A quote from the op I borrowed the links from:
links...his exposition on Kingdom, as well as his critiques of amillennialism (e.g., having a static and neo-platonic view of heaven and kingdom) were pretty good.

I'm not sure what you're asking. Sorry.
You need to elaborate more with your posts. They are often vague and we don't often know where you're going, though it seems for the most part that you do have a direction in mind.I'm not sure what you're asking. Sorry.

Although I have not yet time to listen, I will make this observation:
Not all amillenialists believe the kingdom is limited to God's present 'spiritual' rule in the heart or some similar nonsense.
The kingdom of God is comprehensive; it involves every aspect of redemption including that of the material creation. Any preterist, amillenialist, or postmillenialist that limits the kingdom to a 'spiritual' rule is way off the mark. However, the fact that such interpreters are out there does not settle the issue of eschatology at all. I have also known premillenialists that taught the final kingdom (after the chiliastic 'millennium') to be one of a nonmaterial pure spirit existence. Professor Murray Harris (Trinity Evangelical Divinity School) sure got his hooks into a lot of theology students to make them think this way and his poison (in spite of his ultimate censure) is still spreading in the seminaries and churches of our land like wildfire.
I just heard an Easter sermon this year from a premillenialist who taught that the PRIMARY meaning/reality of the resurrection was not the glorified spirit/body in the New Earth but the present resurrection of the heart from death to life!
Now see here how sleepy-headed all our opponents are, and how little it helps a man to rely on the ancient fathers, for all their repute down the course of the ages! Were they not all equally blind to, yes, and heeldess of, Paul's clearest and and plainest words?
--Martin Luther
Nahhh, no direction in mind with this post, it's just an FYI post. The 'Kingdom' is a good topic and the speaker does a good job at presenting a view somewhere between [presbyterianism] covenantal and dispey theology.
Peace.
