How so?
(Rom 4:3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness)
(Rom 4:6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works)
Paul is quoting from David who was under the old covenant, therefore the kingdom then was precisely the same under the new covenant after the death of Christ. Abraham was not under the old covenant.
See Rom 4:3 - 9
We are already in the age "to come".
(Mark 10:30 but that he will receive a hundred times as much now in the present age, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and farms, along with persecutions; and in the age to come, eternal life.)
(1 John 5:13 These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life.)

My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.

(Rom 3:21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets)
But now you have some weird idea that their will be a return to a "righteousness" not witnessed by the law and the prophets.
In other words totally devoid of any biblical merit.

Quote a verse in context that states NONE of the 12 believed he had to die...last time I checked it was only Peter that said it, and he ALONE was rebuked by Jesus and he never AGAIN said a word about it....you guys constantly embellish the word of God while REJECTING what is does actually say......very evil!

The good news that the Son of God is finally sent to the flesh to Israel. Thru God's grace he came.
Israel needed to respond in faith to that grace, which is repent and be baptized.
If they respond in faith, Jesus as the Son of God would usher Israel into their promised kingdom.
It is then that their sins will finally be remitted (Acts 3:19)

You forgot about this passage the last time you checked?
Luke 18:31-34 King James Version (KJV)
31 Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.
32 For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:
33 And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again.
34 And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.
