Whatever did Jesus mean by The Kingdom of God?
How we might say the same thing in contemporary
Can we translate that into modern and post-modern talk?
What are we praying for when we pray 'Thy Kingdom come?'
Let us have a go at these questions:
We talk about a material world and a spiritual world. In our present world-view these are two separate realms.
In the evangelical world view we live in the material world and when we die kind of escape to heaven.
Jesus had a different world view in which the spiritual world intersects with the material world. In his world the spiritual world can easily manifest and dominate. I believe those times were manifestations of what Jesus saw as true all the time.
Those are times when He could have said, "The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand."
