Please explain how you have a 70AD "Great Tribulation" and Jesus returning in the clouds of heaven "Immediately After" the tribulation of "Those Days" in 70AD?
Yes the second coming seen is "Future" but "The Great Tribulation" seen is "Future" also, and it didn't take place in 70AD as you claim
"Immediately After" doesn't equate into 2,000 years and waiting, it's that simple
Your reformed preterist interpretation "Fails" yet you will cling to it like a Millennialist does to a fairy tale Kingdom on this earth
Jesus Is The Lord
Matthew 24:21-22 & 29-31KJV
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Have you ever wondered if those clouds of heaven are believers who come in the name of the Son of God as being a sign of the Son of man in heaven?
The only reason I ask, is because Jesus came in on a white horse, when Jesus came he was the light of the world.
With him now in the world, Satan, and the people who were against God, now came upon the Lord, causing war between not just between God and Satan (who’s head is crushed by the Son of God). There was war between the Jews and the gentiles, and war between the ideas of the earthly compared the heavenly, war would be symbolic of the red horse.
Let me pull the scripture to see for sure.
“And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying, as it were a voice of thunder, ‘Come and behold!’ and I saw, and lo, a white horse, and he who is sitting upon it is having a bow, and there was given to him a crown,
This would speak of Jesus, having a bow and crown. White horse resembles good, and I believe righteousness, perhaps judgment, he also has bow? The eye of the lord is sharp? He also has a crown, he is the King. He brought righteousness into the World by being sent by the Father.
and he went forth overcoming, and that he may overcome. And when he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, ‘Come and behold!’ and there went forth another horse — red, and to him who is sitting upon it, there was given to him to take the peace from the land, and that one another they may slay, and there was given to him a great sword.
This seems to resemble a representation of war. The one who sat upon the horse, was the ability to take the peace from the land, so with that peace being gone they may slay one another, and there was given to that one who was in the horse a great sword.
The spoken word of Jesus caused war between God and his people as they had become hard hearted, the word of God is sharp, and accurate as Jesus with a bow. But this caused disruption, and lead to the eventual death of Jesus and then after resurrection. The apostles were shut down for just preaching of the resurrection. However they continued despite their efforts.
And when he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, ‘Come and behold!’ and I saw, and lo, a black horse, and he who is sitting upon it is having a balance in his hand, and I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, ‘A measure of wheat for a denary, and three measures of barley for a denary,’ and ‘The oil and the wine thou mayest not injure.’
The black horse and the rider upon it had a balance in his hand. This could be represented as the law of Moses in the hand, and that it was the judgment of God between the covenant God had made with Adam, in the promised seed, that would come from Abraham’s soon to rise nation which is Israel.
There are also specific instructions on not injure the oil and wine; which reminds me of anointing Christ and his blood. There seems to be a balance or a judgment here with this horse. Maybe their was famine going on at the time.
I could be wrong, also.
And when he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, ‘Come and behold!’ and I saw, and lo, a pale horse, and he who is sitting upon him — his name is Death, and Hades doth follow with him, and there was given to them authority to kill, (over the fourth part of the land,) with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and by the beasts of the land.
Now we have the green/pale horse. The one who ride this horse, name is death, and hades does follow with him. They were given authority to kill, (over fourth part of the land) with with sword, and with hunger and with death, and by the beasts of the land.
This to me resembles the literal punishment upon the nation of Israel in which the land was destroyed and famine and death continued until desolation.
Therefore before Jesus; the judgment of the Jewish people depended on the Law of Moses and there would be blessing and cursing. Fulfilled the law by coming in on a white horse with accurate accuracy and fine point precision.
This caused and uproar between the Jews and Jesus; eventually their demise when the Romans had came. War started.
With judgment in check, everything would go as it needed to go; as it was according to the law of Moses which had not yet been fully taken out of the picture until the destruction has come upon them.
And all the Jews had known before Jesus came, was death, and hell. Because of rejection of the Lord these judgments went through until those who saw Jesus, return were take away, which would symbolize that Sin was taken care of and the blood of Jesus was accepted. And also his victory, once all enemies had been placed under his feet.
Those who ended up in hell from this time eventually would come into judgment having the souls been poured out from it.
And when he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those slain because of the word of God, and because of the testimony that they held,
There souls of the slain, under the alter. It was because of the word of God, and the testimony they had held. People in that day in age were killed for being Christian.
and they were crying with a great voice, saying, ‘Till when, O Master, the Holy and the True, dost Thou not judge and take vengeance of our blood from those dwelling upon the land?’
These slain souls were crying out with a great voice, asking God if he will take vengeance from those who had killed them. Think about the prophets of old whom the people of Jerusalem had killed.
and there was given to each one white robes, and it was said to them that they may rest themselves yet a little time, till may be fulfilled also their fellow-servants and their brethren, who are about to be killed — even as they.”
And because of this; they are given white robes. And it was said to them that they may rest for yet. A little time, till may be fulfilled ; speaking of perhaps the 144,000. Also their fellow-servants and their brethren,
Who are about the be killed - even as they.
