eternal kingdom

Domain without end

A realm or dominion believed to exist forever, especially in religious contexts referring to heaven or God's sovereignty: The righteous shall inherit the eternal kingdom.

The phrase appears in Christian scripture and theology to describe a divine realm beyond earthly time and decay.

Figuratively, it can describe any legacy or domain imagined as permanent: He built what he thought was an eternal kingdom, but it crumbled within a generation.
