Title: The Kingdom of God is within you.
Contents The Israelites in the Old Testament thought that the kingdom of God was coming with their eyes. In other words, because the Lord said that the kingdom of God would come, he could see the kingdom of God with his eyes just like the existing world. Of course, with their concept, it may be natural to think that way. It was a time when they lived according to the law, so they knew that if they endured even if it was difficult and difficult, then the Messiah would come and lead them into a more comfortable and stable life. To them, who were living in such a thought, the Son of God suddenly appeared and said that the kingdom of God will not come with sight, but will come true within you.
The people of the Old Testament, even those who had faith, looked and believed in the faint kingdom of God. So, in the book of Hebrews, it is expressed that they did not receive the promise of heaven and died according to their faith. In other words, they died without any guarantee of heaven because they were people who lived a life of faith in a state where the kingdom of heaven had not yet appeared. In the midst of this, the fact that Jesus, the Lord of heaven, came to the land of Israel means that the kingdom of God has already arrived in this world. That's why Jesus said that whoever sees me and believes in me will live even if they die, and whoever lives and believes in me will never die.
