Now it is the church. Any all future view of the kingdom CANNOT be true because Jesus stated that some people who heard him would see the kingdom "come with power."

Since Jesus said "the Kingdom of God is within you" he's clearly not meaning a physical place like a nation. He's describing a a mental/spiritual "tone of mind" where God's grace and graciousness prevails, how people behave and react where God's way of looking at things is the way we see each situation, and he teaches these characteristics in parables of the sower, mustard seed, yeast, hidden treasure, pearl, fishing net. He talks about it so much theologians call this body of teaching "the gospel of the kingdom" or "Kingdom Theology."

Rom 14:17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
The Kingdom of God, to me, means the life of the vine...living in the will of God, through the Holy Spirit, moment by moment. He must increase, and I must decrease. The Kingdom of God is within us. Soon, He will take back the earth and then it will be global.

It is a paradise earth. Jesus talked all about his Fathers kingdom. In his model prayer, he said, Let your kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven. So,His Father's kingdom is right here on earth. But it will not be a paradise until Jesus comes back and destroys all the wicked.

My description is a place where we as His creation is walking in our original destiny without blemish, where we can see Him in his majesty and be with the angels as they worship Him saying Holy Holy are you LORD.
Its a place where the finite is and where dreams and reality merge. The Kingdom of God is you and me. We are his handiwork and we show is Glory

The "kingdom" may not necessarily be a tangible place, but a place where all the things promised in the bible are yours, eternal life, peace, etc.
