You have an interesting take on those quotes. I really don't have a take on them. I do on some, just not those. Old testament prophesies I find a little more iffy than new. Even new I ponder.
There really are no inconsistencies between the prophecies of the old and new -and my take on them is based on them.
People today seem think in terms of harps and halos, but both the old and new testaments describe a less-than-pleasant (to say the least) process of first making people governABLE by experiences before accepting that which will give them freely more than they can imagine -more than they could ever sin to gain.
The return of Christ, for example, is often thought of as a peaceful event -but even the new testament says otherwise.
It will BRING peace -and end war -but it will actually BE a war between Christ and his "camp" and the military forces still in existence at that point.
Afterward, he will rule with a rod of iron -though gently -to ENFORCE and teach peace to the remnant of humanity for a thousand years.
However, the "rest of the dead" which are not resurrected at his return will be resurrected after the thousand years. Some will receive eternal life then -and some will be further purified before receiving it -as it says "saved, yet so as by fire".
Zech 14:1Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
2For
I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. 4And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
Rev17:11And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
12And the
ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. 13These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
14These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him
are called, and chosen, and faithful.
Rev11:17saying: “We give thanks to You, Lord God Almighty, the One who is and who was; You have taken Your great power and begun to reign. 18
The nations were enraged, and Your wrath has come. The time has come to judge the dead, and to reward Your servants, the prophets and saints, and those who fear Your name, both small and great, and to destroy those who destroy the earth.”
Joel 2:7They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks:
8Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path: and
when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded.
9They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up upon the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief.
10The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining:
11And
the LORD shall utter his voice before his army: for
his camp is very great: for
he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of the LORD
is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?
Isaiah 2:2And it shall come to pass
in the last days,
that the mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.
3And
many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
4And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
neither shall they learn war any more.
Some are willing to be peaceful and do rightly (the meek shall inherit the earth). Others must be made willing -but they will also have opportunity if they turn.
So -because we are not personally responsible, we will be "governed" until we become so -and we will then be free to create without conflict throughout the universe.
