The purpose of the kingly metaphor is that it points us beyond ourselves to the limitless mystery of God; The Kingdom is not an escape from earth but a lifelong embracing of it.

Literal and Literary Biblical Interpretation
There is a long tradition in the English Speaking world of viewing The AV Bible as great literature which contrasts with a requirement that it be understood literally. The accounts of Solomon and a baby and one of Peter's trials can be read at many levels. We should compare a theory of theological stasis with Newman's organic model.

Self satisfaction with a God we have tamed requires radical measures.
Added: 25th September 2017

Reformation Protestantism tended to be dualist which accounts for it stance on the relative importance of incarnation, Crucifixion, Resurrection and Eucharist.
