"In some cases, predictions about the [OT] suffering servant are immediately next to prophecies about King Messiah, without any mention of a more-than-two-thousand-year gap between them (e.g., cross-reference Isaiah 61:1 ff and Jesus’ commentary in Luke 4:21)."

What is so special about the age of antiquity that God would designate it as the single most important time period of his coming? Answer: nothing at all. On the other hand, 'the end of the age' (Matt. 28:20) makes Christ’s advent much more pressing than it would otherwise be considering the extraordinarily horrific circumstances that will engulf the earth. Better still, don’t you find it odd that a supposed contemporary Jew who rose from the dead made less impact on the Jews than Moses the Egyptian who died and was buried more than a thousand years earlier? (Deut. 34:5-6). Have you ever stopped to wonder why the Jews never accepted Jesus as their Messiah? Could it be because he never really existed? Think about it. And if Jesus already came, then why do we find a prophecy of his incarnation at the end of days in the book of Revelation chapter 12?

The day of the LORD is near, for the LORD has prepared a sacrifice.
