“thus the kingdom of god was established in the church in the present age by restoring the indwelling of the human spirit by the holy spirit which was lost at the fall. in luke 17 jesus responded to a question posed to him by the pharisees who wanted to know when the kingdom would come. jesus said, ‘the kingdom of god does not come with your careful observation, nor will people say, ‘here it is,’ or ‘there it is,’ because the kingdom of god is within you.’ it is a foretaste of the kingdom to come when sin will be forever destroyed. . . . the complete fulfillment of the kingdom to come that will occur with the second coming of jesus christ is ‘not yet’ realized. the new covenant of the gospel gives the good hope that we will be with jesus for eternithy in the kingdom to come.”
