When Christ began his ministry nearly 2000 years ago in Galilee, dwelling in Capernaum, he said, "… Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." [Mat. 4:17]. What did he mean? How could the kingdom of heaven, or of God be at hand if 2000 years later his kingdom is not here yet? Might it not be more accurate to say, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is only a couple thousand years away!” Actually, Christ was absolutely correct in what he said.
