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 nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you.”

Introduction
Where is The Kingdom of God? This book is written with the intent to deepen and enhance the understanding of this topic. The title of this book is from the following scripture;
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 nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you." (Luke 17:21) NKJV
The Kingdom of God and Jesus
We should understand that the Kingdom of God is not of this world.
³⁶ Then Jesus answered, "I am not an earthly king. If I were, my followers would have fought when I was arrested by the Jewish leaders. But my Kingdom is not of this world (John 18:34).
The Kingdom of God, should be understood as a spiritual kingdom, not an earthly kingdom. So then, is this Kingdom citizenship available to anyone? The answer is yes. No matter what type of rejection a person may have had in their past, they are still able to be a citizen of the Kingdom of God. So then, we can understand the following scripture:
⁹ that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. ¹⁰ For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. (Romans 10: 9-10)
Now then, when we understand that all a person has to do is "believe in their heart and confess with their mouth the Jesus is Lord and they will be saved. The understanding of this relationship (salvation and belief) is manifest with the arrival of Jesus and The restoration of the availability for anyone to enter Kingdom of God. These two events can be looked as a duality (or if you prefer, two sides of the same coin).
Summary
The following quote is very appropriate.
We must alter our lives in order to alter our hearts, for it is impossible to live one way and pray another. If you have not chosen the kingdom of God first, it will in the end make no difference what you have chosen instead.
William Law
Chapter 1- The Kingdom of God
Here is the definition of KINGDOM OF GOD, KINGDOM OF HEAVEN
"KINGDOM OF GOD, KINGDOM OF HEAVEN — God’s rule of grace in the world, a future period foretold by the prophets of the Old Testament and identified by Jesus as beginning with His public ministry. The Kingdom of Heaven is the experience of blessedness, like that of the Garden of Eden, where evil is fully overcome and where those who live in the kingdom know only happiness, peace, and joy. This was the main expectation of the Old Testament prophets about the future.
John the Baptist astonished his hearers when he announced that this expected and hoped-for kingdom was at hand
in the person of Jesus (Matt. 3:2). Jesus repeated this message (Matt. 4:17; Mark 1:15), but He went even further by announcing clearly that the kingdom was already present in His ministry: If I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, surely The Kingdom of Heaven has come upon you
(Matt. 12:28). Jesus was the full embodiment of the kingdom.
The entire ministry of Jesus is understood in relation to this important declaration of the presence of the kingdom. His ethical teachings, for example, cannot be understood apart from the announcement of the kingdom. They are ethics of the kingdom; the perfection to which they point makes no sense apart from the present experience of the kingdom. Participation in the new reality of the kingdom involves a follower of Jesus in a call to the highest righteousness (Matt. 5:20).
The acts and deeds of Jesus
