Zechariah talks of a Jerusalem that would be a cup of trembling to all nations and that He would return to defend her. Did that happen in 70 AD?
Never before could these prophecies be fulfilled for 1900 years until 1948. The potential for the world to come against Israel and Jerusalem is now a reality. The potential for a rebuilt Temple, for multinational armies taking action against individual nations, for global economies and a universal means to buy and sell, for global religion is here like never before.
70 AD happened. Jesus coming back didn't.

deacon blues,
I don't know jack didley about Zachariah and a cup of trembling, I'll look into it tho. I appreciate all you have to say concerning this subject, as I intend to try to find anwers to as many unanswered questions(that
I have) as I can.
In my understanding,it seems to me that since the Temple building stones not being left on one another, did happen, as I believe you agree, in ad70, it must have been the fullfillment of scripture. If all the "signs" listed after speaking of the stones,
were the prelude signs to know the "stone leveling" was come to pass, whether
we saw the signs or not, the stones of the building got leveled, so wouldn't the "unstanding stones" be evidence/proof of the fullfillment of the signs listed afterwards in scripture?
