    The Christians were gone from Jerusalem and Judea by 66 AD. There was no one else from whom to hear about it. Josephus was a Jew. He wouldn't have been spending his time listening to Christians, and if he had, he wouldn't have believed the predictions of the Olivet discourse condemning his...

    The Church Is The Israel Of God, Children Of The Promised Seed

    Stop avoiding the questions. Ten thousand in 1 Corinthians 4:15 is a figurative number because it is a hypothetical number. The NASB and YLT (and other translations) all capture its essence. 1 Corinthians 4:15 NASB For if you were to have countless tutors in Christ, yet you would not have...

    Timing of the abomination of desolation

    The Judean Christians' flight had nothing to do with Zechariah or Daniel or a first resurrection. It had to do with their recognition of, and acting upon, Jesus' warning. Which they did, and survived, exactly as Jesus intended.

    Timing of the abomination of desolation

    He knew there would be a withdrawal, which is why He issued the warning to flee. The Judean Christians recognized and seized the opportunity, and survived, exactly as Jesus intended.

    The Church Is The Israel Of God, Children Of The Promised Seed

    Is "trinity" found in a verse? Explain Scripturally how to reach 10,000 without first reaching 9,999.

    Timing of the abomination of desolation

    Sure. But the Christians escaped when Cestius Gallus inexplicably withdrew the Roman armies for a brief interval, and none perished in the invasion and destruction under Titus that followed.
