Huh?!?

Acts 1 Truncated to show a scriptural point... Acts 1:6 So when they had come together, they asked Him, “Lord, are You restoring the kingdom to Israel at this time?” 7 He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or periods that the Father has set by His own authority.... (No one knows the day nor the Hour)... 9 After He had said this, He was taken up ....., and suddenly two men in white clothes stood by them. 11 They said, This Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come in the same way that you have seen Him going into heaven.” ......12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called the Mount of Olives, which is near Jerusalem—a Sabbath day’s journey away.

So, You're asserting that the Son of God is physically walking on this earth... as in the Gospels... Right now?

He has SUPERMAN LANDED back onto the Mount of Olives.... Just as the Angel's promised? Zechariah 14:4 has happened? Are you sure you want to die on that hill?

I'm not increasing font to express emotion, but I am trying to ensure the scripture is read that I am emphasizing. I want to ensure that it is known that I am using the font size to emphasize a scriptural point, like highlighting it... not expressing emotion with font size.
I don’t need it increased.

The disciples literally ask when Israel will be RESTORED... and Jesus binds their question to (No man knows the Day nor the Hour)..... and you're saying the DESTRUCTION of Jerusalem... "Restored" Literal Israel... as the Disciples had the same giant Jewish noses that I have... and knew of the Messianic Prophecy that God would RESTORE Literal Israel? You do know that Jews to this day reject Jesus because He didn't restore Literal Israel, as it is a very specific prophecy that the Messiah WILL fulfill?
I disagree. But that can be discussed elsewhere.

I have horrible eyesight. Do you prefer the default font and emboldening or underling or color? Sorry, I assume that everyone is as blind as me.

I will respect this, but in my opinion, what I believe to be Cauvin's abuse of the genuine reading of Romans 9 is indeed the issue of our disagreement. Preterism and all the sorts has sprung forth from it. We will no longer discuss this. I will bow out, because we now see where our differing views spring from. I will leave this thought provoking discussion with this single thought. If two siblings in Jesus meet and disagree over scripture, they are iron sharpening iron. What does it mean if two siblings in Jesus meet and disagree over scripture that is amended by doctrines of man?

And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to keep all that I commanded you; and behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
— Matthew 28:18-20

Hopefully this clears up the confusion that Satan is currently running things.
I believe the confusion lies in the fact that the devil is running so very much in the world today. This is evidenced in Scripture and displayed on the nightly news.

I believe 100% that God has all authority. I also 100% believe that His authority is very seldom demonstrated on the Earth today.

When Jesus called the Pharisees Sons of the Devil’s and ripped out Matthew 23 on them… was He declaring that every square inch of the Pharisees was His?

I counter Argue that there is only one fragment of Land on this Planet that God designated (Keepsies) to. It’s Real. In this current Gospel age of Gentiles. Incidentally… by Romans 11, declaring the time of the gentiles complete, closes the Gentile gospel time, per Christ and Paul’s words.

Satan is Greedy, in declarations. God’s first advent, which occurred in Person, was His release of the Spiritual Realm from Satans oppression. His Second advent will be the release of the Physical Realm from Satans disobedience.

Israel is real… and it’s relevant because other than Zion of Jacob, you won’t find God echoing that quote in the way that you are intending it.

This is my opinion.

I think that you are removing that from its intended contextual point… as you assert this train wreck is Gods physical Kingdom.

God is not an Author of Confusion..

The Body of Christ is currently God’s Kingdom. The King, very obviously, hasn’t exercised His DOMINION (Authority) over the Physical earth…… YET.

You say Zechariah 14 has happened… but it hasn’t…

If you read the rest, it’s obvious.

Zach 14:
This is the plague with which the Lord will strike all the nations that fought against Jerusalem: Their flesh will rot while they are still standing on their feet, their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths. 13 On that day people will be stricken by the Lord with great panic. They will seize each other by the hand and attack one another.14 Judah too will fight at Jerusalem. The wealth of all the surrounding nations will be collected—great quantities of gold and silver and clothing. 15 A similar plague will strike the horses and mules, the camels and donkeys, and all the animals in those camps.

16 Then the survivors from all the nations that have attacked Jerusalem will go up year after year to worshipthe King, the Lord Almighty, and to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles.17 If any of the peoples of the earth do not go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord Almighty, they will have no rain. 18 If the Egyptian people do not go up and take part, they will have no rain. The Lord[b] will bring on them the plague he inflicts on the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles. 19 This will be the punishment of Egypt and the punishment of all the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles.
20 On that day holy to the Lord will be inscribed on the bells of the horses, and the cooking pots in the Lord’s house will be like the sacred bowls in front of the altar. 21 Every pot in Jerusalem and Judah will be holy to the Lord Almighty, and all who come to sacrifice will take some of the pots and cook in them. And on that daythere will no longer be a Canaanite[c] in the house of the Lord Almighty.

God has never stopped exercising His authority.
Having Authority and applying it are two different things.

God Has exercised His authority off and on from Genesis to Jude…. But all Revelation related DAY OF THE LORD PROPHECIES haven’t occurred yet. This is obvious!

Jesus has authority from His Father. If He isn’t applying it, then He’s irresponsible and untrustworthy.

So, Per your assertion, The Lord God Almighty is “Irresponsible” for NOT micromanaging humanity… and is thus Untrustworthy?!?
