Very true! Its also possible to view Gospel of the Kingdom as being simultaneously : fulfilled before the foundation of the world (
Rev 13:8) (and hence the means by which Abraham was able to partake of the promises of God by faith and the means by which the Old Testament saints were saved -Ro 4;
Eph 4:8), as being fulfilled in the the ministry and life of Jesus (
Lk 4:21,
Lk 11:20) - and so fulfilled within the time frame of our lives, and as something that will be fulfilled when the Lord returns.
One could view this as being analagous to Salvation in the sense that: we were saved; we are being saved; and we will be saved in the Day of the Lord.
