The Crucifixion of Jesus and it's Relation to Eschatology

This situation is troubling my soul! My apologies Loren but I am purposely derailing the thread here...I want to ensure that all of us remember a few things when posting here, or conversing off line, face to face with folks, in line at the supermarket or wherever. Just because this is an internet forum does not mean that we're are robots and not people on the other side of the screen behind our keyboards! 

2 Tim 2:22 "But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes."
Albert Barnes commentary from Bible Hub - 
But foolish and unlearned questions avoid; --- The word "unlearned," here, means "trifling; that which does not tend to edification; stupid." The Greeks and the Hebrews were greatly given to controversies of various kinds, and many of the questions discussed pertained to points which could not be settled, or which, if settled, were of no importance. Such has been the character of no small part of the disputes which have agitated the world. Paul correctly says that the only effect of such disputes is to engender harsh contention. Points of real importance can be discussed with no injury to the temper; but people cannot safely dispute about trifles.

No accusations of deliberately causing contention or strife, yet contentions and strife happen. So a reminder to all that discussion of any topic is welcome, questions - welcome, differences of opinions - welcome! However, bring these conversations in humility, in fact if you have any aught do yourself a favor and check it at the door take it up with the Father before posting. If you still feel anything but love and respect for others, don't post.

One verse has been ringing in my head all night which is the cause for this reply! 
Romans 12:17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Carefully consider what is right in the eyes of everybody. 18 If it is possible on your part, live at peace with everyone. 19 Do not avenge yourselves, beloved, but leave room for God’s wrath. For it is written: “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” 20 On the contrary, “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink. For in so doing, you will heap burning coals on his head.” - to be clear verse 18 is the emphasis and I am not suggesting anyone here is the enemy or an enemy but take this to heart when we converse. Isnt this our charge in the Lord!? Don't those who are evil love each other and treat each other well. We should treat each other better than those who don't know the Lord.

Luke 6:32 For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them. 33 And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same. 34 And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again. 35 But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. 36 Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. How dare any of us not show mercy to one another! Especially our brothers and sisters! God Forgive us!!

Hebrews 12:14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: 15 Be careful that no one falls short of the grace of God, so that no root of bitterness will spring up to cause trouble and defile many.

Romans 14:19
  So then, let us pursue what leads to peace and to mutual edification.

Proverbs 15:1 A soft answer turns away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.

Matthew 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

I could go on...please read, digest and live in 1 Cor 13 - thank you, my rant is over. Please continue to discuss how the Crucifixion relates to Escatology
