Luke 17: 20-21 (NIV) Once, having been asked by the Pharisees when the
kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, "The kingdom of God does not come
with your careful observation, nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There
it is,’ because the kingdom of God is within you."
The Pharisees who Jesus was speaking with are the televangelists/left
behinders/evangelicals of today who would rather live with a dream of a pie in
the sky than face earthly reality.
Not unlike this OT passage:
Psalm 46:10-11 (NIV) "Be still, and know that I am God; I will be
exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth." The Lord
Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.
