Jesus is ruling with a rod of iron now.
That is quite simply... ridiculous.
I guess that you have no idea what that phrase even means... It means that justice will be swift and fair on the earth. That is NOT what we see today were sin runs rampant and justice is anything but swift and fair.
You just refuse to recognize it because your desire is to support your system more than to follow Jesus wherever He leads you.
A completely FALSE and unjust accusation. If Jesus were ruling with and iron rod, you'd be in trouble.
And you will be rewarded accordingly.
Your vain treats do nothing to support your false doctrine.
Yes, clearly Jesus set foot on the earth and set up His kingdom when He was here in fulfillment of Zechariah 14.
You're so confused by your false fairy tale. Jesus
DEPARTED from the Mount of Olives in Acts 1 and has YET to return to it per Zechariah 14. You cannot just wave your magic wand to make your fake version true.
He also fulfilled Daniel's interpretation of Nebuchadnezzar's dream about the image of gold, silver, brass, iron and clay. Dan 2:44KJV
The Jews are no longer His chosen people. They rejected Him and He has rejected them. There are no irrevocable covenants in the Old Testament. His chosen people are those who, by grace, through faith in Christ, are washed in the blood of the Lamb.
You are wrong, as usual.
Jer 31:35-36 KJV Thus saith the LORD, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The LORD of hosts is his name: (36) If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the LORD, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever.
Paul is crystal clear that Israel will be restored:
Rom 11:15 KJV For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?
The gentile nations will serve Israel and be blessed by Israel in the new Jerusalem, just like BOTH Revelation 21 and Isaiah 60 agree.
Isa 60:14-22 KJV The sons also of them that afflicted thee shall come bending unto thee; and all they that despised thee shall bow themselves down at the soles of thy feet; and they shall call thee, The city of the LORD, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel. (15) Whereas thou hast been forsaken and hated, so that no man went through thee, I will make thee an eternal excellency, a joy of many generations. (16) Thou shalt also suck the milk of the Gentiles, and shalt suck the breast of kings: and thou shalt know that I the LORD am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob. (17) For brass I will bring gold, and for iron I will bring silver, and for wood brass, and for stones iron: I will also make thy officers peace, and thine exactors righteousness. (18) Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, wasting nor destruction within thy borders; but thou shalt call thy walls Salvation, and thy gates Praise. (19) The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the LORD shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory. (20) Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended. (21) Thy people also shall be all righteous: they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified. (22) A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the LORD will hasten it in his time.
Rev 21:23-26 KJV And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. (24) And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it. (25) And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there. (26) And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.
This agrees with what God told Abraham long ago:
Gen 12:1-3 KJV Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee: (2) And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: (3) And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
The new Jerusalem that comes down from heaven is called the bride of Christ (Rev. 21:9-10), the wife of the lamb. Jesus does not marry a physical city; not now, not ever. He enters into mystical union with the body of believers known as the church universal. This is the New Jerusalem. It is a city not built with hands and has no temple in it.
Fantasy, George, just pure fantasy.
It's called the NEW
Jerusalem for a reason. It has walls and gates, etc. etc. etc.
Speaking of what is clear, it is not clear how a physical city that is a perfect cube 1365 miles in all directions could fit on Mount Zion.
You're always doubting the Word of God.
I understand the standard explanation of futurism for this but I do not agree with it. The fact remains that Jesus is speaking in the present tense about a kingdom that already begins to exist and has it's origin in heaven. He acknowledges to Pilate that He has a kingdom - but it is nothing like the Roman one. Nothing can nullify Jesus' teachings, here and in His parables, about the advent of a spiritual kingdom. Mark 1:15KJV, Luke 17:20-21KJV, Luke 11:20KJV
Fantasy... pure fantasy... Enjoy your Disney vacation.
