Bible prophecies

[GrandizerII]

The assumption is made in light of the theory proposed by several Bible scholars that Jesus was an apocalypticist preacher who preached that a physical kingdom of God would eventually be set up on earth in his days.

Specifically which Bible scholars? I'm interested to see what Biblical interpretation led to their theory.

Probably most famous of them would be Bart Ehrman. Historically, Albert Schweitzer.

If you're interested, try to locate a book titled Jesus: Apocalyptic Prophet of the New Millennium

And the context here is not a parable, but the explanation of the parable. Agree or disagree?

So? Context still matters whether it's outside of a parable or not. The phrase "sowed the good seed" is figurative within that context. Jesus himself in that explanation makes that clear.

"the good seed stands for the people of the kingdom"

and that's in the explanation itself.
