Days Of Vengeance Of Our Lord

Home
The acceptable year of the Lord happened about 2000 years ago, at Christ's first advent.
Some believe that the Days of vengeance of our God will happen at Christ's Second Coming.
But according to Jesus Christ, the days of vengeance of God happened some 40 years after the acceptable
year of the Lord.
Luke 4:18 "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel
to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and
recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,"
V19 "To preach the acceptable year of the Lord."
V20 "And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them
that were in the synagogue were fastened on him."
V21 "And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears."
Jesus was quoting Isaiah 61.
V1 "The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;" V2 "To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;"
V1 "The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;" V2 "To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;"
But He didn't quote all of it. He stopped reading after He said, "This day is this scripture fulfilled
in your ears."
Some believe that the last part of Isaiah will not be fulfilled until the start of the future seven year
"Great Tribulation." But about three and a half years after Jesus began His ministry, He said this in Luke 21:
V22 "For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled."
He was speaking of the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple. That happened only about 40 years
later, in AD70. After AD70, therefore, no Old Testament prophecy would ever be fulfilled. So, everything that
Isaiah, Jeremiah, Daniel, or any other Old Testament prophet prophesied, happened, one way or another at that time.
That puts a whole different slant on the teaching of biblical prophecy, and everything begins to make sense, particularly the "time of the end," or "the last days," or "last times," and so forth. Those are not the "last days" of the world in general, but thelast days of Israel. This raises a question, even of the so-called Rapture of the Church. That had already happened around AD70. It happened to the Church, all right, but not to the present-day Gentile Church, as we have believed. It happened to the first century Church, made up of Jews who remained faithful to Christ for forty years.
Among the myriads of Scripture verses which will now make sense is Matthew 24:13 "But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved." We explore that next .
