"RESTORATION OF ALL THINGS" |
Regarding the promised return of Elijah (Mal. 3:23), Jesus endorsed the
premise of Luke 1:17 in which, by coming "in the spirit and power of
Elijah," John the Baptist figuratively fulfilled the predicted role of
the Old Testament prophet (Matt. 17:10-13; Mark 9:11-13).
Elijah's role, Jesus continued, was to "restore all things" - the
attainment of which, although fulfilled in a restricted Church age
sense of "turn[ing] the hearts of the fathers back to the children and
the rebellious to the wisdom of the just, so as to make ready a people
prepared for the Lord" yet lacked final fulfillment in that "they
(enemies of divine cause) did to him whatever they desired" (i.e.
killed him). Indeed, "so also the Son of Man is going to suffer at
their hands" (Matt. 17:11,12).
The point here is two-fold: 1) The complete "restoration of all things"
is yet future as stated in Acts 3:21. 2) The coming fulfillment in its
greater sense is predicated upon Christ's return to reign in glory(as
opposed to a "Rapture of the Church to heaven" for which biblical
confirmation is notably lacking). In this interest Scripture
accordingly notes that "We see not yet all things" (Heb. 2:8).
Scriptural fulfillment is not yet complete.

We beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and
by our gathering together unto him, That ye be not soon shaken in mind,
or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from
us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come,
except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be
revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above
all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God
sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these
things? And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in
his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who
now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume
with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of
his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with
all power and signs and lying wonders.
And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and
they worshipped the beast.
And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two
horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the
power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them
which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was
healed.
And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from
heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell
on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in
the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that
they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword,
and did live.
And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the
image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would
not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond,
to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that
no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the
beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath
understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a
man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
.
Both of these passages were in the future to the
writers. They do not say, "In the 21st century, it

.
Shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more
ungodliness. And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is
Hymenaeus and Philetus; Who concerning the truth have erred, saying
that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
The Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice
of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ
shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up
together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so
shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with
these words.
After that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall
not give her light, And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers
that are in heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of
man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. And then shall he
send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four
winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of
heaven.

We would suggest, my friend, that Jesus clearly spoke of a coming
restoration (or to use his terminology, "regeneration") in Matthew
19:28: "Truly I say to you, that you who have followed Me, in the
regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on His glorious throne, you
also shal sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of
Israel."
Regarding Christ's glorious throne in the "regeneration," Luke defines
its promised reign and fulfillment in terms of "the throne of David."
It is, we would aver, a concept largely inapplicable to the present
reign of Christ's Kingdom.
Further, since Jesus relates his "glorious throne" to the Disciple's
own reign in a specifically defined sense of Israeli tribal
identification, we fail to see where one would discern either past or
present fulfillment, figuratively or factually.

===>You are pointing out some unrealistic details in a couple of
books of fiction.
Obviously, Jesus never sat on the throne of David, as his mom
was promised according to the birth story in LUKE. You might
consider that the author made a liar out of his "angel" that
got Mary to submit to being impregnated according to that
story. The story suggests Jesus did expect it to happen, although
why he would think that the "twelve tribes" could be rounded
up under his kingship is difficult to imagine. -- L.

"We"? Who's "we"? Do you claim to speak for all?
The fact is, nowhere does the Bible teach any "thousand
year reign of Christ", or any of that garbage.
Secondly, you make the same mistake that the scribes
and Pharisees did.
Jesus is already King and the Bible does not teach
Jesus coming to Earth to reign anywhere, in any
Scripture. In fact, it teaches the opposite.
Luke 17:20-21
20) And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the
kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said,
The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
Note that the Pharisees wanted to know when the Kingdom
of God would come to the Earth.
Now what was Jesus' response???
"The Kingdom of God cometh NOT WITH OBSERVATION".
I.e., YOU WON'T SEE IT WITH YOUR EYES! :)
Thus when Jesus speaks of "seeing Him", He is not
talking about an ocular seeing, but rather, the
understanding of His judgment being present on that
day, just as Jesus noted elsewhere about "seeing" and
"understanding"...
"He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart;
that they should not see with their eyes, nor
understand with their heart, and be converted, and I
should heal them." - Matthew 12:40
Now, were they LITERALLY BLIND?
Paul also noted it...
"The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that
ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what
the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the
saints," - Ephesians 1:8
21) Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for,
behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
They WON'T say, "look here, or look there"!
The Kingdom of God is WITHIN YOU. It is NOT a new
literal, physical kingdom set up after the destruction
of heaven and earth
And note that Jesus told His disciples NOT to believe
it, when someone says He is here. Yet you want us to
look for that.

You have accused me of supporting the "Rapture of the Church to heaven"
concept which, as I previously pointed out to you, I do not support and

In other words, you are now bringing up past

issue, so you don't have to answer to the rebuttal of
your claims.
Also, do you have a second verse to your song?
In typical end timer fashion, you snip the points made
and try to wiggle out of the conversation.

He will be great, and will be named the Son of the Most High:

He will have rule over the house of Jacob for ever,
and of his kingdom there will be no end." (BEB)
Luke 1:67-75
Zacharias..."said these words:
....the Lord, the God of Israel, ...has come to his people and made them free,
....Salvation from those who are against us,
and from the hands of those who have hate for us;
....That we, being made free from the fear of those who are against us,
might give him worship, In righteousness and holy living before him
all our days." -- L.
