RainRIder..... God panned ,foresaw all the possible outcomes before we ever got here. When Man fell, he was ashamed of his new body. therefore he covered it with leafs. God came along and give them animal skins for covering. Thereby telling me that because Man has sinned, innocent animal blood will have to be shed to cover man's sins.
Israel as a nation has been blinded until the fullness of the Church comes in.... Blinded to the point that they (with a few exceptions) do not believe that Jesus Christ was the Messiah Nagid. they did not know of his coming into Jerusalem yet the people had been told about it, 300 years before. Jesus tells us this is why they were and still are blinded. If they were not blinded there would not be any Judaism left.
If you look to Isaiah 28:14-18, you will see that they make the covenant (Daniel 9:27) in order to entice the Messiah to come down from heaven and take care of the Hoard of killers just beyond the city limits. The animal sacrifices are needed in their mind to bring down the Messiah. But God tells them that they made the wrong decision (in better words than that lol) and that they will be swept away by the Scourge waiting them.
It is at this time, the Anti-Christ is probably killed with a head wound, resurrected by Jesus as Satan does not have those powers. Satan then most likely possesses the anti-christ and steps in the holy of holies of the temple. This when the people of Jerusalem need to run toward the mountains as fast as they can.
In 70 AD the roman army was there for around 18 months before they assaulted the city.. The Christians had plenty of time for them to leave as there was no hurry... Also,,,nobody from outside the city was told not to come into the city. There is a big difference. It is our future and those who do not believe in it will be left behind....and believe me , from the colorful words of revelation, it will not be nice to be left behind.
