Wondering JLB if you would ever take the time .. a borning day when ya got no nothen to do... and read the scripture ( for lack of better words) from my time table... Thinking on a couple points... How long was the earthly ministery of the Prince of Peace ... What is the time in years from The Crucifixion/Resurrection to the destruction of Jerusalem 70 AD.....Why did Jesus say or what did He mean when He said
Mat_16:28 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
Did God ever destroy Jerusalem with a warning? the ol hey guys this is coming ...
The Gospel has gone out around the globe... Does this passage only apply to those physically living in the area?
Mar 13:14 But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:
Why when the Scripture clearly says point blank
Rev 1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:
Why do we put so much of what is says to antichrist which is never mentioned in The Revelation....
I am not being a smart allick asking i am asking because these are some of the question i asked of myself and others15-20 years ago...
I am not asking you to post any answers just give it some thought... just in your own head...
Having had my head about where yours is i fully get why you think what you do... I am not looking for posted answers nor the return of the flash of questions ... Like it or not i am yoru sister in the Lord even if i am 999,000 years old
I was hopping JLB but i see you will not ... I spent 40 some years in your line of thinking... it is not new to me. I wont bug you again for a long time....
Act 2:16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;It is also written in the last days "I will pour out my Spirit..." The Fathers promise Jesus spoke of. Did you receive that promise as in we are still in these last days?
The false prophet and the angel of the abyss are mentioned in REV as in what is still to come. (anti-Christ; manor lawlessness) The bowl judgments are the last judgments of God and with them Gods wrath is complete. Read Rev 15 and Rev 16. Also those judgments are the judgments that plunge the beasts kingdom into darkness. At the end the Lord returns as is stated in 2thess for the great battle of God almighty. Zech 14 also mentions those days to come. Mount of Olives split in two pieces by Gods will to make a way of escape from Jerusalem from the surrounding armies. It all ends the same (outcome) with the 2nd coming of the Lord Rev 16:15; 2thess 2:8 Daniel 12:1- (The lord also stated He would send out His angels
Mark 9:1 has a little different wording. Could the Lord have been speaking of Acts 2??
I believe Rev 11 is a future sign that can't be mistaken. It speaks of a temple (outer court as well) That temple could be rebuilt by unbelievers in future years.
Yes.It is also written in the last days "I will pour out my Spirit..." The Fathers promise Jesus spoke of. Did you receive that promise as in we are still in these last days?

Nope. There is no discussion WITH you.
Yes.
There is no mention of "antichrist" in The Revelation.
Many Christians view the scriptures differently from one another... They are written so well the discussions have been going on for thousands of years.
What many see as the God wrath on the earth( the people left when He returns) i see a judgement for the murder of His Son .... IMO that is why it was "this" generation...
I will not get into a big discussion becasue of the moderating duties i kinda just give my opinion and then bite my tongue The discussion is fascinating. That the Word is written the way it is is also...
Ecclesiastes 1:8 "All things are full of labour; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing."
"Labor" in the text is "weariness. The labors, or weariness of the societies that flesh man hears and sees, man never quite understands. Anytime you get to the point that you know everything in this flesh body, you are just kidding yourself.
Ecclesiastes 1:9
"The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun."
Solomon, with the guidance of the Spirit of God, is telling you that those things that have happened before, will happen again. It is important that you understand this. There is no new idea or thing that can happen to man that has not already happened to man. Remember that "under the sun" in in reference to "this flesh body of man".
This point helps us understand the Word of God, and the types that the prophets of old give us in their writings. Paul told us in I Corinthians 10:11; "Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come."
"Ends of the world", means the ends of this earth age, or dispensation where man lives in his flesh body. Paul told us that all those things that were written by the prophets of man's actions, and what happened to them when they either violated God's law, or kept God's law were examples to us, for there is no new thing that will happen to flesh man, that has not already happened to others in the past. We are to study God's Word, and by our understanding of His Word, we can have the peace of mind that comes with God's faithfulness to His Word.
There is nothing new under the sun, even to the point of what happens at the end of this earth age, is a copy of what happened at the end of the first earth age. God has detailed out for us in His Word all events that will take place, right up to His second coming at the sounding of the seventh and final trumpet. He has name the signs, and given us examples even of the one world system that is coming upon us now, and will rule the minds of all mankind very shortly, all that is, except God's elect who know the truths, and will not be deceived.
Jesus' first coming is 'the new thing under the sun', so that when identifying type/antitype relationships it is most often the case that we need to also identify how the futility of the type is translated into the triumph of the antitype through Jesus. This is why I no longer fear for some future overall apostasy of Christianity. Whereas if under the law this would be assured, under the Grace of the Holy Spirit given through Christ it is impossible. The Church will not fail God as Temple Judaism did.
only the church got that promise. isreal never did.i wish the futurists would see that.

Please share with us the scripture that states under grace it is impossible for a person or a group of people to turn away from Christ.
JLB
Mar 9:1 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.
Mat 16:28 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
Luk 9:27 But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.
Is there a difference between the Son of man's kingdom and God's kingdom?
I think when you read the account of Stephen in Acts 6-7, you will find that those scriptures pretty much paint a picture of Stephen. Acts 6:8
Act 7:51-57 Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost:as your fathers did, so do ye. Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which shewed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers: Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it.
When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth. But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God. Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord
Went back and read my post. I don't understand your response.
