Gen 15:13-14 Then He said to Abram: "Know certainly that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not theirs, and will serve...
You would think that sufficient to discard the suggestion that Jesus was speaking of something future.
(What did you see in the future, Jesus.?)
(I saw Myself crucified, and another Zecharias murdered. )
My preference is this guy:
Zec 1:1 In the eighth month of the second year of Darius, the...
Yes. Josephus gives us some valuable insights into Jewish history. I'm thinking that being a righteous man called Zechariah is hazardous to health.
69AD so after the statement by Jesus, who is thought to have been prophesying by some commentators.

the knowledge of the Son of God,
“In essentials, unity. In doubtful questions, liberty. In all things, charity.”

Eph 4:10-16 He who descended is also the One who ascended far above all the heavens, that He might fill all things.) (11) And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, (12) for the equipping of the saints for...
Seems right. Obviously Joseph of Arimathea heard enough to convince him. The word translated disciple is mathētēs in the Greek. What's in a name . .?
Mat 27:57 Now when evening had come, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who himself had also become a disciple of Jesus.

(WEB) Psa 1:1-6 Blessed is the man who doesn’t
walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor
stand on the path of sinners, nor
sit in the seat of scoffers;
(2) but his delight is in Yahweh’s law. On his law he meditates day and night. (3) He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water...
Psa 107:23-30 Those who go down to the sea in ships, Who do business on great waters, (24) They see the works of the LORD, And His wonders in the deep. (25) For He commands and raises the stormy wind, Which lifts up the waves of the sea. (26) They mount up to the heavens, They go down...
The trustworthy one.
Theistic Evolutionists propose millions of years of random mutations and physical death prior to the arrival of human beings, and then claim only spiritual death is the punishment and curse for sin. The Bible dispels this notion, especially in Romans 8:23, speaking of the...
