    The fallacy of believing Jesus was talking about the temple of stones on the Mount of Olives

    That's not a "gap". It has no ending. A gap is a break in a barrier. It has an identifiable beginning and ending. The gap in Matthew 24 and Daniel 9 began with Jesus' prophecy in 30 AD, and ended with the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD. Dispensational futurism's "gap" doesn't qualify.

    The fallacy of believing Jesus was talking about the temple of stones on the Mount of Olives

    The fallacy of believing Jesus was talking about the temple of stones on the Mount of Olives

    The grammatical referent of "he" resolves to "Messiah the Prince". "He" did indeed make "it" desolate, "it" resolving to the "city" or the "sanctuary" and ultimately both. "Messiah the Prince" was the Commander and Controller of the "people of the prince", the Romans and Jews, who desolated...

    GOSPEL TO BE PREACHED TO THE NATIONS "And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then [not until then] shall the end come" (Mt. 24:14). Unless we take this verse clear out of its setting, "the end" in view here is the end or destruction...

    WARS AND RUMORS OF WARS Matthew: “And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars. See that ye be not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom” (24:6, 7). Mark: “And when ye shall hear of wars and...

    Matthew 21:12 And Jesus went into His body, and cast out all them that sold and bought in His body, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, Very gnostic.

    What are you blathering about? :laughing: I didn't leave with you and them. So I'm no gnostic. :laughing: And Jesus was the Greatest Preterist who ever lived. And I'm historicist but I'm aware that means nothing to you. :laughing:
