That is a lot to think about, and at the moment I don’t have the time to do so.

However, I want to state a few things about 2KT.

I am not a fan of some modern forms of 2KT. You might call that R2KT (Radical Two Kingdom Theology).
R2KT is partly responsible for how many Churches responded during Covid.

The government told the Church they must shut their doors, until further notice. Allowing video Church and small meetings, obeying government health rules.
In Canada, several pastors spent time in jail, for not complying with government orders. They were vindicated in court, when their cases were finally held.

Despite that, many prominent pastors and theologians condemned them, for not “loving their neighbours.”
In the USA, the government was not as bad. But, Grace Community Church (the Church John MacArthur pastored), was taken to court quite a few times by Governor Newsom. Grace Community Church won all their cases.
As a result those who held to RTKT such as ‘The Gospel Coalition’, condemned John MacArthur. Saying he likely destroyed over 50 years of ministry by doing that.

I do however hold to the 2KT, held by the Protestant Reformers. I believe Samuel Waldron articulated this view in one of his books; as well as his sermon series on Romans chapter 13.
