    The Relationship Between Israel and the Church

    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...

    If the present tense verb implies immediate action it means it’s happening now, at the very moment from the authors point of view. So if the coming quickly is an “instantaneous” action, then grammatically, it’s happening when John was told it. In other words, Christ would be immediately in the...

    This is the context of how Dan. 9:24-27 should be considered!

    In Greek, the present tense usually represents a continuous or repeated action. For example, “I am running” is present tense. Grammatically, the phrase “I am running” refers to the continuous action of running and does not necessarily define its cessation. Context provides that information. For...

    I never said quickly means near or soon. You’ve assumed that, contrary to the multiple times I said I think it means quickly. And that explains why your counterpoints have been confusing, as you’ve created a strawman - arguing against something I never said. The verb “I am coming” is present...

    The Relationship Between Israel and the Church

    It’s in the first century genre known as apocalyptic literature. It’s not meant to be taken literally.

    The Relationship Between Israel and the Church

    If it’s not guesswork, can you provide and clear teaching of the millennium from the gospels, epistles, or book of acts?

    How can one generation experience all of the events of the discourse if some were happening then and some have still not happened?

    This is the context of how Dan. 9:24-27 should be considered!

    So the apostles no where say that the coming of Christ is near, in the NT?

    It’s an expression…… Are you even reading my posts? Why do you keep asking this over and over again. As already previously stated, I believe tachy means quickly. You believe that is false understanding? I’ve already agreed it can mean quickly, and without delay. I never once said tachy means...

    Bingo! Now we are talking. While Greek present tense often does indicate action occurring in the present, that is not always the case. Present tense portrays an imperfect aspect (continuous action) and context often determines the timing of when this action is taking place. I’m pretty sure...

    We all think our arguments are clear, but that is not always the case. Revelation 22:12 “ I am coming quickly”. I am coming is a present tense verb. Was Christ presently coming immediately when the revelation was given to John?

    The Relationship Between Israel and the Church

    No, I mean that the teachings of Christ and the apostles, as presented in the gospels, book of acts, and epistles reveal how God determines fulfilled prophecy. If a certain OT prophecy is not mentioned/explained OR if a NT vision, such as the book of revelation, is not explained, its meaning is...

    This is the context of how Dan. 9:24-27 should be considered!

    But Jesus said the time was near in revelation, James said the coming of the Lord had drawn near in James 5, the author of Hebrews said the coming would occur in a little while and without delay, John said it was the last hour, and Peter said the end of all things had drawn near. Jesus said...

    The Relationship Between Israel and the Church

    No it didn’t leave them out. it simply translated them “about me” which is the same thing. No, it doesn’t. The NT is the teachings of Jesus and the apostles. No where do they affirm what you espouse.

    So, still within the first century generation. According to who? Who gets to determine if a prophecy is 100 percent fulfilled or not?

    I’m very confused by your response…. I think you are referring to the Helps Word Studies definition - not “necessarily in a very short time”? Helps word studies is the common argument for the definition of tachy in revelation 22:12, where Christ says “I am coming (present tense verb) quickly”...
