GOD IS THOUGHT
(Luke 17:20,21)  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! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

(Luke 17:20,21)  And when he [Jesus] was demanded [strong connotations of insistent commands] of the Pharisees [unsaved unbelievers], when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation [Gk: ocular evidence] [1]:  Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within [Gk: inside] you  [2,3].
1.    (2 Cor 5:7)  (For we walk by faith [Gk: belief] [in “the invisible God” Col 1:15], not by sight:)
2.    (John 7:37-39)  In the last day, that great day of the feast [of tabernacles], Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink [(of the water of my words, i.e., my thoughts)].  He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly [i.e., out of his insides. A statement signifying it was previously “in his belly”] shall flow rivers of living water.  (But this [“flow”] spake he of the Spirit [of God], which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost [the Holy Spirit of God] was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified [not yet dead, resurrected, and glorified in Heaven].)
3.    Commentary: But how can the body of unbelieving Pharisees and the believing us contain “the kingdom of God”? Answer: because all humans are fallen angels.

GOD IS THE TREASURE HID IN A FIELD
(Matt 13:44) Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.

(Matt 13:44)  Again, the kingdom of heaven [interchangeable with “the kingdom of God” (Matt 19:23,24)] is like unto treasure [like a spiritual kingdom analogous to a 6th dimension, i.e., another unperceived invisible world, ref. to 2 Sam 21:20] hid [Gk: concealed (by covering)] in a field [“the field is the world” Matt 13:38]; the which when a man hath found [by seeking, by digging down into the covering dirt of his earthly thoughts, through introspection (syn: self-examination, meditation, self-analysis, contemplation, soul-searching)], he hideth [1,2], and for joy [Gk: cheerfulness, delight: gladness, exceedingly joyful] thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath [sacrifices all his earthly life-style], and buyeth [with his total commitment as the purchase price for] that field [for that newly perceived spiritual field (world) of the kingdom of heaven/God].
1.    (Luke 8:9,10)  And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be [Gk: (symbolically) a fictitious narrative of common life conveying a moral: comparison]?  And he said, Unto you it is given to know [Gk: understand] the mysteries of the kingdom of God [the kingdom of heaven]: but to others [unsaved people] in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.
2.    (Matt 13:15)  For this people's heart is waxed gross [Gk: thickened, rendered callous], and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted [Gk: revert: return], and I should heal [Gk: cure: make whole] them.


Amen
