Eschatology

Jesus taught that the Kingdom of God had come, and that the Kingdom of God was coming. It has yet to come in its fullness, in its consummation. It is one Kingdom, he taught, in two stages. The first stage of the coming Kingdom of God is secret, and hidden in the hearts and minds of all who put their faith in him. The second stage of the coming of the Kingdom will be public, open, manifest, for all the world to see.
