So then that is a yes.

Jesus said you need to forgive 70x7. That is 70 weeks. The gospel has gone to the four corners of the earth, that is 4x70x7 = 1,960 + 70 AD = 2030.

Jesus also told the Pharisees they would be given the sign of Jonah. Yes, that is the death and resurrection, but it also includes 40 days walking to and fro throughout the city telling them to repent. If Jesus told them this in 30 AD on the 9th of Av then it was exactly 40 years to the day when their temple was destroyed and they were scattered to the four corners and the gospel went to the nations.

Paul is the one who came up with the gospel to the nations. It was 15 to 30 years after the crucifixion that the letters of Paul were written. Long after your "70th week" is over. So not only did the gospel not go to the nations, it didn't go to any of the nations. Peter opened the door, but they didn't have the gospel for the uncircumcision yet, didn't publish it and didn't preach it.

As you may well know, there are a fascinating succession of Jubilee year historical precedents in recent history:

-1867 Hapsburg emancipation of the Jews
- 1917 Balfour declaration
-1967 retaking of Jerusalem
-2017 President Trump declaring Jerusalem as capital of Israel

Harry S. Truman: When Truman issued the de facto recognition of the State of Israel in 1948, he famously compared himself to the Persian king. To a group of Jewish visitors, he reportedly declared, "I am Cyrus! I am Cyrus!"—seeing his role as pivotal in the modern restoration of the Jewish homeland.

One does not have to be in the the Reformed/Augustinian camp to know dispensationalism is false.
At its heart you deny exactly what the Bible makes very clear over and over again.

Ephesians 2:14-16 KJV

"For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us…"

In Christ, the dividing wall between Jew and Gentile has been removed. There is one people of God, not two. Dispensationalism undermines this unity and creates a disjointed doctrine that is foreign to the apostles’ teaching.

The unassailable facts say thus and so:

The 70th week of Daniel culminates in the Second Coming for Israel.

Oh and BTW, you might want to begin to discern what exactly is the "beginning" and the "end". As of now you remain clueless.

Mat 24:6 - “You will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end.

Mat 24:7 - “For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes.

Mat 24:8 - “But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs.

Something else:

WW1 also had the FIRST ever GLOBAL pandemic. Did you happen to forget about the @HeIsHere ? Selective forgetfulness is also a disease.....of the conscience.

The 1918 influenza pandemic was a global event in the most absolute sense.

Within just four to six months of its initial outbreak in early 1918, the virus had circled the entire planet, facilitated by the unprecedented movement of millions of troops and the global logistics of World War I.

The Scope of the Reach
The virus infected an estimated 500 million people, which at the time was roughly one-third of the global population. Its reach extended far beyond the front lines of Europe:

Geographic Extremes: It reached the most remote corners of the earth, including the Alaskan wilderness, the Arctic, and isolated villages in the Brazilian rainforest.

The Pacific Islands: Many islands were devastated. Western Samoa lost approximately 22% of its total population in a matter of weeks after the virus arrived via a steamship from New Zealand.

Indigenous Communities: Isolated populations often suffered the highest mortality rates because they lacked "background immunity" from previous, milder flu strains. In some Inuit villages in Labrador and Alaska, the mortality rate exceeded 70% to 90%.
 
French President Emmanuel Macron has announced that France and the UK will hold a conference of nations willing to participate in a multinational coalition “aimed at restoring freedom of navigation in the [Strait of Hormuz].” President Macron called it a “strictly defensive

Considering how many things you are already deceived about it's no surprise that you think a virus was at fault. Like so many diseases today that are iatrogenic, the large number of deaths then was caused by aspirin poisoning.

Please offer us the latest Alex Jones and Tucker Carlson conspiracy theories that you actually believe. If you dare.

I don't think that you will.... :sneaky:

Here is my position:

Zec 12:3 - And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.

You see, ISRAEL is has been in the forefront of All world news and events for the last few generations. As they are today.

No sane person could deny this. Likewise no rational sensible person could fail to comprehend why.

Which of course leaves men without excuse.

We might see the same pattern in the US.

Summary Table​

YearEventLiberty Theme
1620Plymouth / Mayflower CompactCovenant-based self-governance
1670Penn's Trial / Jury IndependenceLiberty defended by law
1720Cato's Letters / Great Awakening precursorLiberty of conscience & press
1770Boston MassacreLiberty threatened by the state
1800Revolution of 1800 / peaceful transferLiberty institutionalized
1820Missouri Compromise / Plymouth 200thLiberty contested
1865/7013th & 15th AmendmentsLiberty proclaimed to all inhabitants
192019th Amendment / Plymouth 300thLiberty extended to women
1964/70Civil Rights / 26th AmendmentLiberty enforced & expanded
2020Pandemic + racial reckoning + election crisisLiberty's meaning contested anew

The Liberty Bell was ordered in a declared Year of Jubilee (1751), with a cracked bell. In retrospect, it is a remarkably apt metaphor for a country literally cracked and freedom fissured for its black inhabitants. God may have built the crack into the symbol on purpose.
 
I think I had better check the new dictionary as to what a "cease fire" means.



Iran DEFIES Trump's BLOCKADE... Then Their Oil Plants GET ERASED

To be fair to the US they didn't describe what they are doing in the Straight of Hormuz as being contrary to the ceasefire, rather it is a "courtesy" to other countries. (I think I had better check out the definition of courtesy as well).

You follow the doctrine of the pharisees, not the doctrine of Paul. He made it perfectly clear for anyone with a scintilla of spiritual discernment. God's children are those with faith in Christ.

Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel: Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed. Romans 9:6-8​

Uh Oh, the world is rising up against the US! I just saw a headline someone said they cannot allow one country to blackmail the world! Wow! Oh wait, Trump said this?


Ohhh! He is talking about the toll that Iran is placing on ships in the Straight, not the toll the US is placing on the same ships.
