History is moving toward a climactic end involving the day of the Lord, the resurrection of the dead, the judgment of the wicked (ending in gehenna), a cosmic renewal (new heavens and new earth), and the messianic kingdom (based in a glorified Jerusalem). The vast majority of Jesus’s sayings about the kingdom of God fit comfortably within this worldview. - John P. Harrigan, Signs of Jewish Zealotry in Luke 17.20-21
