View source for Mary announced the Jewish salvation

Notice the prophecies addressed to Mary, the Jewish girl:

He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. (Luke 1:32,33)

"And of his kingdom [singular] there shall be no end."

Some claim the Lord Jesus will rule over a Jewish kingdom on earth, and a Gentile kingdom in Heaven in the spirit realm. We believe there is no such concept in the Scripture. The two-kingdom notion is pure human conjecture, totally unscriptural, totally illogical, and serves only to destroy our understanding of the one Kingdom of God.

Let the individual who holds such a view find one instance in God’s Word that speaks of two kingdoms. The argument that the Gospels speak of a Kingdom of Heaven, and then of a different Kingdom of God, is proven false by the fact that the Lord Jesus in Matthew applied His parables to the Kingdom of Heaven and in the other Gospel accounts applied the same parables to the Kingdom of God.

The Kingdom of God is at hand, that is, the Kingdom that comes from Heaven. There is only one Kingdom of God. The Kingdom of God is destined to come down from Heaven and to be set up on the new earth and governed by the new Jerusalem, the holy city, the Bride of the Lamb, the glorified Church of Christ.

He has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy; As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever. (Luke 1:54,55)

Any unbiased interpreter of the above passages would consider the Gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven to be addressed primarily to the nation of Israel.
