On first (and second) reading, this appears to be a very arrogant response. I'm not flexing anything, just taking Jesus at his word. I'm not "reason-ing" anything, just taking Jesus at his word. "It is finished".
Malachi 4:5 (read it and weep), the final prophecy in the old testament, was fulfilled nearly 2000 years ago.
It doesn't need to seem or be arrogant. It can easily and accurately be read as a lack of ability to match the contortions of the "logic" Replacement Theology involves.
I've heard that much of The Bible is prophecy and that more has been fulfilled since Israel became a nation again IN A DAY as prophecied--as it did in 1948 . . . than has been fulfilled all the previous centuries combined. I tend to believe that assertion.
. . . not flexing anything? . . . not "reason"-ing anything?
I beg to differ--you are loading "it" in It is finished above up with all kinds of stuff not the least bit implied in the context.
His legally reclaiming of the earth back that Adam lost to satan was certainly finished at that moment.
If EVERYTHING else was finished that you're implying, insisting on, then all of reality must have really been deluded in some vast HOLODECK experience the last 2,000 years because my reality and my reading of Scripture are exceedingly different. . . so different I sometimes wonder if we're talking about the same Book.
