Mitch. there is no question that Jesus prophesied the 70AD destruction of the temple and the end of the age.(Jewish Age.) Historically, the war with the Romans had been ocurring 3 or 4years before that. Josephus, the Jewish General and historian acknowledges Jesus words that this generation of Jews were infamous for their sinfulness and the murder of the prophets up to and including Stephen, who was stoned to death for preaching Christ resurrected in the Jewish temple. Josephus has some chilling accounts of some of the acts being performed prior to the Romans encircling Jerusalem during passover holiday, catching many thousands of Jewish visitors from all over Israel attending the event. Josephus numbers the dead at 1,100,000 not counting captives. There may have been a few in number after that but for all practical purpose, the Jewish Age was over, ushering in Christianity. As to when where and how the spirit of man dwelt during the years mentioned by you, I must admit that I am not that familiar with it. Perhaps there was a different place that the souls of man were before they entered Heaven during the period I gave you. Paulanity? Thats a new one on me. I can understand possibly why you might say that since Paul was the hand picked man by Christ to bring in the Age of Grace to the Gentiles.(Jews too although he had to mostly give up on converting them as they were after him big time for preaching Christ crucified. Seems they didn't want to take the fall for that one either. But fall they did because of there refusal to accept Christ as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Santiago

Firstly, what do you mean by "dealt with the Jews"? Do you believe that Jesus was responsible for the Jewish massacre and destruction of the second temple? I believe that God dispersed the Jews and ended the nation of Israel in order to spread the Christians through other lands, forcing them to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Otherwise the Christians would have stayed in Israel being that all Jews were naturally clannish and kept to themselves. The dispersion was the beginning of the "times of the gentiles", an age that is now closing.
