The reason for all the confusion is while Jesus was yet alive, the preparation for salvation was, "REPENT for the Kingdom of Heaven is near". That was the Gospel, or good news, that the disciples preached BEFORE Jesus' passion and resurrection. AFTER the resurrection, The Gospel ,in it's fullness, was," believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved". Mixing these two events, (before the resurrection, and afterward), is the source of the confusion.

Nice theory, but two verses can destroy it.
2 Timothy 1:9 (HCSB)
9 He has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began.
Malachi 3:6 (ESV)
6 “For I the LORD do not change;
therefore you, O children of Jacob, are not consumed.

It is going to happen at exactly the time He ordained from the beginning
That is not "postponed" that is absolutely perfect timing exactly according to His schedule.
It is that people got the time wrong, and did not understand, not that God had to adjust His plans. Just as He told them - not for you to know the times and seasons.

Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord
Of course it's saying Christ died for sins, he does his have to use the exact same words of Paul to be speaking the same doctrine.
(Acts 5:31 Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.)
(John 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.)

I just need to correct my previous response to this:

There is a Mystery in the bible that I have been trying to solve, and today, I finally SOLVED IT.
I found the most SIGNIFICANT find, that absolutely without a doubt, that PROVES the TEMPLE belongs in the CITY OF DAVID.
2 Samuel 5:7 (ESV)
7 Nevertheless, David took the stronghold of Zion, that is, the city of David.
Lamentations 2:6 (HCSB)
6 He has done violence to His temple as if ⌊it were⌋ a garden ⌊booth⌋, destroying His place of meeting. The LORD has abolished appointed festivals and Sabbaths in Zion. He has despised king and priest in His fierce anger.
2 Chronicles 3:1 (YLT)
1 And Solomon beginneth to build the house of Jehovah, in Jerusalem, in the mount of Moriah, where He appeared to David his father, in the place that David had prepared, in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite,
Mount Moriah today, know as the TEMPLE MOUNT, would be about 750 - 800 feet north of the City of David, where Mount Zion once stood. So HOW DO WE RECTIFY THAT SUPPOSED ERROR ? ? ? The Jews INSIST it is on Mount Moriah, yet modern day archaeologists insist it was on Mount Zion.
QUOTE:
The topographic map shows that Mount Moriah is not a single peak, but an elongated ridge which commences to rise at its Southern end at the junction of the Kidron and Hinnom Valleys, at the original City of David, (elevation approximately 600 meters).

It covers the area north of the Golden Dome, all the way through the City of DAVID, to the Southern end where it meets the Kidron Valley. So Mount Zion is in the Middle of Mount Moriah.
In the Middle of that RIDGE is the OPHEL, and it is the southern part of OPHEL where archaeologists now believe the TEMPLE should be location, and NO PALESTINIAN has any claim there. If you want to know more, please refer to my thread: https://christianchat.com/bible-discussion-forum/third-temple-news.155526/page-80
