You mean the present condition of the world is fulfillment of the prophecy that the Kingdom of God has come? Please be specific.

"From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, 'Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.' (Matt. 4:17)

"But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you." (Matt. 12:28)

"Another parable He put forth to them, saying: 'The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field, which indeed is the least of all the seeds; but when it is grown it is greater than the herbs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches.' " (Matt. 13:31,32)

That was easy. Now take a crack at mine.

The parable of the mustard seed and the leaven are not positive with regards to the church but speak of apostasy and false teachings becoming rampant.

Not so fast there big fellow. Two of your citations have a future sense and a progressive sense so that there can be the ebb and flow of history, much like the State of Israel. Why do you fix Israel's position today as if this was the fulfillment of prophecy and not a progressive history like you do the Kingdom of God?
