Jesus Christ, the Son of God, He IS the kingdom of God.

20 But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you. Lk. 11:20.

Now put on your thinking caps.

Do you see 'it?'
 
This can get interesting
John 14:16 kjv
16. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
17. Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

Luke 11:20 is a very progressive (changes/develops over/with time).

I have some comments as the thread develops.

I mentioned time. When is what you said relatively true? What has to happen first?
Or
What happens first, second, third?

Wassup Redneck. I'm a patriotic Hispanic whose blood runs Red, White, and Blue. Homegrown born and raised in the greatest nation on the face of the earth.

I post mostly to get people to THINK about what they were taught, what they read and listen to on TV and radio, to edumacate them in the things of God and this 'so-great salvation.'

I'm not sure what you are alluding to with TIME. can you enlighten me?

Thank you.
And for the Spanish-speaking members here that means, thank you.

Ok, so, we have two people trying to get the others to think. During the process we may run across our false information we were told. Hopefully we learn to recognize out bad history (time past).

God seems to have released information over time in different ways.

Hebrews 1:1 kjv
1. God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
2. Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
3. Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
4. Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.

Time:
1. Pre time -Eternity past
2. Creation before time - Light etc (days 1-3)
3. Day 4 - time was created. Judged by stars and our solar system.
4. 24 hour day creation
5. Pre law interaction between God and man
6. The flood Babel etc
7. The law of Moses
8. The prophets
9. Through God’s Son- Jesus
10. Through the Holy Spirit
11. Time will end (end times)
12 ternity future will begin

The list is not all inclusive. It is a redneck list that may need help from other forum members.

Romans 1:19-20 we learn through creation
Symbols

Each number down the list has information given in different ways.

Language is an issue we deal with. I guess Hebrew and Greek are the major Bible issues.

I speak redneck, biology, science, Bible - and regretfully - mechanics, electronics etc.

Our traditions tend to undo the Word of God

We study all the ways God spoke to us. Seeking to know God. Especially listening to his Son speaking on earth, and through the quickening Spirit Jesus became.

1 Corinthians 15:45 kjv
45. And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.

Revelation 3:20 kjv
20. Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.


James 1:5 kjv
5. If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

The only Spanish word I am studying lately is cascara. The peel on the coffee bean. The nutrients thrown away in processing coffee.

We throw away much of what we get over time from God.

Long winded I guess.

If I may, TIME was created in Genesis 1:1.
Period.
After that God restored and recreated.
Yes, I hold to the Gap.
And for good reason.

I asked put on your thinking caps.
Didn't bring yours, I see.

THINK!

If Jesus says that by His casting out devils with His Finger that the kingdom of God has come unto you what kingdom? Davidic? It was not in existence. There was no king. And King Herod was not a king despite the label.
A kingdom presumes a piece of land, borders, subjects, a court, and all the other traditional aspects of a kingdom. There was no kingdom when Jesus said these words and NO ONE was populating this kingdom. It was only Jesus.

Q: What is Jesus doing?
A: Casting out devils with the finger of God.
Thus, Jesus is saying He is God's Kingdom.

Strong: 'kingdom' in Luke 11:20....
from <G935> (basileus); properly royalty, i.e. (abstract) rule, or (concrete) a realm (literal or figurative).

God says what He means and means what He says.

Thinking cap, please.
