Luke 19:11 And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.
The kingdom of God consists of two kingdoms; the kingdom of heaven and the heavenly kingdom.
The kingdom of heaven is the prophetic, Davidic kingdom on earth: Israel is promised to rule and regin with Christ a thousand years. The heavenly kingdom is given to the body of Christ in this dispensation of grace. The heavenly kingdom is in heavenly places. Revelation 20:6 Revelation 5:10 2 Timothy 4:18 Ephesians 1:3
They thought that the kingdom of God should appear. They were near Jerusalem, in the land. They were standing in a physical environment. They expected to be able to see this kingdom by it's visible, tangible appearance. The kingdom they were looking for, if it would appear, would have to be a physical kingdom, a kingdom on earth.
They were expecting the kingdom of heaven on earth.
