"Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said,"The kingdom of God does not come with observation; nor will they say, 'See here!' or 'See there!'For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you." Luke 17:20-21

Years ago I read The Late, Great Planet Earth and was whisked up in the whole "rapture is imminent" movement. I still believe that to be true but I also believe it could be a long way off. It sounds dichotomous, doesn't it? I simply mean that no one knows when Christ will return and as much as I like end-times prophecy (my book The Sign of the End could be described as The Late, Great Planet Earth meets The DaVinci Code) I find it to be not nearly as important to my Christian walk as knowing the simple truth of this passage from Luke. The Kingdom of God is not something that I wait and pray for, it is something I am to be living right now. I need to be a child of the Kingdom right now. That all comes with a caveat.
