The Coming of the Kingdom

20 Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of God does not come with observation;
21 anor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, bthe kingdom of God is within you.”  
22 Then He said to the disciples, a“The days will come when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it.  
23 aAnd they will say to you, ‘Look here!’ or ‘Look there!’ Do not go after them or follow them.  
24 aFor as the lightning that flashes out of one part under heaven shines to the other part under heaven, so also the Son of Man will be in His day.  
25 aBut first He must suffer many things and be brejected by this generation.  
26 aAnd as it bwas in the cdays of dNoah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man:

Luke 17:22

The days—rather "Days."

will come—as in Luke 19:43, when, amidst calamities, etc., you will anxiously look for a deliverer, and deceivers will put themselves forward in this character.

one of the days of the Son of man—Himself again among them but for one day; as we say when all seems to be going wrong and the one person who could keep them right is removed [NEANDER in STIER, etc.]. "This is said to guard against the mistake of supposing that His visible presence would accompany the manifestation and establishment of His kingdom" [WEBSTER and WILKINSON].



Luke 17:20-25

COMING OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND OF THE SON OF MAN. (Luke 17:20-37)

when, etc.—To meet the erroneous views not only of the Pharisees, but of the disciples themselves, our Lord addresses both, announcing the coming of the kingdom under different aspects.

It cometh not with observation—with watching or lying in wait, as for something outwardly imposing and at once revealing itself.
