You wrote,[..the Kingdom of God... is.. at hand...].
Yes , I believe that it is, for it has been revealed to me that I was once in the kingdom of heaven before I was born on the earth and that I will return there.
I remember the green valleys and the still, clear waters. And I remember the clear skies and an Almighty love. I remember the lilies of the field and the birds that filled the air with laughter and singing. And I remember that day when all the trees in the fields claped their hands. And I remember the mountain tops that broke forth through the white clouds.
The dark clouds are here now in this life. The waters are dark and rushing, there is darkness over the land. But I will return to the kingdom of heaven. I will see the clear waters. I will see the green valleys and sing and laugh with the birds in the air. I will see the lilies of the field. I will return to the Almighty love. I will return to the mountiantop and my eyes will see the comming of the glory of the lord.
