The Kingdom of God, as addressed by Jesus Christ, carries a profound significance that challenges common misunderstandings. When questioned by the Pharisees about when the Kingdom of God would come, He responded, "For indeed, the kingdom of God is among you." This statement, often mistranslated as "within you," more accurately means "in the midst of you" or "among you," as understood from the Greek term "entos" used with a plural noun. Addressing a crowd of Pharisees, His bitter enemies, He could not have meant that the Kingdom resided inside them. Instead, He, as the King and chief representative of God's Kingdom, declared that the Kingdom was present among them through His very presence. Further clarifying this, Jesus, as the living King of the Kingdom of God, embodied its essence, much like a monarch represents the state. He affirmed His kingship to Pilate, stating, "You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth." Thus, in telling the Pharisees that the Kingdom of God was among them, He essentially conveyed that He Himself was the embodiment of that Kingdom in their midst. Similarly, in another instance, He told the Pharisees, "But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you," indicating that His miraculous works testified to His role as the Kingdom's representative among them. Additionally, when sending out the seventy disciples to preach, He instructed them to say, "The kingdom of God has come near to you," referring not to physical proximity but to the nearness in time of the Kingdom's establishment. His broader teaching to His disciples about the Kingdom emphasized its future literal establishment at His second coming, a time marked by undeniable signs and conditions, reinforcing that the Kingdom among them was tied to His presence and the imminent reality of His return to set up a real, tangible government on earth.
