Kingdom Now, Not Yet

Israel's land promise - fulfilled

Israel's return from exile, rebuilt Temple (Ezekiel's Temple); resumed Levitical worship, destruction of its enemies, and nations offering incense to God and making pilgrimages to Jerusalem to keep the Feast of Tabernacles, etc - fulfilled

The Messenger prepares Messiah's way; the Lord suddenly comes to His Temple; the Levites and all Judaea purified, and offer a pure offering; Messiah's ministry; His death and resurrection; the New Covenant; Israel's salvation; receiving the Kingdom - fulfilled

The co-salvation of the Gentiles, in one new body - fulfilled

Persecution; distress on nations; great tribulation; Jerusalem besieged; the abomination of desolation; destruction of the Temple; scattering of the Jews - fulfilled

Now the Gospel of the Kingdom continues to be preached to all nations - and then the end shall come.

Then comes the end - the second coming; resurrection of the dead; eternal judgment; appearing of the Kingdom; new heavens and a new earth.
