Hi Karen,
In determining in what sense the Kingdom was "near"(NW),Jesus' words to certain Pharisees may be noted,namely,that"the kingdom of God is in your midst"(Lu.17:21;NW).Since "kingdom(basilei'a)"can refer to the "royal diginity",it is evident that Jesus meant that he,God's royal representative,the one anointed by God for the kingship,was in their midst.Not only was he present in this capacity but he also had authority to perform works manifesting God's kingly power and to prepare candidates for positions within his coming kingdom rule.This "nearness"of the kingdom,was a time of tremendous opportunity.

God's Kingdom is a real government which has Jesus as it's king ("the government will be upon his shoulder"). Because Jesus was among them, they had it "at hand" or very near to them. Remember that Jesus prayed, "Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth...." God will answer this prayer and the government will clean up the earth of all wickedness, abyss Satan and his demons and anyone who has refused to know God or obey the good news about his son, Jesus Christ. The time to repent and turn around was then and continues until now.

it relatively is the Gospel of the forged information - and it relatively is interior of attain in case you comprehend the thank you to do it (See II Corin 12:a million-4). the dominion of God is something which would be experienced and could be accomplished all by skill of your self. You circulate approximately searching for it by skill of gaining awareness of the thank you to get right of entry to and then get right of entry to it. it relatively is got here across by diligent prepare and doing it. Why it relatively is to be sought is quite a few reasons: a million. Heaven/Kingdoms is something which could merely make experience to you in case you adventure it your self. 2. once you have experienced it, there is not any longer something to evaluate. 3. it relatively is far less complicated to stay in compliance with Holy regulation by skill of understanding what it relatively isn't any longer what it relatively isn't any longer. The appeal of stable issues comes from the certainty and Obedience to Holy regulation in no way 'perception' and 'faith'. in actuality, 'perception' and 'faith' are the VERY issues retaining human beings faraway from Holy and Righteous certainty! The training on the thank you to do it are in the Anointed, The choose, and The Damned!
