Honestly David, I don't believe that you're following the scriptures. I think you're trying to force the scriptures to fit your personal theology. But I still love ya brother! We can have different doctrinal understandings and still be brothers, right?
The 'force' you sense is the Force to get you to read the Scriptures, pray to the LORD for understanding and find the Answer from God's Mouth to your ears and heart!!!

The question of: Who are the Apostles? is given to us in Gospel of John chapter 3 and later confirmed by the Apostle Paul.

Furthermore, there is direct evidence in Matt ch24 also in Ephesians ch2 and ch5

Who is "you" in Jesus's statement? Is it the apostles who were standing directly in front of Jesus or is "you" about Christians 2,000 years in the future?

Christians in the future.

1948 is a sign on the wall.

And we do know Jesus bodily will return on the mount of Olives (Zach 14:4) as He ascended from the mount of Olives (Acts 1:9,12).

Luk 24:50 And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.
Luk 24:51 And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.
Luk 24:52 And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy :

Here we see that they went to Bethany and he ascended there, which is a mile from the Mount of Olives and about 2 miles from Jerusalem. They left Bethany and returned to Jerusalem having to cross the Mt of Olives on their way back. See the map provided.


Christ ascended in Bethany, then the disciples went back to Jerusalem via the Mt of Olives which is a Sabbath's journey from the Mount to Jerusalem. They traveled further than that because Bethany (it's one and only location) is on the other side of the Mt and past it's base just as Jerusalem is on that other side.

Act 1:11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
Matthias Chosen to Replace Judas
Act 1:12 Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey.


Acts only makes it seem like the ascension was on the Mount but it doesn't say that. It only mentions their return journey from the Mount to Jerusalem but doesn't bother to mention Bethany.

I'm watching TV and a new broadcast series, God With Us; Rethinking The End By Going Back To The Beginning

In brief,they propose that Revelation was written before 70 AD.

And how on the Jewish alphabet letters correspond to numbers. As such in the letters in Emperor Nero's name amount to 666.
Nero was also called, The Beast, during his reign.

And during his reign Nero had erected statues to himself. Including at the entrance to the marketplace . And at the entrance of that marketplace there was a bowl of burning incense.
Before people could enter there to buy or sell,they had to take up the ash from the burning incense and wipe it on their foreheads and the back of their hands. And then swear loyalty,belief,in their Lord, the emperor.

The only people who refused this oath and mark of allegiance were the Christians.

His name does not add up to 666. Someone altered his name and added something that is not part of his name to artificially add up to 666. IOW it's a lie.

They changed NERO to NERON, they needed 50 more to get to 666 and that's what the N did.
That wasn't reported in the TBN God With Us episode. But I did find where that you mentioned was added to make Neron.




"Preterists take Nero's name, Nero Cæsar and transliterates the Latin into Hebrew. An "n" is added to conform with the Hebrew spelling and usage of Nero's name, in a manner similar to the Greek adding an "s" (i.e., Jeremias, Jonas, etc.). Other names in scripture where the adding of an "n" may be seen are Abaddon, Apollyon, and Armageddon. Once Hebraicized, the Latin Nero Caesar becomes "nrwn qsr," which when using the numeric equivalent of the letters, then adds up to 666..."

However, the Hebrew transliteration of Emperor Nero is Nrwn Qsr. From there the Gematria system arrives at 666.

Nero's real name was Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus and that doesn't add up to 666 in any language. Second problem is Nero Caesar only adds up to 666 if you take his Greek name and change it into Hebrew letters and use a Hebrew Gematria system instead of the Greek letters of his name and a Greek Gematria system (which is what John wrote Revelation in), AND you add the letter "n" to Nero to make Neron (which isn't his name either) because you need an extra 50 come to 666 ...suddenly none of this makes any real sense and looks contrived. He died in AD68 as well which means he wasn't alive during the AD70 destruction of the temple and thus cannot be the AC/AoD standing in the temple according to some beliefs.

Nero obviously wasn't the 666 antichrist.

This is how the LORD JESUS CHRIST defines 'generation' as well as who-is-who!!!

Therefore you are witnesses against yourselves that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets. Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers’ guilt. Serpents, brood of vipers! How can you escape the condemnation of hell? Therefore, indeed, I send you prophets, wise men, and scribes: some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute from city to city, that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar. Assuredly, I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation.

So, you decided not to comment on the Scriptures I posted.

Instead you post from Matt 23, which instead of Matt 24 (which exclusively is to the twelve) is addressed to the crowds. And of course the things Jesus spoke about in Matt 23 also happened between AD 30 and AD70.

1. Foremost of all they (the Scribes and Pharisees) murdered the last prophet, the Son of God, the Saviour, the Creator in the human flesh.

2. It is said, eleven of the 12 disciples were martyred.

3. Saul, before Jesus stopped him, was persecuting Christians.

Shalom brother.

It is no problem, it actually fits the "wisdom" that was needed. If one could just count the Greek letters, it would be obvious, not requiring any wisdom.

John was writing to Christians in Greek, but most of them were probably of Jewish ethnicity. And the New Testament never mentions the beast or the Antichrist by name, because of the protection of Christians. Too easy riddle would be dangerous for both the author and the owners of the writing.

Not even Paul wanted to say it clearly in his letters, but rather referred vaguely to what he told the church in person, instead. It was safer for all of them.

Never heard of this, but interesting it is.

I wish they would have mentioned the historical source / evidence.

I used to share your view, until I looked closely at the scriptures.
I have been looking closely at the scriptures for over 50 years. This means I understand how the scriptures say he would come again. Guess what? It hasn't happened yet.

How is this a valid argument? Jews are having Scriptures for thousands of years, they study it for their whole life and still understand nothing. It is not about time or the length of study.

Good Morning,

1.) Matt 23 was in response to "generation"

2.) Along with the apostles, many more saints were, beaten, imprisoned and put to death their faith in Christ during 30-70AD
1 Thess ch2 & ch3
For you, brethren, became imitators of the churches of God which are in Judea in Christ Jesus. For you also suffered the same things from your own countrymen, just as they did from the Judeans, who killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they do not please God and are contrary to all men, 1orbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved, so as always to fill up the measure of their sins; but wrath has come upon them to the uttermost.

We sent Timothy, our brother and fellow worker for God in the gospel of Christ, to strengthen and encourage you in your faith, 3so that none of you would be shaken by these trials. For you know that we are destined for this. 4Indeed, when we were with you, we kept warning you that we would suffer persecution; and as you know, it has come to pass. 5For this reason, when I could bear it no longer, I sent to find out about your faith, for fear that the tempter had somehow tempted you and that our labor might have been in vain.

3.) CORRECT

4.) the persecution and murders never stopped = to this day
a.) RCC and the Inquisition murdered many saints

I guess you missed the part where I was responding to his claim of studying scripture.
