He stated they said my master is delaying in more modern terms maam
Jesus did say God knew, which answers your next statement as well. God knew when He stated this:
the day and hour. Still today no human knows the day or hour, but I am able to narrow it down within 3 days Dot.
Because we are still here maam.
To be honest, it drove like an old car. Leaned heavily in corners, no power steering, no power brakes, but it did kind of take you back to an older era. Everything worked including the factory radio, and I would listen to classic stations, but 60's was about as far back as they went.
Was that the problem? No, the problem was how they treated others. Jesus has been predicted to come almost every year for decades. Not a problem since he says we won’t know.
Well, God knows everything. We don’t know and won’t know.
When the Bible says “day or hour” it doesn’t mean literally calendar or position of the sun. It means at all. But I’ll bite, when plus or minus 3 days?
People were always there after prophesy is fulfilled. Always. People will be there after the resurrection too. Doesn’t mean prophesy isn’t fulfilled because people are still there.
People are still there after prophecy is fulfilled?
Of course. Why would the earth be de-peopled? Wouldn’t that be sad?
Oh that’d be aweful. The end of the human race God made. Where is that in scripture? Satan would love it…no more humans. Who are his own ruling and reigning over? The bugs and animals?
Not at all. But the elimination of the human race does not sound like something good. Jesus comes and no more families on earth. Horrible!
Yes, we aren’t down to the end of time, but there is a judgement coming for sure. It would be better for all of we all reminded ourselves of that coming reckoning.
You’re making perfect sense. I don’t agree.
Absolutely. Crystal clear paragraph! Well done.
Except for humanity being over, I agree.
Eternity is sort of always with us in a way. Dying or the end of life is something we cannot imagine well. Continuing life is easier to see.
1 Corinthians 15:52 kjvOf course. Why would the earth be de-peopled? Wouldn’t that be sad?

So why do you think the human race is no more?
And? You think There are no more people? Adam and Eve were not originally in corruptible bodies and certainly could have reproduced. Why do you think Jesus coming means the end of the human race?
Ok, but reproduction was still possible before the fall.
Humans will live on earth. There’s a new Heaven and new earth. The earth is not depopulated.
Well, death comes before thr Resurrection, right?
Agreed. One has to die to be resurrected.
Some see better than others.
Will be no more.
Just going off of what Jesus said maam, I didn't say it, I simply quoted it from the Bible
Very true Ecc 3:11
Wednesday Dot. That is my prediction! When the end comes if it is not within 3 days of Wed, then I will offer up my sincere apology for my error maam.
And there will be after the fulfillment of Mat 28:20 and 24:14 as well. But those has not quite ended yet. Perhaps I should have stated the wicked are still here Ps 37:9; Mat 7:13
Why do you think that? Jesus died so the human race can be discontinued? How sad!
Where is that coming from? When Jesus comes, the bride, the believers, will have made themselves ready, not wretched.
That is true but not all of us are wretched.
I know but the Hebrew scriptures are full of metaphor. “Day” doesn’t always mean a 24 hour period even in English. Doesn’t mean its not true.
That’s pretty funny. For anyone not getting it. Wednesday plus or minus three days is from Sunday to Wednesday or from Thursday to Sunday. Can’t miss.
The resurrection has not happened whereby the living will also be judged. I see Matthew 24 as fulfilled up to verse 36. That is still future in my view.
"The Satanic Temple " , "After School Satan Club" the word Satan is in both of these and it is in your face , this is called gaslighting , their claiming of not being Satan worship . Satan has had all this time since the garden to plan and scheme how to appeal to the public , a slow gradual process a little at a time . But now is Satan's time growing short ? Yes I think so .
I do strive to be accurate in what I say. Heck, I could be wrong you know.
You have hit on some passages that we both know are untrue. Frankly I don't know why they are in God's inspired word. We justify his words as meaning that the then known world. Do you feel that maybe Paul was describing in broad terms how far the “good news” had reached. For example, Alexander the Great had penetrated Asia to the borders of India in the fourth century B.C.E. Julius Caesar had invaded Britain in 55 B.C.E., and Claudius had subjugated the southern part of that island, making it part of the Roman Empire in 43 C.E. The Far East was also known, for it was a source of fine silk.
I won’t agree with you that there are passages that are untrue. There will never ever come a day when every single human on earth has heard the gospel because populations are constantly increasing. So Jesus didn’t mean that. It was the known world.I do strive to be accurate in what I say. Heck, I could be wrong you know.

The Far East was also known, for it was a source of fine silk.
Had the good news been preached in Britain, China, and the Far East? That seems unlikely. Indeed, when Paul wrote to the Colossians, he still had not realized his own goal, stated in about 56 C.E., of preaching in the then “untouched territory” of Spain. (Rom. 15:20, 23, 24) Still, by about 61 C.E., the Kingdom message was widely known. At the very least, it had spread as far as to the homelands of the Jews and proselytes who were baptized at Pentecost 33 C.E. as well as to the lands visited by Jesus’ apostles.—Acts 2:1, 8-11, 41, 42.
At any rate, we know for a fact that the good news of the Kingdom has not yet reached all nations, but we know it has to be getting very close. The Bible is available in parts in over 3500 languages, and the internet is virtually available everywhere. The signs Jesus gave like you said been fulfilled many years, and even worldly people are questioning the changing scene of the world recognizing things are strange.
Hope you do not mind but I am going to use that one....I will admit I did not think it up. Pretty clever. I am going to tell my son that one next time we meet, that I can predict Jesus' coming within 3 days.....I do strive to be accurate in what I say. Heck, I could be wrong you know.

I think Jesus was talking to them about the world they knew. That is, they knew the whole of the Mediterranean world, Africa, Europe, Asia and Middle East. That was their world. So he was telling them that the world that they knew would have heard the Gospel, which was necessary before the destruction of the center of Christianity in the world. It is like Jesus said that mustard seed is the smallest seed in the garden but it was the smallest they knew in their garden. It is not, apparently, the smallest in the whole of botany. But that was not the point. The point Jesus was making was that the Gospel would have to be planted in all of the surrounding world, the world they knew, before the end of that age would come with the destruction of their central headquarters. It was not a sign. It was a preparation. What do you think? Just thought about that as I was writing it.
I know I answered this post already. I am not losing my mind or not much of it, but new thoughts occurred to me. One needs to see the teachings of Jesus in the context of his listeners and what He was communicating to them. The Gospel is going out but that is not because it needs to before he comes. That goal is met. It is going out NOW because it is the good news. The christian church is the fastest growing organization or group in the whole world and those who study trends say it is a phenomena that cannot be stopped. It has become the largest tree in the garden, so large that the birds of the air (demonic powers) can roost in its branches.
There you have it Dot, you answered it yourself maam. The then known world. But since we are still here, clearly in God's eyes the prophecy of Mat 24:14 had not yet been fulfilled. Do you know what the times of the Gentiles is Dot? This really comes into play in figuring out the time period of the prophecy.
But that is what he meant to say. He was saying when the Gospel had been preached to the world as they knew it, the end of that covenant as they knew it would come. He was giving them the world as they knew it to be. They needed to know that.
You are taking what Jesus told them, which Paul confirmed has happened, and insisting it be applied to today. In doing so, you have to accept the Bible doesn’t tell the truth. I don’t have to do that. In my position Paul was telling the truth and the end of that world as they knew it came.
I have an idea.
We write a lot, some details are missed. I know about the horses from my view.
I do and they happened.
No it wasn’t. It was given to John as Nero sent him to Patmos same time as they tried unsuccessfully to kill him although were successful with Peter and Paul. John was in his 60s, still able to minister which Jesus prophesied was before him.
Ok but the late date has scant support except in popularity.
Sure, I giggled when I first heard it. I certainly didn't think of it either, but it usually sets people at ease to tickle their funny bone. And the great thing about it is, that it is true.
The covenant does not end until it is fulfilled Dot Luke 22:30
Now I understand why you believe it was fulfilled in the first century. I researched it a bit, and there is a controversy among authorities as to the date of the writing of it. I am glad you and I agree that the horses parallel the initial signs given by Jesus, But since the date is not determined, I fully understand why you think as you do, but just find it illogical. Why? Because the world is continuing, and the Kingdom has not came.
