Letter of Theophylact of Ohrid to Alexius Comnenus
Самое же божественное в том, что он сватает их за Бога и вводит их в свое царство и делает частью тамошнего сената, и, отмыв этих �мужей крови� в родниках спасения, превратил их в �чад света� и облек в ризу нетления

government (здесь)
In the Bible God is regarded as the supreme governor of the world and those who execute authority on earth are said to hold it in trust from him (Ps. 72: 1–4; Rom. 13: 1–2; John 19: 11) to ensure that justice is done (1 Kgs. 10: 9). It may be desirable to delegate judicial functions, as Moses did (Exod. 18: 17–23), and it is held that, although Israel was a theocracy rather than a democracy, the people as well as the king shared in the rights and responsibilities of the covenant with God (2 Kgs. 11: 17).

Literally, “kingdom of heaven” means a literal government of heaven over the earth. When the Bible talks about the government of the earth being on the shoulders of Jesus, it means it. Christians who do not understand the literal meaning of “kingdom of heaven” transfer this error to their understanding of the “word of the kingdom”, as explained in the parable of the sower (Matt. 13). The “word of the kingdom” is speaking of the teaching about the coming government of Jesus Christ over the earth. Neither of these phrases is addressing the place called heaven. They are both addressing the coming government of Jesus Christ over the earth, and those Christians who will qualify to reign and rule with Jesus Christ. This misunderstanding of the literal meaning of these two phrases has resulted in millions of Christians having no understanding of the “kingdom of heaven” or the “word of the kingdom”.

I find that very interesting because that is what the Kingdom of Heaven is. The Kingdom of Heaven is a government having Jesus Christ as its king or head.

According to the Bible, it seems pretty clear that heaven is comprised of some kind of government.
