The idea that Jesus realized the hope of the Tanakh without actually doing it is simply ludicrous. All such hermeneutical gymnastics are both unbiblical and unrealistic. Tell any orthodox Jew that the kingdom of God has been inaugurated, and he/she will laugh at you and point to the temple mount as proof of your Gentile ignorance. The world is obviously as broken and depraved as ever. Truly, it takes a mountain of inaugurational indoctrination to believe that the new heavens and new earth are already happening. - John P. Harrigan, the Gospel of Christ Crucified, p.188
