Luke 17:21 (New American Standard Bible)
‘…..For behold, the kingdom of God is in your midst’
‘Kingdom of God’ is the reign of God at any given place- either in heaven or on the earth, at any given time- past, present or future. God’s reign is spread over all creation and at all times. It’s not limited to few people, or for a specific duration.
God’s reign is being constantly challenged after the fall of man. But God sent his only son Jesus Christ to redeem the Creation and re-establish His Kingdom.
On earth, the Kingdom manifests itself through the Church- the body of Christ. God’s reign on this earth is established through His people, the members of the Church.
