put Jesus back on earth, on a literal throne, in
literal Jerusalem. ALL was fulfilled when Jesus
died, was raised from the dead, and ascended to
the Father.

Reasons Why Jesus Could Not Return to Reign on
the Earth

• 1. He is our High Priest Forever after the
  order of Melchizedek Hebrews 620
• 2. If He comes back to sit on literal throne of
  David, He will have to Cease Being Our High
  Priest since under Law of Moses He would not be
  qualified to be a Priest
• 3. 1 Chronicles 316 Jeremiah 2224,30- could
  not prosper on throne of David Matthew 111,12
