One Gospel: Gospel of Reconciliation. Jesus Christ came into THEIR kingdom to reconcile fallen angels unto Himself. We are the fallen angels (ELOHIM) kept in DNA chains of darkness. If you do not confess being a fallen angel in Lucifer's kingdom, then you are an unbeliever. Unbeliever = those that claim to be made in the image of ELOHIM(gods). REPENT FALLEN ANGELS.
Christians call Israel the ( Holy Land), but it's nothing more than a tourist destination...they go there to see what it was 2000 years ago and most of the land especially the city of David is still buried, the temple mound has a Muslim Mocque built in the middle of it... and the largest LGBTQ march goes on every year in Tel- Avie, and they call it the Holy Land...God help us!
Today I listened to 2 parts of Gary DeMar’s presentation titled “Far As The Curse Is Found”. He goes to great lengths to demonstrate the falsehood of Dispensationalism and common ignorance regarding time-statements and audience relevance. I can surely appreciate that. However, in part 2, he says, “Not all Jews rejected Jesus as the Promised Messiah. The Jews did not reject Jesus. It was mostly the hierarchy, the establishment, that rejected Jesus as the Promised Messiah. They are the ones who brought Jesus before Pilate because they knew they could not use their religious arguments against Jesus, so they brought political arguments….So it was necessary for Jesus to separate the unbelievers and the believers, to basically get rid of the Old Covenant order, and that was with the destruction of Jerusalem that took place in AD 70. Now the Full Preterist says everything ended, everything ended, for the world at large after the destruction of Jerusalem AD 70. There’s really nothing yet to experience as Christians ands be involved in the world. Yes, you can do all that, but things just keep going on and on and on. Because according to them, Israel’s eschatology is our eschatology” (what he later calls “world eschatology”). I couldn’t keep count regarding how many times Gary said that New Testament eschatology is Israel’s eschatology. So where do we find “our eschatology”, this “world eschatology” he speaks of? What exactly needs to end in the “Post-AD 70 world” (as he calls it)? What Full Preterist believes what Gary is saying? None of the hundreds of Full Preterists that I network with. Rather, Full Preterists say that the Old Covenant order ended and there is a whole lot of healing, growth, and opportunity for Christians to experience since the time that ‘not one stone was left’. And since that’s so, it’s surely good news that “things just keep going on and one and on”.
Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.
Hello, I am new to preterism and coming out of a premil group kinda messed up my eschatology and everything that I know. I just have a few questions for now about being "born again", is that still for post AD70 people to apply to enter heaven? How are we saved today? Can you elaborate more on that in a preterist perspective. Secondly, what happens after life or upon death? Lastly, was the Holy Spirit "only" sent for the Israelites, to indwell them and not meant for us, post AD70? How does that work now? Please use verses to show me. Thank you for your help. Victor from Long Beach CA.
Yes we must still be born again. After we die; we are resurrected. To be absent from the body is to be present with Lord. When you are born again you do recieve the Holy Spirit. Remember it's the Spirit that quickens. You do not recieve supernatural powers however. I believe God is in control and answers prayers. I've seen God intervene in my life and transform me and others but it's not to be compared to pentacost. We are not the apostles who walked with Christ in the 1st century. God gives the increase. My hope is Christ. To enter into His rest/ New Jerusalem. We all have dreams and hope here on earth. The book of ecclesiastes says to enjoy your life and keep the commandments of love but we all will die and stand before Christ. His reward is with him. This life down here is temporary and we are as a flower. Here today and gone tomorrow. You will get different answers from Full preterist but truly there are many things we dont know. No matter how much a person claims they know; they dont.
@@christianmichael8 Hello CM9070, thanks for your response. As a full-preterist I have to disagree because Jesus Himself said the gospel ended in their generation stated in (Matthew:24:14 & 34). Jesus said, that period in time, that gospel mission, that gathering them in, was going to come to an end. That gospel mission was a temporary short work upon the earth, as Paul called it. The gospel was for a specific purpose, the gospel was going to bring an end to the Old Covenant. The gospel mission was not intended for all of humanity. That mission was intended for the Israelites who were scattered amongst the surrounding nations. (Matthew:24:14&34)(NKJV)…14-And THIS GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM WILL BE PREACHED IN ALL THE WORLD AS A WITNESS TO ALL THE NATIONS, AND THEN THE END WILL COME.--34-Assuredly, I say to you, THIS GENERATION WILL BY NO MEANS PASS AWAY UNTIL ALL THESE THINGS TAKE PLACE. 🤔In (v.14), Jesus said that the gospel will be preached to all the nations, and then the end will come. Notice the order of events, does the gospel go to all the nations after the end or does the gospel go to all the nations first and then the end comes? Jesus never said the gospel mission would continue after the end comes. The gospel will not be carried over or picked up in the New Covenant system.--And if that passage is not clear enough for you, Jesus Himself clearly said in (v.34) that this gospel mission will end in their generation. Many Christians disregard this pivotal verse that dates the coming of Jesus! NOTE: 🤔Many dispensationalists get tripped up when they read that the gospel must be preached to all corners of the world, and then the end will come.--First of all, the gospel was preached to the whole world as prophesied and the “end of the age” being referred to here did end with the destruction of the Temple and the destruction of Jerusalem in 70AD.--Prior to 70AD the inhabited earth had heard the gospel…..“All creation under heaven” as Paul stated in (Colossians:1:23). You have to see it through the eyes of the first century audience because this all occurred in their generation as prophesied by Jesus Himself in (Matthew:24:34). -------- 🔴SECONDLY, THE LAW WAS NOT GIVEN TO THE WHOLE WORLD NOR PASSED ON TO THE CHURCH POST 70AD, IT WAS ONLY GIVEN TO THE ISRAELITES UNDER THE FIRST COVENANT: 🟢HERE, DAVID EXCLUSIVELY DECLARES THAT THE LAW WAS GIVEN TO ISRAEL ONLY AND NOT FOR ANY OTHER NATION. ONLY ISRAEL KNOWS HIS LAWS: (Psalm:147:19-20)(NIV)…19-He has revealed his word to JACOB, HIS LAWS AND DECREES TO ISRAEL. HE HAS DONE THIS FOR NO OTHER NATION; THEY DO NOT KNOW HIS LAWS. Praise the Lord. 🟢NO OTHER NATION WAS UNDER THE LAW BUT ISRAEL: (Deuteronomy:4:8)(NIV)…8-And what other nation is so great as to have such righteous decrees and laws as this body of laws I am setting before you today? NOTE: 🤔The Law was never passed on to the church nor to any other nation! 🟢HERE, JEREMIAH SAID THE NEW COVENANT WAS ALSO INTENDED FOR THE ISRAELITES ONLY: (Jeremiah:31:31-40)(NIV)...31-“THE DAYS ARE COMING,” declares the Lord, “WHEN I WILL MAKE A NEW COVENANT WITH THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL AND WITH THE PEOPLE OF JUDAH. 32-It will not be like the covenant I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because they broke my covenant, though I was a husband to them,” declares the Lord. 33-“THIS IS THE COVENANT I WILL MAKE WITH THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL AFTER THAT TIME,” declares the Lord. “I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. 34-No longer will they teach their neighbor, or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’ because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest,” declares the Lord. “FOR I WILL FORGIVE THEIR WICKEDNESS AND REMEMBER THEIR SINS NO MORE.” --------- I can give you many supporting verses but texting limits me to do so. But before you respond to the arguments I presented, can you please just share a brief summary of your eschatological position, so I can have a better understanding of your responses if you decide to continue this exchange……Thanks CM9070!
@@christianmichael8 Before I continue to present more arguments and verses to prove my IO perspective, I just want to let you know that I’m not an apologist nor a bible scholar. I became a believer in 1981 and consistently studied the bible. About 6 years ago I came across Preterism which means “past”. After learning how preterism looks at the prophecies of the bible as all pointing to the past and not as a future prophecy. I had no answers to their arguments. I just slowly drifted towards IO FULL PRETERISM the more I dwelt on it. I noticed the passages they use in their arguments are more convincing and like I said I had no counter argument for them. It was so overwelming in the beginning of my journey, because I had to renew my mind. These were also scripture verses speaking to me so I can’t just ignore them and be in denial. I do have a request for you to just read the arguments and most importantly analyze the verses attached to them. I just want your thoughts on them, these aren’t my words, its from Jesus Himself so why are Christians not getting it? --------- CHECK THIS OUT: 🔴ACCORDING TO THESE 5 VERSES BELOW, THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD, THE GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT, THE DELIVERY OF THE KINGDOM, & DESTRUCTION OF THE LAST ENEMY “DEATH” WILL ALL OCCUR AT THE COMING OF THE SON OF MAN: 🤔TO AVOID ANY CONFUSION, THIS COMING OF THE SON OF MAN IS NOT A VISIBLE EVENT! THIS IS NOT JESUS COMING DOWN FROM HEAVEN IN A PHYSICAL BODY. THIS IS A COMING IN JUDGMENT ON APOSTATE JERUSALEM. THIS IS A TYPE OF JUDGMENT LANGUAGE USED BY GOD AND THE PROPHETS TO WARN REBELLIOUS NATIONS OF A COMING JUDGMENT. THE DESTRUCTION OF THE TEMPLE & THE DESTRUCTION OF THE JERUSALEM WOULD BE VISIBLE BUT THE GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT PROCESS WOULD BE SPIRITUAL IN NATURE. 🔴HERE IS A TIME INDICATOR THAT TELL US WHEN ALL THESE “LAST DAYS” EVENTS WILL OCCUR, IN THEIR GENERATION! JESUS TELLS HIS DISCIPLES THAT SOME OF THEM WILL LIVE TO SEE THE SON OF MAN COME: 1️⃣(Matthew:16:27-28)(NKJV)…27-For the SON OF MAN WILL COME in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then HE WILL REWARD EACH ACCORDING TO HIS WORKS. Assuredly, I say to you, THERE ARE SOME STANDING HERE WHO SHALL NOT TASTE DEATH UNTIL THEY SEE THE SON OF MAN COMING IN HIS KINGDOM.” ------ 🟢ACCORDING TO PAUL THESE FOLLOWING “LAST DAY” EVENTS WILL OCCUR AT THE SAME TIME PERIOD: THE COMING OF THE SON OF MAN, THE ARRIVAL OF HIS KINGDOM & THE GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT: 2️⃣(2Timothy:4:1)(NKJV)…1-I charge you therefore before God and the LORD JESUS CHRIST, WHO WILL JUDGE THE LIVING AND THE DEAD AT HIS APPEARING AND HIS KINGDOM: ------ 🟢ACCORDING TO JOHN’S VISION IN (REV:20, THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD, THE REWARDING OF EACH ACCORDING TO THEIR DEEDS, AND THE DESTRUCTION OF DEATH & HADES ARE OCCURRING IN THE GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT: 3️⃣(Revelation:20:11-15)(NIV)…11-Then I saw a GREAT WHITE THRONE AND HIM WHO WAS SEATED ON IT. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. 12-And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. THE DEAD WERE JUDGED ACCORDING TO WHAT THEY HAD DONE as recorded in the books. 13-The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, AND EACH PERSON WAS JUDGED ACCORDING TO WHAT THEY HAD DONE. 14-THEN DEATH AND HADES WERE THROWN INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE. The lake of fire is the second death. 15-Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire. ------ 🟢IN (MATTHEW:25), YOU SEE JESUS DESCRIBING THE COMING OF THE SON OF MAN TO HIS DISCIPLES WHILE THE GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT IS SIMULTANEOUSLY GOING ON: 4️⃣(Matthew:25:31-34&41)…31-“WHEN THE SON OF MAN COMES IN HIS GLORY, AND ALL THE ANGELS WITH HIM, HE WILL SIT ON HIS GLORIOUS THRONE. 32-All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the SHEEP from the GOATS. 33-He will put the SHEEP on his right and the GOATS on his left...34-Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. ...41-Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. ------ 🟢HERE PAUL STATES THAT, AT HIS COMING, THE KINGDOM WILL BE DELIVERED AND THE LAST ENEMY “DEATH”, WILL BE DESTROYED: (John saw this in his vision in [Rev:20:14]) 5️⃣(1Corinthians:15:23-28)(ESV)…23-But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, 24-THEN AT HIS COMING those who belong to Christ. THEN COMES THE END, WHEN HE DELIVERS THE KINGDOM TO GOD THE FATHER AFTER DESTROYING EVERY RULE AND EVERY AUTHORITY AND POWER. 25-For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. 26-THE LAST ENEMY TO BE DESTROYED IS DEATH. 27-FOR “GOD HAS PUT ALL THINGS IN SUBJECTION UNDER HIS FEET.” But when it says, “ALL THINGS ARE PUT IN SUBJECTION,” it is plain that he is excepted who put all things in subjection under him. 28-When all things are subjected to him, then the Son himself will also be subjected to him who put all things in subjection under him, that God may be all in all. NOTE: 🤔Throughout the OT, to “sit on a throne” was a metaphor of having power, rule, or authority to judge. No, I’m not saying God doesn’t have a throne, but, in the light of the majority of Scripture only mentioning reward or punishment occurring at Christ’s return and the resurrection, I believe in this case that Jesus sitting on His throne in (Matthew:25:31) and (Rev:20:11) was metaphorical for His simply taking His position of power and authority, rather than an episode of “Judge Judy” being played out. ------ IN CONCLUSION: 🔴After reading and connecting these 5 passages, we can clearly conclude that the Coming of The Son of Man, the Resurrection of the Dead, the Great White Throne Judgment, the arrival of the Kingdom, and the destruction of the last enemy “Death”, all happened in their generation and clearly points to the destruction of the Temple and the destruction of apostate Jerusalem. ---------- Hey CM9070, I really appriciate your replies. Looking forward to more fruitful iron-sharpens-iron exchange. THANKS BUDDY!
Hey CM, in response to your last text message, the curse was exclusive to the covenant people Israelites only. They were the receipient of the judgment because they were the ones who committed the crimes and rebelled against the law, read (Matthew:23) ----- 🔴“THE CURSE” IS NOT SOME WORLDWIDE CURSE THAT HAS INFECTED OUR PHYSICALITY AND THAT ALL HUMANITY HAS INHERITED AFTER THE FALL OF ADAM. NOR IS THE CURSE SOMETHING THAT HAS AFFECTED THE PHYSICAL WORLD ITSELF. THE CURSE WAS THE CURSE OF THE MOSAIC LAW & THE COVENANT. “THE CURSE” WAS THE CURSE OF ISRAEL’S LAW & FIRST COVENANT. (Jeremiah:11:1-4)(NKJV)…1-The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying, 2-“Hear the words of this covenant, and speak to the men of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem; 3-and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God of Israel: “Cursed is the man who does not obey the words of this covenant 4-which I commanded your fathers in the day I brought them out of the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying, ‘Obey My voice, and do according to all that I command you; so shall you be My people, and I will be your God. ----- 🔴ACCORDING TO PAUL, THE COVENANTS AND THE PROMISES MADE BY GOD IN SCRIPTURES PERTAINS TO THE ISRAELITES! (Romans:9:4)(NKJV)…4-WHO ARE ISRAELITES, TO WHOM PERTAIN the adoption, the glory, THE COVENANTS, the GIVING OF THE LAW, the service of God, and THE PROMISES. ------ 🟢HERE DANIEL SAYS THAT, ALL ISRAEL IS GUILTY OF THE CURSE: (Daniel:9:11)(NKJV)…11-Yes, ALL ISRAEL has transgressed Your LAW, and has departed so as not to obey Your voice; therefore THE CURSE and THE OATH WRITTEN IN THE LAW OF MOSES the servant of God have been poured out on US (them, ALL Israel), because WE have sinned against Him. 🤔The curse was poured out specifically on those who transgressed the Law of Moses. Only Israel, ALL Israel Daniel says, was guilty of this, thus under the curse. ------- 🤔Thats why all the narratives in the bible are all addressing the Israelite and no other nation. You don’t here Jesus and the prophets addressing the Chinese or Filipinos, thats because they are not part of the Old Covenant and not covered by the Mosaic Law. The bible is Israel’s story, their eschatology. Its not for all humanity. I know that is hard to swallow right now but please, just read the verses and try to explain them. I know I can’t show you the whole picture with just a few text messages. You gotta approach it with an open mind. PEACE!
Postmillennialism is the most consistent form of reformed theology. I never ever would have thought I could have said or expressed that 2 years ago. I didn’t even take postmillennialism serious in the past and had always brushed it aside. I used to be a dispensationalist then was convinced of covenant theology holding to amillennialism before landing firmly in the Postmillennial camp which is correctly defined in this video as a whole worldview and just not an eschatology.
It’s just a question a question that asks Why Isaac or Solomon. Matt 1:1. Son of Abraham and son of David. In a sense it is. God had to spend many years showing what it was like to dwell personally/covenantally with a people with Priests, Kings, and Prophets so we would understand the fullness of Jesus as the true reality of all those positions that uphold covenant relationship with God.
With love, it does not say each day started with Gods breathe evaporating more and more water. You’re adding to the text your opinion. Here is what the text actually reads. In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day. If read properly without separating the text the same day God was hovering over the waters, he spoke. You again are changing the text to line up with your opinion. Be careful
Multiple Second Coming Visions in Revelation: (book not in chronological order ) Christ returns at the end of Revelation chapter 6, with signs in the sun, moon, and stars, as are found in the Olivet Discourse. Those at the end of the chapter are hiding from the wrath of the Lamb. Why would they be hiding if Christ is not present? The "kings", "captains", "might men", "free", and "bond" are also found in chapter 19 at the return of Christ. He returns at the 7th trumpet, which is the last trumpet in the Bible, and the time of the judgment of the dead in Revelation 11:15-18. The beginning of chapter 12 is a history lesson containing the fall of Satan, and the birth and death of Christ, who is the seed promised to crush the head of Satan in Genesis 3:15. The Second Coming is found in the "harvest" of chapter 14, which is related to the parable of the wheat and tares in Matthew chapter 13. He comes as a thief at Armageddon, and we find the greatest earthquake in history in chapter 16. This occurs when the 7th angel pours out his vial. How powerful is an earthquake which moves islands and destroys the mountains? What is happening to the planet? He comes on a horse in chapter 19. Chapter 20? Does He come with the fire, and the judgment of the dead at the end of chapter 20, which agrees with what Paul said in 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10, and 2 Timothy 4:1? (The time of the judgment of the dead is also found in Revelation 11:18.) There are no mortals left alive on the planet at the end of Matthew 25:31-46. Why does an angel come down from heaven with a key to unlock the bottomless pit in Revelation 9:1-2, if the pit was not already locked? Revelation 9:14 proves some of the angels were previously bound in some manner. Because the two witnesses were bodily resurrected from the dead in Revelation 11, the "first resurrection" at the beginning of Revelation 20 is not the first bodily resurrection in the book. The principle of "Recapitulation" means there are multiple visions of His return.
I'd suggest a little more O.T. understanding of the symbol language to understand Revelation is missing from your exegesis. You may disagree but a little James Jordan may give you greater insights even if you can't arrive at my understanding of what you've displayed here. Its very hard to have a beneficial discussion in these comments so please don't take it as a challenge to ones up me on these pages but I do know even a brief excursion with James Jordan will give you some further insight into symbolism as Jesus' language in His Revelation. Please note the book is written to the seven churches about things that were to take place 'shortly' and many hold to a late 60's writing of this Jesus, the Son of the Father's writing through John to these churches. Please read into this context. Praise Christ you are passionate about His Kingdom.
@@mikemoore3475 I used to believe the Premill. doctrine, because my preacher told me it was true. After I examined the rest of the New Testament, the idea ran into severe problems which could not be reconciled. Everyone here is welcome to examine the passages above.
I really do enjoy Gary pointing out the excesses of the Pre-Trib, Pre-Mil crowd, but when we read scripture, is the return of Jesus described as a peaceful event where Jesus is welcomed back to Earth by the Church, which has put politics, the economy, the media, arts, entertainment all under the authority and rule of Jesus, to conduct the Final Judgment and usher in the eternal state by a mostly "Christianized" world, or do we read of the return of Jesus as a violent and bloody event where the Son of God returns and then goes to war against His enemies and includes the rescue of Israel (Zech 12-14, Rev 19) ??
Thank you Pastor Ron. I am Pastor Robb Goodman Sr Pastor of Zion Freedom Fellowship in Westminster Maryland. May the Lord use you mightily in Jesus Name.
The ultimate fulfillment of Israel is found in Matthew 1:1, as confirmed by Paul in Galatians 3:16. Olivet Timing Revealed by Luke’s Gospel: Compare Luke's Gospel to that of Matthew if you want to understand the timing. The disciples asked two different questions. When will the temple be destroyed? What will be the sign of your Second Coming? Jesus Foretells Destruction of the Temple (These subtitles are found in e-Sword.) Luk 21:5 Then, as some spoke of the temple, how it was adorned with beautiful stones and donations, He said, Luk 21:6 "These things which you see-the days will come in which not one stone shall be left upon another that shall not be thrown down." (Mat 24:2 And Jesus said to them, "Do you not see all these things? Assuredly, I say to you, not one stone shall be left here upon another, that shall not be thrown down." ) Luk 21:7 So they asked Him, saying, "Teacher, but when will these things be? And what sign will there be when these things are about to take place?" (Mat 24:3 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?") ( Mar 13:3 Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked Him privately, Mar 13:4 "Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign when all these things will be fulfilled?") Luk 21:8 And He said: "Take heed that you not be deceived. For many will come in My name, saying, 'I am He,' and, 'The time has drawn near.' Therefore do not go after them. (Mat 24:5 For many will come in My name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and will deceive many. ) Luk 21:9 But when you hear of wars and commotions, do not be terrified; for these things must come to pass first, but the end will not come immediately." (Mat 24:6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.) Jesus Foretells Wars and Persecution Luk 21:10 Then He said to them, "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. (Mat 24:7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. ) Luk 21:11 And there will be great earthquakes in various places, and famines and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven. (Mat 24:7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. ) Luk 21:12 But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons. You will be brought before kings and rulers for My name's sake. (Mat 24:9 "Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name's sake.) (Read Acts 22:19-20, where Paul reveals that he fulfilled this text.) Luk 21:13 But it will turn out for you as an occasion for testimony. Luk 21:14 Therefore settle it in your hearts not to meditate beforehand on what you will answer; Luk 21:15 for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to contradict or resist. Luk 21:16 You will be betrayed even by parents and brothers, relatives and friends; and they will put some of you to death. Luk 21:17 And you will be hated by all for My name's sake. (Mat 24:10 And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. ) Luk 21:18 But not a hair of your head shall be lost. Luk 21:19 By your patience possess your souls. (Mat 24:13 But he who endures to the end shall be saved.) Jesus Foretells Destruction of Jerusalem Luk 21:20 "But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is near. (Mat 24:15 "Therefore when you see the 'ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION,' spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place" (whoever reads, let him understand), (Look at the reference to Hanukkah in John 10:22, if you want to know what the Jews of Jesus time understood about Antiochus Ephiphanes attacking the city during 167 BC, when his forces killed thousands of Jews, and stopped the sacrifices. Those two things also happened during 70AD.) Luk 21:21 Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those who are in the midst of her depart, and let not those who are in the country enter her. (Mat 24:16 "then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.) Luk 21:22 For these are the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. Luk 21:23 But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! For there will be great distress in the land and wrath upon this people. (See also Luke 23:28-31.) (Mat 24:19 But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! ) Luk 21:24 And they will fall by the edge of the sword, and be led away captive into all nations. And Jerusalem will be trampled by Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled. (Almost all Bible scholars agree that the first part of the verse above is about 70 AD. At the end of the verse we find a period of time known as “the times of the Gentiles”. In the verses that follow we find the future Second Coming of Christ. Paul also referred to this time period in Romans 11:25, and Acts 28:28.) The Coming of the Son of Man Luk 21:25 "And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; (Mat 24:29 "Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.) Luk 21:26 men's hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Luk 21:27 Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. (Mat 24:30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.) Luk 21:28 Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near." (Mat 24:33 So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near-at the doors!) ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: John 10:22 is a reference to the celebration of Hanukkah each year by the Jews of Jesus time. The Book of Matthew was addressed mainly to a Jewish audience. Jesus was telling the Jews of His time that something similar to 167 BC would happen during 70 AD. Not only did Antiochus desecrate the temple, but he also attacked the city killing thousands of Jews and stopped the temple sacrifices. The temple sacrifices would also stop in 70 AD, due to the destruction of the temple. Based on John 10:22, the Jews were well aware of this historical fulfillment of Daniel’s prophecy. Luke’s Gospel was written to more of a Gentile audience, so he spelled it out for them. Matthew 24:15-16 and Luke 21:20-21 are clearly parallel accounts because of the common word elements in both passages. We also have the same reference to flee in the second verse in each Gospel.
@AlSwearengen4 , the great tribulation at the end of the age in Matt 24 cannot be the same event as the destruction of the Temple in Luke 21 for many reasons. For example… Jesus said in Matt 24 to drop everything and flee, if they saw the abomination of desolation at the Temple, but by the time the Romans reached the Temple in 70 AD, most of the people had already been killed, and the survivors were trapped, so they were either killed or enslaved. I've told SpotterVideo this before, but he's apparently only interested in things that seem to support what he’s chosen to believe.
Hello The gospel is the gospel of the kingdom! Jesus the Messiah suffered and died, God raised him from the dead and exalted him to his right hand! Jesus is going to return and set up the kingdom of God ON THE EARTH! God’s government ON THE EARTH! Believers will rule the nations with Jesus! The Messiah died for his people! God resurrected the Messiah! The Messiah will resurrect his people at his coming! They will rule the nations! The destiny of the Messiah and his people is to be ON THE EARTH! The renewed restored earth! God also dwelling with them! Rev 21 Matt 24 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. Jesus said the Father is the only true God! John 17 3 And this is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.
sounds good 👍
What about 2 Thess 2 sounds like a future temple to be built.
Cumplir los mandamientos es amar a Dios y al projimo como a nosotros mismos.

Hey I know Fred
Amen
Que bendición! Muchas gracias 😊
Well done.
¡¡¡Gloria a Dios!!!
Christians call Israel the ( Holy Land), but it's nothing more than a tourist destination...they go there to see what it was 2000 years ago and most of the land especially the city of David is still buried, the temple mound has a Muslim Mocque built in the middle of it... and the largest LGBTQ march goes on every year in Tel- Avie, and they call it the Holy Land...God help us!
I love your work and study Bro. GARY!
A response to this Israel-Only eschatology has been posted online: m.ua-cam.com/video/4HHWN2NPqJ4/v-deo.html
Today I listened to 2 parts of Gary DeMar’s presentation titled “Far As The Curse Is Found”. He goes to great lengths to demonstrate the falsehood of Dispensationalism and common ignorance regarding time-statements and audience relevance. I can surely appreciate that. However, in part 2, he says, “Not all Jews rejected Jesus as the Promised Messiah. The Jews did not reject Jesus. It was mostly the hierarchy, the establishment, that rejected Jesus as the Promised Messiah. They are the ones who brought Jesus before Pilate because they knew they could not use their religious arguments against Jesus, so they brought political arguments….So it was necessary for Jesus to separate the unbelievers and the believers, to basically get rid of the Old Covenant order, and that was with the destruction of Jerusalem that took place in AD 70. Now the Full Preterist says everything ended, everything ended, for the world at large after the destruction of Jerusalem AD 70. There’s really nothing yet to experience as Christians ands be involved in the world. Yes, you can do all that, but things just keep going on and on and on. Because according to them, Israel’s eschatology is our eschatology” (what he later calls “world eschatology”). I couldn’t keep count regarding how many times Gary said that New Testament eschatology is Israel’s eschatology. So where do we find “our eschatology”, this “world eschatology” he speaks of? What exactly needs to end in the “Post-AD 70 world” (as he calls it)? What Full Preterist believes what Gary is saying? None of the hundreds of Full Preterists that I network with. Rather, Full Preterists say that the Old Covenant order ended and there is a whole lot of healing, growth, and opportunity for Christians to experience since the time that ‘not one stone was left’. And since that’s so, it’s surely good news that “things just keep going on and one and on”.
Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.
Very clear explanation
Glad to see you from the pulpit again, Pastor Ron.
Great speech!
Hello, I am new to preterism and coming out of a premil group kinda messed up my eschatology and everything that I know. I just have a few questions for now about being "born again", is that still for post AD70 people to apply to enter heaven? How are we saved today? Can you elaborate more on that in a preterist perspective. Secondly, what happens after life or upon death? Lastly, was the Holy Spirit "only" sent for the Israelites, to indwell them and not meant for us, post AD70? How does that work now? Please use verses to show me. Thank you for your help. Victor from Long Beach CA.
Yes we must still be born again. After we die; we are resurrected. To be absent from the body is to be present with Lord. When you are born again you do recieve the Holy Spirit. Remember it's the Spirit that quickens. You do not recieve supernatural powers however. I believe God is in control and answers prayers. I've seen God intervene in my life and transform me and others but it's not to be compared to pentacost. We are not the apostles who walked with Christ in the 1st century. God gives the increase. My hope is Christ. To enter into His rest/ New Jerusalem. We all have dreams and hope here on earth. The book of ecclesiastes says to enjoy your life and keep the commandments of love but we all will die and stand before Christ. His reward is with him. This life down here is temporary and we are as a flower. Here today and gone tomorrow. You will get different answers from Full preterist but truly there are many things we dont know. No matter how much a person claims they know; they dont.
@@christianmichael8 Hello CM9070, thanks for your response. As a full-preterist I have to disagree because Jesus Himself said the gospel ended in their generation stated in (Matthew:24:14 & 34). Jesus said, that period in time, that gospel mission, that gathering them in, was going to come to an end. That gospel mission was a temporary short work upon the earth, as Paul called it. The gospel was for a specific purpose, the gospel was going to bring an end to the Old Covenant. The gospel mission was not intended for all of humanity. That mission was intended for the Israelites who were scattered amongst the surrounding nations. (Matthew:24:14&34)(NKJV)…14-And THIS GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM WILL BE PREACHED IN ALL THE WORLD AS A WITNESS TO ALL THE NATIONS, AND THEN THE END WILL COME.--34-Assuredly, I say to you, THIS GENERATION WILL BY NO MEANS PASS AWAY UNTIL ALL THESE THINGS TAKE PLACE. 🤔In (v.14), Jesus said that the gospel will be preached to all the nations, and then the end will come. Notice the order of events, does the gospel go to all the nations after the end or does the gospel go to all the nations first and then the end comes? Jesus never said the gospel mission would continue after the end comes. The gospel will not be carried over or picked up in the New Covenant system.--And if that passage is not clear enough for you, Jesus Himself clearly said in (v.34) that this gospel mission will end in their generation. Many Christians disregard this pivotal verse that dates the coming of Jesus! NOTE: 🤔Many dispensationalists get tripped up when they read that the gospel must be preached to all corners of the world, and then the end will come.--First of all, the gospel was preached to the whole world as prophesied and the “end of the age” being referred to here did end with the destruction of the Temple and the destruction of Jerusalem in 70AD.--Prior to 70AD the inhabited earth had heard the gospel…..“All creation under heaven” as Paul stated in (Colossians:1:23). You have to see it through the eyes of the first century audience because this all occurred in their generation as prophesied by Jesus Himself in (Matthew:24:34). -------- 🔴SECONDLY, THE LAW WAS NOT GIVEN TO THE WHOLE WORLD NOR PASSED ON TO THE CHURCH POST 70AD, IT WAS ONLY GIVEN TO THE ISRAELITES UNDER THE FIRST COVENANT: 🟢HERE, DAVID EXCLUSIVELY DECLARES THAT THE LAW WAS GIVEN TO ISRAEL ONLY AND NOT FOR ANY OTHER NATION. ONLY ISRAEL KNOWS HIS LAWS: (Psalm:147:19-20)(NIV)…19-He has revealed his word to JACOB, HIS LAWS AND DECREES TO ISRAEL. HE HAS DONE THIS FOR NO OTHER NATION; THEY DO NOT KNOW HIS LAWS. Praise the Lord. 🟢NO OTHER NATION WAS UNDER THE LAW BUT ISRAEL: (Deuteronomy:4:8)(NIV)…8-And what other nation is so great as to have such righteous decrees and laws as this body of laws I am setting before you today? NOTE: 🤔The Law was never passed on to the church nor to any other nation! 🟢HERE, JEREMIAH SAID THE NEW COVENANT WAS ALSO INTENDED FOR THE ISRAELITES ONLY: (Jeremiah:31:31-40)(NIV)...31-“THE DAYS ARE COMING,” declares the Lord, “WHEN I WILL MAKE A NEW COVENANT WITH THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL AND WITH THE PEOPLE OF JUDAH. 32-It will not be like the covenant I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because they broke my covenant, though I was a husband to them,” declares the Lord. 33-“THIS IS THE COVENANT I WILL MAKE WITH THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL AFTER THAT TIME,” declares the Lord. “I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. 34-No longer will they teach their neighbor, or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’ because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest,” declares the Lord. “FOR I WILL FORGIVE THEIR WICKEDNESS AND REMEMBER THEIR SINS NO MORE.” --------- I can give you many supporting verses but texting limits me to do so. But before you respond to the arguments I presented, can you please just share a brief summary of your eschatological position, so I can have a better understanding of your responses if you decide to continue this exchange……Thanks CM9070!
So are you israel only and basically none of it matters since it doesnt apply to us?
@@christianmichael8 Before I continue to present more arguments and verses to prove my IO perspective, I just want to let you know that I’m not an apologist nor a bible scholar. I became a believer in 1981 and consistently studied the bible. About 6 years ago I came across Preterism which means “past”. After learning how preterism looks at the prophecies of the bible as all pointing to the past and not as a future prophecy. I had no answers to their arguments. I just slowly drifted towards IO FULL PRETERISM the more I dwelt on it. I noticed the passages they use in their arguments are more convincing and like I said I had no counter argument for them. It was so overwelming in the beginning of my journey, because I had to renew my mind. These were also scripture verses speaking to me so I can’t just ignore them and be in denial. I do have a request for you to just read the arguments and most importantly analyze the verses attached to them. I just want your thoughts on them, these aren’t my words, its from Jesus Himself so why are Christians not getting it? --------- CHECK THIS OUT: 🔴ACCORDING TO THESE 5 VERSES BELOW, THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD, THE GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT, THE DELIVERY OF THE KINGDOM, & DESTRUCTION OF THE LAST ENEMY “DEATH” WILL ALL OCCUR AT THE COMING OF THE SON OF MAN: 🤔TO AVOID ANY CONFUSION, THIS COMING OF THE SON OF MAN IS NOT A VISIBLE EVENT! THIS IS NOT JESUS COMING DOWN FROM HEAVEN IN A PHYSICAL BODY. THIS IS A COMING IN JUDGMENT ON APOSTATE JERUSALEM. THIS IS A TYPE OF JUDGMENT LANGUAGE USED BY GOD AND THE PROPHETS TO WARN REBELLIOUS NATIONS OF A COMING JUDGMENT. THE DESTRUCTION OF THE TEMPLE & THE DESTRUCTION OF THE JERUSALEM WOULD BE VISIBLE BUT THE GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT PROCESS WOULD BE SPIRITUAL IN NATURE. 🔴HERE IS A TIME INDICATOR THAT TELL US WHEN ALL THESE “LAST DAYS” EVENTS WILL OCCUR, IN THEIR GENERATION! JESUS TELLS HIS DISCIPLES THAT SOME OF THEM WILL LIVE TO SEE THE SON OF MAN COME: 1️⃣(Matthew:16:27-28)(NKJV)…27-For the SON OF MAN WILL COME in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then HE WILL REWARD EACH ACCORDING TO HIS WORKS. Assuredly, I say to you, THERE ARE SOME STANDING HERE WHO SHALL NOT TASTE DEATH UNTIL THEY SEE THE SON OF MAN COMING IN HIS KINGDOM.” ------ 🟢ACCORDING TO PAUL THESE FOLLOWING “LAST DAY” EVENTS WILL OCCUR AT THE SAME TIME PERIOD: THE COMING OF THE SON OF MAN, THE ARRIVAL OF HIS KINGDOM & THE GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT: 2️⃣(2Timothy:4:1)(NKJV)…1-I charge you therefore before God and the LORD JESUS CHRIST, WHO WILL JUDGE THE LIVING AND THE DEAD AT HIS APPEARING AND HIS KINGDOM: ------ 🟢ACCORDING TO JOHN’S VISION IN (REV:20, THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD, THE REWARDING OF EACH ACCORDING TO THEIR DEEDS, AND THE DESTRUCTION OF DEATH & HADES ARE OCCURRING IN THE GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT: 3️⃣(Revelation:20:11-15)(NIV)…11-Then I saw a GREAT WHITE THRONE AND HIM WHO WAS SEATED ON IT. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. 12-And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. THE DEAD WERE JUDGED ACCORDING TO WHAT THEY HAD DONE as recorded in the books. 13-The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, AND EACH PERSON WAS JUDGED ACCORDING TO WHAT THEY HAD DONE. 14-THEN DEATH AND HADES WERE THROWN INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE. The lake of fire is the second death. 15-Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire. ------ 🟢IN (MATTHEW:25), YOU SEE JESUS DESCRIBING THE COMING OF THE SON OF MAN TO HIS DISCIPLES WHILE THE GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT IS SIMULTANEOUSLY GOING ON: 4️⃣(Matthew:25:31-34&41)…31-“WHEN THE SON OF MAN COMES IN HIS GLORY, AND ALL THE ANGELS WITH HIM, HE WILL SIT ON HIS GLORIOUS THRONE. 32-All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the SHEEP from the GOATS. 33-He will put the SHEEP on his right and the GOATS on his left...34-Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. ...41-Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. ------ 🟢HERE PAUL STATES THAT, AT HIS COMING, THE KINGDOM WILL BE DELIVERED AND THE LAST ENEMY “DEATH”, WILL BE DESTROYED: (John saw this in his vision in [Rev:20:14]) 5️⃣(1Corinthians:15:23-28)(ESV)…23-But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, 24-THEN AT HIS COMING those who belong to Christ. THEN COMES THE END, WHEN HE DELIVERS THE KINGDOM TO GOD THE FATHER AFTER DESTROYING EVERY RULE AND EVERY AUTHORITY AND POWER. 25-For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. 26-THE LAST ENEMY TO BE DESTROYED IS DEATH. 27-FOR “GOD HAS PUT ALL THINGS IN SUBJECTION UNDER HIS FEET.” But when it says, “ALL THINGS ARE PUT IN SUBJECTION,” it is plain that he is excepted who put all things in subjection under him. 28-When all things are subjected to him, then the Son himself will also be subjected to him who put all things in subjection under him, that God may be all in all. NOTE: 🤔Throughout the OT, to “sit on a throne” was a metaphor of having power, rule, or authority to judge. No, I’m not saying God doesn’t have a throne, but, in the light of the majority of Scripture only mentioning reward or punishment occurring at Christ’s return and the resurrection, I believe in this case that Jesus sitting on His throne in (Matthew:25:31) and (Rev:20:11) was metaphorical for His simply taking His position of power and authority, rather than an episode of “Judge Judy” being played out. ------ IN CONCLUSION: 🔴After reading and connecting these 5 passages, we can clearly conclude that the Coming of The Son of Man, the Resurrection of the Dead, the Great White Throne Judgment, the arrival of the Kingdom, and the destruction of the last enemy “Death”, all happened in their generation and clearly points to the destruction of the Temple and the destruction of apostate Jerusalem. ---------- Hey CM9070, I really appriciate your replies. Looking forward to more fruitful iron-sharpens-iron exchange. THANKS BUDDY!
Hey CM, in response to your last text message, the curse was exclusive to the covenant people Israelites only. They were the receipient of the judgment because they were the ones who committed the crimes and rebelled against the law, read (Matthew:23) ----- 🔴“THE CURSE” IS NOT SOME WORLDWIDE CURSE THAT HAS INFECTED OUR PHYSICALITY AND THAT ALL HUMANITY HAS INHERITED AFTER THE FALL OF ADAM. NOR IS THE CURSE SOMETHING THAT HAS AFFECTED THE PHYSICAL WORLD ITSELF. THE CURSE WAS THE CURSE OF THE MOSAIC LAW & THE COVENANT. “THE CURSE” WAS THE CURSE OF ISRAEL’S LAW & FIRST COVENANT. (Jeremiah:11:1-4)(NKJV)…1-The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying, 2-“Hear the words of this covenant, and speak to the men of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem; 3-and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God of Israel: “Cursed is the man who does not obey the words of this covenant 4-which I commanded your fathers in the day I brought them out of the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying, ‘Obey My voice, and do according to all that I command you; so shall you be My people, and I will be your God. ----- 🔴ACCORDING TO PAUL, THE COVENANTS AND THE PROMISES MADE BY GOD IN SCRIPTURES PERTAINS TO THE ISRAELITES! (Romans:9:4)(NKJV)…4-WHO ARE ISRAELITES, TO WHOM PERTAIN the adoption, the glory, THE COVENANTS, the GIVING OF THE LAW, the service of God, and THE PROMISES. ------ 🟢HERE DANIEL SAYS THAT, ALL ISRAEL IS GUILTY OF THE CURSE: (Daniel:9:11)(NKJV)…11-Yes, ALL ISRAEL has transgressed Your LAW, and has departed so as not to obey Your voice; therefore THE CURSE and THE OATH WRITTEN IN THE LAW OF MOSES the servant of God have been poured out on US (them, ALL Israel), because WE have sinned against Him. 🤔The curse was poured out specifically on those who transgressed the Law of Moses. Only Israel, ALL Israel Daniel says, was guilty of this, thus under the curse. ------- 🤔Thats why all the narratives in the bible are all addressing the Israelite and no other nation. You don’t here Jesus and the prophets addressing the Chinese or Filipinos, thats because they are not part of the Old Covenant and not covered by the Mosaic Law. The bible is Israel’s story, their eschatology. Its not for all humanity. I know that is hard to swallow right now but please, just read the verses and try to explain them. I know I can’t show you the whole picture with just a few text messages. You gotta approach it with an open mind. PEACE!
Amen.

Thank you
Postmillennialism is the most consistent form of reformed theology. I never ever would have thought I could have said or expressed that 2 years ago. I didn’t even take postmillennialism serious in the past and had always brushed it aside. I used to be a dispensationalist then was convinced of covenant theology holding to amillennialism before landing firmly in the Postmillennial camp which is correctly defined in this video as a whole worldview and just not an eschatology.
Was Israel’s history the true parentheses in the history of the kingdom of God.
What do you mean?
It’s just a question a question that asks Why Isaac or Solomon. Matt 1:1. Son of Abraham and son of David. In a sense it is. God had to spend many years showing what it was like to dwell personally/covenantally with a people with Priests, Kings, and Prophets so we would understand the fullness of Jesus as the true reality of all those positions that uphold covenant relationship with God.
One of the best! Thank you so much!!!
Fantastic message for our day, and every day! Thank you, Pastor Ron!
Exegesis please
Amen alexi
Praise God for faithful churchmen.
Excellent.
Very encouraging. Thanks Pastor ❤
With love, it does not say each day started with Gods breathe evaporating more and more water. You’re adding to the text your opinion. Here is what the text actually reads. In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day. If read properly without separating the text the same day God was hovering over the waters, he spoke. You again are changing the text to line up with your opinion. Be careful
Great message Pastor! Thanks 😊
Was it a UFO.
Thank you Ron! It takes a lot of education to get that dumb, lol!
What Scripture is used in New Testament to support your statements of murder in defense?
You do understand the difference between kill and murder, correct? Not intending to be insulting, just trying to define the terms here.
Multiple Second Coming Visions in Revelation: (book not in chronological order ) Christ returns at the end of Revelation chapter 6, with signs in the sun, moon, and stars, as are found in the Olivet Discourse. Those at the end of the chapter are hiding from the wrath of the Lamb. Why would they be hiding if Christ is not present? The "kings", "captains", "might men", "free", and "bond" are also found in chapter 19 at the return of Christ. He returns at the 7th trumpet, which is the last trumpet in the Bible, and the time of the judgment of the dead in Revelation 11:15-18. The beginning of chapter 12 is a history lesson containing the fall of Satan, and the birth and death of Christ, who is the seed promised to crush the head of Satan in Genesis 3:15. The Second Coming is found in the "harvest" of chapter 14, which is related to the parable of the wheat and tares in Matthew chapter 13. He comes as a thief at Armageddon, and we find the greatest earthquake in history in chapter 16. This occurs when the 7th angel pours out his vial. How powerful is an earthquake which moves islands and destroys the mountains? What is happening to the planet? He comes on a horse in chapter 19. Chapter 20? Does He come with the fire, and the judgment of the dead at the end of chapter 20, which agrees with what Paul said in 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10, and 2 Timothy 4:1? (The time of the judgment of the dead is also found in Revelation 11:18.) There are no mortals left alive on the planet at the end of Matthew 25:31-46. Why does an angel come down from heaven with a key to unlock the bottomless pit in Revelation 9:1-2, if the pit was not already locked? Revelation 9:14 proves some of the angels were previously bound in some manner. Because the two witnesses were bodily resurrected from the dead in Revelation 11, the "first resurrection" at the beginning of Revelation 20 is not the first bodily resurrection in the book. The principle of "Recapitulation" means there are multiple visions of His return.
I'd suggest a little more O.T. understanding of the symbol language to understand Revelation is missing from your exegesis. You may disagree but a little James Jordan may give you greater insights even if you can't arrive at my understanding of what you've displayed here. Its very hard to have a beneficial discussion in these comments so please don't take it as a challenge to ones up me on these pages but I do know even a brief excursion with James Jordan will give you some further insight into symbolism as Jesus' language in His Revelation. Please note the book is written to the seven churches about things that were to take place 'shortly' and many hold to a late 60's writing of this Jesus, the Son of the Father's writing through John to these churches. Please read into this context. Praise Christ you are passionate about His Kingdom.
@@mikemoore3475 I used to believe the Premill. doctrine, because my preacher told me it was true. After I examined the rest of the New Testament, the idea ran into severe problems which could not be reconciled. Everyone here is welcome to examine the passages above.
I really do enjoy Gary pointing out the excesses of the Pre-Trib, Pre-Mil crowd, but when we read scripture, is the return of Jesus described as a peaceful event where Jesus is welcomed back to Earth by the Church, which has put politics, the economy, the media, arts, entertainment all under the authority and rule of Jesus, to conduct the Final Judgment and usher in the eternal state by a mostly "Christianized" world, or do we read of the return of Jesus as a violent and bloody event where the Son of God returns and then goes to war against His enemies and includes the rescue of Israel (Zech 12-14, Rev 19) ??
Fantasy eschatology believed by millions, truth believed by thousands.
Thank you Pastor Ron. I am Pastor Robb Goodman Sr Pastor of Zion Freedom Fellowship in Westminster Maryland. May the Lord use you mightily in Jesus Name.
The ultimate fulfillment of Israel is found in Matthew 1:1, as confirmed by Paul in Galatians 3:16. Olivet Timing Revealed by Luke’s Gospel: Compare Luke's Gospel to that of Matthew if you want to understand the timing. The disciples asked two different questions. When will the temple be destroyed? What will be the sign of your Second Coming? Jesus Foretells Destruction of the Temple (These subtitles are found in e-Sword.) Luk 21:5 Then, as some spoke of the temple, how it was adorned with beautiful stones and donations, He said, Luk 21:6 "These things which you see-the days will come in which not one stone shall be left upon another that shall not be thrown down." (Mat 24:2 And Jesus said to them, "Do you not see all these things? Assuredly, I say to you, not one stone shall be left here upon another, that shall not be thrown down." ) Luk 21:7 So they asked Him, saying, "Teacher, but when will these things be? And what sign will there be when these things are about to take place?" (Mat 24:3 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?") ( Mar 13:3 Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked Him privately, Mar 13:4 "Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign when all these things will be fulfilled?") Luk 21:8 And He said: "Take heed that you not be deceived. For many will come in My name, saying, 'I am He,' and, 'The time has drawn near.' Therefore do not go after them. (Mat 24:5 For many will come in My name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and will deceive many. ) Luk 21:9 But when you hear of wars and commotions, do not be terrified; for these things must come to pass first, but the end will not come immediately." (Mat 24:6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.) Jesus Foretells Wars and Persecution Luk 21:10 Then He said to them, "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. (Mat 24:7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. ) Luk 21:11 And there will be great earthquakes in various places, and famines and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven. (Mat 24:7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. ) Luk 21:12 But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons. You will be brought before kings and rulers for My name's sake. (Mat 24:9 "Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name's sake.) (Read Acts 22:19-20, where Paul reveals that he fulfilled this text.) Luk 21:13 But it will turn out for you as an occasion for testimony. Luk 21:14 Therefore settle it in your hearts not to meditate beforehand on what you will answer; Luk 21:15 for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to contradict or resist. Luk 21:16 You will be betrayed even by parents and brothers, relatives and friends; and they will put some of you to death. Luk 21:17 And you will be hated by all for My name's sake. (Mat 24:10 And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. ) Luk 21:18 But not a hair of your head shall be lost. Luk 21:19 By your patience possess your souls. (Mat 24:13 But he who endures to the end shall be saved.) Jesus Foretells Destruction of Jerusalem Luk 21:20 "But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is near. (Mat 24:15 "Therefore when you see the 'ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION,' spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place" (whoever reads, let him understand), (Look at the reference to Hanukkah in John 10:22, if you want to know what the Jews of Jesus time understood about Antiochus Ephiphanes attacking the city during 167 BC, when his forces killed thousands of Jews, and stopped the sacrifices. Those two things also happened during 70AD.) Luk 21:21 Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those who are in the midst of her depart, and let not those who are in the country enter her. (Mat 24:16 "then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.) Luk 21:22 For these are the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. Luk 21:23 But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! For there will be great distress in the land and wrath upon this people. (See also Luke 23:28-31.) (Mat 24:19 But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! ) Luk 21:24 And they will fall by the edge of the sword, and be led away captive into all nations. And Jerusalem will be trampled by Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled. (Almost all Bible scholars agree that the first part of the verse above is about 70 AD. At the end of the verse we find a period of time known as “the times of the Gentiles”. In the verses that follow we find the future Second Coming of Christ. Paul also referred to this time period in Romans 11:25, and Acts 28:28.) The Coming of the Son of Man Luk 21:25 "And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; (Mat 24:29 "Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.) Luk 21:26 men's hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Luk 21:27 Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. (Mat 24:30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.) Luk 21:28 Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near." (Mat 24:33 So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near-at the doors!) ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: John 10:22 is a reference to the celebration of Hanukkah each year by the Jews of Jesus time. The Book of Matthew was addressed mainly to a Jewish audience. Jesus was telling the Jews of His time that something similar to 167 BC would happen during 70 AD. Not only did Antiochus desecrate the temple, but he also attacked the city killing thousands of Jews and stopped the temple sacrifices. The temple sacrifices would also stop in 70 AD, due to the destruction of the temple. Based on John 10:22, the Jews were well aware of this historical fulfillment of Daniel’s prophecy. Luke’s Gospel was written to more of a Gentile audience, so he spelled it out for them. Matthew 24:15-16 and Luke 21:20-21 are clearly parallel accounts because of the common word elements in both passages. We also have the same reference to flee in the second verse in each Gospel.
You laid that out beautifully!
@AlSwearengen4 , the great tribulation at the end of the age in Matt 24 cannot be the same event as the destruction of the Temple in Luke 21 for many reasons. For example… Jesus said in Matt 24 to drop everything and flee, if they saw the abomination of desolation at the Temple, but by the time the Romans reached the Temple in 70 AD, most of the people had already been killed, and the survivors were trapped, so they were either killed or enslaved. I've told SpotterVideo this before, but he's apparently only interested in things that seem to support what he’s chosen to believe.
Best I've seen.
Hello The gospel is the gospel of the kingdom! Jesus the Messiah suffered and died, God raised him from the dead and exalted him to his right hand! Jesus is going to return and set up the kingdom of God ON THE EARTH! God’s government ON THE EARTH! Believers will rule the nations with Jesus! The Messiah died for his people! God resurrected the Messiah! The Messiah will resurrect his people at his coming! They will rule the nations! The destiny of the Messiah and his people is to be ON THE EARTH! The renewed restored earth! God also dwelling with them! Rev 21 Matt 24 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. Jesus said the Father is the only true God! John 17 3 And this is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.
