"Garry B re Romans 15:8"

 


Hi Garry,


Spot on. Your post linked below for those who may have missed it. Our LORD Jesus walked this earth for approx., 3.5 years....in the MIDDLE of the 70 years (approx 33AD) He was cut off. I honestly can't understand why people can't see this. Our LORD was cut off in the midst of "the week". The end of "the week" was shown to us in vivid technicolour. The Romans invaded and utterly destroyed Jerusalem in 70 AD. THE END OF THE 70 YEARS. The "midst of the week", His death via crucifixion, brought an end to sacrifice and offering. LORD Jesus was the ultimate and final sacrifice for the forgiveness of all sins. Animal sacrifices were no longer needed. Not by Almighty God. Everything changed when LORD Jesus died and nailed our sins to the cross.


Many solid Christian pastors cling, doggedly, to a 7 year trib because anything else "spoils the typology". I put it to you that LORD Jesus, Himself, disrupted and changed "the typology". I cannot see Almighty God allowing a 3rd man-made Temple to be built as a sign of LORD Jesus' soon return. This so-called 3rd Temple would be an abomination from beginning to end. Almighty God would never label it as "His Temple". Such a ridiculous thought. Without the true faith in Jesus Christ as our LORD and Saviour, the building of a 3rd Temple would be an abomination, itself. For the AC to "sit in God's Temple" and declare himself to be god - he would have to be committing a massive sin. In other words - sitting in Almighty God's Temple that has descended from heaven itself. Let's not forget that the AC is going to have powers that appear bizarrely supernatural. The AC will deceive many. Halting animal sacrifices will be the least of his problems. Our LORD Jesus' death brought an end to sacrifice and offering. Nothing else is needed.


I find it increasingly odd that we are now 3.3 years past Israel's 70 years back in the Holy Land. November 2021 will bring us to 3.5 years past the 70 years. Think about it.


Maranatha, LORD Jesus.
