Yeshua and John the Baptist appeared the first time as witnesses (Rev 11:3) who will witness for 3 1/2 year (1260 days), to either restore the hearts of the fathers to their children or smite the land with a curse (Malachi 4:6). Apparently, the latter circumstance won out. Subsequently, he was put at the right hand of God, until the LORD made the Lord's enemies into a footstool for his feet (Psalms 110:1). At that time (Mt 24:29-30) he will return to earth and establish the kingdom in Jerusalem (Zech 14:16)Re the OP...
Jesus had/has two separate functions. 1) He appeared as a human and was sacrificed as the price paid for all sins committed. 2) After His resurrection, He was exalted and placed at God's right hand to rule over His kingdom.
I see no evidence of an established kingdom on earth after Jesus Christ lived,Jesus established God's kingdom on earth. I think he still rules it.
It is overwhelmingly obvious that love and righteous does not remotely prevail after Jesus Christ lived,And I think the purpose is that love and righteousness prevail.
You think no one thinks Jesus is their king?I see no evidence of an established kingdom on earth after Jesus Christ lived,
King of what? I see many believing in a Kingdom on Earth that obviously does not exist as claimed in the fulfillment of prophecy..You think no one thinks Jesus is their king?
The kingdom is formed from the people who keep Jesus as their king.King of what? I see many believing in a Kingdom on Earth that obviously does not exist as claimed in the fulfillment of prophecy..
NOT the Kingdom described in prophecyThe kingdom is formed from the people who keep Jesus as their king.
This prophecy is after the Message of Jesus and the two witnesses are Muhammad and Ali. The Message Muhammad brought lasted 1260 years as per that prophecy.Yeshua and John the Baptist appeared the first time as witnesses (Rev 11:3) who will witness for 3 1/2 year (1260 days), to either restore the hearts of the fathers to their children or smite the land with a curse (Malachi 4:6).

The flesh amounts to nothing. It is the knowledge that Jesus is the Christ ("Annointed One") that builds the Church of God.The kingdom is formed from the people who keep Jesus as their king.

Were Muhammad and Ali killed in Jerusalem after preaching 42 months? I thought Ali was killed by a poisoned sword, and this supposed Muhammad poisoned by a disgruntled woman. According to Rev 11:11, both messengers were to return together, not as a single "Baha". You can hope, but you cannot hide.This prophecy is after the Message of Jesus and the two witnesses are Muhammad and Ali. The Message Muhammad brought lasted 1260 years as per that prophecy.
It is the kingdom that God prophesied. Yes, people can be utterly evil - the world around us should break your heart. But the kingdom is here. Real. It is love. it is what God promised and will be fulfilled at the end of the world.NOT the Kingdom described in prophecy
There will be no 'second time' for Jesus on this earth so there will be no Jesus ruling on earth.Two simple questions;
1. Why Jesus did not Rule the first time, but will Rule the second time?
There is no purpose for an earthly ruler, which is one reason why Jesus will not be ruling on earth, aside from the fact that Jesus is never going to return to earth.2. What is the purpose of Jesus's Ruling?
There is a problem here the world and human nature is basically the same before and after the advent of Jesus Christ. There is not an apparent Kingdom as claims in the Christian interpretation of prophecy. That is why the expectation of a second coming.It is the kingdom that God prophesied. Yes, people can be utterly evil - the world around us should break your heart. But the kingdom is here. Real. It is love. it is what God promised and will be fulfilled at the end of the world.
I think that some of the Greeks had working hospitals going around 350 B.C. Asclepieion - Wikipedia As for Christians, they often tortured people to their deaths, or burned them alive or dead (Inquisition). The hospitallers also carried a sword along with their crosses. As for Christian orphanages, they were often run by religious orders, and the children were abused and buried under the stars.Love and peace could not prevail when human nature is sick with sin.
Nevertheless, Christianity became a force for love. When the Antonine plague struck Rome the famous Greek physician Galen fled the city. He was thunderstruck at the number of Christians who stayed to take care of the sick and dying, pagans and Christians alike. They died to save others, for love of God and humanity; Galen thought them idiots.
The minute Christianity became licit, Zoticus founded the first orphanage, scooping up the poor and abandoned and feeding and educating them.
After a famine struck Ceasarea Basil created the first real hospital in about 370, the Basiliad. Among the vast complex of buildings, and with 300 beds, physicians aided the sick and the dying.
Society had always cast out lepers; Christians built therm homes and tended them. The ancient Greeks put blind girls in brothels; Christians housed them and taught them.
This began the hospital movement in Christianity, which spread hospitals far and wide. The ancient Greeks put blind girls in brothels; Christians housed them and taught them.
Yeshua told his disciples to preach the kingdom of heaven is at hand (Mt 10:7), as they healed the sick, and raised the dead. The "kingdom" at hand, was the power and spirit of God among men. That "kingdom" is now right at the door (Mt 24:33), but not established as the everlasting kingdom of Daniel 2:44, as the kingdoms of the nations still rule, now as the 8th head of the beast per Revelation 17:11-18. The "great city" which still reigns over the kings of the earth (Rev 17:18) is Babylon the Great and her harlot daughters, best exampled by the Roman church and her daughters, the Christian churches. As Revelation 18:4 says, come out of her or "receive of her plagues" in spite of your "Christian" hospitals, or church of Obama Care.It is the kingdom that God prophesied. Yes, people can be utterly evil - the world around us should break your heart. But the kingdom is here. Real. It is love. it is what God promised and will be fulfilled at the end of the world.
The prophets only name one final king/prince, and that is David (Ezekiel 34:23 & Ez 37:24 & Hosea 3:5), who will rule as "king" from Jerusalem (Zechariah 14:16). The judging will be by the LORD/YHWH Ezekiel 34, and then the LORD will make David the only shepherd/prince.Actually a plain reading of the Torah prophecies describe the advent of one or more Messianic Kings that will restore the Kingdom of Israel and bring peace to the world.
What do you mean with that?NOT the Kingdom described in prophecy
