    Typical questions people ask about the Olivet Discourse.

    The abomination that makes desolate is something the faithful saints of God know, it is not something visibly seen. It was known by the first Jewish Christians when the nation of Israel forsook their promised Messiah/Redeemer and ceased to be the holy city and holy temple unto God. The same is...

    Typical questions people ask about the Olivet Discourse.

    You seem to have me confused with Preterits?? I've never said the Gospel of the Kingdom of God had been preached unto all the world within the first century. Even though Paul seems to indicate the Gospel had been preached unto the all world known then, we know that could only be the known...

    Typical questions people ask about the Olivet Discourse.

    Really? Then I wonder why Christ says the Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached? Why would Christ instruct His Gospel of the Kingdom of God to be preached if the discourse has nothing to say about the Kingdom of God that no man can visibly see, is not of this world, but it is within you...

    Typical questions people ask about the Olivet Discourse.

    The question was not only about the signs that would accompany the coming of Christ and the end of the world, they also asked about when the buildings and temple would be thrown down. Matthew 24:1-2 (KJV) And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to...

    Typical questions people ask about the Olivet Discourse.

    Apostasy did not come to Israel though physical warfare. It came to Israel because the Jews turned away from the one true God to worship other gods and idols. The Jews had already become apostate and an abomination unto God long before the first advent of Christ coming to earth a man. It is...

    Typical questions people ask about the Olivet Discourse.

    But "this generation" is not the same "they" that shall see the Son of man returning in the clouds. Some of "this generation", since it is referring to the "chosen generation" will be alive when the Lord returns and be some of "they" that shall see the return of Christ, because some disciples...

    Typical questions people ask about the Olivet Discourse.

    The generation alive to see the second coming is not "this generation" that shall not pass til all things are fulfilled. Christ is speaking to His disciples calling them and all His disciples to follow "this generation" that will not pass before all things are fulfilled. How could they...

    Typical questions people ask about the Olivet Discourse.

    Yes, and Christ knows the difference between "this generation" speaking to His disciples and all the tribes of the earth saying "and THEY shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds." THIS generation is not THEY that shall see Christ coming again. Whoever you decide "this generation" means...

    Typical questions people ask about the Olivet Discourse.

    Yes, just as an evil and adulterous are of one type of people, so too is a chosen generation of one type of people. 1 Peter 2:9 (KJV) But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of...

    It is the chosen generation that is from everlasting to everlasting. They shall not pass till all is fulfilled because they shall endure forever!

    What does Christ mean by 'this generation shall not pass'?

    NO! The Lord from heaven alone is the last Adam, a quickening Spirit. 1 Corinthians 15:45-47 (KJV) And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and...

    Typical questions people ask about the Olivet Discourse.

    Where does Scripture tell us that a single generation, you apparently think is future shall be eyewitnesses of all these things that shall be fulfilled before the second coming of Christ?

    Typical questions people ask about the Olivet Discourse.

    I have no idea of what the heck you are talking about! 70 AD is simply the date when Jerusalem and the temple fell to final ruin FOREVER through the Roman Army under the providence of God!

    Typical questions people ask about the Olivet Discourse.

    How does knowing the Kingdom of God that is not of this world, is not visible, and is within you, is a spiritual Kingdom, take away literal fulfillment that shall be when Christ comes again?

    Matthew 24

    That is NOT what Christ said! That's you reading your doctrine into the words of Christ. Well duh! I never said it came in 70 AD! Exactly! The Old Covenant unfaithful Jews were cursed, they have already fallen away, but that will never happen to the chosen generation that shall endure...

    What does Christ mean by 'this generation shall not pass'?

    We go from our mortal body a spiritual body to heaven after our body of flesh has breathed its last. That's because in life the spirit giving our mortal body physical life was born again and has the Holy Spirit within. Our spirit is not our physical body that shall be resurrected immortal and...

    What does Christ mean by 'this generation shall not pass'?

    You're going to be disappointed with a body resurrected immortal & incorruptible made alive again through the eternal spirit that returns with Christ??? I somehow don't think so, and I know Paul will not be disappointed to be free of evil, sickness/weakness, and death!

    Matthew 24

    Those belonging to the chosen generation began at creation, so too we also see those are of the evil generation was at the very beginning of creation. It was at the beginning that evil caused sin and death through sin to enter creation and destined everything with the breath of life to death...

    Typical questions people ask about the Olivet Discourse.

    What is the main purpose for the Discourse (1) was it written that believers might know through signs of the second coming of Christ, or (2) that believers might understand the Kingdom of God has come, and through preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom of God, the spiritual Kingdom of God shall be...
