Incorrect, you only gave me your personal opinions on things I wasn’t even talking about. I didn’t ask who Jesus was talking to. It’s obvious from the text he was talking to his disciples, in front of him, in private. I asked about Matthew 24:32-33. I asked, did Jesus privately tell his...

Like I said, I’m not going to answer your unrelated questions, if you first do not address the actual point I made, to which you foisted yourself onto “The disciples will know it is near when WE see the events of the Olivet discourse” is not an answer to the question: did Jesus tell the...

@Trekson Doesn’t answer my question. Do you believe the scarlet beast in the wilderness is the same as the beast (lion, bear, leopard combo) that comes out the sea? Or do you think they are different beasts whose heads represent the same thing?

you seem to be getting a little worked up. Maybe take a deep breath and pause to think before having to rely on personal attacks in attempt to bolster your position I never said you couldn’t respond to me. I simply reminded you that you put yourself into someone else’s conversation, that didn’t...

Glad to be of service. Looking at the phrase “ I am coming quickly” by itself, in a vacuum, without including any surround context, means it defaults to happening now. You need additional context to make the claim “we have no indication of when it is until the action occurs”. Because of the...

More red herrings. I’ll remind you, that you interrupted my dialogue with another user, to posit questions and statements completely unrelated to me and the others use’s dialogue. Why would I answer those before you actually address anything I posted. 1.) did Jesus tell the disciples they...

so are you saying the beasts are the same? Or simply that the 7 heads and 10 horns, whether beast or dragon, represent the same thing?

asking me if the tribulation and persecution are the literal stone temple or not, is completely unrelated to my question. Now we can add red herring to your list of argumentative fallacies. so I’ll try again: did Jesus tell his disciples that when they saw all the events of the Olivet...

Your long winded, convoluted, and ad hominem response doesn’t address my point at all. 1.) did Jesus tell the disciples, they “would know” it was near, right at the door, when they saw the events of the Olivet discourse, like how they knew summer was near when the fig tree sprouted leaves...

Revelation 13 is a different vision than 17. The explanation for chapter 13 is in 17?

right, and visions and dreams are often unclear language requiring interpretation and understanding. Unless, Are you telling me that you believe a real and literal 7 headed beast will come out of the sea, as described in revelation 13?

Not knowing the exact day nor hour is not the same as knowing when the time is near. For example, a woman may not know the exact day nor hour of her the birth, but she knows the general time frame of 9 months is to be expected. She may know the time giving birth is literally near at month 8-9...

Exactly, it’s guesswork

I’m glad me describing the purpose of yawning could provide some entertainment. That being said, not everyone enjoys getting into the fine details of Greek grammar, so I understand that going beyond the English surface level reading may be boring to some. You are literally bored everytime you...

Numbers 12:6-7 6And he said, “Hear my words: If there is a prophet among you, I the LORD make myself known to him in a vision; I speak with him in a dream. 7Not so with my servant Moses. He is faithful in all my house. 8With him I speak mouth to mouth, clearly, and not in riddles, and he beholds...

So it’s guesswork, and This would be evidenced by the 100s of not 1000s of different interpretations by futurists

Ok, so how do we determine when God determines a prophecy as fulfilled, especially its when not mentioned in the NT?

Jesus said they “would know” when it was near in Matthew 24:31-33. Not could, not maybe, not possibly, but would know. So again, did the apostles ever say the coming was near, soon, in a little while without delay? Or that it was the last hour? Or that the end of all things had drawn near?

i totally understand that tedious and difficult subjects may result in a need to cool the brain and reset one’s fatigue.

Good grief, I know it doesn’t imply that in that context. I said “IF”. I was simply demonstrating the different ways the present tense work…… Present tense verbs demonstrate continuous or linear action. The present tense indicates continuous or linear action. It may represent action that is...
