Yes, of course. But, is that "the end" Jesus was talking about? Considering that He was asked about "the end of the age" and considering that 70 AD was not the end of the age, I don't think so. I know you pointed out that a different Greek word translated as "the end" was used in verse 3 than...

But Matthew 24:6,13-14 (the verses where "telos" was used and translated as "the end") aren't about Christ's death on the cross, so "telos" can't be referring to His death on the cross and the end of the old covenant, if that is your point.

Show me where there is a reference to "the OT Jewish economy". What does that even mean? I don't think different words being used that basically mean the same thing is enough evidence to conclude that when He referenced "the end" that it wasn't a reference to the end of the age. Also, why...

How does it make sense? You are using terms that aren't used in scripture, so that is adding confusion to this discussion. Scripture never references the "OT Jewish economy", so can you define exactly what that is? Scripture does reference the old covenant and the old covenant was made obsolete...

I disagree. I don't see how you could possibly conclude that He's not talking about His second coming in verses 30-31. If those verses aren't about HIs second coming, then I don't know what verses are. I guess you are closer to being a partial preterist than I thought. Do you consider yourself...

I agree. I think that's an acceptable way of looking at 1 Peter 4:7. But, I think looking at it similarly to how you look at James 5:8 (which I agree with) is acceptable as well and that's how I tend to look at 1 Peter 4:7 (that it's talking about the end of all things as approaching). The same...

Right. But, what was being discussed was what Jesus meant when He referenced "the end" within Matthew 24:4-14. He referenced "the end" in verses 6, 13 and 14. I believe He was referring to "the end of the age" that He was being asked about. Since I believe the end of the age doesn't occur until...

I, of course, understand the concept of the Holy Spirit (Spirit of God, Spirit of Christ) coming to dwell in us, which happens upon conversion. But, what I'm trying to get at is where does scripture speak of this in terms of talking about it coming quickly or being near, etc.? That is the topic...

Exactly. Clearly, God felt that it was very important for people to understand this which is why it was repeated so many times. Yet, people still somehow miss that ethnicity or nationality means nothing, but instead belonging to Jesus Christ is what matters regardless of whether you're a Jew or...

Who is being replaced exactly and how exactly are they being replaced? What did Paul say about who is part of the Israel of God? Galatians 6:14 May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.15 Neither...

Salvation is an individual thing, not a national thing. Jesus said whosoever believes in Him will have eternal life, not whatever nation believes in Him.

I guess Paul and Peter didn't get the memo: Romans 10:12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”[f] Acts 15:7 And when there had been much...

You are the one who made false accusations. Why not acknowledge that? You pretended to know what I was thinking, but you do not. Are you too proud to admit that? Only God knows what I'm thinking, not you. You are clearly the one who needs to grow up. You're not pointing out anything by saying...

I think it makes a lot of sense that after being asked a question about "the end of the age" that any reference He made to "the end" should be understood to refer to the end of the age. So, I have to disagree with you (and those commentators) on this. So, in terms of Matthew 24, is it your...

Yes, because that was a lie. I didn't say that. I think you take a lot of things literally that are symbolic, but I didn't say you take everything literally. In fact, I said we both takes some things symbolically and some literally. No, I didn't. Definitely. It would help if you grew up and...

I disagree that it relates to 70 AD since I believe that "the end" He referenced referred to "the end of the age" He asked about and I don't believe there was an end to any age in 70 AD. I asked if you believe "the end" He referenced in Matthew 24:4-14 refers to the end of the age, but you...

So, what exactly do you think it means to rule/shepherd with a rod of iron and what evidence do you have to support your opinion? Please be specific. Do you take the original prophecy into account when considering what it means? Psalm 2:8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine...

What does that mean exactly? You're being a bit vague here, so I'll need you to clarify what you're talking about here. When you talk about "the coming of Christ through His Spirit" are you talking in terms of His Spirit coming to dwell in people such as what began happening long ago on the day...

Of course I know that. That is what I've been saying all along. Who exactly do you think will He rule with a rod of iron considering He will have already destroyed His enemies with His rod of iron? If you look at Revelation 19:15 carefully you should see that it paints a picture of complete...

Would you agree that in those verses you referenced at the beginning of your post Jesus was talking about things that would happen before "the end"? In other words, would you agree that not only Matthew 24:4-5, but also Matthew 24:6-14 are things that would have to occur before "the end"? If so...
