When Paul said in Hebrews
Heb 8:13.. In that He says, A new covenant, He has made the first one old.
Now that which decays and becomes old is ready to vanish away... what was he saying? at what point in time did the old vanish away?
Just as it was pointless for the people to continue to offer sacrifices after the new covenant so shall it be if they were to build another temple. But the destruction of the temple in the first century was a significant happening. As that is what Jesus prophesied and so did I believe John, hence why I put so much on 70ad.
Jesus said "this generation shall not pass until all these things have come to pass."
At what time in history before the Generation that was living did those things that Christ prophesied happened. We want to put it all in the future because things did not happen the way we imagine it should have happened.
But I believe all things are finished and we are living in new Jerusalem which is the kingdom of God on earth. and when this body dies our soul goes immediately to be with the Lord, hence forth the saying that we never die.
