[32] Verily I say unto you,


PRIDE!
Luke 21:32-35 KJV
[32] Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled. [33] Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. [34] And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. [35] For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.

It's about the future literal second coming of Jesus Christ and the resurrection of believers

What symbolic allegory you going to claim on the Angel's seen gathering the elect, waiting?

Matthew 24:30-31KJV
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.
It is clear you do not want an answer, so I will post for others who look to learn.

The text does not say that at all. It was spoken to those people right there, hearing Jesus
(This Generation) not (Your Generation)

You claim that the day and hour has been revealed to man in 70AD, is contrary to scripture, are preterist God the Father?

Matthew 24:34-36KJV
34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

You remain silent on Matthew 24:31 and the Angel's gathering the elect in the resurrection, because you have nothing to offer but symbolic allegory in removing that which is seen, it's that simple

"The Preterist Motto" if it don't fit 70AD fulfillment, remove it through symbolic allegory

Just as Jesus said! Imagine that. What do you know??? It happened literally as Jesus said.
In your Preterist dreams!

Dispensationalism is more credible, and that's an understatement, "Truth"!

Pride is your playbook, in a calm that 98% of prophecy has been fulfilled?

That's a fairy tale, pinocchio's nose is growing again!

The event of Luke 21:35 below is future, and will come upon the entire earth, and this didnt take place in 70AD Jerusalem as many claim

Luke 21:35KJV
35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.

How do you take the language of Nahum, a prophecy fulfilled concerning Ninevah, when speaking of the judgment of that city says "Mountains quake before him; the hills shake apart. The earth heaves before him— the world and all her inhabitants. Yahweh is good—a refuge in the day of distress; he knows those who take refuge in him. But with a rushing torrent he will bring Nineveh to an end; he will chase his enemies into darkness." Do you think this prophecy is not fulfilled because of this language despite the beginning, end, and many times in the middle of the book it says that it refers to the judgment of Ninevah?

Please quote Chapter and Verse, "Common Courtesy" not many claim to be mind readers

You will closely note that "The World" is in the prophecy, the Earth Is "Being Burned", and not just local Ninevah as you suggest,its that simple

(Yeah,The World, And All That Dwell Therin)

Are you "Preterist" in you belief in eschatology?

Nahum 1:5KJV
5 The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein.

Jesus Christ Returns In Fire And Final Judgement, Dissolving This Existing Earth By Fire, Immediately After The Tribulation?

This Existing Heaven And Earth Will Be (Replaced) By The New Heaven, Earth, Jerusalem, A New Creation, At The Return Of Jesus Christ?

(Behold, I Make All Things New)


2 Peter 3:10-13KJV
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

Revelation 21:1-5KJV
1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

Matthew 24:29-30KJV
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.

1 Corinthians 3:13KJV
13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.

Luke 17:29-30KJV
29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.


2 Thessalonians 1:7-9KJV
7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
8 In flaming fire taking vengeance
on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;

Malachi 3:2KJV
2 But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap:

Psalm 46:6KJV
6 The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.

Psalm 50:3KJV
3 Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.

Psalm 97:5KJV
5 The hills melted like wax at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

Isaiah 66:15KJV
15 For, behold, the Lord will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.

Zechariah 14:12KJV
12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.

Nahum 1:5-6KJV
5 The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein.
6 Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by him.

Revelation 20:9KJV
9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.

No dreams,just reading what happened.
The temple was there, the Holy place, now they are not.
Just like it says.
The entire chapter of Matthew is dedicated to the "Second Coming" who you kidding

No it’s just biblical slang language that people used for the world that they live in just like in the verse below In verse 19

John 12:-17-19
17 Now the crowd that was with him when he called Lazarus from the tomb and raised him from the dead continued to spread the word. 18 Many people, because they had heard that he had performed this sign, went out to meet him. 19 So the Pharisees said to one another, “See, this is getting us nowhere. Look how the whole world has gone after him!”

Obviously the whole world hadn’t gone after Jesus at that time they were just exaggerating and meaning the area that they lived in.

It’s interesting to me that you are ignoring all of the things that happened in history within the generation Jesus was talking too when He prophesied that Jerusalem and the temple would be destroyed within that generation and it actually happened within that generation.

Why don’t you just believe in the dated prophecy that Jesus predicted this was one of the reasons that many believed in Jesus?

This below is a section of my Matthew 24 study

Bertrand Russell a world class philosopher and leading intellect wrote a book called why I am not a Christian.

Albert Schweitzer believed Jesus was a false prophet.

Gerald Sigal an unbelieving Jew wrote on the web site Jews for Judaism that Jesus unfulfilled his promise.

Why are these three people claiming these things ?

Because Jesus said in Mathew Ch24:34

34I tell you the truth this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened
.
They believe like most people that these things did not happen in that generation therefore Jesus’s prediction did not come to pass in that generation making him to be a false prophet. But history and the understanding of what the scriptures really mean in Mathew Ch 24 proves that these things did happen in that generation in 70 AD, and reveals Jesus to be who he says he is the Christ the Messiah and that He is sitting on the right hand of the Father on His thrown.
Big difference.

"The people" said...the whole world.

Vs, Jesus said the whole world.

"The people" exaggerated, not Jesus.

The problem with the preterist is they think Jesus is the "Great Exaggerator".

Some naive Bible readers think the quotes of the unsaved in the Bible are gospel truth.

Even satan quoted truth in the bible but my point is that the Pharisees knew that Jesus didn’t have the whole world go after Him at that time it was their world as in the area that they were living in

So the verse below was the second coming

Matthew 24:1-2
24 Jesus left the temple and was walking away when his disciples came up to him to call his attention to its buildings.2 “Do you see all these things?” he asked. “Truly I tell you, not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.”

Just remember that when Jesus says the whole world, he means the whole world. Jesus does not fabricate things.

Also, everybody must realize that when Jesus said the gospel will go into all the world and then shall the end come , he would be referring to Revelation 14 as it was revealed to John. That is when the three angels preach the gospel to the entire world right before the end.

Did Jesus mean the whole world in the verse below or just the people that heard Him?

John 18:20
20 Jesus answered him, I have spoken openly to the world; I ever taught in synagogues, and in the temple, where all the Jews come together; and in secret spake I nothing.
