    What does the Bible say about when Jesus Christ would return?

    I believe the end has happened. I believe our conversation is about as played out as it can be at this point. By me keeping it direct and to the point and what the Bible says. You now tell me, that in 1928 or whatever that was a significant Bible proponent of scripture which was fulfilled...

    What does the Bible say about when Jesus Christ would return?

    Even so, does it null everything Jesus had ever said against those religious Pharisees and scribes in that day when he was alive and breathing? Do you believe Jesus words just nulled out at the cross? They continued spreading the gospel. The gospel reached all the known world according to Paul...

    What does the Bible say about when Jesus Christ would return?

    Israel existed before as the tribes of Israel. So if you try to replace it by saying oh now they are officially Israel because of 1948 when they signed a document and became a nation. That doesn’t make sense when God chosen them as his chosen nation prior? Confusing… remember when they said...

    What does the Bible say about when Jesus Christ would return?

    Thank you for sharing @Truth7t7. Hope you are doing alright today brother. God bless you and your family. You can expose and say about other believers “Johnny so and so doesn’t believe this or he says that or whatever” however the Christian faith is always about the death, burial, and...

    What does the Bible say about when Jesus Christ would return?

    All of it connects from Matthew 21 - 24; Luke 21; Mark 13 ( I think). All three of those together bring about the full picture and the full picture looks like the wrath of God was going to be poured out the nation of Israel for they “KILLED THE SON OF GOD” which important to make note of. Not...

    What does the Bible say about when Jesus Christ would return?

    1,000,000 Jewish people died that day. @marks. The genealogy, the priest hoods, the temple, all material religion of the nation of Israel and the heaven and earth they knew was destroyed… it no longer is like it was 2000 years ago. That doesn’t mean that people shouldn’t still desire to learn...

    What does the Bible say about when Jesus Christ would return?

    Being part of the spiritual kingdom now today thought Marks. Do I need to show up to Jerusalem and worship!? Nope, to worship God now is to worship God in spirit and truth. I believe that in the context of the Gospels, as I shared prior Luke 21:20 shows the destruction that was going to come...

    What does the Bible say about when Jesus Christ would return?

    The first fruits wouldn’t that have something to do with those who had a role in spreading the gospel and being first to have access to faith? What does firstfruits mean?

    What does the Bible say about when Jesus Christ would return?

    Hello my brother Mark, thank you for continue to converse with me. You remind me of what Jesus said to his disciples on the mount of olives in Luke. “‘And when ye may see Jerusalem surrounded by encampments, then know that come nigh did her desolation;” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭21:20‬ ‭YLT98‬‬ Who will...

    What does the Bible say about when Jesus Christ would return?

    “and then shall appear the sign of the Son of Man in the heaven; and then shall all the tribes of the earth smite the breast, and they shall see the Son of Man coming upon the clouds of the heaven, with power and much glory; and he shall send his messengers with a great sound of a trumpet...

    What does the Bible say about when Jesus Christ would return?

    What do you mean what Jesus says is cryptic? Doesn’t he speak plainly to his disciples? I believe God had nothing to do with Israel materially anymore, however people who are believers in the gospel of Christ are part of the heavenly kingdom of Jerusalem on High.

    What does the Bible say about when Jesus Christ would return?

    I don’t believe 1948 has anything to do with the return of Jesus. That is getting way far out there in my opinion. Who pierced Jesus though? @marks? Who is gonna see? The audience around them was waiting on the appearing of the Lord? Gotta take the context for what it is… who had Jesus...

    What does the Bible say about when Jesus Christ would return?

    Your view on generation, like I said I believe it’s a literal 40 year time. Is that something you would take in consideration as well? @marks? I’ll share this information with you might find interesting. ““And we apostles are witnesses of all he did throughout Judea and in Jerusalem. They put...

    What does the Bible say about when Jesus Christ would return?

    I read what you had to say, however what is it? It hasn’t happened yet though in your opinion? Generation is also a period of time: it also noted as 40 years worth of time. I’m 31 now, by the time I hit 40 my generation is pretty much over with. The world I grew up in and learned from seems to...

    What does the Bible say about when Jesus Christ would return?

    Think about how the nation of Israel who Jesus was sent to go to, had him killed. At the judgment call of pilate the people told pilate let Jesus blood be on ours and our children’s hand… Remember the parable of the lot of land that was rented out to a certain people, and there had been people...

    What does the Bible say about when Jesus Christ would return?

    When reading Matthew 24 my friend it may be good to start at Matthew 21 first and see what you think about it after that. If you wanna share with me what you believe Jesus meant in a generation you may. You know I take it as in 40 years the wrath of God was to fall of Israel. What do you...

    What does the Bible say about when Jesus Christ would return?

    Thank you for participating mark. You are my brother in Christ and thank you for sharing. You wanna tell me jesus is lying though I can’t really trust you either then… I’m called to think for myself and make my own decisions… when it comes to these subjects and it is why the faith to me...

    What does the Bible say about when Jesus Christ would return?

    Matthew 24:34 The Bible must be a liar then, isn’t this truth? It doesn’t matter if it negates your faith or not. You say no? Why? Was Jesus being honest here? how can you have it your way and Jesus way?
