Look, I don't want to read your book. I just want you to understand that the Great tribulation has not occured, and taking scripture from it's orgin, such as the OT 5000 years ago, or Jesus words 2000 years ago and applying it to our time is necessary in order to understand the depth that God would go in order that no man should perish. I already told you, I agree with you regarding the time Jesus was speaking in, but Jesus came, not just for the House of Israel first and foremost, but everything Jesus says is for all generations to all mankind: "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my word shall NEVER pass away". We don't stop applying Jesus word for our time to ONE generation. Gods word is from everlasting to everlasting.

Life is not calculated from mathimatical equations; Life is "GIVEN FREELY" by God's breadth, and Faith is tested by God's Holy Spirit, and God judges the hearts of men, all men, by His word, and not just the Jews to whom He spoke it, but to all men.

"for now therefore, there are no excuses" God speaks to Job and says: "Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth?" or "can you count the clouds by wisdom?". We can't even find in any of the seven days of creation on which day God laid the foundation of the earth. Was it before day one? So what day would we call that? You see, we can't apply that kind of math to God's word. It takes "revelation" from the Holy Spirit to be quenched because the answer comes from the spirit, not from a 3LB brain.

Acts 17
30 Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent, 31 because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead.”
Correction of the translation: "...because He did set a day in which He is about to judge the world in righteousness by a Man whom He did ordain..." (YLT). From the time frame in which this book of Acts was first written, Christ was "ABOUT TO judge the world" in their own generation.

2 Timothy 4
New King James Version
Preach the Word
4 I charge you [a]therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom:
Correction of the translation: "I do fully testify, then, before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who is about to judge living and dead at his manifestation and his reign..." (YLT). From the time frame in which this book of 2 Timothy was written (around AD 67), Christ was "ABOUT To JUDGE living and dead" at His appearing and His kingdom in Paul's own generation. Meaning an AD 70 judgment of both the living on earth and the dead at a GWT judgment which already took place.

There is no Scripture limitation on God opening the books for judgment on a single occasion only. In other words, there is yet another GWT judgment in our future yet to come, in addition to the one which took place back in AD 70.

I agree with you, but you quoted me as if I was hanging on one scripture. I cearly stated that one must look at all the scriptures to understand who Jesus is talking to and when. In Mattew 24:29 Clearly in His 2nd coming, Jesus says: "Immediately after the Tribulation of 'those' days...". He isn't talking about the Sanhedrin here is He?
You aren't following the chronological progression of events which began in the disciples own first-century generation after Christ ascended to heaven in Acts 1. Persecution began almost immediately for the disciples. As Christ predicted, they were persecuted from city to city, being beaten in the synagogues and brought before councils. The 12 disciples and Paul experienced this. At the same time, Christ said there would be wars and rumors of wars, famines (as Agabus predicted in Acts 11:28) and earthquakes in divers places (as historians testified were happening in the known world in that first-century generation, and as Acts again spoke about). These were called "the beginning of sorrows", or of birth pangs, which would intensify as the "great tribulation" and its "days of vengeance" came closer in that first-century generation.

The gospel would be preached in all the world by the disciples and Paul, (which Paul testified in Colossians 1:6 & 23 and other texts had been accomplished back then) before the end came.

False prophets and false Christs arose in those days, just as Christ predicted, (and as 1 John 4:1 said was then happening).

Then when the disciples saw Jerusalem surrounded by armies (as it was in AD 66), they were to flee Judea and Jerusalem and run to the mountains to avoid the "days of vengeance" of the "great tribulation" which would take place from AD 66-70 in Judea and Jerusalem in particular. Historians record this flight of the believers to Pella and other locations, and in numbers of about 1-1/4 million who escaped those plagues by fleeing Judea and Jerusalem.

"IMMEDIATELY AFTER the tribulation of those days" Christ was to return in the glory of His Father with the angels, to gather the resurrected elect from one end of heaven to the other. This was done in AD 70. We are not waiting for the second coming anymore. We are waiting on the third resurrection and another judgment at Christ's final coming in our future.

Is not Jesus God himself working in a manifestation of application - as his anointing word made flesh

Is not Jesus = GOD APPLIED / THE WORD APPLIED


Joh 5:21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them;
even so the Son
quickeneth whom he will.



Joh 5:22 ουδε Neither / not - γαρ that - ο the - πατηρ father - κρινε judges ουδενα no one - αλλα except - την the - κρισιν judgement - πασαν of all - δεδωκεν he gives - τω the - υιω son


Meaning


:22 Neither / not that the father judges no one, except the judgement of all he gives the son


Joh 5:23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.



1Pe 1:17 And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:

1Pe 1:17 And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:
Father and Son are one, yet they are not the same one are they.



36 But I have a greater witness than John’s; for the works which the Father has given Me to finish—the very works that I do—bear witness of Me, that the Father has sent Me. 37 And the Father Himself, who sent Me, has testified of Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time, nor seen His form. 38 But you do not have His word abiding in you, because whom He sent, Him you do not believe.


John 14:7
“If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.”

John 14:9
Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

John 15:24
If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would have no sin; but now they have seen and also hated both Me and My Father.

John 5:22-24
22 For the Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment to the Son, 23 that all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.

2 Peter 1:17
For He received from God the Father honor and glory when such a voice came to Him from the Excellent Glory: “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”

BEHOLD, THE SKY IS SPLITTING!
He cometh with clouds, eyes as flames of fire, and on His thigh: KING OF KINGS.The merchants of Babylon see Him and scream to the mountains:
“Fall on us! Hide us from the wrath of the LAMB!”In one hour the whole debt-empire burns.
Mortgages, student loans, IMF chains, offshore billions — all become ashes.
BlackRock weeps, Wall Street wails, the dollar is stubble.
The same Jesus who whipped the money-changers now treadeth the winepress of the wrath of God.
Every yoke of usury is shattered by the brightnessedict of His mouth.

The saints shout:
“Babylon the Great is fallen!
The kingdoms of this world are become the Kingdom of our Lord!”Lift up your heads, bond-slaves of interest —
your redemption draweth nigh!He cometh quickly.

MARANATHA!

The “second coming” is a two fold period that begins quietly with little warning but with huge global events.
When Jesus disciples asked him about his return, he first told them that the Temple would be utterly destroyed with not a stone left upon a stone. That happened in 70 CE when the Romans came back to finish what they started in 66CE.


He said no such thing,. You have re-written Matthew 24 to create something never said. He said the temple and vbuildings wiould be destroyed but never once assopciated that with the second coming. He never one time spoke of that in the OD, nor does any second coming passage anywhere in the bible speak of it either. This is a false narrative to support the heresy of full preterism.

Hang on....what point are you addressing?

This is what you are responding to.....
“The “second coming” is a two fold period that begins quietly with little warning but with huge global events.

Please tell me what part of those statements are inaccurate?
Both statements are accurate, according to Scripture.....Jesus gave a sign of his “presence” (Matt 24:3) Global events were to indicate something that was not strikingly observable. (Luke 17:20)
Only his “coming” at the end of that period, would the world see that the judgment time has arrived and overtaken them.

The physical temple in Jerusalem was destroyed and replaced by a spiritual temple in “heavenly Jerusalem” (Heb 12:23).....the temple described as “the body of Christ”. (2 Cor 3:16; Eph2:21-22; 1 Pet 2:5-7)

I am not a preterist.
I believe in a dual prophesy that covered both events. Features of the prophesy are the same in both fulfillments. The first in the the time of Christ’s first appearance, and the last is when he returns....to find a situation “like the days of Noah”....hopelessly lost in a world of violence and immorality....not listening to the warnings being given...not giving them any credence.

Christ has returned in these last days and is “separating the sheep from the goats” as we speak...by the time he manifests as judge, all will have chosen their positions....and his sentence upon the unbelievers and false Christians, will be swift.

Indeed the second coming brings Judgement.

Yes indeed.
Jesus told us what this judgment is.

Matt 25
31 “But when the Son of Man comes in His glory and majesty and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. 32 All the nations will be gathered before Him [for judgment]; and He will separate them from one another, as a shepherd separates his sheep from the goats; 33 and He will put the sheep on His right [the place of honor], and the goats on His left [the place of rejection].

34 “Then the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father [you favored of God, appointed to eternal salvation], inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

41 “Then He will say to those on His left, ‘Leave Me, you cursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels (demons);

46 Then these [unbelieving people] will go away into eternal (unending) punishment, but those who are righteous and in right standing with God [will go, by His remarkable grace] into eternal (unending) life.”


How does this not refer to the final judgment?
Apostle Paul thought that it did...


5 This is a positive proof of the righteous judgment of God [a sign of His fair verdict], so that you will be considered worthy of His kingdom, for which indeed you are suffering. 6 For after all it is only just for God to repay with distress those who distress you, 7 and to give relief to you who are so distressed and to us as well when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels in a flame of fire, 8 dealing out [full and complete] vengeance to those who do not [seek to] know God and to those who ignore and refuse to obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus [by choosing not to respond to Him]. 9 These people will pay the penalty and endure the punishment of [c]everlasting destruction, banished from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power, 10 when He comes to be glorified in His saints on that day

God promises to avenge the blood of the saints

Yes. See above 6-8

Jeff isn't revealing the fact that in the Greek manuscripts the whole part of being punished with destruction uses a verb in the future tense showing it is future to the second coming in verse 7.

2Th 1:7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
2Th 1:8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:

This verb is in the present tense in the Greek manuscripts so this “taking vengeance” happens during the second coming.

2Th 1:9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;

“shall be punished” is in the FUTURE TENSE which means that the being punished with everlasting destruction ie: GWTJ/LOF is NOT happening at the second coming but is a FUTURE event after the second coming just as Premill teaches and exactly opposite of what Amill teaches.

https://biblehub. com/interlinear/2_thessalonians/1-9.htm

You can verify in the link above (remove the extra SPACE just before COM) that the verb tisousin is in the future tense: verb tense: future indicative active.

Amill will AVOID this fact as much as possible because it destroys the false teachings it espouses!

Nope.
It happens at the second coming on the day we are glorified.
You should have quoted the following...,

9 These people will pay the penalty and endure the punishment of everlasting destruction, banished from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power, 10 when He comes to be glorified in His saints on that day, and to be marveled at among all who have believed, because our testimony to you was, because our testimony to you was believed and trusted [and confirmed in your lives].
.

Wasn't a fact was it.

I charge you [a]therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead [b]at His appearing and His kingdom: 2 Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; 4 and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. 5 But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

14 Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men also, saying, “Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of His saints, 15 to execute judgment on all, to convict all who are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have committed in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.”

31 “When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the [c]holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. 32 All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. 33 And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left.


The Parable of the Tares Explained​

36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away and went into the house. And His disciples came to Him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field.”

37 He answered and said to them: “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man. 38 The field is the world, the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom, but the tares are the sons of the wicked one. 39 The enemy who sowed them is the devil, the harvest is the end of the age (world ), and the reapers are the angels. 40 Therefore as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this age (world). 41 The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness, 42 and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. 43 Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That He comes and sits on His glorious throne, shows He has come and so has His kingdom, and all are judged, just as Paul writes here

I charge you [a]therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead [b]at His appearing and His kingdom:

Indeed the second coming brings Judgement. God promises to avenge the blood of the saints He spoke to at their graves, because their blood cried out to Him from the grave. Jesus Himself, comes with a double edge sword to judge those who attacked His bride, His body, His elect. Blood will be as high as a horses sadle and as far as the eye can see. The Beast and False prophet will be cast into the lake of fire, and the Dragon, Satan will be thrown down into the abyss for a thousand years. That's judgemet and the end of this age.

Suddenly, we enter the mellennial age, at the end of the mellennia, Satan is released, He will gather the nations against God, and God destroy's them, not with a battle, but straight out of heaven, first with an earthquake, and then with brimstone and fire. Suddenly, God vaporises this earth and this heaven, and a new heaven and new earth appear, and the New Jerusalem.

Actually, there will not be "one" judgment as some thought.

After the tribulation of those days "FOR" the Elect, Christ is judging the Harlot, the Scarlet Woman, the Unfaithful Church "within" the world. This must take place FIRST.

1Pe 4:17

(17) For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?

The fall of unfaithful church is the judgment of God that only the Elect "can" see and know that His coming is near as a sign! Then when Christ do come, He will judge the unsaved world on the LAST DAY.

I'm a premillennialist, postribulationist, but your question was: when does Jesus judge? I believe Jesus is always judging in the NT age, because God is always judging the sinful world, whether by mercy and tolerance or by a more immediate and harsh judgment.

For example, God judged Israel in the OT period, and did not wait for an apocalypse. Sometimes He judges only partially, and at other times He judges with great finality, such as He judged Israel in the captivities.

In the NT era Israel was judged in 70 AD with great finality and severity. Still, God shows tolerance and patience with the Jewish People. And this is a model for all nations to learn from in the NT era, that God is longsuffering but has a limit to His patience with humanity and with nations.

Final judgment comes to the world at Christ's Return. But until then there are always going to be divine judgments directed at the nations. And their severity will be determined both by their sin and by the level of intention of their sin.

Nobody who sins should feel secure that it is not the Apocalyspe yet. Judgments may fall at any time, and even the innocent suffer from the accidents that take place in this ungodly world. We all need to be ready.

9 These people will pay the penalty and endure the punishment of everlasting destruction, banished from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power, 10 when He comes to be glorified in His saints on that day,

The Judgment Seat of Christ​

9 Therefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be well pleasing to Him. 10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad. 11 Knowing, therefore, the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are well known to God, and I also trust are well known in your consciences.

Is the same judgment as these

Matthew 25

The Son of Man Will Judge the Nations​

31 “When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the [c]holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. 32 All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. 33 And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left.

And this too, Revelation 20

The Great White Throne Judgment​

11 Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before [c]God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. 13 The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. 14 Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second [d]death. 15 And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.

Now believers will not come under the same kind of judgment of condemnation which unbelievers do.
And as believers in this current life, our judgment of the things we do is God's discipline for our good.
We are corrected by Him when we stray away, but for our good.

Hebrews 12

The Discipline of God​

3 For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls. 4 You have not yet resisted to bloodshed, striving against sin. 5 And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons:

“My son, do not despise the [c]chastening of the Lord,
Nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him;
6 For whom the Lord loves He chastens,
And scourges every son whom He receives.”
7 If[d] you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not chasten? 8 But if you are without chastening, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate and not sons. 9 Furthermore, we have had human fathers who corrected us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much more readily be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live? 10 For they indeed for a few days chastened us as seemed best to them, but He for our profit, that we may be partakers of His holiness. 11 Now no [e]chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.

At the final judgment, when all of heaven and hell and earth are gathered to Him, including celestial beings, all are witness to that judgment, and it includes punishment for the wicked, but rewards or even the lack of rewards for believers. But since they believe, they have passed from death into life and will not come under the resurrection of condemnation.

With Christ's return we have the resurrection of all and then comes the judgment, after that, the kingdom of God covers the whole new earth, as at Christs return, heaven and earth as they are today pass away. Jesus told us these things before they happen.


John 5:28-30
New King James Version
28 Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice 29 and come forth—those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation. 30 I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me.

The Coming of the Son of Man​

25 “And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; 26 men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 27 Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”

The Parable of the Fig Tree​

29 Then He spoke to them a parable: “Look at the fig tree, and all the trees. 30 When they are already budding, you see and know for yourselves that summer is now near. 31 So you also, when you see these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near. 32 Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all things take place. 33 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.

The Importance of Watching​

34 “But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with [h]carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly. 35 For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36 Watch therefore, and pray always that you may [i]be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.”
