•He (Jesus) 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
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.
I hope you stuffed topcat's post in there as well. That's where it belongs --
Then the Catholic Church is the legitimate authority of Christ on this earth.
If Christ literally set up the Millenial Kingdom in 70 AD, then the Reformation was an act of apostasy against the legitimate earthly ruling authority of the Kingdom of Christ on earth.

I'm shocked that it is not realized by one and all that
1. This is wholesal UNSCRIPTURAL in terms of the meaning made of it by the Replacementarian/Contrarian Preterists.
2. Even if it were off the wall fantasized as true as the Replacementarians construe it to be . . . then they must be consciously or blindly insulting Christ because who ever is responsible for such binding per their fantasized prescription has OBVIOUSLY BOTCHED THE JOB BIG TIME.
3. Israel as The Nation has certainly been wholesale blind about satan's wiles against them as well as continuing blind about Christ.
4. The Nations of the whole planet have continued increasingly blinded to satan's globalist plans as predicted in many prophetic Scriptures in the UNrubberized Bibles.
5. Such a mangled fantasized convoluted trashing and thrashing of Scripture makes of Christ's disucssions of such out to be the rantings of an ineffectual clueless, blind, stark raving nut.
6. The Nations and their populations are more deceived than ever--as Scripture predicted. Good is called evil and evil good and such is taught under orders of the highest government levels and courts in the land around the world. This is evidence of satan being bound? What utter unmitigated nonsense!
7. The Nations and their populations are more deceived than ever about the desirability of a global government just as Scripture predicted for the era in which Israel became a Nation again in a day.
8. The Nations and their populations are more deceived than ever about the God of the Angel Armies and His capacity to display His all knowing power and might. The globalist puppet masters believe that satan will win and God will lose at Armageddon. Talk about unparalleled DECEPTION OF THE NATIONS! SHEESH!
9. The Nations and their populations are more deceived than ever that the God of Scripture has been explained away by the Fallen Angels/ Nephilium/ Watchers manipulating the globalists behind the scenes and seducing them with all manner of exhotic war making technologies.
10. The Nations and their populations are more deceived than ever that unless the global government takes control of all living things . . . man will destroy the planet . . . therefore the global power brokers and their fallen angel buddies must save us from ourselves instead of seeking Christ as our Savior. Talk about wholesale deception! Just as slick and seducing as prophecies in the UNRUBBER Bible warns us about.
The list could go on and on about how horrendous and massive are the deceptions from hell in the current era.
The whole Replacementarian rubber Bible constructions on current reality constitute one of the most horrendous set of deceptions from hell.
