That is not my interpretation - Scripture labels this as "seventy sevens". Everyone in Christ's days had been counting down the time of those "seventy sevens" and the Pharisees sent a delegation to John in AD 30 asking if he were the fulfillment of the Messiah prophecy. "Seventy sevens" from...

This is the end of the period described as the "beginning of sorrows" described in Matthew 24:8. Those particular sorrows would come to an end. The NHNE conditions of Revelation 21-22 are not sinless. Sinners committing sinful activity is still going on outside New Jerusalem's open gates...

I didn't change the subject. I wrote that all the Matthew references you gave concerning a "completion of the age" were just one of the multiple ages that were then coming to an end in Paul's days. Paul spoke to Felix about a resurrection of the just and the unjust that was "about to be" in...

NO, there aren't two. The Isaiah 65 description of the New Heavens and the New Earth is the SAME conditions as the NHNE of Revelation 21-22, as well as being the SAME conditions of the NHNE that 2 Peter 3:13 said his own audience was then expecting in their days. It is the SAME description...

There is a verse in Revelation that the Full Preterists tend to ignore, and it is Revelation 10:4 - the prophecies that the seven thunders uttered which John was forbidden to write down, but was to "seal up" for times to come later on. This information was not needed for John's immediate...

If you check Isaiah 65's description of the New Heavens and the New Earth, it INCLUDES sinners, the righteous and sinners dying, curses, the birth of offspring, planting, harvesting, building houses, praying to God. There are some things in this list that cannot possibly describe the after-life...

Well, it was a bit more than just a single "end of the age" that the NT writers discussed. Paul wrote about "the ENDS (PLURAL) of the AGES (PLURAL) that had come upon them at that time (1 Cor. 10:11 - "Now all these things happened unto them for examples: and they are written for our...

Yep, this is very true. I press this point on those who think that the Old Covenant was only in a "transition" of sorts until AD 70. That Old Covenant was dead as a doornail on Christ' resurrection day when the New Covenant was launched with a new high priesthood. God was just "taking out...

We are presently IN the NHNE reality. After all, Hebrews 12:22 wrote "But ye ARE COME unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels..." This was an already-established city for the saints. It has already come down from...

YES. I do agree. As in Ezekiel 45:1-7 when the prophet was describing the post-exilic arrangement of the land of Israel being set up. "Moreover, when ye shall divide by lot the land for inheritance, ye shall offer an oblation unto the Lord, an HOLY PORTION of the land: the length shall be the...

This AOD is "ARMIES surrounding Jerusalem" (Luke 21:2-21), and standing in the holy place where Gentiles were not allowed to be. This abomination of a standing army in Jerusalem happened once before under Antiochus E when "ARMS shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of...

No, "hoitines" meaning "whoseover" doesn't mark a distinction between two different groups in this verse. That little Greek word "kai" has TWO variable interpretations, meaning either "And" or "namely", as used in an explanatory sense. The KJV (and others) mistakenly pick the wrong...

That is speaking of the soul of a person which is given the security of eternal life during a person's natural lifetime after coming to faith in Christ. Those who believe are demonstrating that they are then in possession of eternal life. They never lose it. "He that believeth on me HATH...

You are absolutely correct here. The Armageddon site was only where the combatants were "gathered together". From that location, they were to "go up on the breadth of the earth" across the land of Israel, converging on the "beloved city" of Jerusalem where the battle actually was to take...

You keep misidentifying the creatures in that Rev. 9 prophecy. They weren't scorpions. They were called "locusts" who had tails like scorpions. All that symbolic language describes the torment caused by the soldiers under Gessius Florus the Judean governor who was doing his best to incite a...

Jesus said that whoever believes in Him "shall not die forever". The bodies of believers do not stay physically dead forever. They are changed in the resurrection process into an incorruptible and immortal condition. But there is no such thing as a promise of a translation change for us...

Here is one simple text which tells us that Australia or Japan, etc. needn't necessarily have been included for the gospel to have gone into all the world before Christ bodily returned in AD 70. Luke 2:1 tells us that "there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be...

The eye-witnesses inside the city of Jerusalem who witnessed Christ's bodily return to the Mount of Olives in AD 70 DIED soon after in the disintegrating city from rampant starvation, the sword, disease, or they were among the 97,000 taken captive by the Romans at the end and sent into slavery...

Jesus warned His own generation about Gehenna. That was not the eternal state for the wicked dead He was talking about. It was the burning garbage dump of Jerusalem where all the dead bodies of those inside besieged Jerusalem were dumped by the thousands in those AD 66-70 years. You sound...

No, that is not Scripture's own definition of what the Abomination of desolation was. It wasn't the Antichrist. Luke 21:20's comparable account of Matthew 24 and Mark 13 defines the AOD clearly as "When ye see Jerusalem surrounded by armies,...". In October of AD 66 the believers did flee...
