John had access to the sacred writings, just as others did in his time, and we do today. He was well aware of the books of the prophets as he himself was a figure of prophecy given before his own time. Knowing what the Kingdom was and what it would do John spoke about the Kingdom in harmony with the scriptures (Daniel 2:44) IN the book of Daniel the Kingdom is described as an invading power that would conqure this worlds kingdoms and crush them forever. This would be done in a war know as the Armaggedon.
Jesus, the appointed/chosen King of said Kingdom, while on earth made statements that the 'Kingdom has drawn near' or that the 'Kingdom is among you' or in your midst. The meaning of these statements are clear when one understands what the Kingdom will do. For a brief over view: Heal the sick, give divine wisdom, feed the hungry, raise the dead, and never be over thrown. When one of the other Kings of that kingdom came near and performed one of these miracles, such as Jesus or his apostles did, it was as if they were given a preview of that future Kingdom, and thus in this way the Kingdom was near at that time.
