       THE DISCIPLES WERE LOOKING FOR A PHYSICAL KINGDOM NOT A
       SPIRITUAL KINGDOM

       [Luke 19:11 KJV] "And as they heard these things, he added and
       spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because
       they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately
       appear."..........This verse lays to rest the idea that Jesus
       talked about a spiritual kingdom........[Luke 17:21 KJV]
       "Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the
       kingdom of God is within you."..........They were looking for a
       physical kingdom which was the prophetic Davidic kingdom in
       which Christ would reign for a thousand years. They wouldn't be
       looking for a physical kingdom if they already had the kingdom
       within.
       [Luke 19:12 KJV] "He said therefore, A certain nobleman went
       into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to
       return."........The nobleman, which pictures Christ, goes away
       to receive the kingdom at his return. Here Jesus was telling the
       disciples the kingdom wouldn't immediately appear, the kingdom
       would be delayed.
