Until you take a second look at the error the Jewish people made
you will not see the kingdom

Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

he departed again into a mountain himself alone.
Christ's kingdom is not OF</b. this world but it is IN this world.
John 8:23 And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath;
I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.
John 18:36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world:
if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight,
that I should not be delivered to the Jews:
but now is my kingdom not from hence.
The Jew made an error of looking for another King David
to conquor the world but David was not allowed to build the temple.
