Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Essays on the Coming of the Kingdom of God For behold the kingdom of God is within you. - Luke 17: 21. The whole passage runs thus: "And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said: The kingdom of God cometh not with observation; neither shall they say Lo! here; orLo! there; for behold the kingdom of God is within you." Upon this passage Mr. Fry remarks: "I confess after all that has been written in explanation of this passage, some difficulty remains. I cannot think with Dr. M´Knight, Christ meant to correct the mistaken notions of the Pharisees, respecting the nature of the Messiah´s kingdom - that it was not to consist of an outward form of government to be erected in that particular country; because we do not know that in their conception of the grand outline of the predicted kingdom, they were mistaken; and notwithstanding what Dr. Campbell has said in his note, I cannot conceive that in speaking of his kingdom, as the development of a holy and vital principle in the hearts of men, he would say to the Pharisees when addressing them distinct from his disciples: "The kingdom of God is within you." The translation of "among you," Dr. Campbell has very properly discountenanced. "I incline to a much more simple interpretation of the passage. The Pharisees mean to ask concerning the glorious kingdom of the Messiah, and our Lord in his answer meets that question," &c, Mr. Fry might have added, that the stress of the question lies upon the word when. The Pharisees could not have doubted that it was the purpose of God to establish a kingdom, although they did call in question our Lord´s claim to be the Messiah and the king of that kingdom. If the question be considered in connexion with our Lord´s preaching, and that of his disciples, or with that of John the Baptist, it will be seen, that the mere fact of asking the question, was virtually a denial of the truth of our Lord´s doctrine.
