Advent is a major anticipated event that has on the one hand arrived as per its depiction and, on the other hand, always arriving per its meaning. Each Gospel has its own unique style depicting the story of Advent. That style will manifest with some deviation throughout each Gospel and culminate in each story of the resurrection. Understanding the individual Gospel from literally the beginning, as in Advent, to then its finale, is the key to understanding that entire Gospel. Understanding how they all fit together is the key to understanding the kingdom.
