Luke 17:20-21 Part 2 of 2

One day the Pharisees asked Jesus, "When will the Kingdom of God come?" Jesus replied, "The Kingdom of God can't be detected by visible signs. You won't be able to say, 'Here it is!' or 'It's over there!' For the Kingdom of God is already among you."

Mark 10:14-15  When Jesus saw what was happening, he was angry with his disciples. He said to them. "Let the children come to me. Don't stop them! For the Kingdom of God belongs to those who are like these children. I tell you the truth anyone who doesn't receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never enter it." (see verses 13-16)
Mark 12:34  Realizing how much the man understood, Jesus said to him, "You are not far from the Kingdom of God." And after that, no one dared to ask him any more questions. (see verses 28-34)
Luke 21:31  "In the same way, when you see all these things taking place, you can know that the Kingdom of God is near." (see verses 5-36)
John 3:3-6  Jesus replied, "I tell you the truth, unless you are born again, you cannot see the Kingdom of God."  "What do you mean?" exclaimed Nicodemus. "How can an old man go back into his mother's womb and be born again?" Jesus replied, "I assure you, no one can enter the Kingdom of God without being born of water and the Spirit. Humans can reproduce only human life, but the Holy Spirit gives birth to spiritual life." (see verses 1-21)
Romans 14:17  For the Kingdom of God is not a matter of what we eat or drink, but of living a life of goodness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. (see chapter 4)
1 Corinthians 4:20  For the Kingdom of God is not just a lot of talk; it is living by God's power. (see verses 18-21) 
Revelation 5:9-10  And they sang a new song with these words: "You are worthy to take the scroll and break its seals and open it. For you were slaughtered, and your blood has ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation. And you have caused them to become a Kingdom of priests for our God. And they will reign on the earth." (see chapter 5)
Revelation 11:15  Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices shouting in heaven: "The world has now become the Kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he will reign forever and ever." (see verses 15-19)
