Where Is The Kingdom of God?

"He answered them and said, 'The kingdom of God is not coming with signs to be observed; nor will they say, "Look, here it is!" or, "There it is!" For behold, the kingdom of God is in your midst'" (Luke 17:20b–21).As He consistently did in His confrontations with the Pharisees, Jesus dismantled their misconceptions. The present form of the kingdom of God is not coming with signs to be observed, He told them. Their constant seeking after signs was therefore misguided, based on a misunderstanding of the nature of the spiritual kingdom. There are no visible signs of the coming of that aspect of the kingdom that would lead people to say, “Look, here it is!” or, “There it is!”; its coming will not be heralded by visible spectacles. . . .
