A better Eschatology! A thinking Eschatology!

 In the year 70 AD the Roman army attacked and destroyed the nation of Judea and the city of Jerusalem. The army circled the cities setting siege ( Luke 21:20) and finally pillaged and burned what was left. The Romans had the captives (Jewish slaves) pry the bricks of the old Jewish Temple apart (Mat 24:2,Mar 13:2, Luke 19:44, Luke 21:6) so that any precious metal that had melted between them could be recovered. So at AD70 the Old Church of Moses or Jewish Church effectively ended. No more sacrifices could be made to God on the altar and no one could claim to be the Messiah, as no records remained to establish lineage.

In the study of Christianity, we need to add 70 A.D. to the dates to remember. We remember that Jesus was born about in 3 BC. We know that he was crucified at about 30 AD. We need to recognize his return at 70 AD. This is when the temple at Jerusalem and its records were destroyed. The Old Covenant was over. The New Covenant had come, and Jesus returned to live in our hearts. Jesus's return is the end of the old heavens and earth and the start of the new heavens and earth. The new is a spiritual return, a spiritual kingdom, and a spiritual resurrection. If Jesus Christ lives in your heart, you are resurrected to eternal life.

Are you tired of waiting for Jesus Christ to come back?
Are you weary of the end-of-the-world predictions and then nothing happening on those days?
Have you ever wondered why Jesus and the writers of the New Testament all spoke of The Kingdom of God as being soon, at hand, and now, but we are told by some that it has not happened yet?
