"God's kingdom will be taken back from you and handed over to a people who will live out a kingdom life."
While Jordan is absolutely right, Jesus gives it to the Pharisees today (every time he mentions hell, it's in response to them too). Since they seem set on inequality, he tells two parables about them: The Stories of Two Sons and the Greedy Farmhands.
The prophets and Jesus himself were killed, because the religious leaders are trying to keep the lid on things.
As God's Spirit continues to blow in our midst, will we instead be like the children, furnishing a place of praise? Notice how much emphasis there is today on prayer, on simple trust in God to do amazing things.
One thing is certain: if we live a kingdom life, God will be in control, not us.
