Yes.This is why Jesus intimated that John the Baptist was the last prophet (Lk 16:16).
“Even now the axe is laid to the root of the trees,” the Baptist said.
Whatever prophecies of the Prophetic Age that the New Testament recounts were prophecies of the Jewish Age. No one - not even Jesus - foretold anything beyond the end of the age in 70
AD.
Yes.
He is in us, waiting to be revealed.....when we become like Him.
For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us"
"but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is."
"To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:"
I do not know Brother ...there is certainly a gospel being preached but it seems that in many locations it is a gospel coupled with the rights of man ..that is not the gospel of the Kingdom . In a Kingdom , I do not get a vote ..I would not get it right if I did ....No the Kingdom of God is a humble Kingdom ..with longsuffering and meekness .“And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come”
~ Jesus
The gospel is proclaimed throughout the world.
By biblical accounts, Jesus should have come by now.
Jesus said, “And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come” (Mt 24:14). In the first century, the Gospel was preached in all the nations (Rm 1:8; 16:26; Col 1:6, 23).
Jesus said that abounding lawlessness is another sign of the imminence of the end (Mt 24:12). In the first century, even before the end of the age, the mystery of lawlessness was already at work (2 Thes 2:7).
Israelites were anxious for Elijah’s return, for that was another sign of the end of the age (Mal 4:5-6). In the first century, Elijah returned (Mt 17:12).
Jesus said he would raise up a new temple within days of the current temple’s destruction (Jn 2:19). In the first century, the new temple was being raised (1 Pt 2:5).
Jesus said many false prophets would lead many astray (Mt 24:11). The New Testament canon is replete with such occurrences in the first century, such as Acts 5:36-37.
In the first century, prophecy seems to have been fulfilled. So where’s Jesus?
The reason for your confusion appears to be because your futurist hermeneutic demands an interpretation that Jesus and the apostles were wrong. Sorry but that's the way it is, I guess.
Don't you think it's a little bizarre that if the return of Christ took place in AD 70, that the early church fathers didn't mention it?

Put yourself in Jesus shoes for a minute.
The last time you show up here, you get rejected and nailed to a cross.
...Are you in a hurry to come back?

so currently there are too many witnesses, and too few that can do what the two witnesses can.Jesus will return three days and a half after his two witnesses die.
