The Jews having refused their king, the kingdom was not set up in manifestation at that time. In the meanwhile, it is “the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ” (Rev. 1:99I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ. (Revelation 1:9)). Christ is represented as having gone to receive a kingdom and to return (Luke 19:1212He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. (Luke 19:12)). In the meantime, the kingdom has been produced and goes on in its mysterious form (Matt. 13:1111He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. (Matthew 13:11)). There are multitudes who profess obedience to God and to the Lord Jesus and who look to heaven as the throne from whence come all their blessings. From the Concise Bible Dictionary
