He is not finished

Well, He said He it is finished and I believe Him. The offering for the sins of His flock has been accepted by God and the rest is just clean-up as Christ's sheep follow Him home.

EVERYTHING is fulfilled in Jesus Christ.

"For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

And he is before all things, and by him all things consist." -- Col. 1:16-17

And as if to underscore the point...

"For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell" -- Col. 1:19

Christ risen from the cross is the gauntlet thrown down to all creation. We are either with Him or against Him. Today.

As the word of God continues to be preached in truth and love, more and more of God's family will recognize their salvation by Jesus Christ alone. Then at some unknown time in the future all history will end and Christ will come in the blink of an eye to judge the world.

We will either be judged by our own righteousness (of which we have none) and thus condemned in our own sins; or we will be judged by the righteousness and obedience of Christ and therefore acquitted by Christ's one-time, perfect atonement of our sins.

All the rest of any unanswered prophecies comes under vanity. What does it matter?

"Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,

I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." -- Philippians 3:13-14

You keep moving the goal posts. First it was finished at John. Then it was finished at the cross. Now it is to be finished by his saints? Is it finished yet??? Were there any prophecies left to fulfill after the cross??? How about this one from Amos 9:

"13Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt. 14And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them. 15And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the LORD thy God."

Are you with Him in this or against Him???
