So in Jeremiah 29:5 KJV (but read the whole chapter) it is said that they would be taken into captivity and it would be for a long time Jeremiah 29:28 KJV .
Now at some point all this would end and the Kingdom would be restored Acts 1:6-7 KJV and after what is being told to Daniel about "his people" then and only after the entire set of times of their captivity have been accomplished then they wont be ruled by the kingdom’s any longer.
But the issue is this that is in those days Rome,the fourth beast,great and terrible is still in charge and still over the "thy people" just like Jeremiah and the angel said.
So then along comes Paul,(Romans 13:1 KJV),Peter,(1Peter 2:13-14 KJV) and the writer of Hebrews,(Hebrews 13:17 KJV) and as if they still think the fourth beast is still in power(Rome) they tell us to acknowledge the authority as if from God,(Romans 13:1 KJV).
Now so what do you suggest Israel do should they take the advice of the apostles and obey the authority set over them in ad66(Rome=4th beast) or rebel and act as though the 4th beast no longer has them in exile like Jeremiah,the angel and Daniel said?
Now somebody is really confusing something that is some conclude that the 70 weeks had all come to it's finality by ad70. In ad66 if you notice those same "thy people" decided to revolt against the authority of the 4th beast better known as the "first Jewish revolt" and it backfired,right?
So who is right,is it the apostles advising that they acknowledge that authority as by God or revolt and act as if that forth beast no longer has authority over them and it's time has ended?
P.S. maintain the distinction...
If Paul thought that it was time to revolt, it doesn't show anywhere. Instead the early church preached that the AofD was also the 'rebellion that desolates' of Dan 8, and would ruin the country. Rome was vigilant since the revolt of Judas the Galilean in 6 AD (during the census, Acts 5:37), about these zealot groups. Part of Pilate's 'I find no fault in him' about Jesus is that Jesus was changing the thinking of zealots, giving to Caesar what was Caesars. Many of the disciples had zealot upbringings.
