>he WASN'T speaking metaphorically
Very good point. That was in a time the physical was the law. So He kept the law.
Today, however, the law is the spirit (symbolic) based on that time, and on just such words.
Excellent question.
Jesus told them the times were not for them to know back then. But we know them now. That is what changes the whole paradigm of interpreting the sacred texts. They were written for exactly this purpose - to conceal sacred wisdom and inspiration solely for the latter day man - because they could not use it back then (remember the first tablets?), it needed to be kept from the adversary, and it sets us all free today because it speaks so loudly against the real threats of our time, and to our benefit.
The 1850's were a different time (in the third day). We live now in the fourth day however, when nothing is hidden any more.
You must have not yet reviewed the Snow White/AI OP doc. It takes some time, but it makes everything make sense.
Myself and you as well. Yes, we have higher authority than they did back then. All authority is given to the son of man in this time (The time of man "Adam" ended 20 years ago at the end of 6K years - 4004bc to 1997 ad - making present time man the son of man.). And to bolster that authority all things are now revealed via the unsealed encryptions of Moses, the prophets and the apostles.
And we will do greater things than even He did because of it.

This is exactly what I have been wanting to say, but I can explain why too.
It all goes back to the forces of nature (or creation authority).
The ancients deemed our time a time of new creation,
when the forces of divine creation are availed unto man.
It's all about understanding the basic changes of life process,
and seeing how they work in all things. But it has all come now
because of the same process the ancients knew of
and catered to extensively in sacred writings.
What has changed is we have entered the fourth dimension,
which is understanding time and how it relates to these
as well as to how to newly interpret the ancient sacred texts.
Knowing the times of these processes now gives us a new way
to interpret Scripture, and to find what is hidden for us thereby.
Such hidden ancient wisdom is what first "upset the apple cart" of the globalists and engendered all the ensuing truth movements now part and parcel of overcoming it all .
The funny thing is even they did not know the real value of Scripture for us today would be the ancient stories, as we today are acting out plays on parables of the same archetypes today.
Because of this, even anybody who tried to skew ancient rhetoric failed. None of what we can now learn best from was lost in translation.
