Evidently you have been tossed into the psychiatric meat grinder a number of times?

You have my condolences. But try and escape their clutches if at all possible.
not at all buddy I'm just showing how the word I, can lead to becoming the ultimate dreamer.

Or a Buddhist like Alan Watts 😂

I'm not disagreeing with what you are saying. I merely gave a couple of possibilities. The Bible doesn't actually say what His motivation was; only that the current practices weren't correct.
I don't mind in the slightest if you disagree.

Honestly truly disagreement has now become a distant memory to me 😂

And another question you won't answer: how could the kingdom of God be taken from Israel if it wasn't already here?
You complain about lack of scholarship, but the better complaint would be over the lack of critical thinking.
It is not talking about the physical location of Israel. It is talking about the general overall populace at influenced by their religious leaders, who were rejecting what Jesus was teaching, as missing out on receiving it.

I agree. The kingdom of God has always been a spiritual kingdom. It is evident wherever God rules. It has never had geographic borders. But that wasn't my point. In order for God to establish His kingdom in the church, He says He takes it from Israel. The kingdom itself was already in the world.

so you see the parable to be about Old Testament isreals rejection of the messiah and the messiah therefore sending the gospel of the kingdom to all people beginning at Jerusalem ?

Are you this type of thing beginning to come to pass ?

“I am sought of them that asked not for me; I am found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name.

I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, which walketh in a way that was not good, after their own thoughts; a people that provoketh me to anger continually to my face; that sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense upon altars of brick; which remain among the graves, and lodge in the monuments, which eat swine's flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels; which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day. Behold, it is written before me: I will not keep silence, but will recompense, even recompense into their bosom, your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith the LORD, which have burned incense upon the mountains, and blasphemed me upon the hills: therefore will I measure their former work into their bosom.

Thus saith the LORD, As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one saith, Destroy it not; for a blessing is in it: so will I do for my servants' sakes, that I may not destroy them all. And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains: and mine elect shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there.

But ye are they that forsake the LORD, that forget my holy mountain, that prepare a table for that troop, and that furnish the drink offering unto that number. Therefore will I number you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter: because when I called, ye did not answer; when I spake, ye did not hear; but did evil before mine eyes, and did choose that wherein I delighted not.

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, my servants shall eat, but ye shall be hungry: behold, my servants shall drink, but ye shall be thirsty: behold, my servants shall rejoice, but ye shall be ashamed: behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart, but ye shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall howl for vexation of spirit.

And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen: for the Lord GOD shall slay thee, and call his servants by another name: that he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he that sweareth in the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from mine eyes.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭65:1-9, 11-16‬ ‭KJV‬‬

your seeing Israel’s repeated rejection of the ot prophets and then The messiah resulting in the gospel being opened up to all people now until the end ?

Also another inquiry what about the remnant of Israel that accepted Jesus and received the promise of the spirit you aren’t saying they are excluded right ?
The Jews will be in exile until last days plain and simple.

That's God authority,

God's rules

God will not hear there prayers until the last days.

And again just like the last post I spoke on the authority of the lord

yeah it’s not really possible for me , to discuss the Bible with someone who believes they have the authority of the lord regardless of what’s said friend ….you would always be right about anything you said even if you were wrong because “ authority of the lord and all “

i was just trying to understand what it is you think about some of those scriptures , but it seems like each time I inquire you just tell me what you think without any scripture saying anything and say you speak On the authority of the lord

This is a circle I’ve seen before a time or two I was inquiring about some scripture to try to see what the details of what you’re saying are is all …. I’m not interested in your chosen and sent status or authority you have was just wondering your thoughts on some scripture

1 Kings 11:3

New International Version



3 king Solomon had seven hundred wives of royal birth and three hundred concubines, and his wives led him astray.

I think the temple was always going to be in believers. I believe the destruction of the temple was part of the judgment poured out on Israel for failing to keep the terms of the old covenant.
What you listed is a part of that because the effect was cumulative. The generation of Jesus day finished filling up the cup of wrath.

The significance can only be understated......never overstated.

Your "It's all good" meme won't cut it when 70lb hailstones are falling on your cranium and demon armies are surging across the shire.

Given those inevitable circumstances, I suspect those who were foolish enough to believe that meme you are propagating will live to regret it.

this is where my disagreement is.

Christians are already being severely demonically attacked

The way you word this here sounds like demons will rise in flesh or something.

When there is only more logic to the battle being spiritual warfare Ephesians 6 clarifies that.

But that's also happening now.

There plenty of scripture to where judgment is brought but God's children are not harmed like the passover etc and more.

Or Sodom when lot was led away in safety
