Re: The power of failed prophecy.

But we don't see reinterpretation in the Gospel of Mark or Gospel of Matthew, do we? We do see it in the Gospel of Luke. Why did not Mark and Matthew reinterpret the supposedly failed prophecy?
As far as I can see we have to imagine readers placing a nonintuitive interpretation on the "original" and "failed" prophecy for our thesis to work. But the Millerites who continued in their faith did document reinterpretations -- as we see Luke also doing.
That's not what our earliest evangelists did.
