a different kind of kingdom one that starts within you, not on top of the mountain.

Again when I guide pilgrims from the West specially on the mount of olives and when i speak about the kingdom of God and the temple mount and his reign, I often see this difference unfold before my eyes.

The Western mind wants structure. It wants to define the Kingdom where is it? Who’s in charge? What’s the system? It thinks like Rome: build it, measure it, enforce it.

But here in the East in the Semitic world of the Bible we don’t define the Kingdom, we experience it.

I have questions from the pilgrims from the West: “Where is the Kingdom?”In Jerusalem: “Who is the King and is He welcome at your table?” They want answers Now they want to understand and have fact.

Also in the West: “What are the boundaries?”In the East: “What is the relationship?”

Then i answer them from scripture

That’s why in Luke 17:21, Yeshua says:

"The Kingdom of God does not come with observation... behold, the Kingdom of God is within you."

He was speaking like a Galilean rabbi, not a Greek philosopher.He was drawing from the well of intimacy, not institution.

Then i give them this example

As a guide, my life is not about showing people pretty views, it is about bearing witness to the Kingdom in action. When I walk the Via Dolorosa with guests. When I lead prayers in the Garden of Gethsemane. When I share bread with strangers at the Damascus Gate.

That’s Malkutha the Kingdom becoming flesh again in us.

It’s not something we wait for. It’s something we live. And we either reveal it or resist it by how we treat the poor, the enemy, the orphan, and yes, the tourist too.

So today, my friend, whisper the word: Malkutha. Let it roll gently from your tongue like olive oil from a press.

And ask yourself:

“Is the King just a belief in my head? Or is He reigning through my hospitality, my forgiveness, my courage, my joy?”

Here in Jerusalem, we don’t ask where is the Kingdom? We ask: Are you letting it break in, like light through an ancient window? from your home from your heart.

Yeshua’s kingdom is not far it is as close as your next act of love. it is inside you, you do not need to search for it outside or in Jerusalem or in the temple or in any place. It is you! i pray that you are encouraged today and the Aramaic word of the day touched your heart.
