The Kingdom of God is not within us. Jesus said that the kingdom of God is in our midst. (Luke 17:21). It is the place where God's will is done and the power and authority of Christ is exercised over Satan and his evil host.

thank you, I hear everyones opinions and take it all to Daddy, PaPa Father, to hear what to say or not say, do or not do. Oh And I am not perfect at that, so I hear all, and do not dismantle anyone's opinion. I trust God to teach each of us personally and for me I know this, if it is not love and mercy given me, then it might not be God doing it, you think? I think

It's not realistic to think that Ezekiel 38/39 pertains to this time because there is really no way Israel could be invaded by massive armies. Israel would simply nuke them if they got close enough to threaten them.

Scoffield developed the idea of a pre-millennial fulfillment of Ezekiel 38/39 in the late 18th to early 19th century when warfare was completely different. Now wars are fought with planes, missiles and drones. And none of the invading countries listed in those chapters really has the capacity to muster a large standing army. Heck Russia can't even conquer Donbas after 3 years, so there's no way it could mobilize a large army to invade a country as far away as Israel. Plus Russia's not going to do that because 15% of Israel's population speaks Russian, and Russia is very protective of their people, even in other countries.
