Actually the "Times of the Gentiles" began around 600 BC when Nebuchadnezzar destroyed the temple in Jerusalem. After that Gentile empires ruled over Israel until AD 70 . And even after Israel was established in 1948 the Dome of Rock remained in Jerusalem. Some say that that is not the location of the original temple, but some do not.
“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.
I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.”
Ever since the creation of the world his invisible nature, namely, his eternal power and deity, has been clearly perceived in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse;
For in him the whole fulness of deity dwells bodily,
Jesus as the son ministered to us for about 3 years, and in this age he no longer walks among men but dwells within us by his Spirit. But if you want to know what the Father knows look at the age and ministry of the Father, the Old Testament

I don't know where to start. I'll try. If people believe in the future described by false prophets, it will be a terrible disaster to shake their faith.The Bible says that there will be false prophets when Jesus comes again.So if Jesus has arrived, what the false prophet described has not happened. This is a very terrible thing.Because embracing the wrong point of view will lead to the wrong conclusion. So I said that no one was ready for such an outcome. I said you are all gods, you are all children of God, but you have to die like men.
The angels who are spirtual beings called the sons of God who were all male lusted after human women n Genesis 6 took on flesh and blood along with their offspring the Nephilim. And died like men in the flood.
There will be a repeat performance in the book of Revelations when they are thrown from the heavens to the earth Rev 12:7

This is the curse on angels for leaving their proper abode. Seems like only Satan had the permission to go to and from the earth.
Job 1:6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan[a] also came among them. 7 The Lord said to Satan, “Whence have you come?” Satan answered the Lord, “From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking up and down on it.”

Well, you know the total number was not mentioned but the 4 & 5 thousand was for a reason. Figure out the odds of these numbers and it's like a billion to 1. The numbers were for a purpose of teaching for remember all 4 gospels used the 5000 and three gospels used the 4000 number, so it wasn't an error.
[QUOTE="uncle_mike,
Mike you might enjoy what Irenaeus said about creation who was taught by Polycarp, a disciple of Apostle John/
The devil is well practised in falsehood, by which Adam having been led astray, sinned on the sixth day of the creation, in which day also he has been renewed by Christ.
1. He had indeed been already accustomed to lie against God, for the purpose of leading men astray. For at the beginning, when God had given to man a variety of things for food, while He commanded him not to eat of one tree only, as the Scripture tells us that God said to Adam: From every tree which is in the garden you shall eat food; but from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, from this you shall not eat: for in the day that you shall eat of it, you shall die by death; Genesis 2:16-17 he then, lying against the Lord, tempted man, as the Scripture says that the serpent said to the woman: Has God indeed said this, You shall not eat from every tree of the garden? Genesis 3:1 And when she had exposed the falsehood, and simply related the command, as He had said, From every tree of the garden we shall eat; but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, You shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die: Genesis 3:2-3 when he had [thus] learned from the woman the command of God, having brought his cunning into play, he finally deceived her by a falsehood, saying, You shall not die by death; for God knew that in the day you shall eat of it your eyes shall be opened, and you shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. Genesis 3:4 In the first place, then, in the garden of God he disputed about God, as if God was not there, for he was ignorant of the greatness of God; and then, in the next place, after he had learned from the woman that God had said that they should die if they tasted the aforesaid tree, opening his mouth, he uttered the third falsehood, You shall not die by death. But that God was true, and the serpent a liar, was proved by the result, death having passed upon them who had eaten. For along with the fruit they did also fall under the power of death, because they ate in disobedience; and disobedience to God entails death. Wherefore, as they became forfeit to death, from that [moment] they were handed over to it.
2. Thus, then, in the day that they ate, in the same did they die, and became death's debtors, since it was one day of the creation. For it is said, There was made in the evening, and there was made in the morning, one day. Now in this same day that they ate, in that also did they die. But according to the cycle and progress of the days, after which one is termed first, another second, and another third, if anybody seeks diligently to learn upon what day out of the seven it was that Adam died, he will find it by examining the dispensation of the Lord. For by summing up in Himself the whole human race from the beginning to the end, He has also summed up its death. From this it is clear that the Lord suffered death, in obedience to His Father, upon that day on which Adam died while he disobeyed
God. Now he died on the same day in which he ate. For God said, In that day on which you shall eat of it, you shall die by death. The Lord, therefore, recapitulating in Himself this day, underwent His sufferings upon the day preceding the Sabbath, that is, the sixth day of the creation, on which day man was created; thus granting him a second creation by means of His passion, which is that [creation] out of death. And there are some, again, who relegate the death of Adam to the thousandth year; for since a day of the Lord is as a thousand years, 2 Peter 3:8 he did not overstep the thousand years, but died within them, thus bearing out the sentence of his sin. Whether, therefore, with respect to disobedience, which is death; whether [we consider] that, on account of that, they were delivered over to death, and made debtors to it; whether with respect to [the fact that on] one and the same day on which they ate they also died (for it is one day of the creation); whether [we regard this point], that, with respect to this cycle of days, they died on the day in which they did also eat, that is, the day of the preparation, which is termed the pure supper, that is, the sixth day of the feast, which the Lord also exhibited when He suffered on that day; or whether [we reflect] that he (Adam) did not overstep the thousand years, but died within their limit — it follows that, in regard to all these significations, God is indeed true. For they died who tasted of the tree; and the serpent is proved a liar and a murderer, as the Lord said of him: For he is a murderer from the beginning, and the truth is not in him. John 8:44
