So all of this has come out of, even though it’s a caricature of this great eschatological concept of the kingdom of Heaven as something up there, and something that deals with futurity.

But what did Jesus have to say about it? All of this has come about as a result of the religion about Jesus. Rarely do we hear the words of Jesus relative to this, because he was very clear. He made no bones about it. In the 17th chapter of Luke and being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God cometh, he answered, “The kingdom of God cometh not with observation.” In other words, you don’t see it. “The kingdom of God cometh not with observation, neither shall they say lo here or lo there, for lo the kingdom of God is within you.”
