The Complete Chapter Of Matthew 24 Is Dedicated In Answering The Questions In Verse Three Below

Matthew 24:3KJV
3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

We clearly see Matthew 24:15 in Daniel's (AOD) that causes (The Great Tribulation) in Matthew 24:21, and immediately after this tribulation the second coming takes place as seen in Matthew 24:29-30 (They Shall See The Son Of Man Coming)

The Olivet discourse is showing future signs that lead up to the future second coming of Jesus Christ and end of this world
The KJV translation of Matthew 24:3 is considered erroneous and even the New King James Version goes with the more literal translation:
3 Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?” Matthew 24:3
I know that you prefer to believe that there is no millennial kingdom, but the literal translation resolves the supposed scriptural contradictions of replacement theology and dispensationalism.

The Temple in Jerusalem was symbolically destroyed, gone, never to be seen again, not one stone left upon another in 33AD

Matthew 27:50-51KJV
50 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;

The temple of Herod was *literally destroyed* in 70 AD!

Jesus didnt reference the temple of stone in Jerusalem as you claim, he spoke symbolically of the temple of his body

Will you be as the pharisees in believing it was a literal temple of stone, that took 46 years to build?

Yes his disciples remembered he had stated such in their presence, it's that simple

As is clearly seen, 70AD fulfillment is a teaching in error.

John 2:18-22KJV
18 Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?
19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
21 But he spake of the temple of his body.
22 When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.

The Temple in Jerusalem was "symbolically destroyed", gone, never to be seen again, not one stone left upon another in 33AD, just as Jesus spoke "symbolically" to the pharisees

Matthew 27:50-51KJV
50 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;

As we already agreed, we differ on this. It's ludicrous to say that because Jesus spoke of the temple of his body in one place that in *every place* in the Bible, wherever the temple is mentioned, it is a reference to Jesus' body! Was the tabernacle of Moses Jesus' body? No. Was Solomon's temple Jesus' body? No. Was the Restoration Temple Jesus' body? No. Was Herod's temple Jesus' body? Again, no!

You obviously have no training in interpretation and shouldn't be misleading others on something you have no understanding about. There is a big difference between saying the physical temple *symbolizes* something, and saying it *is* something! The temple of Herod was *not* Jesus' body. But it did, in theory, symbolize it.

But what Jesus referred to in John 2 is that the temple of his body is an *entirely different temple*--not the temple of Herod! His body was a temple originating from God in heaven, whereas Herod's temple was merely patterned after the heavenly temple. You should note the distinctions rather than just regularly repeat your ridiculous view.

When Jesus said the stones of the temple would literally come down, right after mentioning a widow paying money into the temple treasury, he was referring to Herod's temple, the literal temple--not his own body. Quit being so stubborn!

Matthew 24:2 "And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down."

Does this mean that the Wailing Wall is not part of the original temple?

Your absolutely 100% correct

Yes the wailing wall are foundational stones for the temple, stacked upon one another, and they arent thrown down physically

The 70AD destruction of Jerusalem plays no part in fulfillment of Matthew 24

Yes, I've been there. The Wailing Wall is a very large retaining wall for the temple plaza--at least the plaza that is there now. The temple is completely gone, just as Jesus said.

No, you're wrong again.

"The Wailing Wall, also known as the Western Wall, is a 187-foot-high section of the ancient wall built by Herod the Great as the retaining wall of the Temple Mount complex."

You think I'm as the Pharisees for believing Jesus spoke of the literal temple in Matt 24? Do you think the whole world is crazy and you alone are sane? Every Bible scholar I know that believes the Bible would likely say that Jesus spoke of the literal temple in the Olivet Discourse. Please find me a scholar who will say otherwise?

Nobody, nobody, nobody is denying that Jesus referred to the temple of his body! Nobody is denying that some failed to understand Jesus meant this when he said it.

What I'm denying is that Jesus made *all* references he made to the temple to be about his own human body! The *context* matters, brother!!
