Futurists are devoid of understanding that the message from Christ was of greater importance to the first century Christian disciples than any other time on earth. Because they had to understand to survive the great tribulation that would begin that must continue to be carried on toward...

That's because dead flesh has no life at all. But man is more than flesh, they also possess a breath of life which is man's spirit. It is not the flesh of man that returns to God, it is the spirit of man that returns to God. And if our spirit has eternal/everlasting life through the Spirit of...

Do a study of abomination and desolation to try to understand how Old Covenant Israel had abomination that made Her a desolation unto God long before the first advent of Christ. We are called to understand, have knowledge of, and know what abomination that makes desolate is if we are to have...

I didn't say eido never means visibly seeing. I said the abomination of desolation spoken by Daniel does not mean visibly seeing. If that were the case the word "shall see" would have been translated from the Greek word optánomai which means to see something with eyes wide open, looking at...

It's not the same context at all! The Discourse paints a picture of what began to come to pass in the first century AD, while Timothy is painting a picture of what shall be the end of that which began to come to pass for first century disciples of Christ, and all faithful disciples that come...

I agree that's what Paul and the first century disciples believed, because to them the Roman Empire was the "whole world." The end of this world, which btw is made of earth/land, shall not be until Christ comes again to gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to...

The Bible doesn't specifically tell us where the GWTJ shall take place David. For all we know it could be in outer darkness where there is said to be weeping and gnashing of teeth? You try harder than anyone I know to prove your doctrine of deception. We know only when the GWTJ shall be, and...

Only to Preterits who have a doctrine to maintain. Yes, those who lived in Paul's own day! That does not include all who live and die and after the first century AD. When will the eyes of "they who pierced Him" literally see Him? They shall see Him when they are called to stand before the...

Matthew 24:15-16KJV The Greek word translated eido "shall see" in this verse is not seeing with physical sight. It is to have knowledge or be aware of, understand or perceive. If it meant to see visibly as in verse 30 "they shall see" the Greek word translated would be optánomai that means...

I don't need to know that which is false when I can read from the Word of God the life we receive when we believe in Him is everlasting, and though our body of flesh is destined to die, we shall NEVER die. Because we are NOT our body of flesh & bone, our body is that which houses who we are...

No he does not! Luke writes that when Jerusalem is surrounded by armies the desolation of the city and temple had come. True their physical end came to Israel because the nation had become an abomination unto God through spiritual idolatry and adultery, but the Roman Army did not even come for...

The physical returning of Christ shall be visible to all who are alive upon the earth who shall see Him coming in the clouds in the same way He was seen leaving this earth. There was not bodily resurrection of the spiritually dead or physically dead in the first century, other than the...

It had indeed reached the world known then, but it could not have been a witness unto all nations in the first century because there have been many new nations born since the first century AD. So when we read "all the world" from the first century, it should be understood as the world as it...

Neither the destruction of the city and temple nor the death of Christ were symbolic. There were both literal destructions brought on by spiritual apostasy of the people who were chosen to represent God to all people upon this earth. The challenge for the futurists to overcome is the FACT that...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...
