How many yrs did it take for Christ to appear....That doesn't impart a lot of confidence.
The New Testament avers the veracity of those things. They occurred in a reasonable span of time, albeit in ways counter to Israelite convention (or specifically to Jewish convention).
But it's been thousands of years already under your paradigm (or nearly 2000 years for the temple), and what? Still waiting? When has anything in the Scriptures ever taken that long?
And how do those things materialize? In what possible ways?
Adherence to ancient Jewish custom is your prerogative, but to my mind, modern Jewish thought seems to have abandoned that ancient temple plantation, which by general metrics seems reasonable. Even Christians who claim those prophecies are not fulfilled get mocked and jeered.
