" "...give me one example..." As I said before, please show me one Scripture that shows an Apostle waiting for the Kingdom of God. The Scriptures you have provided show no such thing. On the contrary, they prove just the opposite. I Cor 4:8 Now ye are full, now ye are rich, ye have reigned as kings without us: and I would to God ye did reign, that we also might reign with you. ----------------- Rev 12:10, 12 10: And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. 11: And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. 12: Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. ------------------ 2Pe.3:3,4 "Knowing this first, that there should come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts [RS, following their own passions; LB, laugh at the truth.] And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation." These verses show the unbelievers scoffing at the Christians for believing in the Kingdom of God in their hearts. Since the non-believers cannot see the Kingdom with their eyes they assume that it has not come. It proves jus the opposite of what you are trying to prove. --------------------- zIn fact, Daniel's prophecies tell us the time period when the Kingdom would establish itself. These prophecies are quickly understood when we use the Bible to unlock their meaning. The prophecies clearly point to a real tangible government." Daniel has nothing to do with showing me one example of the Apostle's waiting for the Kingdom of God. The Kingdom that Daniel is talking about is the Kingdom of God established in Christian hearts and the Christian Church (all believers as a whole) slowly supernatural, with love, mercy, justice and humility, crushing all man-made kingdoms. Here is the verse from Daniel 2;44 44: And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. This is the Kingdom of God that Jesus setup by writing his laws on people's hearts and putting them in people's mind and by borning them again through faith in Christ and then filling them with the Holy Spirit. This is the Kingdom of God in men. I pray that Jesus will open your heart and mind to the reality of the Kingdom of God in your life. All honor and glory and power belong to the Lamb. He has done all things perfectly. He has established a Kingdom of Christians for His Father. May the love of Christ abound in our hearts.
