Isn’t it amazing that Jesus came
YES it IS!
As stated in
Matthew 21:40-45, the Lord of the Vineyard came to the apostate leaders of first-century Israel and was The Stone that crushed them to powder, removing the Kingdom of God from them and giving it to a new Nation. Jesus Christ, the Lord of heaven and earth, came in the glory of the Father and did so in the lifetimes of the apostles, exactly as he promised (Matt 16:27-28; 24:33-34).
Amazing History.
raptured the church, set up His millennial kingdom
Your interpretations of The "rapture" and "Millennial Kingdom" are unbiblical.
According to my Bible,
Satan was cast out, judged, spoiled and bound by Jesus Christ's Earthly Ministry:
John 12:31
Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
1 John 3:8
For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
Hebrews 2:14
Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same;
that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil.
Colossians 2:15
And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
Matthew 12:28-29
If I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you...how can anyone enter the strong man's house and carry off his property, unless he first binds the strong man? And then he will plunder his house. (Jesus here claims to have bound satan and plundered his house)
2 Timothy 1:10
But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel
John 16:8,11
And when [the Holy Spirit] is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:...of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged
Acts 26:17-18
To the nations I now send you to open their eyes to turn them from darkness to light and from the power of satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and inheritance among them who are sanctified by faith that is in me.
but no one knows it happened or can tell it happened?
Plenty of us knows it happened, as it was the dominant understanding for the first 1800 years of Christendom.... Claiming it hasn't is a relatively brand new theory in the past 150 years and not rooted in Apostolic or ECF teaching.
And Mount Olive still has not been split in two, which happens when Jesus returns. Zechariah 14.
Or, as Tertullian (A.D. 145-220) wrote, it took place during Christ's earthly Ministry: "'But at night He went out to the Mount of Olives.' For thus had Zechariah pointed out: 'And His feet shall stand in that day on the Mount of Olives' [Zech. xiv. 4].
Tertullian was alluding to the fact that the Olivet prophecy set the stage for the judgment-coming of Christ that would once for all break down the Jewish/Gentile division. Matthew Henry explains the theology behind the prophecy:
The partition-wall between Jew and Gentiles shall be taken away. The mountains about Jerusalem, and particularly this, signified it to be an enclosure, and that it stood in the way of those who would approach to it. Between the Gentiles and Jerusalem this mountain of Bether, of division, stood, Cant. ii. 17. But by the destruction of Jerusalem this mountain shall be made to cleave in the midst, and so the Jewish pale shall be taken down, and the church laid in common with the Gentiles, who were made one with the Jews by the breaking down of this middle wall of partition, Eph. ii. 14.8
Likewise, in Zechariah 14:8 we read:
And it shall come to pass in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the eastern sea, and half of them toward the western sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
Are those living waters not a present reality today?:
"He who believes in Me,
as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of
living water.”
John 7:38
I'm not still waiting for the fulfillment of that Which Christ already has fulfilled for us, are you?
Have you not drank from those Living Waters?
I have, and I thirst for them no more.
John 4:14
The "That day" of
Zechariah 14,
according to Christ Himself, arrived during His earthly ministry.. Any interpretation of
Zechariah 14 that disregards this Biblical fact must be rejected by the Honest Bible expositor.
The Living Waters of
Zechariah 14:8 are a present FULFILLED reality. It is not some pie in the sky future thing/event we are still waiting for.
