99 Time Indicators
What all of these scriptures together indicate is that it was in the first century AD that Jesus Christ came again with his holy angels taking vengeance on the nation of Israel for not knowing God and not obeying the gospel that had been preached to them for 40 years. Immediately after the tribulation of those days there was a resurrection of all those who had died in the earth from the beginning up to that time. This included a judgement, first of His people in the house of God and then a general judgement of the rest of the dead small and great.
Thus Jesus came again in the first century with the kingdom that the Ancient of Days, (spoken of by Daniel) had given him and it was established on earth as the only world empire. Christians are now citizens of that spiritual kingdom.1. Repent, for the kingdom of the heavens is at hand! (Matt. 3:2)
