Prepare the coming of kingdom of God

Luke 17:1-37
When your brother sins, rebuke him, and if the repents, forgive him, even forgive him seven time a day.
All of us are the servants of the Lord, so when we have done our missions, we done what was out duty. We are unworthy servants.  It is humble behavior and mind.
Were no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner? Where are the nine lepers whom Jesus has cleaned?
1.The kingdom of God is not coming with signs to be observed. For behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of you.
2.As the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one side to the other, so will the Son of Man be in his day.
3. Remember Lor's wife. On that day, do not come down to take goods in the house or turn back from field.
4. Whoever seeks to preserve his life will lost it, but whoever loses his life will keep it.
5.Where, Lord? Jesus said to them, "Where the corpse is, there the vultures禿鷹 will gather."
No amount of calculation can fix the time or place of Christ's return in judgment.
It will be plain for all to see - no secret.
And the world will be caught unprepared, as it was by the flood. Like the day of Noah and Lot, they were eating and drinking and marrying and being given in marriage, until the day destroyed them all.
Why?
The kingdom is already present in the person and work of Jesus. 'Among', not 'within', is the correct translation.
One will be taken and the other left, it means the judgement. Vultures gather means there are dead body, so vultures are the sign of kingdom of God is coming. The unbelievers are dead body in spirit.
The Lord doesn't want our gifts when He poured down his mercy on us, but we must express our appreciation to the Lord.
Have mercy to our borthers when he sins and he repents. Forgive him like Jesus forgives us.
How?
Behold and be aware of the kingdom of God is coming. This world will be caught unprepared. Do I have prepared it?
