The Kingdom Of God

Posted by Roaring Lovely on January 19, 2016 at 9:30am
'The kingdom of God does not come with your carefull observation nor will people say, 'Here it is', or 'There it is' because the kingdom of God is within you' Luke 17:20This verse has become the bread and the butter of modern 'spiritually'. Well, I used to like it when quoted in 'new age' till I suddenly got angry. It is because I found out that it is neither the word 'God' nor 'Kingdom' that makes the tail so kinky. It is the word 'within' that raises the pairs of buttocks. Apparently, he is not interested with whatever that would be 'within'. Even if Jesus had said the devil or hell is within you, he would still have aroused. It is yap yap yap within that matters. In is not the truth per-se that matters but the vague place it is supposedly found. It is not the diamond that they sell. It is some invisible diamond mine that is peddled.One other thing the above verse might be very interesting is 'guruish' style of Jesus. This is releasing a jump card to evade the question. People are asking WHEN the kingdom of God will come and Jesus is answering HOW it will do so. 'Gurus' realy love this.Infact, the above verse is a mistranslation of NIV version and may not even be teaching what exactly Jesus teached about the kingdom of God. But it has confused even Christians on what the Kingdom Of God supposed to mean. Here is the correct quote:"The kingdom of God will not come in such a way as to be said, 'there it is', rather, it will suddenly appear in your midist" (New King James Version)Suddenly, what the new age guru wanted to teach disapears in picoseconds! He wanted to say that the 'Kingdom Of God' has no objective reality. It is just a stuff that only a psycologist or a psychiatrist might be interested with. It is just some vague sentiments you will experience if you follow the practises he is ready to sell it to you that he terms 'search within'.Christians have also 'spiritualised' this message to nothing. Being 'born again' is just the process of becoming a christian, baptism is the process of turning a dry sinner into a wet sinner and kingdom of God is just the church! Metaphors are only good when they stick to where they belong, Poetry. When used in the context of 'truths', it only cloud reasoning and make people stupid. There is a reason why metaphors are indispensable in religion, it kills two birds with a single stone. By arbitrarily choosing what to take it literal and what to take it poeticaly, he can justify or condem anything he wish. Metaphors allows someone to move the post any time it suits him! The religion often collups when you merely force them to call a spade a spade.So not so to me. I am tightly on the camp of those Jews who were patiently waiting for a real worrior comming with an iron club and spitting out a sword from his mouth. Jesus of course would greatly disapoint them. Instead of this new 'king' conquering and defeating the Tyrannic Roman Empire and establishing the the righteous Kingdom, which would turn the world to a paradise, he rathe kill his hours singing poems and he eventually get killed by the empire he was prophesied to come and conquer! So you might naturaly be thinking that I too am on the camp of Judahs who felt that Jesus betrayed them back to Romans but you are totally mistaken. As you will see, Jews right from the start losed the track on what constitude the Kingdom Of God.Some times then, during the reigns of Kings in Israel, kings often turned out to be tyrannical. Originally, they were inaugurated by priests and prophets, beginning from phrophet Samwell. The evil kings of Israel and Judah created a longing for a time when a king will establish a utopia in Israel. This foreseen kingdom was dubed the 'kingdom of God' for kings would do the will of God in that kingdom. This was idea was farther formented by the foreign empires such as Babylon, Persia etc attacking Israel, alongside the rest of the world. Apparently, the priests of Israel longed for the time when, like Babylon, Persia etc, Jews would rule the entire world. So the story of a magical ruler who would do this was concocted. This was the idea of the Kingdom Of God."Then the sovereignty, power and greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven will be handed over to the saints, the people of the Most High. His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom and all rulers will worship and obey him.' Daniel 7:26This verse amongst myriads of similar ones says it all. It is clearly not talking about some sentiments 'within' that only a psychiatrist is interested with. It is talking about a real government that will usher in a golden age. It is something that we too, in the modern age should be pushing foward to. Granted, some 'work within' is neaded to bring the kingdom but work within per-se does not define the kindom. The kingdom is LITTERAL, a way of gorvenance that many long for even today. Another interesting thing we notice from the bible is that the kingdom of God is earthly! This is in stark contrast with the 'heaven' preached by Christians. It is something akin to Jehovah Witness message.A minor catch that still makes Jesus correct in dismissing the physical conquering as to be the 'kingdom of God' is that the idea of David-like kings was not in the original plan of Yahweh. This is clearly stated in Samwell. In requesting for a visible king, Jews were in effect rejecting the invisible God as their king. In other words, they were rejecting the Kingdom Of God! So to espect the messiah to be a David-like King was totally mistaken! The kindom of God is just that, God, not men is the invisible king and Jesus was a man. This is what Jesus meant when he said no one will say 'there is the kingdom of God'.
