The Kingdom is within us, by that we mean that our nature, our humanity, has been restored to its former state. When Christ said to repent, for the kingdom is at hand...it was already there from the foundation of the world. He of course meant that the final act or the realization of that long-prophesied event was near. Indeed, the prophets foresaw and understood and were even saved by the sacrifice of Christ before it even happened.
Remember that time is the measurement of heavenly objects (sun, moon, etc). God created these and is therefore outside of time and eternal. Our redemption extends to those born before and after the Messiah, and surely to Adam and Eve themselves.
