When were the high priests removed literally from their office? They may have been removed spiritually in 30 AD....but it took another 40 years for their apostate/corrupt system to be literally removed and buried forever.
LOL!!!! Show me in scripture where the high priests needed to be removed from office? I do not see that in the Scripture as a requirement! Their kingdom representative was already taken from them (the congregation) the moment Christ died on the Cross! It was the Jews, His people, who came against him. Their congregation has SPIRITUALLY lost their kingdom representative even if they repaired the torn veil, resume animal sacrifice, and high priest mind their business. They are spiritually blind, just like people like you who are looking for physical fulfillment.
Daniel 9:26 KJV
[26] And after threescore and two weeks shall
Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and
the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the
end of the war desolations are determined.
This is the
fall of Old Testament Congregation along with the death of the Messiah, their prince! And people of THAT prince being the Jews! The desolation has already been determined upon her when Christ spoke it?
Matthew 23:37-38 KJV
[37] O Jerusalem, Jerusalem,
thou that killest the prophets, and
stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
[38]
Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
The Jews in Christ's day did not kill the prophets, but they are part of Old Testament Congregation who is responsible for killing the old testament prophets. Christ has already declared this congregation to be desolate just as Daniel 9:26 declared!
But the next verse, Daniel 9:27, concerns the
New Testament Congregation whom Christ has confirmed a new Covenant with! Hello?! All of this took place at the Cross. The Old Testament Congregation fell, and the New Testament Congregation rise in Christ! And Christ already empowered His People at Pentecost to preach to Gospel. The New Testament Congregation was already born. NO need to wait for physical destruction of Jersualem which is absurd! Your position remains refuted.
