@Kameron Waters - When Yeshua is saying that the Kingdom of Heaven is at Hand/Near (Eggizo), he isn't saying here is Heaven, he is saying that the prophecies concerning the Divine manifest in this world down near Hell have come.

When we do a Bible word search in software like Esword with a KJV+, on the terminology Eggizo (G1448), it has been translated as 'at hand', yet it can mean 'to be near'...

In Luke 21's eschatology is some of the clearest usages of Eggizo: first we have the warning about the fraudulent "I Am" statements, that we find in the Sanhedrin's made up Gospel of John (Luke 21:8), and then it warns about those who will say the 'time draws near' - like Saul & Simon petros (Christianity) used to scare people into following them.

In Luke 21:20's usage of Eggizo is specifically about the 2nd temple destruction, and that Judgement would come on Israel for having murdered their Messiah, as prophesied in Zechariah 11; where under the Curse of Moses (Deuteronomy 28), they'd be Exiled among the Nations, so that the time of the Gentiles could happen.

In Luke 21:28's usage of Eggizo is the Parable of the Fig before Summer, where I've been sent prior to the Great Tribulation as the final warning to mankind, as we close the Bed of Adultery, and then remove the Prytsim from reality - where the 'sun & moon being darkened, and stars falling from the sky', is that Betelgeuse is prophesied to be seen to have gone supernova as Armageddon happens (Isaiah 13:10, Ezekiel 32:7, Zechariah 14:7, Amos 5:8).

@Aaron Abke - Your doctrine really worries us, as it's near Prytsim, and though you reject 'Pauline Insanity', you've still managed to use some of it as your standards...

When we remove the fraudulent Gospel of John, Yeshua did not "lay his life down" - according to the Synoptic Gospels the Sanhedrin planned to murder him, and by this action they paid their own Bill of Divorce (Zechariah 11), and placed the Curse of Moses upon themselves (Deuteronomy 28).

When Yeshua said to the Disciples, 'that he who is greatest is he who serves, just as the Son of Man came to serve, and give his life as a ransom' (Matthew 20:25-28), he was saying that in the contexts of going out ministering, healing, and making the world a better place for God, not that he acted as a Ransom Sacrifice in some way.

Aaron if you don't repent of murdering the Messiah as the Good News, then you'll also have 'Innocent Blood' still on you, and at the Judgement Day Fire, you'd get removed as a Prytsim.

The real reason the 2nd temple came down, is because God ordained it, and prophesied it would happen because of them murdering their Messiah for 30 pieces of silver (Zechariah 11, etc); when we look at Yeshua's statements in the Garden of Gethsemane (Mark 14:32-36), and as he stood over the city (Luke 19:41-44), he would rather have not had to die, so he didn't do it on purpose to destroy the temple, as you've just suggested.
