That’s NOT even close to the coming reality.
the word you wanted to stress by capitalization there was “close” - just for the record
Things can transform quickly. The 1c Jews did not expect the Messiah to come in their lifetimes either (John 1:46). But I agree, the reality is that the Christians leave the Holy Land, whereas they are supposed to gather in it. On the other hand, no one said that the Second Coming of Christ is to happen any time soon.
