Didn't understand the last one. Isn't the kingdom in heaven?

“And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.” (Luke 17:20-21)

" Jesus said, "My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jewish leaders. But now my kingdom is from another place." " - John 18:36 NIV

" - John 18:36 NIV Well he’s talking about a spiritual kingdom? The kingdom of God is in us as in we can operate in Gods kingdom through the power of the Holy Ghost. He has given us power by His Spirit, what we bind on earth will be bound in heaven, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. He has given us endless springs of water to pour out on other people. Understand that when Jesus died and raised He made the Holy Ghost available to us and the kingdom to operate through us. “For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.” Romans 14:17

Another aspect of the Kingdom is seen in Matthew 8:11 - "I tell you, many will come from east and west and recline at table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven." In my mind the east and west part indicates that this means the Kingdom will be present on earth - i.e. the messianic age.
So the Kingdom is not of this world, and it is in our midst or within us, and someday it will be manifest throughout the earth.
