The time is close as what Jesus said would happen is happening quickly.
Nah he said all those things would happen, but not to be bothered by it, for the time is not yet.
The end times have been ongoing since the cross. That s the fulcrum, and not in a way the churches can see. Those taught in the semitaries are oblivious.
My opinion is Christ comes for his church, he says so in first three chapters of Revelation that deals with the church, so they do not go through "Jacob's Trouble" which is Christ dealing with the Jews.
See here: ALL of what Yah said he will do, he said he would do with Israel. ONLY Israel. The new covenant is made ONLY with the House of Judah and the House of Israel. which together ARE Israel.
The thing that the scholars have missed is the 'barren woman' of Is 54 and the 'death of the testator' as posed by Paul... Why is the Barren Woman told to leap for joy directly after the obvious death of Yeshua in Is 53? ALL of the promises given to Israel were
inheritances... Therefore, those promises could not be inherited until the death of the testator. Look for those promises being invested in the inheritors, which necessarily must only begin to happen AFTER the testator has died... and your whole regimen of replacementism will necessarily realign. The inheretances of Yeshua are better, no doubt, but those first inheritances cannot be written off - That is the mistake. You cannot understand without understanding the inheritances discharged at the death of Yeshua ONLY into the blood line nation of Israel. Those inheritances have a purpose.
There is only ONE Israel. There is only ONE House of Yah. Replacement Theology is blind.
WHO IS THE BARREN WOMAN? Because she cannot be Judah (the Jews) and she cannot be the Church (shamed herself and divorced in her youth).
The church is next mentioned in Revelation 19. One way to express the progression is: Old Testament Daniel, Christ in New Testament, church age as apostles started churches, Jesus in Revelation sends his angel to tell John how church age, jew age, ends and satan meets his end.
"Matthew 24:36
But about that day and hour no one knows, neither the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father."
That was true at that time since Christ had not died and gone to Heaven where he now sits on the right hand of the Father and knows all and Christ says that in the first few lines of Revelation. Read it.
'The Church' is an affectation, better termed 'the Assembly'. The split between synagogue and church is false. Yeshua came to remove the wall of division, not to build it higher.
Only in removing the scales of Replacement theology can one begin to understand: 2/3rds of the prophecy MUST have already been fulfilled - Prophecy that we pay no mind to, finding it without solution. But it MUST have already been solved, and that MUST be apparent. When you figger it out your Bible will BLOOM. And that barren woman was the key that unlocked it all for me.
