“...since Jesus of Nazareth’s prophecy that Jerusalem would be destroyed, that the Jews would be exiled as slaves among the nations and remain scattered to the end of time…. Being that Jerusalem has now been rebuilt, to become a center for the renewed Israeli State, we are duly bound to add this is a direct contradiction to Jesus’ own prophecy.”
Nonsense. Jesus said Jerusalem would be TROD DOWN by the gentiles, UNTIL the time of the gentiles was fulfilled.
Not that the “tredding down” would last forever. It would come to an end.
and
“So when they came together, they asked Him, “Lord will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” Jesus replied, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by His own authority.” (Acts 1:6,7)
IOW, Israel will be restored, just not at the moment that Jesus was speaking.
Amen.
