''Luke 17:20 The kingdom is within you. Had you read the surrounding verses of this passage, it becomes very clear that the kingdom come will not be a literal seeing as you ref/subject shows, will be.''
More irrelevant waffle. Hot air in place of actual explanation.
The verses I quote cannot possibly refer to the ''kingdom of God is within'' because the descriptions do not allow it. The quotes are without a shadow of doubt describing an momentous external event , the return of Jesus in the clouds, with the host of heaven, for all mankind to see.....there is no possible way to interpret this as a mental epiphany
You are dreaming. You are trying to hammer a square peg into a round hole and in your imagination you feel that you have succeeded when to an objective observer it appears ridiculous.
Firstly, the Christians expected a literal second coming in their lifetime;
“Behold, I have told you in advance. So if they say to you, ‘Behold, He is in the wilderness,’ do not go out, or, ‘Behold, He is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe them. For just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes even to the west, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.
The text describes a literal return, a return that should not be seen as subjective, not inner personal experience. Instead it is describes something spectacular, leaving no doubt, ''just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes even to the west, so will the coming of the Son of Man be. ''
''And He will send forth His angels with a great trumpet and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.''
Now if you believe this describes a subjective kingdom within, something you feel a part of, you need to seriously work on your reading comprehension.
But try again if you like.
