Is this a question about what Jesus thought?

Wow, that is a very curious question … especially in light of 21st Century humans “attempting” to answer it.

yeah kind of curious, but why do you say that?

A lot of us who read Dr. Ehrman’s works agree that Jesus had an apocalyptic ‘worldview’; ie he thought the Kingdom of God was  coming real soon as in his lifetime or at least the lifetime of many of his contemporaries. 

so how different from the present world did he expect the Kingdom of God world world to be?  

Didn’t/wouldn’t his disciples have expected some kind of extraordinary change coming? otherwise why did they give up their prior way of life.
