An angel describes exactly how Jesus will return in the second coming

[Consecrated Life]

Nobody believes that Mar 13:26 has anything to do with 70AD.
Nobody on this site, and no prominent theologian, or biblical scholar in the whole world you care to name believes that
That is why you cannot name another person in the whole world who believes that to be a reference to 70AD.
You are allowed to believe that by your lonesome of course, but I will stand with the rest of the Christian world that this is a yet to come future event being spoken by Jesus.

There are theologians who see that 70 AD was the fulfillment. In some Bibles it says in the foot notes that the temple was destroyed as Jesus says in 70 AD. The first century christian’s thought so too.

It ought to be a hint to you that not only nobody on this entire site has ever suggested such a thing , but also out of the millions of printed Christian based sites out there on the web you cannot produce even one article from a credible source in agreement with you on such a thing .I can find plenty of Christian articles putting this verse in its future tense perspective:

Mark 13:26

Jesus' well-known Olivet Prophecy contains probably the most familiar description of Christ's return:

Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. (Matthew 24:30)

Other passages describing this event echo a common element. While some of these verses also speak of “power” and “glory,” the common element in all these descriptions is the mention of clouds.


As already mentioned, Jesus Christ will be returning in glory, and that awesome glory has a terrible, lethal effect on sinful flesh. In particular, II Thessalonians 2:8 foretells that “the lawless one” will be “consume[d] with the breath of His mouth and destroy[ed] with the brightness of His coming.” Apparently, Christ will not always remain behind a cloud but will allow His full glory to show for the purpose of destroying unholy men.
We can thus see why being surrounded by clouds is an act of mercy on God's part: Mere men cannot abide the sight of One so pure and holy.

'Behold, He is Coming with Clouds'

Why do you think you cannot find even one person here, there, anywhere in agreement with you on such a thing?

The first century Christians thought so. And it’s generally the Americans who bought into futurism.

I’ve asked Europeans and no one heard of the whole Rapture futurism theory.

I don't agree that confessing sins to God isn't much.

Hardly anyone has a problem doing so. But ask them to confess to one another and it’s a different matter.

However you are right about how we treat others including unbelievers, but especially how we treat our spiritual brothers and sisters. The scriptures teach us that if you don't or can't love your spiritual brothers and sisters who you can see, it's impossible for you to love God who you can't see. Also the scriptures teach that we are to love our neighbors. Jesus told a story of who our neighbors are which Jesus said that a Samaritan who the Jews hate helped a Jew who was laying on the side of the road hurt. Both a Priest and a Levite passed by the Jew without helping him, but the Samaritan helped. This kind of love we are to have even for those that hate us, because when Jesus came he died for all mankind.

True.

The majority of mankind hates Jesus. We know this by the way they live their lives but still we are to love them, as Jesus loved them. We hate what people do, but we don't hate people.

I think it’s more likely they’re indifferent.

True.

I think it’s more likely they’re indifferent.

What I can see is that some in the world today don't see a need for God or the scriptures. They're may think this way because they see so much suffering in the world so they don't believe in God. They believe if God exists, why hasn't he done anything about all the suffering. They also see the hypocrisy of many religious leaders claiming to be Christian, who claim to live by the scriptures. Other people are preoccupied with their jobs, families, or personal problems and fail to see how the scriptures can help them.
People who are indifferent to what the scriptures say could be because of their selfishness, or it could be due to their insensitivity to their failure to give the True God exclusive devotion and to their violating of God's righteous laws. They selfishly want to do only what is pleasing in their own eyes so care nothing g about what is pleasing in the True God's eyes.

Apparently you did not understand what I wrote
I wrote what Paul said, that Jesus spoke to him without making Himself visible
How could he have spoken to him without being there after all.

You had said that Paul saw Jesus .
He did not , that is incorrect.
Hearing is not seeing .
It is plain as the noonday sun what Paul said happened , and he does not say he saw Jesus.
Act 22:7
And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me,

Where did Paul write that Jesus didn’t make himself visible?

Ok so you admit the ascended Christ was there right? That what I said.

The similar thread in Rev and Paul’s experience was a light so bright you couldn’t see the face. Paul didn’t say he didn’t see anyone. Do you think Jesus was invisible? That’d be new.

Where is, “but no one was there?”

Paul saying " I heard a voice " ought to place the proper context in your mind as compared with John's encounter
Nobody says " I heard a voice " when they are looking at the person speaking to them.
In addition Paul could not give one descriptive detail of any person.

Whereas John gave a complete description down to the detail of which hand He laid on his shoulder :

His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;

Rev 1:15
And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.

Rev 1:16
And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.

Rev 1:17
And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:

He couldn’t be seen for the brightness. What was there a bright light if Jesus wasn’t there? And it blinded Paul. I’ve heard others describe Jesus this way.

In addition Paul could not give one descriptive detail of any person.

If you shine a flashlight in someone’s face, they won’t be able to see who is talking.

Sounds similar to Isaiah and others who appeared before Him, Remember John was in heaven. Paul wasn’t.

What did Jesus mean when he told the Ephesians that if they didn’t shape up he would COME. to them?
