Steve,
Like I said before, I already gave you detailed explanations on how
these prophecies and Words were fulfilled, but for Loves sake I will
repeat.
"Matthew 5
17 Think not that I came to destroy the law or the prophets: I came not to destroy, but
to fulfil."
Jesus clearly fulfilled the both the law and the prophets when he died
on Calvary and was raised from the dead. Christians now receive
their perfect righteousness through faith in his shed blood.
His righteouness--or perfect keeping of the law---is our righteouness
through faith. That is the fulfillment.
Psalm 137
5 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, Let my right hand forget [her skill].
6 Let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth, If I remember thee not;
If I prefer not
Jerusalem Above my chief joy.
Jerusalem was always symbolic of God presence among his children. It
was in Jerusalem that the Shekinah Glory--the Holy Spirit--dwelt in
the Holy of Holies. Now the Shekinah Glory dwells in the New Covenant
Temples---the hearts of men. It was the children of Abraham who possessed
the faith of Abraham who dwelt and worshipped in Jerusalem that made
Jerusalem special in the Old Test. and not the geograph,race or the stones
and timbers. Jesus came and redeemed the Jerusalem of the Old Covenant
and established the New Covenant with his Christain people. God has never forgotton or forsaken
the real Jerusalem. The Jews who rejected Jesus were looking for a
wordly Jerusalem with a worldly kingdom where men worshipped in Temples
rather than in Spirit and in Truth. Under the New Covenant, Jerusalem
is the heart of the believers.
In Love
