Jesus shares about the kingdom of God to come in Luke 17:20-25 after the Pharisees asked him when it would come. Jesus responded to the Pharisees, "The kingdom of God does not come with your careful observation, nor will people say, 'Here it is,' or 'There it is,' because the kingdom of God is within you.
What exactly were the Pharisees hoping to see?
Jesus turned from addressing the Pharisees and said to his disciples, "The time is coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it. Men will tell you, 'There he is! or Here he is! Do not go running off after them."
How many false prophets through the centuries have people followed and laid their lives down?
Jesus said, "For the Son of Man in his day will be like the lightning which flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other."
As for lighting up the sky, I am reminded of the Song by The Afters, "Light Up The Sky." A link to the video is here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LQH6UDi15s
Jesus continues, "But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation."
Unfortunately, hasn't Jesus been rejected by many generations?
