We now live in a new heavens and new earth.
No, that is ridiculous. Here is what John said about that:
"And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea" (Rev.21:1).
According to your loony ideas the first earth has already passed away and there is no more sea. The sad thing is the fact that you actually believe that!
(Zech 1:3) Therefore tell the people: This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘Return to me,’ declares the Lord Almighty, ‘and I will return to you,’ says the Lord Almighty.
Sounds conditional to me.
There is nothing that even hints that this prophecy is a conditional one:
"I will gather all the nations to Jerusalem to fight against it; the city will be captured, the houses ransacked, and the women raped. Half of the city will go into exile, but the rest of the people will not be taken from the city. Then the Lord will go out and fight against those nations, as he fights on a day of battle. On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem" (Zech.14:2-4).
Since the events described in that passage have not yet happened and you have no place for the fulfillment of it in your eschatology you must somehow get rid of it.
So you say that it was conditional despite the fact that it is an unconditional statement.
I'm surprised that they let you out of your strait jacket long enough for you to post these zany ideas!
