I agree, and wonder too why that's so hard to understand?

I agree there was a physical end in AD 70. But the Old Covenant was done away through the sacrificial death of Christ. Through His death the New Covenant came, vanquishing the Old and ushering in the New. Hebrews 9:15-17 (KJV) And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that...

Not exactly! The breath of life is in every breathing creature upon the earth is 'spirit', not soul. The outward body and the breath of life (spirit) together became a living soul. In the following verse the dust of the ground creates the body, and the breath of life, which is נְשָׁמָה...

If you read more carefully what I've written, you will see that I did not say Christ would come down in human form. I said: "Christ in human form will again be physically seen coming in the clouds in the same manner in which He was seen leaving this earth." It is written that Christ will be...

I'm glad we find agreement thus far. All spirits return to God alive with the life-giving Spirit, or without the life-giving Spirit in silence and darkness. The part of the soul that makes every living creature complete, after physical death is physically bound to the earth in death until the...

You already have the answer! We are promised eternal life the moment we believe and are born again of His Spirit in us. The Spirit promises never to leave us before we receive that which Christ purchased for us through His sacrificial blood and resurrection. So, the Spirit sent from Christ...

Only the soul that sins returns to God without life. Because the soul (living human being) that dies in their sins does not possess eternal spiritual life through the Spirit of Christ in them. So the spirit in that soul (human) returns to God who gave it without life, and is said to be in...

You quoted the passage that explains the difference between the spirit in every living breathing creature upon the earth, and the soul the physical body of the dust of the earth becomes together with the spirit that comes from God. God took the dust of the earth and formed man's body, then...

I believe the time for total, and irrefutable destruction was delayed until the appointed time AD 70 because that's when the full measure of their damnation would be complete. Genesis 15:16 (KJV) But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is...

This passage is talking about two things that have an end. One end comes for the faithful saints when we physically die and as spiritual body ascend to the Kingdom of God in heaven. When all who shall be saved are eternally, spiritually secure in Christ then 1Cor 15:51-58 shall come to pass...

The end of all things is approaching/drawing near. It has been approaching since the advent of Christ. Peter calls this "the day of the Lord", not the end. I'm not disputing you, I agree, all things of this earth will come to an end when Christ returns, but you are comparing it with "the end"...

The Greek word 'telos' is referring to the end of their life. IOW if they remain faithful unto death (the end) they will be blameless on the day of our Lord. The end here comes for saints who physically die since Christ has come. After those who belong to Him have died and come to Him "the...

I agree! The end is reference to whatever is in view! But the end of this world with the return of Christ is the end of ALL things that belong to this earth. Christ references both the end of the Old Covenant and the end when He shall come again.

This is true! I agree that Christ is saying the Old Covenant ends, so the New Covenant through Christ would be established. I think you and I are in agreement on that much. But I don't believe the end for Old Covenant Israel was the literal destruction in AD 70. I believe it ended with the...

I understand how 70 AD seems to fit the prophetic words of Christ. What causes me to conclude Christ was speaking of the end of the Old as being the advent of Christ's cross, is remembering who Christ was speaking to. Yes, they are Jews, but first and foremost in my mind they are His...

But wasn't there an end of the Old Covenant, and another end beginning, both through the Advent of Christ?

While I agree Covenantee, I'm thinking of "telos" is the end of the OT that came through the cross, and 70 AD the resulting desolation of that end?

No. James 5:8 (KJVSL) Be μακροθυμέω ye ὑμεῖς also καί patient μακροθυμέω; stablish στηρίζω your ὑμῶν hearts καρδία: for ὅτι the coming παρουσία of the Lord κύριος draweth nigh ἐγγίζω. Strong's Greek Dictionary 1448. ἐγγίζω engizo (engízō) Search for G1448 in KJVSL; in KJV ἐγγίζω engízō...

I don't question the Divine perspective. I question that I am able to discern His perspective of time. I have only 24 hour days to guide me, and God resides outside of this time. He is from everlasting to everlasting without time. That's why it is written that a thousand years and one day...

I don't believe man is asked to view time from God's perspective. How would that even be possible since God does not exist in time. Time was given for the natural, physical earth and mankind living upon it. Neither do I believe that I miss deep meaning of heavenly truths because I don't...
