The great King, the long-expected Messiah, had entered into the world and He was establishing His kingdom. And when His kingdom comes, the blessing comes, and we expect also that all evil will fall before Him. It turned out that the expectation and the reality seemed to have this dissonance that is to say Jesus was indeed doing great and wonderful things, but the great evil dictator still remained in the world and a great many people were disappointed.

What Jesus was trying to tell the people is that the kingdom of God would come in a way that they weren’t expecting. The Parable of the Weeds in Matthew 13 provides us with an understanding of the Kingdom of Heaven in the present hour.
