📚 Historical Context
In the first century, many Jews were eagerly awaiting a visible, earthly kingdom that would restore Israel's power and overthrow Roman rule. Jesus was responding to questions from his disciples about when and where this kingdom would appear, emphasizing that it wasn't about physical locations or signs. Instead, he taught that the kingdom is a spiritual reality present in the hearts of those who follow God.
