You completely lost me with regard to Matt 21. As for Job, my point was exactly that he did not reference Satan. He did not KNOW that Satan was behind the evil. That was my point all along. People today think God did this. God is not going to go kill people. Jesus said that the devil comes to kill...

You have still lost the point of Job 13:15. Job specifically states (my paraphrase): "Even if He (God) kills me, I will still hope in Him (God)". What Job knew, and what you seem to have difficulty understanding, if the fact that God controls life and death, and all events in between. He does not start a life and then sit back and allow the devil to choose when to end that life. One will not die a millisecond before the time that God has appointed, at the same time one will not live a millisecond after that divine appointment. The length and breadth of your life has already been determined, and it wasn't the devil who did the determining.

As far as Matthew 21 is concerned, you were the one who brought that passage up in your #65. I was only stating that you have to read a considerable amount into Jesus' words to conclude that He was talking about the restoration of Israel, whether 1948 or 1967. You still don't know when He will return.
