    As agedman said, this has been a good thread. I thank all who have participated. Everyone has had a great attitude and kept it civil. I have been able to present enough of modern dispensationalism that I hope its opponents on the BB will speak from understanding now if they must criticize, and not ignorance.

    Thanks and God bless! :)

    Yes...good passage...quoted by the Apostles in Acts 4 explaining how the Kingdom has begun;
    24 And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is:

    25 Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things?

    26 The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ.

    27 For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together,


    28 For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done.

    29 And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word,

    30 By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus.

    Why do you think this passage was introduced here?

    You are completely missing the point of why I highlighted that word. Read the verse again and notice the red word.

    I think you will find the word clearly implies a future kingdom "of this world" that at the time Jesus was speaking "NOW...is not", meaning in the future will be.

    Um no, I don't see how the word now implies a future kingdom on this earth.

    Let me ask, Who is in the millennium? Souls? Physical Bodies? Or resurrected bodies?
    Does death happen during it?

    He didn't confirm it either. After Pentecost they no longer mentioned that.
