20And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
21Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
21Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
22And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it.
23And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them.
24For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.
25But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation.
...
Luke 17:20-25.

Just like the Pharisees asked Jesus when would The Kingdom of God come, many today do likewise; Many gentiles, and most Jews still ask the same question: When will the Messiah come? Well, Jesus told the clerical leaders of His day that The Kingdom of God was "amongst them" in His presence. Jesus is the personification of The Kingdom of God. He walked and talked with them; Yet, they would not heed His words [But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation].
How many are rejecting Him, today? Are the Jews still looking for a sign? Are the gentiles still doubtful that Jesus is The Son of God? Read The Bible and find out. He is the Great "I AM".
