Have you not read that in the last days the temple will be 'rebuilt'? Jesus says that the physical temple will be destroyed and that it will happen within 40 years in Matthew 24 and other places. He's not talking about his second coming there. He's talking about the end of the age. And the end of the age is not the 'Last Day.' He said that ALL of the thing he said would take place before that generation passed. So we know he couldn't have been talking about the end of the world.
I have repeatedly told you, and you have repeatedly ignored it, the last days and the kingdom of God, where ushered in when John the Baptist introduced the Lord Jesus Christ at the beginning of his earthly ministry. The "last days" end on the "last day" when the "kingdom of God" will be handed up by Christ to the Father. They cover the same era from start to finish!
Seriously? You don't see the prophecies of the 'last days' as talking about Christ?
Read what I say, not what do you think I say. You're not debating with a Premillennialist now. He did introduce the last days, he didn't merely arrive in those last days.
The last days were the days in which the prophecies were telling people the events would take place. The proof that they were in the last days were that the prophecies were coming to pass. So they were the marking of an end. Hence the term 'last days.' They marked an end of an age.
That is your opinion, but Scripture refutes that!
I have showed you how the end of the age is the resurrection of mankind and the second coming of Jesus. You have totally ignored it. I wonder why? Because it is so clear and explicit! Please address those several posts that you have carefully avoided.
So, he recognized that he lived in the last days, the ending of the old era.
Christ’s focus and His mission were to redeem His people. This was central to His Gospel message. He
You felt you had to be pedantic here because?
Look at you acknowledging the end of something here. What are the last days except the period when the old something ended?
It is simple: the last day will end the last days.
So the old covenant was nailed to the cross in the 'last days.'
Yes, during the new covenant era, the kingdom age, which we are still in.
AD 70 just marks the end of the grace period. I don't know what a preterist is and I don't care to know. Another man-made epithet and doctrine for those who like to associate themselves with man-made labels.
Jesus did not need Titus' help to complete the new covenant. He did it devoid of man's help. AD70 is merely the consequence of rejecting Christ. While the apparatus took 40 years to dismantle, the old covenant was long gone, and the new covenant was active for 40 years. The two covenants did not run simultaneous.
Exactly correct in my opinion.
You felt the need to repeat this because?
Agreed.
Again, agreed.
You keep repeating this as if it is relevant to what I'm saying. You do realize, all you're doing is making yourself look foolish?
And again.... and then more stuff we agree on. This is beginning to look like an attempt to change the subject. I don't think you've actually been reading my responses given that you keep posting things about which we agree. Why?
These all prove that the cross was when the new covenant ended!
