No, he was speaking protectively about his followers and how he was going to get them through the worst chapter of Israel. AND IT WORKED! That is the inexplicable thing about D'ist people!!! Here we are today and we are here because of something that almost didn't work!!! They nearly did not get out from under the zealots and out of the area. You make Christ into a space case, and you sound like one yourself by not knowing the gritty, amazing, phenomenal, supernatural detail that is the historic event of the destruction of Jerusalem, the final sledge of wrath against Israel fulfilling all the prophets, Lk 21.
You, inc. Danoh who knows, never go over the 7-8 astounding signatory or 'signs and wonders' that took place in the event IN DETAIL. There is always the lazy dismissal of course, but not the detail. He (J) really didn't want to report many of them, but he kept running into independent accounts of the same thing and he believed he had to: the cannabilism, the sword hanging over the city, the intense heat at the base of the temple which was still there several years later stopping reconstruction, the sound of roaring like a wind, the voice that made a play on the Hebrew 'ichabod' about departing from this place, etc, etc, etc.
I would think you would use these things to their fullness, but all I ever hear is the know-it-all dismissal by people like Danoh and several others, because of the precious 2P2P principle, or some dastardly belief that 'if it is not in the Bible, it is irrelevant or never happened.' Etc.
Well, the arrogant Thoreau ordered Bible pages to be used to wipe yourself with in the toilet, only to learn later that Biblical knowledge flourished by doing so. So God kicked butt. It's not in the Bible, so...is it therefore to be disregarded? What sort of mentality is that? There is absolutely no event in antiquity that was as astonishing and no record as extensive as the DoJ, but you people with your experts in 2P2P and your plans and your gospels just act like it is trash by comparison.
