Luke 17:20-22
20 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; 21 nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you.” 22 Then He said to the disciples, “The days will come when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it.
The kingdom is in us. It is not a thing to look for, just as our eternal life began at our regeneration. So why be so concerned with "end time signs" when we have it all within by the grace of God in Christ already? Of more concern is bearing witness to what He gave us already that others may see their own lack of absolute goodness, failure to please God by deeds alone, the need for God Himself to sinlessly take our just due, and grace in forgiveness to bring us into His kingdom forever?
