I cant make it larger
I have zero disagreement with the Scriptures.
This exchange about the temple and buildings took place in the temple grounds.
In this case the maps simply shows the distance between the the location of the Temple and the Mt of Olives.
Is this a scriptural fact or an educated guess from your view point? Or in your words where do you find that is scripture?
Thank you JLB for being diretectBy these verse's, I believe this exchange took place on the grounds of the temple, adjacent to or near the temple buildings. Probably somewhere in the outer court. His language in verse 2, not one stone shall be left here... lends itself to the idea His was standing in the temple ground when He made this statement.
Thank you JLB for being diretect
My thoughts ... these guys were talking as the walked away from the Temple, heading up the hill.. Quick look back a wave of the arm directing the guys vision to the temple ... Is not out of reach any more then what you say.... We dont know we try to make good guesses but we do not know. Another guess...If it was important for us to know He would have said it... We also dont know if/not they spoke other words that were just not recorded..
They could have discussed the latest chariot race
If it was important for us to know He would have said it.
Clear to you in that form because you want it to be. That is your choice...
So He is setting on the mountain , The mountain over looks the city and temple...or at least part of it ( i ain't never been there} ..You choose to read that part of Matt in segments i dont... I will suggest to you to remember the scriptures were not written in chapter and verse....that came later and i am glad it did
Different levels/ ideals
Some folks believe one MUST be baptized some folks believe one should be baptized.... Scripture points can be made for both..different levels or ideals
Pretersim has differences also I did not have a clue what preterism was tell some one YELLED at me and called me that like it was a 'bad' word... so i looked into the labels orthodox preterism or as some say partial preterism is the dumb label that fits me best.
I believe the Lord will return... I believe there will be the resurrection Jesus speaks of in John.... on the last day just as He says...
Now to 70 ad.... Here is a list? of some things
IN OT times when God had had enough of the Israelites He warned them the hammer was coming down more then once.
I believe in the same vain He warned the Christians, His body , 2000 years ago destruction was coming again.
The scripture case can be made for this...You may not agree with how i see the scripture i dont agree with you but its OK i do see why you think what you do...
We have Mat 23 ... There is also some timing.. Jesus said this generation Taking that into account the end of that generation was 70 ad. I am not asking you to agree.. I find it interesting that the good ol number 40 shows up About 40 years after His Cross the City and temple are destroyed. Over ran by gentiles. these events can fit into scripture...
We hear of 3 1/2 years i ask you how long was Jesus' earthly ministry?
My computer is going goofy i will post this if your interested we can continue... i need to post before it hops into cyber space..
