"Did
Jesus come in AD 70?" - a man asked rhetorically.
Answer: He
most certainly did come in judgment upon Israel...
Matthew 24
29
Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and
the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and
the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30
And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all
the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the
clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
That's
"the day of the LORD" prophesied so often against Israel in the OT.
For
example:
Isaiah 2
1
The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem...12
For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and
lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low:
Amos
5
1
Hear ye this word which I take up against you, even a lamentation, O house of
Israel...18 Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for
you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light...19 As if a man did flee
from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on
the wall, and a serpent bit him... 20 Shall not the day of the LORD be
darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?... 21 I hate,
I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies.
Zepheniah 1
1
The word of the LORD which came unto Zephaniah the son of Cushi, the son of
Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hizkiah, in the days of Josiah the son
of Amon, king of Judah...
14
The great day of the LORD is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice
of the day of the LORD: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly.
The
LORD God is finished with the old covenant theocratic Israel!
Those who hope for the restoration of geriatric Israel are not only deluded and deceived, but shall be very disappointed.
The
same man challenged rhetorically:
~~ Explain
Isaiah 11:12? He will raise a signal for the nations and will assemble the
banished of Israel, and gather the dispersed of Judah. ~~
Mt
24:31
"And
he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather
together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the
other."
"...
they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of
heaven to the other."
Acts
1
1
And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in
one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty
wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 3 And there appeared
unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. 4 And
they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other
tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. 5 And there were dwelling at
Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.
"...
And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, OUT OF EVERY NATION
UNDER HEAVEN."
Mt
24:14
14
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness
unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
This
speaks of the gospel preached to the Jews scattered in all nations as a
witness, and Israel, the old covenant theocratic nation SHALL END... i.e in
70AD.
"End"
signifies "the limit," either at which a person or thing ceases to be
what he or it was up to that point.
The
GERIATRIC Israel had been folded up and destroyed for good, CEASED TO BE. There
is no more place for anything representing the old covenant, or will the old
ever be revived!
But many love FABLES.
