Jesus said, "….you must know the Kingdom of God is amongst you ….. as the lightning flashes from one part of heaven lights up the other, so will be the Son of Man when His day come. But first He must suffer grievously and be rejected by this generation."
Luke 17:21-25

Those who have singleness of mind and purity of heart know without any shadow of doubt that the Kingdom of God is a present reality, for their Heavenly Father is established in their life and being. And the Kingdom is established and extended by their faithful witness to His Presence and to the light and power of My Saving Name :: through My incarnation and redeeming love all the children of men may become inheritors of the Father's Kingdom of light and love.

But as the Son of Man through obedience to the Father's loving purpose suffered and died to enable man's progression to and in the Father's Kingdom, so must the Father's children identify in faith and loving trust whatever betides.

And as the suffering, risen, ascended Son of Man is seen and recognised in the joys and sufferings of the redeemed and sanctified children of their Heavenly Father, so is the Father's Kingdom in this world furthered. His Name honoured and glorified. And the frontiers of the Kingdom melt into the realities of eternal life.
