ItoNMlONAL siwrsoiooL Lesson (By O. 13. BUM.KHS. Director of Even ing Department Tlio Moody Hlble' Insti tute of CIllCURO.) LESSON FOR JUNE 7 COMING OF THE KINGDOM. LESSON TEXT-LuUe 1?!HK!7. GOLDEN TEXT-"Lo, tlio Kingdom ol God Is within you." Luko 17:21. I. The Kingdom Present, vv. 20, 21. Tho Pharisees held somo peculiar ideas about tho coming of tho king dom. Contrary to their Ideas there aro no special outward signs to herald Its coming. Tho word "observation" v. 20, is an nstronomlcnl ono and sug gests that tho kingdom was to como In a bodily shapd from tho sky, a cup rent expectation on tho part of the Pharisees. In answer to tho boastful Pharisees (v. 20) Jesus plainly told them that ho himself is tho kingdom, nnd that that kingdom was in tholr midst or "nmong you," seo (v. 21) margin. Their question wns a flippant one, one of unbollef, and to it Jesus makes n characteristically brief, but clear ro ply, that partook of the nnturo of n rebuke. Tho kingdom would not como with trumpets and drum.. They could not say, "Lo hero! lo there!" Its coming wns not to bo spectacular, arresting tho attention of somo who In turn brought it to the attention of others. Tho authorized rendering "within you" does not imply that tho kingdom already existed in tho indi vidual lives of his questioners. Sub sequent teaching of Jesus shows that ho hero refers to another and a final coming of tho kingdom, at tho tlmo of tho final coming of the son of man. What he desired to teach theso Phari sees was that the kingdom of which they spoko had already appeared duo to tho fact of his presenco in their midst. The carping Pharisees with draw and Jesus speaks openly to his disciples of the days that will come, a time of persecution when they will long for comfort. Prophecy Fulfilled. II. The Visible 8on of Man, w 22-24. The kingdom In its outward form was rejected by the JewB, John 1:26, 27. In its spiritual form It la now in the hearts of believers (Rom. 14:17), but ho who was rejected with contempt will one day be sought after, though in vain, Matt. 23:37.39. Dur ing tho time of his absence many shall claim to be Christ (v. 23), but we are not to believe such claims. His tory has abundantly proved and ful filled this prophecy. When ho really comes there will be a sudden publicity (v. 24), that shall flash from one cor ner to tho other of the heavens, Matt. 24:27; then "every eyo shall behold him." "So shall the son of man bo In his day." This Instruction Jesus gives to his disciples. Men shall search for him, a time whon ho shall not be present as ho then was. After the false ones will como a day of revelation when tho wholo heavens vlll reveal him and all will know it Finality of Event. III. The Day of the Son of Man, vv. 25-37. Before that day comes, how ever, ho must suffer and be rejected but following that rejection men will marry, carry on merchandising and merriment as In the days of Noab and those of Lot. In tho days of Noab and of Lot there came a sudden bait In theso activities and a Judgment ol flood and' fire, eveno "after tho same manner shall it be In the day that the eon of man Is revealed," v. 30. This refers to tho finality of events when the kingdom of God cornea by way of Judgment Hero Jesus seta his seal upon the truthfulness of these two events which preceded hlB first ad Tent. If they be-not true then ho la a false teacher. Llko as men dis credit those events they llkewlso would set aside his teaching about his sec ond advent Many claim that verso 31 refers to the destruction of Jeru salem; the context to ua clearly dis proves any such interpretation. Verses 82 and 33 must be taken to gether. Summary. Quite emphatically this passage 1b a teaching on the subject of tho coming of the kingdom of God. That kingdom came when Christ came in grace. It will come when he comes In Judgment It Is coming constantly between the two adventB. Remember his reading of Isaiah's prophocy, Luko 4:18, 19; cf. Isa. 61:1-9. In his first advent he did come to. preach the ac ceptable year, the year of grace. That day Is still with us. In his second advont ho will proclaim tho day of the vengeance of God. He will establish tho kingdom, will build the waste places and ralso desolations. Today tho kingdom of God 1b among us in power through tho presenco of Christ by tho spirit In tho living church. To tho Pharisees ho said: "Neither shall they say, lo hero! lo there! for tho kingdom Is In your midst." To his disciples he said: "They shall Bay lo there! lo hero! go not away nor follow them." Wo cannot locallzo tho kingdom. On nn ancient Syrian frag ment tho words of Luko 1:33 read, "and to his kingdom there shall be no frontier." On the lips of tho Phari sees, kingdom meant a political or ganlzatlon and emplro. With Jesus it means a spiritual realm universal in extent, a rulo of righteousness, and peace and Joy In tho Holy Spirit When be appears all will know.' "Hard Luck" 8tory. A Washington clubman is firmly convinced that tho fntes aro ngainst him, especially with referenco to his golf playing. "It's no use,"' he said to n friend, "I can't 'lift tho hoodoo.'
