Lessons on the Coming Kingdom, Luke 17:20-37

Free Bible Study: The Harmony of the Gospels
The Life of Christ as reported by the four Gospel writers.


Date: AD 29
Location: Samaria, Galilee
Today’s Lesson: Lessons on the Coming Kingdom
Scripture: Luke 17:20-37

Description:
The Pharisees and their many followers were looking forward to the arrival of an outward, earthly, visible kingdom, one in which the Jews would occupy a very prominent place.  They were hardly able to wait for its arrival.  They were so anxious to know when it would be established that they were willing to obtain information with respect to this subject from any source whatever…even Jesus.   By this time in Jesus’ ministry the Pharisees had rejected His main message of the gospel, but they were still curious—as many people are even today—to know His opinion about the timetable of the kingdom.
