Mark 1:15, John the Baptist, "The Kingdom of God is at hand.", Matt. 3:2, "Kingdom of Heaven is at hand"., Matt 10:7, "The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand"., Matt. 12:28, "Kingdom of god has come unto you"., Luke 11:20, "Kingdom of God is come upon you"., Luke 17:21, "Kingdom of God is within you"

It is near, we long for it in our hearts and minds but that Kingdom of God has yet to beocme a reality. So, we pray to the Father that His Kingdom (really) come.

Surely, the our world is not the Kingdom of Heaven, BD, but as Christians we have already left this world in spirit if not in body.

"Surely, the our world is not the Kingdom of Heaven, BD, but as Christians we have already left this world in spirit if not in body."

You know kosta, it happens every time. After we wear each other down a little we find the common ground. You are right, "This world is not our home, we're just passing through...."
