Deut 32-34 1 Cor 2

When the Israelites entered the Promised Land God was with them but not in them. When God (in Christ) entered the land 2000 years later he is in his people. His spirit filled people no longer conquer using the sword but use his Word to birth a new kingdom of believers, filled with a complete and holy love for God. The difference is that his kingdom grows within existing Nations to change them from the inside thus defeating the dreadful sin of idol worship. His kingdom is not established through force but through a willing acceptance of what is right and holy, and a perfect embodiment of this is through Jesus our Lord and King.
