[22] J. Weiss, _Die Predigt Jesu vom Reiche Gottes_. Cf. also Wernle,
_Die Anfaenge unsurer Religion_, who is not so pronounced. Bousset
rejects this view, and Titius, in his _N. T. Doctrine of Blessedness_,
regards the kingdom of God as a present good. See also Moffatt, _The
Theology of the Gospels_.

[29] Our Lord never uses the word 'final' or 'last' of anything
concerning the kingdom. Only in the fourth Gospel do we find the phrase
'the last day.' See art., _Contemporary Review_, Sept. 1912.

[33] Mark xiii. 7-31 has been called the 'little Apocalypse' and the
hypothesis has been thrown out that a number of verses (fifteen in all)
form a document by themselves, 'a fly leaf put into circulation before
the fall of Jerusalem, and really incorporated by the Evangelist himself.
