I said that the person, Jesus, as in the person we are told of in the Gospels, does not actively participate in a slaughter.
Zech 14:3-4 "Then the LORD will go out and fight against those nations, as he fights in the day of battle. On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half of the mountain moving north and half moving south."
(I know, I know, you say the Lord will not fight any battles.... tisk tisk.)
You seem to be confusing two very different things, and to use your term, conflating them. I am pretty sure that Jesus talking about this judgement was him judging against the country which rejected him. He was not talking about people mistreating Israel.

Now, at His return will be the "Sheep and Goats" judgment, where Christ will judge the nations for how they treated His people and nation Israel, and for dividing up the land for a Palestinian state:
Joel 1:1-2 "In those days and at that time, when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem, I will gather all nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. There I will enter into judgment against them concerning my inheritance, my people Israel, for they scattered my people among the nations and divided up my land.

You are heavily injecting politics into your religion and to me demonstrates exactly why this particular religion was invented in the first place, which is to make people blindly accept evil for good, for the sake of an ideology that is completely fabricated, made out of whole cloth.edit on 24-8-2011 by jmdewey60 because: (no reason given)

Yeah, we all know what you personally think. However that really only matters in your head.
Mathew 24covers judgment against Judea and its destruction.
Try again. The last noun preceeding "them" is "all nations". Christ is gathering "all nations" to judge them for their treatment of His people and for dividing His land. Thus openly defying the Abrahamic land covenant.
not one stone will be left on another
And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached throughout the whole inhabited earth as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.
For then there will be great suffering unlike anything that has happened from the beginning of the world until now, or ever will happen
Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and all the tribes of the earth will mourn.
Therefore you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.
then the master of that slave will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not foresee, and will cut him in two, and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Later, the other virgins came too, saying, ‘Lord, lord! Let us in!’ But he replied, ‘I tell you the truth, I do not know you!’ Therefore stay alert, because you do not know the day or the hour.
But the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken from him. And throw that worthless slave into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
“When the Son of Man comes in his glory and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. All the nations will be assembled before him, and he will separate people one from another like a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left. Then the king will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.’ Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or naked and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ And the king will answer them, ‘I tell you the truth, just as you did it for one of the least of these brothers or sisters of mine, you did it for me.’
“Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you accursed, into the eternal fire that has been prepared for the devil and his angels! For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink. I was a stranger and you did not receive me as a guest, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’ Then they too will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not give you whatever you needed?’ Then he will answer them, ‘I tell you the truth, just as you did not do it for one of the least of these, you did not do it for me.’ And these will depart into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
Here's what I came up with concerning a lion of Judah.
He's coming again as a lion.
. . .a young lion to the house of Judah. I myself will tear them to pieces. . .
Don't see anything here about United Nations Security Council resolutions against Israel here or peace treaties with Palestine here.

The idea being is that people can interact between each other concerning such ideas and thoughts and perhaps there could be results such as people being able to take different perspectives from others, and see their own thoughts in a different light and be able to improve their ideas into a more coherent and useful sort of philosophy.
You have a different approach which is you are absolutely right and no change whatsoever is possible since you can not improve on perfection. So you aren't really a participant at all and might as well just put up a blog, The Truth and Do Not Dare Disagree.

"And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold,the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof." Revelation 5:5
"I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. Revelation 22:16
You never show any evidence that there is any thought process other than you looking up all your answers from a cult manual.
You're more than welcome to share your thoughts and ideas, no one claimed you're not. But if your thoughts, ideas, and personal opinions don't align with the Word of God they're irrelevant in the regards of what the Word of God has to say on the matter. There are 1,800+ references in the OT to Christ ruling and reigning on Earth, from Jerusalem, from the throne of David. There are 17 OT books that give prominence to the issue explicitly. So much so that that was a major reason the Jewish authorities overlooked Jesus as the Messiah is because they were so focused on Him ruling and reigning on Earth.

2JN 1:7 Many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist.
I didn't miss anything, those in Revelation is the subject of which I was looking for an explanation of. If you remember, it was you who brought it up to explain your two or three Jesus theory. A man Jesus, then the slain lamb of Revelation Jesus and then the Lion of Judah Jesus who is the killer Jesus.
Missed one:
Jesus is "the root" of David.

You have all these doctrines but are not anything you arrived at yourself but just repeat as you have heard come from someone else.
If it is this man who you have posted videos of, I don't think he came up with any original thought, either. He seems to be following a script and he probably is financed by some foundation to promote pro Israel religion. I don't think that is at all far fetched.
You are going to have to provide some of those verses because I can't find a single one about Jesus on David's throne. That's one example and there are a lot of things that you say that I can't find verses for. There are probably some verses about someone ruling in Jerusalem but not in connection to some sort of covenent.
From the commentaries on the Bible that I read, Jesus took up a better throne and is what David prophesied of. I read the ones that are right there at Biblos.com and Bible.org which is where I get most my reference material from, so I am not getting my info from some blog.
I google things like something you say, and don't read the actual material so much as comb through it to see what verses they are quoting and a lot of times it is zero.
What? They were wrong but you are right to focus on him ruling?
"Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven."

The only reference I could find was of a punishment for Israel, not someone going and punishing the enemies of Israel. If you have another explanation then go ahead and give it.
