The Word of God, the second person of the Holy Trinity, entered the heart of the world, sanctified it, and made it live in a new era or a new age, the age of the Kingdom of God. The Lord Himself confirmed that the Kingdom of God does not pertain to the future alone, but that the believing Christian lives in it from now on. But the present time is different from the comprehensive Kingdom of God, and is only a picture or introduction to it. The Kingdom will shine in its full glory in the last times, at the coming of the Lord.
