Mar 1:14 Now after John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God,
Mar 1:15 and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe in the gospel.
Fulfilled:G4137
πληρόω
plēroō
play-ro'-o
From G4134; to make replete, that is, (literally) to cram (a net), level up (a hollow), or (figuratively) to furnish (or imbue, diffuse, influence), satisfy, execute (an office), finish (a period or task), verify (or coincide with a prediction), etc.: - accomplish, X after, (be) complete, end, expire, fill (up), fulfil, (be, make) full (come), fully preach, perfect, supply.
Webster says: to meet the requirements of (a business order); to bring to an end
At Hand:G1448
ἐγγίζω
eggizō
eng-id'-zo
From G1451; to make near, that is, (reflexively) approach: - approach, be at hand, come (draw) near, be (come, draw) nigh
Webster says:1 : near in time or place : within reach
2 : currently receiving or deserving attention
So appears a timeline that is unbroken and without a gap:
Mat 11:12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and men of violence take it by force.
Mat 11:13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
The time of the law of sin and death came to an end with John the Baptist because it had expired. Immediately the Kingdom of God and the law of the Spirit of Life in Christ came with Christ "the Anointing." We now live in Christ, Christ is alive in us and we can experience the Kingdom of God TODAY!!
