I hope no one here thinks I am fostering a purely spiritual, past-tense return of Jesus. There may be lots of ways He comes to us; plenty of ways we can experience His presence. The destruction of Jerusalem was one of those ways. But I also believe in a LITERAL AND FINAL return of Christ, at the Resurrection, where He will judge the "quick and the dead" -- all of which is still future.
