What did Jesus do in 70 AD?

A more appropriate question IMO would be, what happened to the world beginning in AD33 (resurrection and ascension) and culminating in AD70?

He vindicated His ascension to the right hand of the Father by displaying the "all authority" had been granted to Him in heaven and on earth
He assumed the throne of David in heaven
He bound Satan from deceiving the nation
He initiated the task of putting everything under His feet
He dismantled the old covenant system of types and shadows once and for all time, ending the old covenant priesthood by assuming the new covenant priesthood of Melchizadek
He instituted the new covenant, ending Judaism as it was then known and constituted
He temporally punished "this generation" of apostate Jews for their complicity in killing "the son of the landowner"; these were the "days of vengeance"
He removed the kingdom from old Israel and its leadership and passed it on to the holy nation under the authority of the apostles
He ratified the permanent union of Jews and gentile into one new man, an expanded new Israel

The short answer is the end of one system and the beginning of another. The forty years was a time of transition.

He assumed the throne of David in heaven

Where in scripture does it say that the throne of David is in heaven????

Between turkey duties, I just have to give this an AMEN!

And contrary to what seems like an even split on this forum, the vast majority of Christians believe every word of this.
