He's talking about the end of the world.Yes, it is a sign of the coming rapture, tribulation period, second coming and MK.
This does not take into account of what the church is, as per Ephesians, for example: a heavenly people preaching the Gospel in all the world.The church is fulfilling Israel's calling. The broken of unbelievers are not. If the Church looks like Israel, it probably is.
They preach the gospel to the whole world fulfilling the promise God made to Abraham. Namely, that the gentiles would be blessed in him. We are doing this and have been for centuries, even millennia.This does not take into account of what the church is, as per Ephesians, for example: a heavenly people preaching the Gospel in all the world.
But Israel in the Old Testament is not like the church in Acts, after Pentecost, as regards the scope and nature of activity.They preach the gospel to the whole world fulfilling the promise God made to Abraham.

It's the same church with people saved the same way. The difference is in the OT it was a State Church made up of believers and unbelievers. In the NT it is believers only with the State and unbelievers removed. And believing gentiles taking up the space the unbelievers once occupied.But Israel in the Old Testament is not like the church in Acts, after Pentecost, as regards the scope and nature of activity.

In a word, no. The simplicity of Acts 2.41-41 is far removed from the Old Testament system.It's the same church with people saved the same way.

The system is gone but the church remains the body of Christ both then and now.In a word, no. The simplicity of Acts 2.41-41 is far removed from the Old Testament system.
Notice it does not specify what comes to an end.“And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” (Matthew 24:14)
Notice the absence of a millennium.
But the veil of the temple which was rent showed that a fundamentally different arrangement marked the difference before and after.The system is gone but the church remains the body of Christ both then and now.

The 'Abba, Father' that the believer cries (Romans 8) is very much based on New Testament, post-Pentecost revelation in Scripture.As well the Old Testament Temple was stone. The New Testament Temple is our spirits.
I was actually thinking of ch. 39, at the end of the chapter.
25 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for my holy name;
26 After that they have borne their shame, and all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed against me, when they dwelt safely in their land, and none made them afraid.
27 When I have brought them again from the people, and gathered them out of their enemies' lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations;
28 Then shall they know that I am the Lord their God, which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there.
29 Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord God.
In that it says, "left none of them any more there", to me this is only fulfilled when ALL Israelites are returned to the Land.
It is amazing how many people blame errors on the Holy Spirit.The Holy Spirit points it out.
I think that the reason why dippys etc are looking forward to what they think or claim is the 2ed coming, is that they are not born again.The system is gone but the church remains the body of Christ both then and now.
Absolutely not. In the context of Matthew 24 "the end" is the Second Coming of Christ. Which is far removed from the end of the world. Indeed the Second Coming is for the establishing of the Kingdom of God on earth. There are many events and much time between this and "the end of the age" (or the end of the world) which is just before the New Heavens and the New Earth are established.He's talking about the end of the world.
