Thank you for this video. I think the right interpretation is: the kingdom of God is within you. Jesus changed hearts from within. He showed that if we acted properly, we could manifest the kingdom internally and therefore, influence our outer reality: our family, our friends, our communities, and eventually, the world.
I used to believe this, then I actually read the Bible. Jesus' message has nothing to do with 'manifesting our desired reality'. In reality, this world is fallen, and we look to Him and the word of God for guidance. Here are more of Jesus' own words on the kingdom of heaven : “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was thrown into the sea and gathered fish of every kind. When it was full, men drew it ashore and sat down and sorted the good into containers but threw away the bad. So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come out and separate the evil from the righteous and throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth." - Matthew 13:47-50.
You’re still operating from a works-based “if we can act properly” understanding - a very new age interpretation that puts you in the driver’s seat instead of Christ.
The kingdom of God is not primarily a noun, meaning place or people. It is a verb, meaning God's way of interacting with creation. It is the act of God being King. The signs and wonders 'are' the Kingdom! Matt 10;7,8 In the life of Jesus we can see the kingdom in action. Matt 12;28. When it comes to the kingdom of God, scripture is referring to the overthrow of satan's work and God's active intervention in the lives of his people. Matt 4:23. The Kingdom of God has power to overthrough the rule of satan in this world. Praise be to God. Amen
Yup. Also check this out. So the devil has altered our time line. The second coming of Christ is already,. This is after the fall of Rome,. After Rome fell Christ came back, that's why you see all these crazy Victorian houses huge mental institutions that are crazy built and we don't know how or who built these way back in the day. They are all over the world. And if you noticed every war we go in they go and destroy these buildings.... That was Jesus Kingdom on Earth, he lived on Earth for 2,000 years after that he left, in the Bible it says Lucifer was set loose on Earth for a small season. We are in that right now. The only thing left is the apocalypse and God will stop that before it gets too crazy. So in reality. We are alive for a reason we get to meet Yahweh !!!!!!!!
The kingdom of g od” is nothing more than living truth , being truthful to self and others , becoming the embodiment of honesty , truthfulness,trustworthiness, respectfulness, fairness, moral justness and treat others with decency and dignity . Self acceptance and living with radical honesty . The truth will set you free indeed. That’s the “holy spirit “
It’s incredible the length we will go to exclude those we see as ‘other’ from Gods Kingdom. Christ was trying to awaken them to the reality that Gods presence in dwells from within. Gods breath is in us, the Kingdom of God are the activities of God. The Kingdom is where the fruit of the spirit lie. These are present, but hidden to us because of our misunderstanding of who we ALL are IN Christ. ‘Christ in you, the hope of Glory’ - this is what Paul says as a cry to humanity as a whole. Jesus wanted us to see that the Kingdom has come, it is here and has always been. It’s time to awaken to it.
The whole point of Jesus' ministry and dying was to open our eyes to our fallen nature, repent for our sins and look to him and the word of God for guidance. 'Kingdom of Heaven' is not some sort of secret code word for everyone doing whatever they want on Earth.
@@pianoatthirty Job 22:28 “Thou shalt also decree a thing and it shall be established unto thee and the light shall shine upon thy ways.” Mark 11:24 “Therefore I tell you whatever you ask for in prayer believe that you have received it and it will be yours.” Was Jesus just joking when he said we could literally move mountains?
The Kingdom of God is pure peace and faith, a closeness to God, impossible to obtain with sin consciousness mindset, only with a victory mindset. When we know the Holy Spirit lives in us and we have all authority and righteousness.
The Kingdom of God is spiritual although Jesus will literally rule and reign on earth in the future. As of now, the Kingdom of God is God ruling over the lives of those born again through the power of the Holy spirit.
It's funny how many Christians want to explain away what Christ himself said. He said “The kingdom of God does not come with observation; nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you” (NKJV) So to pretend that he was merely saying that the kingdom of God was standing amongst them is pretty silly. If the king is standing amongst you, you will observe him and say "look here". But if Christ-nature is within us (for God is love and he who loves knows God) then it makes sense for Jesus to clarify that “The kingdom of God does not come with observation", and that you shouldn't say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ "For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you”.
well actually I think he meant both it is within us AND was among us , We have another verse , notice the wording used here. Matthew 12:28 King James Version 28 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.
The whole point of the Bible is not to awaken us to our "christ-nature" but to reveal to us how we are fallen and need to look to Jesus for guidance. The word of God and Holy Spirit are in our midst to guide us.
Do you not understand the greek has two translations. Among and within. If you think the kingdom of God with some people are near but not quite there as he says Mark 12:34 but with the pharisees that he condemned as the brood of vipers, sons of satan and antichrist have it!?! Crazy, be consistent. This is the hindu inspired ideology. The only time the kingdom enters you is with the Holy Spirit.
These are the type of discussions that need to be had when we gather together. They never get much play in a “preacher” center body, a little too much preacher idolizing going on. The idea of “among you” is really interesting as it acknowledges the Holy Spirit in the individual and the body as we are to share our burdens and encourage one another, thus the Holy Spirit among the body. Stand up, put on that armor! You can only study and read about the practice of faith, and that’s encouraging, but until you step out in faith , it never gets exercised!

That Greek word is used twice in the New Testament. Here and also “You blind Pharisee, first clean the INSIDE of the cup and of the dish, so that the outside of it may become clean also.” ~Matt 23:26 It’s “inside” there but in Luke 17:21 the NASB translates it “in your midst” with a note that says “inside you” Inside works in both places. In you midsts definitely doesn't work in Matt 23:26. Looks like the translators wanted to get involved it what the Bible means and not sticking to what the Bible says.
A good overall introduction, but let us not be afraid of the call to healthy inwardness and interiority, the call to a receptive contemplative union with Christ, our King!
Some of these comments smack of JW bias - they reject the doctrine of the Trinity. When someone is born again in Christ Jesus the Holy Spirit comes to live in that person (1 Cor.Ch.6v.19 and elsewhere). This could be construed as the having the kingdom of God within you. Of course when the Lord Jesus returns as per Daniel Ch.2v.44 the Kingdom of God will be among you, in your midst. (and How!)
One interpretation I think you missed. Many times in the Old testament a passage had multiple meanings. For example in Hosea it said out of Egypt I called my son. This was talking about Israel but it was also talking about Jesus. Yet we could also apply it to ourselves when you consider Egypt as a metaphor for sin and slavery. Jesus often used ambiguous language so what he said could be applied in different ways. The kingdom was within him but he also wanted to place the kingdom of God in our hearts. The kingdom of God is not about restoring God to his rightful place is about restoring man to his rightful place. Remember Adam and Eve were created to rule over creation. God has always been and will always be king of the world according to the Psalms. Daniel says he rules in the kingdoms and affairs of men and gives them to whom he chooses. Jesus was planting seeds in people's hearts so that the kingdom of God would grow inside of them and change them from the inside out. As to the religious leaders Jesus wanted the kingdom of God to be in them. To me Jesus saying the kingdom of God is within you is a poetic way of saying, "Don't look for outward changes look for inward changes."
What he means is that the Kingdom of God is a situation or a condition you find yourself in. Some people are ruled by the Devil, and others are ruled by God. Thank you.
The kingdom of god is within you, as it is within all of us, even those that do not believe. The goodness of humanity, the empathy, the care and love for one another, is the kingdom of god. Even the Pharisees hearts had the kingdom of within them, it is a natural part of all of us. This is how I understand it.
Nah, God is God and our 'soul' is part of our fallen, mortal nature. Literally what the New Testament teaches. We are separate from God and have to look to his word for guidance. To actually believe "our true identity is God" is to say, "God is Everything" -- which is a clever way of saying "God is nothing". All this modern Eckhart Tolle "spiritual awakening" stuff is just atheism inverted. God is not 'everything' -- He is the eternal creator, and we learn of His perfection through Jesus.
Christian just means follow of Christ or student of Christ. Gods word is very intelligent and complex in its simplicity, Jesus had a way of speaking to everyone.
When Jesus is saying “For look! The Kingdom of God is within your midst” (or is among you) he was obviously referring to the Pharisees to whom he was talking. Jesus was God’s royal representative, the one anointed by God for the kingship. Hence, it could be said that “the Kingdom” 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 kingdom.
To those that have ears to hear, hear these words. The kingdom of God can be found within all of us. The Pharisees had not found the kingdom and had been shown the keys but had hidden them away. What are these keys? Let those who have ears hear these words. The keys to Gods kingdom are the mystic arts like Kabbalah. It is meditation, That is why it is said 'in stillness you will know God'. That is why Jesus so often says 'hey I saw you sitting under that tree in stillness and gives praise. Why is this not widely known or seems fringe? The preachers and so called men of God have hidden the keys!
The kingdom is not in the heart. It's in the temple made with no hands. Which is your head. Anyway, yes, the kingdom of God is within you. It's in everyone. Even the "pharacies". I'm just gonna make the short. All it means is to meditate. Jesus says, seek first the kingdom of God. Which is in you. How? Take no thought and let thine eye be single. Just meditate and activate the pineal gland or "Third Eye".
The right interpretation is "The Kingdom of Alahym is within you." As it is written, "Shamuth/Exodus 19:5. 'And now, if you diligently obey My Voice, and shall guard My covenant, then you shall *BE My treasured possession* above all the peoples - for all the earth is Mine - 6. and you shall *BE to Me a kingdom* of priests and a set-apart nation.' Those are the Words which you are to speak to the children of Yashara'al." It is not about "making it" to the Kingdom. It is about "being" the Kingdom, "being" His treasured possession. Henceforth, the Kingdom of Yahuah is within all who believe. Therefore, if you do not possess the Kingdom within you, you will not receive the Kingdom. You must possess it first, then you shall receive it. We are the Temple of Alahym (1 Corinthians 6:19). Remember?
No one else think this relates to the Bhagavad Gita. How Krishna explains about entering into the kingdom of heaven (within you) even at the hour of death.
The Pharisees asked Jesus when the kingdom of God would come. In answer, he said to them, "The kingdom of God does not come in such a way as to be striking to the eye. It will not say, 'Here it is' or 'There it is'. For behold, the kingdom of God is within you." And he said to the disciples, "The days will come when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it. And they will say to you, 'Behold, here he is, and behold, there he is. For as the lightning flashes and flashes from one edge of heaven to the other, so will the Son of Man be in His day. But first he must suffer many things and be rejected from this generation.
This is the correct answer straight from the Bible and correct translations God’s Kingdom is not merely a condition in the hearts of Christians. The Bible identifies its true location by calling it “the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 4:17, King James Version) Consider how the Bible shows it to be a real government that is ruling from heaven. God’s Kingdom has rulers, subjects, laws, and a mandate to establish the will of God in heaven and on the earth.-Matthew 6:10; Revelation 5:10. God’s government, or Kingdom, will rule over all “the peoples, nations, and language groups” of the earth. (Daniel 7:13, 14) The authority for its rulership comes, not from its subjects, but directly from God.-Psalm 2:4-6; Isaiah 9:7. Jesus told his faithful apostles that they would join him in the Kingdom of heaven to “sit on thrones.”-Luke 22:28, 30. The Kingdom has enemies, which it will destroy.-Psalm 2:1, 2, 8, 9; 110:1, 2; 1 Corinthians 15:25, 26. The Bible does not teach that the Kingdom of heaven is in your heart in the sense that it rules through a person’s heart. However, it does show that the “word of the Kingdom” or the “good news of the Kingdom” can and should affect our hearts.-Matthew 13:19; 24:14. Some people have become confused about the location of the Kingdom by the rendering of Luke 17:21 in some Bible translations. For example, the King James Version says that “the kingdom of God is within you.” To understand this verse correctly, we must consider the context. Jesus was speaking to the Pharisees, a group of religious leaders who opposed him and shared in arranging for his execution. (Matthew 12:14; Luke 17:20) Does it make sense to think that the Kingdom was a condition in their obstinate hearts? Jesus told them: “Inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.”-Matthew 23:27, 28. Other translations accurately clarify Jesus’ statement at Luke 17:21: “God’s kingdom is here with you.” (Italics ours; Contemporary English Version) “The Kingdom of God is among you.” (New World Translation, footnote) The Kingdom of heaven was “with” or “among” the Pharisees, in that Jesus, the one designated by God to rule as King, was standing before them.-Luke 1:32, 33. Many Many Christian denominations teach that the Kingdom of God is within a person, or in someone’s heart. For example, in the United States, the Southern Baptist Convention declared that the Kingdom of God is in part “the reign of God in the heart and life of the individual.” Similarly, in his book Jesus of Nazareth, Pope Benedict XVI stated that “the Kingdom of God comes by way of a listening heart.”
@@maxsavage3998 Jesus prayed before going to the cross that His followers would be one with Him and the Father -that each would be in the other -the Father, Son , believer-and all of this through the Holy Spirit. This prayer was realized on Pentecost. We see this concept in Revelations where the Father and Jesus stand outside the door of one's heart and knock...and they will come in and sup with that person. The proof that one is a member of the Kingdom of God is the Holy Spirit dwelling in them evidenced by His fruits. He has been ruling through His people through the Holy Spirit .

@@maxsavage3998 There is one way to the Father and that is through His Son and yes the road is narrow. As far as Adam and Eve -remember something the Lamb was crucified since before the foundations of the world. Some believe the Father doesn't know all things I think He does.
The Kingdom of God is a heavenly government that will intervene in human affairs at a future time. Jesus taught his followers to pray for God's Kingdom to come and for God's will to be done on earth as it is in heaven. Daniel 2:44 describes God's Kingdom as a rulership that will crush all othe rulerships, or governments, and take over rulership of the earth forever. Before Jesus ascended to heaven, he declared that all authority on earth and heaven had been given to him. However, he was to wait before establishing his rulership over the earth. Hebrews 10:12 and 13 clarifies this by saying that after Jesus died, he sat down at the right hand of God from then on awaiting until his enemies should be placed as a stool for his feet.
The book of Thomas talks about this in great detail. People still waiting on this spooky mystery God and God is telling you to look WITHIN and follow THE CHRIST EXAMPLE
within is translated from the Greek Entos, used twice in the NT, the other time in Matthew 23:26, referring to cleaning the INSIDE of a cup. Dogmatic Christians can't compute that the Kingdom of Heaven is pure consciousness, agape, kindness, etc. and that it is the true nature of the human soul, especially when guided by Jesus' teaching and example and double down on bad translations to avoid the mystical teachings for fear of heresy or something.
You are absolutely right 100%. But others will not accept this because they do not know the meaning of heaven and hell. When a person does good deeds the gate to heaven opens and when a person does bad deeds the gate to hell open. This is reality and truth and the real meaning of heaven and hell, rest everything is myth. With the confusion of heaven and hell the kingdom of God can never be established. Wake up people use your knowledge and wisdom and commonsence, think about it, just don't believe, do your honest research and be free from the lies that men say, that men teach and that men preach. REMEMBER TRUTH IS HARD TO DIGEST.
The human soul can die and it isnt eternal. The immortal soul came from the early greek religion. That belief doesn't come from God but is pagan non inspired. God told Adam if you eat of the forbidden fruit you will die. No mention if hellfire or eternal torment. This has nothing to do with Gods kingdom
@@maxsavage3998 Matthew 22:34 35 One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question: 36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” 37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[c]
This is wrong. Jesus was only taking about everything you need to be within his (your) body. No temples, no synagogues, no kings, no gods needed. Everything you need to be human resides within your body. That simple. These interpretations yet again are far fetched.
I think the kingdom of God is within every human being.. it may be hidden or covered up by a lot of ugliness and sin but it's there within every individual
If you have the holy spirit, and conform to piety. Some people have spirit of stupor and lack faith. First Timothy 5:4. But if any widow have children, or nephews, let them learn first to shew Piety at home, and to REQUITE their parents: for that is good and acceptable before God. REQUITE in Greek means = AMOUBE, means, return RECOMPENSES. Parents are responsible for teaching their children God's laws and provisions. Correcting their children when they do wrong. Your brain takes in whatever its fed. If it's Gods wisdom and knowledge, or junk. If it's only garbage, what do you expect. The education system is a disaster. God is removed, and evolution and philosophy is taught. Their minds are distorted with garbage. 5:11. But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to wax wanton against christ to marry. It applies to both women and men. A Christian might marry a heathen, and the Christian became compromised. In other words, become a Apostate, turned their backs on Gods truth. They accept heathen traditions. Which is traditions of men. You don't want to be in a position where your spouse will influence you or try to manipulate you. You can't compromise your values and beliefs. 5:13. And with al they learn to be idle, wandering from house to house; and not only idle, but TATTLERS also and, busybody, speaking things they ought not. God doesn't like gossip and slander. The one God hates the most, those who sow discord. Getting drunk, or passing along gossip. Usually envy or jealousy is a motive for slander. 5:15. For some are already turned aside after satan. Those who refuse to conform to piety. Going to a denominations that teach tradition of men, false doctrine, their headed for dark path to hell. God hates false religion, false doctrine. Agnostics, atheists, apostates, heathen, its ride on satan's train to hell. Theirs repentance for sins to God, if their sincere, and conform to God's standard. You can't mix heathen traditions with true worship of God. Psalm 73:3. For I was envious at the foolish, When I saw the prosperity of the wicked. Integrity and piety are important. The path of darkness the wicked take. I'll gotten gains, or gossip and slander, or drug dealers, they will self destruct. God has books in heaven, and punishment will come to the wicked. Its downhill to hell, unless they reform and repent. 73:12. Behold, these are the ungodly, Who prosper in the world; they increase in riches. A bad business person who rips people off probably won't be in business too long. Drug dealers will eventually get caught, and go to penitentiary. I'll gotten gains in the long run, wont pay off. The path of darkness is following satan. 73:17. Until I went into the sanctuary of God; Then I understand their end. Yes, you need the holy spirit. Those with spirit of slumber will be taught during millennium, revelation chapter 13. Those who reject Jesus as their salvation or apostates who turned their backs on Gods truth, are headed for destruction. The wise know that God's sanctuary is the key, that piety goes with the holy spirit. Some people reject God's wisdom and knowledge, their outside the sanctuary, and satan has them on his train going to hell. Some people will have a opportunity during millennium for eternal life, revelation chapter 20. The wicked follow satan into lake of fire.
Jesus was talking to the Pharisees at Luke 17, notice verse 20! Jesus always talked in parables when he addressed anyone other than his disciples! Matthew 13:34! Jesus being the King of God's Kingdom was in their midst! The Kingdom that Jesus is King of is a heavenly government that will soon take control of earth's affairs and bring beautiful changes to the earth. There will be no more death, pain or sorrow on earth, Revelation 21:4,5! No more wickedness on earth, Psalm 92:7; Psalms 37:9-11! After Armageddon the meek will inherit the earth and live forever on it, Psalms 37:29; Matthew 5:5; Proverbs 2:21,22! The earth will be cultivated into a Paradise like God intended in the beginning, Genesis 1:28; Isaiah 55:11! Jesus will do on a grand scale what he did when he walked the earth including raising those who are asleep in death, John 5:28,29! There will only be one government over the entire earth forever, Daniel 2:44! In order to receive everlasting life and the blessings that God has promised, either in heaven or on a Paradise earth, we must worship the Father with spirit and truth, John 4:22-24; Isaiah 42:8; Psalms 83:18!
Who taught you this? I'm genuinely interested because what you are talking about is called the kingdom of HEAVEN which is different from the Kingdom of GOD.
Where does it say if you make the right choices? Seems like all you need is faith and belief to be saved by grace not by right choices? Or doing because we will never rid our flesh lumps of sin placed in us
Kingdom of Heaven is physical and earthly and Jesus will rule on earth during Kingdom of Heaven. Kingdom of God is different and is the Holy Spirit within you when you are saved.
Heaven is not something people go to it's something people go through the same can be said about hell when you die and bring all your bad with you you burn of Shame it's an experience it's a mindset Heaven is on Earth hell is on Earth God is everywhere everything everyone
I think we are created souls by God in His image... Image meaning with the kingdom of heaven within. It is for us to seek within and find the kingdomthus bringung about such a transformation which is the light of the Christ. We all have it as God does not discriminate by giving only some souls and not others.
Israel was waiting for the Messiah (the anointed one), i.e. a king. Jesus came and said the kingdom is near because he was the chosen one of God. Instead of being crowned king, he was crucified and that resulted in the kingdom not coming. Therefore we pray for it to come. Kingdom now theology has mistakenly replaced Israel with the church and suggests that the Kingdom of God is here now, which is a bizarre thought when you look at the world. Jesus himself said that they (Israelites) would not see him again UNTIL they say blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord (it was Jesus who came in the name of the Lord). So Jesus will not come until Israel as a nation sees Jesus as the king over Israel.
Now when I say heaven is on Earth and hell is on Earth it's because it's within you and within everyone and everything our actions start off within our mind so hell is within our mind
It means what it says. The Kingdom of God is within you and surely that is exactly what Jesus meant. This is why he was so radical and the ones in power wanted to get rid of him. The church wants to remain the intermediary between you and God and keep you paying and praying. You don’t need the church to have a relationship with God. Theologists get their degrees from our indoctrinated education system and somehow that makes them experts. Experts of the system of control. If everyone only knew of our own divinities. We are all children of God and God is within each and every one of us.
Not within you but among you a king denotes a kingdom . Got back to original text and use a strong's concordance and kjv bible. Now the of begins after 1000 yr period after all enemies are destroyed.
Its about the body being a temple and your spirit being of God. Surrendering to your spirit will awaken You and set You free from lies of Man and thier quest to overcome God using the misplaced faith if others...it wont work because Gods will is absolute and I exist whether you believe in Me or Not...the inverse is not true...when i disbelieve in your worth as a mortal your body will consume itself. So curse the name Lucifer one more time and you will know that I God, am Death and No Angel! -Lucifer
To make it into the kingdom of heaven, you need to practice chastity, this includes giving up masturbation. To be completely established in this is impossible without the deliverance from Jesus Christ. Only the ones that truly love the Father, and seek to be obedient to Him and do His will, will follow this path, you will fall down many times before you are established, but if you stay faithful and don't give up in this walk, He will fix you, and deliver you from the law of SIN, which currently binds every man and woman in the world. Lucifer is believed by many to be a fallen angel, but is in fact an allegory for the private part of a man and a woman, and many believers in Christ are unknowingly worshiping the Devil, Ultimately the Father want's you to make a choice between Him and Lucifer, If you take this way of life upon your shoulders, He will open your eyes to the true hidden meanings of the scriptures.
you should not teach what you don't understand! When Jesus said that the kingdom of God is within you. He meant it literally. You must understand who you are and who you are not before, so you can understand my friend.
Yes, I totally agree to what you say, very good research about kingdom of God. But people do not understand because they have been taught, programmed and manipulated by man made doctrines and prophesies which are nothing but lies.

Yet without a word..So I cannot teach about the politics.. But I witness.. John 1:8 Jesus is the truth..and the way. John 14:6 to Judea Jerusalem Samaria and the world. to the truth of god within. As god is love and lives within us. John 4:8 "UNITY" many parts of scripture..will fit with this.. "Jesus's words" yet too there is much that id like to tell you..and though I witness and have then confirmation of unity..I also understand I don't know enough about up to heaven.. As I do not know about that.. But I do know gods within us. I suppose that's why Jesus teaches..who ever follows me will not walk in darkness but have the light of life. I believe its about knowing god is love and light..and at heart level..mind you with science now we can more so easily understand quantum waves particals with photons..ect. Hope this assists you..in understanding consciousness or to be consciously aware of unity. It would fullfill Jesus's prayer of John 17. So that you would know.. To be one as i am one.

The Bible does not teach that the Kingdom of heaven is in your heart in the sense that it rules through a person’s heart. However, it does show that the “word of the Kingdom” or the “good news of the Kingdom” can and should affect our hearts.-Matthew 13:19; 24:14. Some people have become confused about the location of the Kingdom by the rendering of Luke 17:21 in some Bible translations. For example, the King James Version says that “the kingdom of God is within you.” To understand this verse correctly, we must consider the context. Jesus was speaking to the Pharisees, a group of religious leaders who opposed him and shared in arranging for his execution. (Matthew 12:14; Luke 17:20) Does it make sense to think that the Kingdom was a condition in their obstinate hearts? Jesus told them: “Inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.”-Matthew 23:27, 28. Other translations accurately clarify Jesus’ statement at Luke 17:21: “God’s kingdom is here with you.” (Italics ours; Contemporary English Version) “The Kingdom of God is among you.” (New World Translation, footnote) The Kingdom of heaven was “with” or “among” the Pharisees, in that Jesus, the one designated by God to rule as King, was standing before them.-Luke 1:32, 33.
@@maxsavage3998 I refuse to believe this. Why would God give all his covenants to men and even send his own flesh and blood down to earth to show us how to live just for us to be docile and wait for him to return again. Can you try to make this make sense for me? I believe Christian’s are suppose to act and try to bring the kingdom of heaven here. The physical government that you talk about I believe is going to be self governance. With God already placing all the rules down why would we still need people governing us? Could these people be governing us just like how a father would govern his kid growing up? However once we reach adult hood we should be able to self govern ourselves? Do you believe there will still be sin when the kingdom of heaven is established? If no then why would we still need a government? Didn’t God himself say Kings are a bad thing?
@@thejboy5596 because of universal issues involving all parties especially Gods Sovereignty and right to rule over everything. From the Genesis account chapters 2 and 3. Satan challenged Gods right to rule by saying to Eve is it so that God said..he said you will be like god..in other words dont need God. The Devils challenging that authority using humans as his tool, the devil also claims that man only serves God for selfish reasons. Read the first few chapters of Job. And finally Because issues that involve humans and the earth. Why would God not involve humans with issues that involve their fate and to prove the devil a liar? God could have sent another materialized fleshly being to compensate for Adams sin instead God sent his best because he felt man was worth it. John 3;16. With regards the Kingdom of God. Its a 1000 years reign by Jesus and 144k former humans who lived on earth. After that 1000 years they will hand over the perfected human race to God 1 Cor 15:24-28 and therefore Gods original plan written in the book of Genesis will be fulfilled.

Read the Gospel of Thomas. Most of the sayings of Jesus in this Gospel are referenced in the canonical Gospels and many of them word for word. To think the Gospel of Thomas is heresy is to say the canonical gospels are also heresy. Don't be a fool. In Thomas Jesus clearly says the Kingdom of God is within us, and it is outside of us. If God is not in your heart then you alone exclude yourself from the Kingdom. The Kingdom of God is not a physical place. It is more like a spiritual awareness that ratifies the primal fears and hate that fills our minds. However, God is not the diety religion acclaims. Religion is ignorant of truth and invented by the fear and greed of men.
Thank you for this video. I think the right interpretation is: the kingdom of God is within you.
Jesus changed hearts from within. He showed that if we acted properly, we could manifest the kingdom internally and therefore, influence our outer reality: our family, our friends, our communities, and eventually, the world.
Amen
I used to believe this, then I actually read the Bible. Jesus' message has nothing to do with 'manifesting our desired reality'. In reality, this world is fallen, and we look to Him and the word of God for guidance. Here are more of Jesus' own words on the kingdom of heaven : “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was thrown into the sea and gathered fish of every kind. When it was full, men drew it ashore and sat down and sorted the good into containers but threw away the bad. So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come out and separate the evil from the righteous and throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth." - Matthew 13:47-50.
You’re still operating from a works-based “if we can act properly” understanding - a very new age interpretation that puts you in the driver’s seat instead of Christ.
The kingdom of God is not primarily a noun, meaning place or people. It is a verb, meaning God's way of interacting with creation. It is the act of God being King. The signs and wonders 'are' the Kingdom! Matt 10;7,8
In the life of Jesus we can see the kingdom in action. Matt 12;28. When it comes to the kingdom of God, scripture is referring to the overthrow of satan's work and God's active intervention in the lives of his people. Matt 4:23. The Kingdom of God has power to overthrough the rule of satan in this world.
Praise be to God. Amen
Right and Daniel 2 44 says that this Kingdom will destroy all these kingdoms including their respective governments and God will set up hos own
Yup. Also check this out. So the devil has altered our time line. The second coming of Christ is already,. This is after the fall of Rome,. After Rome fell Christ came back, that's why you see all these crazy Victorian houses huge mental institutions that are crazy built and we don't know how or who built these way back in the day. They are all over the world. And if you noticed every war we go in they go and destroy these buildings.... That was Jesus Kingdom on Earth, he lived on Earth for 2,000 years after that he left, in the Bible it says Lucifer was set loose on Earth for a small season. We are in that right now. The only thing left is the apocalypse and God will stop that before it gets too crazy. So in reality. We are alive for a reason we get to meet Yahweh !!!!!!!!

Self acceptance and living with radical honesty . The truth will set you free indeed. That’s the “holy spirit “
It’s incredible the length we will go to exclude those we see as ‘other’ from Gods Kingdom. Christ was trying to awaken them to the reality that Gods presence in dwells from within. Gods breath is in us, the Kingdom of God are the activities of God. The Kingdom is where the fruit of the spirit lie. These are present, but hidden to us because of our misunderstanding of who we ALL are IN Christ. ‘Christ in you, the hope of Glory’ - this is what Paul says as a cry to humanity as a whole. Jesus wanted us to see that the Kingdom has come, it is here and has always been. It’s time to awaken to it.
The whole point of Jesus' ministry and dying was to open our eyes to our fallen nature, repent for our sins and look to him and the word of God for guidance. 'Kingdom of Heaven' is not some sort of secret code word for everyone doing whatever they want on Earth.

@@mcrage81 no the Bible. Paul's letters to the Churches.
The Kingdom of God is spiritual although Jesus will literally rule and reign on earth in the future.
As of now, the Kingdom of God is God ruling over the lives of those born again through the power of the Holy spirit.
It's funny how many Christians want to explain away what Christ himself said. He said “The kingdom of God does not come with observation; nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you” (NKJV)
So to pretend that he was merely saying that the kingdom of God was standing amongst them is pretty silly. If the king is standing amongst you, you will observe him and say "look here".
But if Christ-nature is within us (for God is love and he who loves knows God) then it makes sense for Jesus to clarify that “The kingdom of God does not come with observation", and that you shouldn't say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ "For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you”.
well actually I think he meant both it is within us AND was among us , We have another verse , notice the wording used here. Matthew 12:28
King James Version
28 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.
The whole point of the Bible is not to awaken us to our "christ-nature" but to reveal to us how we are fallen and need to look to Jesus for guidance. The word of God and Holy Spirit are in our midst to guide us.
@@pianoatthirtymidst means middle.
Do you not understand the greek has two translations. Among and within. If you think the kingdom of God with some people are near but not quite there as he says Mark 12:34 but with the pharisees that he condemned as the brood of vipers, sons of satan and antichrist have it!?! Crazy, be consistent. This is the hindu inspired ideology. The only time the kingdom enters you is with the Holy Spirit.
These are the type of discussions that need to be had when we gather together. They never get much play in a “preacher” center body, a little too much preacher idolizing going on. The idea of “among you” is really interesting as it acknowledges the Holy Spirit in the individual and the body as we are to share our burdens and encourage one another, thus the Holy Spirit among the body.
Stand up, put on that armor! You can only study and read about the practice of faith, and that’s encouraging, but until you step out in faith , it never gets exercised!

Your mistaken. Read Daniel 2:44 and Matthew 6:9 and 10 about what is the Kingdom of God
That Greek word is used twice in the New Testament. Here and also
“You blind Pharisee, first clean the INSIDE of the cup and of the dish, so that the outside of it may become clean also.” ~Matt 23:26
It’s “inside” there but in Luke 17:21 the NASB translates it “in your midst” with a note that says “inside you”
Inside works in both places. In you midsts definitely doesn't work in Matt 23:26. Looks like the translators wanted to get involved it what the Bible means and not sticking to what the Bible says.
A good overall introduction, but let us not be afraid of the call to healthy inwardness and interiority, the call to a receptive contemplative union with Christ, our King!
Some of these comments smack of JW bias - they reject the doctrine of the Trinity. When someone is born again in Christ Jesus the Holy Spirit comes to live in that person (1 Cor.Ch.6v.19 and elsewhere). This could be construed as the having the kingdom of God within you. Of course when the Lord Jesus returns as per Daniel Ch.2v.44 the Kingdom of God will be among you, in your midst. (and How!)
One interpretation I think you missed. Many times in the Old testament a passage had multiple meanings. For example in Hosea it said out of Egypt I called my son. This was talking about Israel but it was also talking about Jesus. Yet we could also apply it to ourselves when you consider Egypt as a metaphor for sin and slavery. Jesus often used ambiguous language so what he said could be applied in different ways. The kingdom was within him but he also wanted to place the kingdom of God in our hearts. The kingdom of God is not about restoring God to his rightful place is about restoring man to his rightful place. Remember Adam and Eve were created to rule over creation. God has always been and will always be king of the world according to the Psalms. Daniel says he rules in the kingdoms and affairs of men and gives them to whom he chooses. Jesus was planting seeds in people's hearts so that the kingdom of God would grow inside of them and change them from the inside out. As to the religious leaders Jesus wanted the kingdom of God to be in them. To me Jesus saying the kingdom of God is within you is a poetic way of saying, "Don't look for outward changes look for inward changes."
Planting seeds in peoples hearts ❤
What he means is that the Kingdom of God is a situation or a condition you find yourself in.
Some people are ruled by the Devil, and others are ruled by God.
Thank you.
Read Daniel 2:44
The kingdom is within you. God is within you. So go there and you and the father will be one.
It's both within us and among us. Within only those who believe in Jesus. and among the pharisees to witness.
The kingdom of god is within you, as it is within all of us, even those that do not believe. The goodness of humanity, the empathy, the care and love for one another, is the kingdom of god. Even the Pharisees hearts had the kingdom of within them, it is a natural part of all of us. This is how I understand it.
That makes sense to me,,,Neville Goddard said that god is imagination
Listen up - it means your soul is God - being human has separated us from him unless you awaken to your true identity - ego tells us we're seperate
Nah, God is God and our 'soul' is part of our fallen, mortal nature. Literally what the New Testament teaches. We are separate from God and have to look to his word for guidance. To actually believe "our true identity is God" is to say, "God is Everything" -- which is a clever way of saying "God is nothing". All this modern Eckhart Tolle "spiritual awakening" stuff is just atheism inverted. God is not 'everything' -- He is the eternal creator, and we learn of His perfection through Jesus.
@@pianoatthirtywell said!
Jesus was talking to and preaching to everyday people. He wasn't talking to Christians.
Christian just means follow of Christ or student of Christ. Gods word is very intelligent and complex in its simplicity, Jesus had a way of speaking to everyone.
When Jesus is saying “For look! The Kingdom of God is within your midst” (or is among you) he was obviously referring to the Pharisees to whom he was talking. Jesus was God’s royal representative, the one anointed by God for the kingship. Hence, it could be said that “the Kingdom” 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 kingdom.
Right well said
God's royal representative?
So he's not God? Just a representative?
Or
Or you mean two gods?
To those that have ears to hear, hear these words. The kingdom of God can be found within all of us. The Pharisees had not found the kingdom and had been shown the keys but had hidden them away. What are these keys? Let those who have ears hear these words. The keys to Gods kingdom are the mystic arts like Kabbalah. It is meditation, That is why it is said 'in stillness you will know God'. That is why Jesus so often says 'hey I saw you sitting under that tree in stillness and gives praise. Why is this not widely known or seems fringe? The preachers and so called men of God have hidden the keys!
The concept of the kingdom is in the mind.
The kingdom is not in the heart. It's in the temple made with no hands. Which is your head.
Anyway, yes, the kingdom of God is within you. It's in everyone. Even the "pharacies". I'm just gonna make the short. All it means is to meditate. Jesus says, seek first the kingdom of God. Which is in you. How? Take no thought and let thine eye be single. Just meditate and activate the pineal gland or "Third Eye".
You trust & live in God
Trust in God and you will live.
Thank you brother 🙂

The right interpretation is "The Kingdom of Alahym is within you." As it is written, "Shamuth/Exodus 19:5. 'And now, if you diligently obey My Voice, and shall guard My covenant, then you shall *BE My treasured possession* above all the peoples - for all the earth is Mine - 6. and you shall *BE to Me a kingdom* of priests and a set-apart nation.' Those are the Words which you are to speak to the children of Yashara'al." It is not about "making it" to the Kingdom. It is about "being" the Kingdom, "being" His treasured possession. Henceforth, the Kingdom of Yahuah is within all who believe. Therefore, if you do not possess the Kingdom within you, you will not receive the Kingdom. You must possess it first, then you shall receive it. We are the Temple of Alahym (1 Corinthians 6:19). Remember?
Good
No one else think this relates to the Bhagavad Gita. How Krishna explains about entering into the kingdom of heaven (within you) even at the hour of death.
So how do you enter it?
The Pharisees asked Jesus when the kingdom of God would come. In answer, he said to them, "The kingdom of God does not come in such a way as to be striking to the eye. It will not say, 'Here it is' or 'There it is'. For behold, the kingdom of God is within you." And he said to the disciples, "The days will come when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it. And they will say to you, 'Behold, here he is, and behold, there he is. For as the lightning flashes and flashes from one edge of heaven to the other, so will the Son of Man be in His day. But first he must suffer many things and be rejected from this generation.
This is the correct answer straight from the Bible and correct translations
God’s Kingdom is not merely a condition in the hearts of Christians. The Bible identifies its true location by calling it “the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 4:17, King James Version) Consider how the Bible shows it to be a real government that is ruling from heaven.
God’s Kingdom has rulers, subjects, laws, and a mandate to establish the will of God in heaven and on the earth.-Matthew 6:10; Revelation 5:10.
God’s government, or Kingdom, will rule over all “the peoples, nations, and language groups” of the earth. (Daniel 7:13, 14) The authority for its rulership comes, not from its subjects, but directly from God.-Psalm 2:4-6; Isaiah 9:7.
Jesus told his faithful apostles that they would join him in the Kingdom of heaven to “sit on thrones.”-Luke 22:28, 30.
The Kingdom has enemies, which it will destroy.-Psalm 2:1, 2, 8, 9; 110:1, 2; 1 Corinthians 15:25, 26.
The Bible does not teach that the Kingdom of heaven is in your heart in the sense that it rules through a person’s heart. However, it does show that the “word of the Kingdom” or the “good news of the Kingdom” can and should affect our hearts.-Matthew 13:19; 24:14.
Some people have become confused about the location of the Kingdom by the rendering of Luke 17:21 in some Bible translations. For example, the King James Version says that “the kingdom of God is within you.” To understand this verse correctly, we must consider the context.
Jesus was speaking to the Pharisees, a group of religious leaders who opposed him and shared in arranging for his execution. (Matthew 12:14; Luke 17:20) Does it make sense to think that the Kingdom was a condition in their obstinate hearts? Jesus told them: “Inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.”-Matthew 23:27, 28.
Other translations accurately clarify Jesus’ statement at Luke 17:21: “God’s kingdom is here with you.” (Italics ours; Contemporary English Version) “The Kingdom of God is among you.” (New World Translation, footnote) The Kingdom of heaven was “with” or “among” the Pharisees, in that Jesus, the one designated by God to rule as King, was standing before them.-Luke 1:32, 33.
Many Many Christian denominations teach that the Kingdom of God is within a person, or in someone’s heart. For example, in the United States, the Southern Baptist Convention declared that the Kingdom of God is in part “the reign of God in the heart and life of the individual.” Similarly, in his book Jesus of Nazareth, Pope Benedict XVI stated that “the Kingdom of God comes by way of a listening heart.”
Well said! “Among you” is the more accurate phrase considering our modern understanding of vocabulary.

The Kingdom of God is a heavenly government that will intervene in human affairs at a future time. Jesus taught his followers to pray for God's Kingdom to come and for God's will to be done on earth as it is in heaven. Daniel 2:44 describes God's Kingdom as a rulership that will crush all othe rulerships, or governments, and take over rulership of the earth forever. Before Jesus ascended to heaven, he declared that all authority on earth and heaven had been given to him. However, he was to wait before establishing his rulership over the earth. Hebrews 10:12 and 13 clarifies this by saying that after Jesus died, he sat down at the right hand of God from then on awaiting until his enemies should be placed as a stool for his feet.

@David19746 ok so……
Can someone confirm what does the original text say? Within or amongst? Big difference!
within is translated from the Greek Entos, used twice in the NT, the other time in Matthew 23:26, referring to cleaning the INSIDE of a cup. Dogmatic Christians can't compute that the Kingdom of Heaven is pure consciousness, agape, kindness, etc. and that it is the true nature of the human soul, especially when guided by Jesus' teaching and example and double down on bad translations to avoid the mystical teachings for fear of heresy or something.
You are absolutely right 100%. But others will not accept this because they do not know the meaning of heaven and hell. When a person does good deeds the gate to heaven opens and when a person does bad deeds the gate to hell open. This is reality and truth and the real meaning of heaven and hell, rest everything is myth. With the confusion of heaven and hell the kingdom of God can never be established. Wake up people use your knowledge and wisdom and commonsence, think about it, just don't believe, do your honest research and be free from the lies that men say, that men teach and that men preach. REMEMBER TRUTH IS HARD TO DIGEST.
The human soul can die and it isnt eternal. The immortal soul came from the early greek religion. That belief doesn't come from God but is pagan non inspired.
God told Adam if you eat of the forbidden fruit you will die. No mention if hellfire or eternal torment.

If you have the holy spirit, and conform to piety. Some people have spirit of stupor and lack faith. First Timothy 5:4. But if any widow have children, or nephews, let them learn first to shew Piety at home, and to REQUITE their parents: for that is good and acceptable before God. REQUITE in Greek means = AMOUBE, means, return RECOMPENSES. Parents are responsible for teaching their children God's laws and provisions. Correcting their children when they do wrong. Your brain takes in whatever its fed. If it's Gods wisdom and knowledge, or junk. If it's only garbage, what do you expect. The education system is a disaster. God is removed, and evolution and philosophy is taught. Their minds are distorted with garbage. 5:11. But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to wax wanton against christ to marry. It applies to both women and men. A Christian might marry a heathen, and the Christian became compromised. In other words, become a Apostate, turned their backs on Gods truth. They accept heathen traditions. Which is traditions of men. You don't want to be in a position where your spouse will influence you or try to manipulate you. You can't compromise your values and beliefs. 5:13. And with al they learn to be idle, wandering from house to house; and not only idle, but TATTLERS also and, busybody, speaking things they ought not. God doesn't like gossip and slander. The one God hates the most, those who sow discord. Getting drunk, or passing along gossip. Usually envy or jealousy is a motive for slander. 5:15. For some are already turned aside after satan. Those who refuse to conform to piety. Going to a denominations that teach tradition of men, false doctrine, their headed for dark path to hell. God hates false religion, false doctrine. Agnostics, atheists, apostates, heathen, its ride on satan's train to hell. Theirs repentance for sins to God, if their sincere, and conform to God's standard. You can't mix heathen traditions with true worship of God. Psalm 73:3. For I was envious at the foolish, When I saw the prosperity of the wicked. Integrity and piety are important. The path of darkness the wicked take. I'll gotten gains, or gossip and slander, or drug dealers, they will self destruct. God has books in heaven, and punishment will come to the wicked. Its downhill to hell, unless they reform and repent. 73:12. Behold, these are the ungodly, Who prosper in the world; they increase in riches. A bad business person who rips people off probably won't be in business too long. Drug dealers will eventually get caught, and go to penitentiary. I'll gotten gains in the long run, wont pay off. The path of darkness is following satan. 73:17. Until I went into the sanctuary of God; Then I understand their end. Yes, you need the holy spirit. Those with spirit of slumber will be taught during millennium, revelation chapter 13. Those who reject Jesus as their salvation or apostates who turned their backs on Gods truth, are headed for destruction. The wise know that God's sanctuary is the key, that piety goes with the holy spirit. Some people reject God's wisdom and knowledge, their outside the sanctuary, and satan has them on his train going to hell. Some people will have a opportunity during millennium for eternal life, revelation chapter 20. The wicked follow satan into lake of fire.
Jesus was talking to the Pharisees at Luke 17, notice verse 20! Jesus always talked in parables when he addressed anyone other than his disciples! Matthew 13:34! Jesus being the King of God's Kingdom was in their midst! The Kingdom that Jesus is King of is a heavenly government that will soon take control of earth's affairs and bring beautiful changes to the earth. There will be no more death, pain or sorrow on earth, Revelation 21:4,5! No more wickedness on earth, Psalm 92:7; Psalms 37:9-11! After Armageddon the meek will inherit the earth and live forever on it, Psalms 37:29; Matthew 5:5; Proverbs 2:21,22! The earth will be cultivated into a Paradise like God intended in the beginning, Genesis 1:28; Isaiah 55:11! Jesus will do on a grand scale what he did when he walked the earth including raising those who are asleep in death, John 5:28,29! There will only be one government over the entire earth forever, Daniel 2:44! In order to receive everlasting life and the blessings that God has promised, either in heaven or on a Paradise earth, we must worship the Father with spirit and truth, John 4:22-24; Isaiah 42:8; Psalms 83:18!

Heaven is not something people go to it's something people go through the same can be said about hell when you die and bring all your bad with you you burn of Shame it's an experience it's a mindset Heaven is on Earth hell is on Earth God is everywhere everything everyone
I think we are created souls by God in His image... Image meaning with the kingdom of heaven within. It is for us to seek within and find the kingdomthus bringung about such a transformation which is the light of the Christ. We all have it as God does not discriminate by giving only some souls and not others.
Israel was waiting for the Messiah (the anointed one), i.e. a king. Jesus came and said the kingdom is near because he was the chosen one of God. Instead of being crowned king, he was crucified and that resulted in the kingdom not coming. Therefore we pray for it to come. Kingdom now theology has mistakenly replaced Israel with the church and suggests that the Kingdom of God is here now, which is a bizarre thought when you look at the world. Jesus himself said that they (Israelites) would not see him again UNTIL they say blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord (it was Jesus who came in the name of the Lord). So Jesus will not come until Israel as a nation sees Jesus as the king over Israel.
Wow, you're really good
Now when I say heaven is on Earth and hell is on Earth it's because it's within you and within everyone and everything our actions start off within our mind so hell is within our mind
It means what it says. The Kingdom of God is within you and surely that is exactly what Jesus meant. This is why he was so radical and the ones in power wanted to get rid of him. The church wants to remain the intermediary between you and God and keep you paying and praying. You don’t need the church to have a relationship with God. Theologists get their degrees from our indoctrinated education system and somehow that makes them experts. Experts of the system of control. If everyone only knew of our own divinities. We are all children of God and God is within each and every one of us.
Not within you but among you a king denotes a kingdom .
Got back to original text and use a strong's concordance and kjv bible. Now the of begins after 1000 yr period after all enemies are destroyed.
And all around you
If that were the case where is Gods kingdom now?
Where in the Bible says the kingdom is WITHIN YOU ??
This guy reminds me of a cross between the guy from the X Files and Mur from Impractical Jokers.
Its about the body being a temple and your spirit being of God. Surrendering to your spirit will awaken You and set You free from lies of Man and thier quest to overcome God using the misplaced faith if others...it wont work because Gods will is absolute and I exist whether you believe in Me or Not...the inverse is not true...when i disbelieve in your worth as a mortal your body will consume itself. So curse the name Lucifer one more time and you will know that I God, am Death and No Angel!
-Lucifer
To make it into the kingdom of heaven, you need to practice chastity, this includes giving up masturbation. To be completely established in this is impossible without the deliverance from Jesus Christ. Only the ones that truly love the Father, and seek to be obedient to Him and do His will, will follow this path, you will fall down many times before you are established, but if you stay faithful and don't give up in this walk, He will fix you, and deliver you from the law of SIN, which currently binds every man and woman in the world.
Lucifer is believed by many to be a fallen angel, but is in fact an allegory for the private part of a man and a woman, and many believers in Christ are unknowingly worshiping the Devil, Ultimately the Father want's you to make a choice between Him and Lucifer, If you take this way of life upon your shoulders, He will open your eyes to the true hidden meanings of the scriptures.
you should not teach what you don't understand! When Jesus said that the kingdom of God is within you. He meant it literally. You must understand who you are and who you are not before, so you can understand my friend.
That's not the proper translation. The kingdom of God is around or among you
Yes, I totally agree to what you say, very good research about kingdom of God. But people do not understand because they have been taught, programmed and manipulated by man made doctrines and prophesies which are nothing but lies.
@@anthonyjohn9000 if you think about it how can the kingdom of god or jesus be in the people if there are wars strife jealousy hatred?
Inside you as you are made one.
I see god when i close my eyes in a siloehette of flowing light..
God waves at me..also waves again if i ask and shows me the connection throughout every thing.
So if I ask can you send my dog my dog will be sent. Also stars, the wind birds ect..connected.

Some references..as to scriptures.
God is spirit.

Yet without a word..So I cannot teach about the politics..
But I witness..
John 1:8
Jesus is the truth..and the way.
John 14:6
to Judea Jerusalem Samaria and the world.
to the truth of god within.
As god is love and lives within us.
John 4:8
"UNITY"
many parts of scripture..will fit with this.. "Jesus's words"
yet too there is much that id like to tell you..and though I witness and have then confirmation of unity..I also understand I don't know enough about up to heaven..
As I do not know about that..
But I do know gods within us.
I suppose that's why Jesus teaches..who ever follows me will not walk in darkness but have the light of life.
I believe its about knowing god is love and light..and at heart level..mind you with science now we can more so easily understand quantum waves particals with photons..ect.
Hope this assists you..in understanding consciousness or to be consciously aware of unity.
It would fullfill Jesus's prayer of John 17.
So that you would know..
To be one as i am one.
Those really dont prove God is in us. God has his own dwelling place
@@maxsavage3998 God is Spirit when can he dwell?
The Devil is an evil spirit where can he dwell?
Those who do evil have an evil spirit and those who do good have the spirit of God....
The quote was stolen from the Egyptian proverbs, just so you know.
What Egyptian proverb and where is the earliest mention of this proverb?
Revealations suppose to come directly from God without any help inbetween including Angels..angels are limited no free will and Grace it s only for humans, so angel gabriel revealations are LIMITED ONLY AFFECTED INFLICTED BY TIME.. our true inner self is the Holly Spirit Only, not even Soul..cause soul is actually the MIND...since our true self is holly spirit only, but when holly spirit descended into the universal mind, it was dressed up into soul..actually holly spirit has no sins...sins were carried by Mind or soul...soul was still mind.. universal mind was not God.. unmanifested god was seated much higher
I'd like to think the kingdom of God is within man in every man is the kingdom of God that he can reach towards to love his fellow human to be rid of hate and intolerance to Love thy neighbor and to spread the word of the good Lord to all whether you be a different color of skin it does not matter for you are a man and a son of God
I agree with you. If every single person cared more for their fellow human being rather than themselves then we would have heaven on earth. The kingdom of God.
Please revise your belief.
This is the correct answer straight from the Bible and correct translations
God’s Kingdom is not merely a condition in the hearts of Christians. The Bible identifies its true location by calling it “the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 4:17, King James Version) Consider how the Bible shows it to be a real government that is ruling from heaven.
God’s Kingdom has rulers, subjects, laws, and a mandate to establish the will of God in heaven and on the earth.-Matthew 6:10; Revelation 5:10.
God’s government, or Kingdom, will rule over all “the peoples, nations, and language groups” of the earth. (Daniel 7:13, 14) The authority for its rulership comes, not from its subjects, but directly from God.-Psalm 2:4-6; Isaiah 9:7.
Jesus told his faithful apostles that they would join him in the Kingdom of heaven to “sit on thrones.”-Luke 22:28, 30.
The Kingdom has enemies, which it will destroy.-Psalm 2:1, 2, 8, 9; 110:1, 2; 1 Corinthians 15:25, 26.
The Bible does not teach that the Kingdom of heaven is in your heart in the sense that it rules through a person’s heart. However, it does show that the “word of the Kingdom” or the “good news of the Kingdom” can and should affect our hearts.-Matthew 13:19; 24:14.
Some people have become confused about the location of the Kingdom by the rendering of Luke 17:21 in some Bible translations. For example, the King James Version says that “the kingdom of God is within you.” To understand this verse correctly, we must consider the context.
Jesus was speaking to the Pharisees, a group of religious leaders who opposed him and shared in arranging for his execution. (Matthew 12:14; Luke 17:20) Does it make sense to think that the Kingdom was a condition in their obstinate hearts? Jesus told them: “Inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.”-Matthew 23:27, 28.
Other translations accurately clarify Jesus’ statement at Luke 17:21: “God’s kingdom is here with you.” (Italics ours; Contemporary English Version) “The Kingdom of God is among you.” (New World Translation, footnote) The Kingdom of heaven was “with” or “among” the Pharisees, in that Jesus, the one designated by God to rule as King, was standing before them.-Luke 1:32, 33.

I refuse to believe this. Why would God give all his covenants to men and even send his own flesh and blood down to earth to show us how to live just for us to be docile and wait for him to return again. Can you try to make this make sense for me?
I believe Christian’s are suppose to act and try to bring the kingdom of heaven here. The physical government that you talk about I believe is going to be self governance. With God already placing all the rules down why would we still need people governing us? Could these people be governing us just like how a father would govern his kid growing up? However once we reach adult hood we should be able to self govern ourselves?
Do you believe there will still be sin when the kingdom of heaven is established? If no then why would we still need a government? Didn’t God himself say Kings are a bad thing?
@@thejboy5596 because of universal issues involving all parties especially
Gods Sovereignty and right to rule over everything. From the Genesis account chapters 2 and 3. Satan challenged Gods right to rule by saying to Eve is it so that God said..he said you will be like god..in other words dont need God.
The Devils challenging that authority using humans as his tool, the devil also claims that man only serves God for selfish reasons. Read the first few chapters of Job.
And finally Because issues that involve humans and the earth.
Why would God not involve humans with issues that involve their fate and to prove the devil a liar?
God could have sent another materialized fleshly being to compensate for Adams sin instead God sent his best because he felt man was worth it. John 3;16.
With regards the Kingdom of God. Its a 1000 years reign by Jesus and 144k former humans who lived on earth. After that 1000 years they will hand over the perfected human race
to God 1 Cor 15:24-28
and therefore Gods original plan written in the book of Genesis will be fulfilled. Making the world a paradise where no righteous one dies
Luke 17:21 Jesus said, "for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you: the endocrine system of hormones which give our feelings when hormones reach their receptor (Charkra)
The whole of nature works this way. Plant hormone regulate the forest, and this is why go to Allah is called going to the forest

Dispensationalism
Read the Gospel of Thomas. Most of the sayings of Jesus in this Gospel are referenced in the canonical Gospels and many of them word for word. To think the Gospel of Thomas is heresy is to say the canonical gospels are also heresy. Don't be a fool. In Thomas Jesus clearly says the Kingdom of God is within us, and it is outside of us. If God is not in your heart then you alone exclude yourself from the Kingdom. The Kingdom of God is not a physical place. It is more like a spiritual awareness that ratifies the primal fears and hate that fills our minds. However, God is not the diety religion acclaims. Religion is ignorant of truth and invented by the fear and greed of men.
Kjv is the way changing the word confuses.. I also belive there is a verse that states no man should add or take away from the book.
