Jesus' message is
Repent, and be baptized in the Name of Jesus' Christ for the remission of sin, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

The passage is depicted as delivering the spirit, there's a double nuance of dying (giving up the final breath or spirit) and that of passing on the holy Spirit; assessment John 7:39 which connects the giving of the Spirit with Jesus’ wonderful return to the daddy. additionally, examine John 20:22 the place the author portrays the conferral of the Spirit. God bless'

The keys to begin to understand what the Kingdom of God are:
Daniel 2:44: "“And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin. And the kingdom itself will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite;"
Isaiah 9:6-7: "(Isaiah 9:6-7) “. . .For there has been a child born to us, there has been a son given to us; and the princely rule will come to be upon his shoulder. And his name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. 7 To the abundance of the princely rule and to peace there will be no end, upon the throne of David and upon his kingdom in order to establish it firmly and to sustain it by means of justice and by means of righteousness, from now on and to time indefinite. The very zeal of Jehovah of armies will do this.”
I think that you may be able to tell from these two prophecies that this kingdom is an actual government. Jesus is the appointed King. He will reign for a thousand years. There is a lot of information that goes along with this teaching, like who his co-rulers will be, but here is a clue to where the subjects will be...
Psalm 72:8: "And he will have subjects from sea to sea
And from the River to the ends of the earth."
Psalm 37: 9-11, 29: "For evildoers themselves will be cut off,
But those hoping in Jehovah are the ones that will possess the earth. 10 And just a little while longer, and the wicked one will be no more; And you will certainly give attention to his place, and he will not be. 11 But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth, And they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.
29 The righteous themselves will possess the earth,
And they will reside forever upon it."
Matthew 5:5: "Happy are the mild-tempered ones, since they will inherit the earth."
Matthew 6:33: "“Keep on, then, seeking first the kingdom and his righteousness, and all these [other] things will be added to YOU."
As for being relevant to todays youth, and adults as well...it is crucial that one discovers what this kingdom is, and learns what is required to be a part of this kingdom.

No, it's the earth. For your information God's house is in Baitullah.

The 'Kingdom of Heaven' is inside you, right before you and all around you, yet you do not see it. It is this eternal moment.
Not yesterday, not tomorrow and not in the clouds.
Put your right hand in front of your face and repeat after me:
"The Kingdom of Heaven is at Hand."
