The Kingdom of God is like a heavy tremor you feel from a terrifying earthquake occurring in a distant land. You can’t tangibly see its catastrophic occurrence, but you feel the shaking of the ground beneath you and the wobbling of the concrete buildings you’re in.

It leaves you bewildered and wondering, because you know something has effected a shift in the scheme of things. And yet, when you try to point your finger at exactly what has shifted, you realise you can’t even begin to define what has happened. You just know it’s there because you experience its effect, but it’s so profound that no economy of words can do justice to its reality.

The Kingdom of God is intrusive and comes without warning. It’s one of those things in life that happens as an inevitable, much like an unexpected earthquake. And yet, the coming of the Kingdom is not so much a catastrophe for some as it is for many others.

One thing is for sure - the coming of the Kingdom of God rocks you. Sometimes it rocks you so hard you wish you could stay out of its reach. It rocks so vehemently to demolish all the monuments and empires you’ve ever built for yourself in this life. When it’ll ever stop, there’s no saying.

But for now, it has come… and it’ll keep coming. And you can’t run away from it.
