"It will be seen that the A.D. 70 consummation of Old Testament Israel was the focus of “the future” and “the end” taught in the gospel." (page 8)
"It will be shown, therefore, that this eschatological goal of the gospel was reached in the A.D. 70 consummation, when all things written were fulfilled" (page 20)
"Paul goes on to point out concerning Israel, “And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again” (v. 23). This commonly is interpreted to mean that throughout the Christian age any Jew converted to Christ shall be saved. That is true, however it isn’t Paul’s point here. First, when Paul speaks of “Israel” he has in mind more than contemporary Jews of his day. And BY NO MEANS IS HE THINKING OF JEWS IN THE CENTURIES FOLLOWING THE END OF THE JEWISH AGE IN AD 70." (page 11)
"The coming of the kingdom of Christ (Matt. 16:28) or the kingdom of God in power (Mk. 9:1) was the end result of Christ’s pre-end-of-the-Jewish-age reign. The continued presence of the Jewish age until its end in A.D. 70 marks the period of Christ’s absence." (page 42)
"We conclude, therefore, that there is only ONE coming of Christ and his kingdom, that it occurred in the A.D. 70 consummation, that it fulfilled the coming of the kingdom of God in power" (page 44)
"This was the future (the end) affirmed by Paul in 1 Cor. 15:24, when through the age-changing reign of Christ, DEATH, the last enemy, was destroyed. THEN the reign of God was established eternally in the new heavens and earth. THEN the dead were raised incorruption and the mortal put on immortality the prophecy of Isaiah 25:8 was fulfilled, "Death is swallowed up in victory." THEN, the sting of death forever was removed, because that which was its sting (SIN), and that which was sin's strength (THE LAW) had no place in the new heavens and earth. THEN God's promise to Israel to "make an end of sins" and to "bring in everlasting righteousness" was fulfilled. THEN was won the victory through Jesus Christ. THEN the salvation which is of the Jews came to its full realization and manifestation through the revelation of Jesus Christ. THEN all things written were fulfilled. THEN the mission of the Old Testament in bringing us to Christ was accomplished. NOTHING failed. NOTHING was delayed. NOTHING was postponed. NOTHING was carried into the Christian age unfulfilled.
