The 70's

1. You're right about the possibility of accepting the kingdom the first time. That's where prophecy and foreknowledge come in. God knew they weren't going to accept Jesus the first time and gave us a way to understand the "when" of the second chance. No, Palm Sunday wasn't a jubilee year, because Israel was never going to corporately accept the first presentation of the Kingdom.

Ok so addressing the confusion with Jesus quoting from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4. Proclaimimg the acceptable year of the Lord = Repent ye for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand.

It's what His entire ministry served to do (Matthew 4) and what He instructed His disciples to preach in Matthew 10, as well. It didnt have to do with that year. It had to do specifically with the presentation of the Kingdom. That's what Daniel's 70 Weeks are all about... the two presentations of the Kingdom. Jesus was prophesying about Palm Sunday, but they knew not the time of their visitation, as Luke 19 says. Hence, the coming of the Kingdom was delayed and many other events set into motion, beginning with blindness being cast over Israel's eyes.
